I Survived the Eruption of Mount St. Helens - 1980 (I Survived #14)

Review:I love this series, but this book is extra special because of the story behind it. Lauren wrote the I Survived series for her three boys who disliked reading.

The Prisoner in the Castle: A Maggie Hope Mystery
The Prisoner in the Castle: A Maggie Hope Mystery

Review:Dame Agatha Christie would be pleased, I think. The Prisoner in the Castle pays homage to And Then There Were None and Murder on the Orient Express.

The Lost Heir (The Gryphon Chronicles, Book 1)

Review:I kept getting taken out of the Victorian period by some of the speech patterns of the characters, and word choice of the first person narration. For $1.99 it was alright. I won't be reading the sequels. Read more

A History of Loneliness
A History of Loneliness

Review:This author is a guarantee for excellent Reading. The present title is no exception. Sincé many years I do not consider myself a Christian anymore, less a Catholic and Mr. Boyne does confirm my (un)believings with this book which describes the rotten system of the church in Ireland.

How I Live Now
How I Live Now

Review:The book is interesting and entertaining the whole way through. One thing that was a challenge to get used to was the fact that there was no dialogue. There were conversations within characters, however no distinctive quotations. It read's as if Daisy, the main character, were sitting in front of you to tell the story. Overall very good, easy read to pass time! Read more
