WHIPLASH

I have started a very interesting book, WHIPLASH, by Catherine Coulter.  About big pharma and a shortage of a drug for cancer.  Rather scary in that this could be such a real situation!

Bones

Finished Bones of the Lost!  This time Temperance stays in the States, with a side trip to Afghanistan.   As usual, I enjoyed the forensics, and new knowledge learned from her work and travelling.  Now waiting for her next!

BONES OF THE LOST

BONESOF THE LOST

Kathy Reichs latest. I haven't finished reading this yet, but more than usual, am intrigued with the forensics and anthropology, two topics I truly love!

Love them, Buy them!!

Munro/Atwood

I have a very embarrassing confession to make.  I have not read any Alice Munro or Margaret Atwood books.  Not one.  So where do I start?  Suggestions?

J. D. Robb's In Death Series

A great series...J.D. Robb's In Death Series. The crime at the beginning can often be gruesome, but I love the futuristic element and the forensics.  I have read every novel, right from the beginning.  As with most series, I enjoy the character development!

Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother

This book is amazing.  Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, Amy Chua. If my mother had been like this, I wouldn't have survived. On the other hand, I admire Amy Chua, just a little!

I think it's time to read!

                                 

Family Under the Bridge

I was browsing some booksites and saw this title: The Family Under the Bridge, by Natalie Carlson.  I have fond memories of this short novel. Even in this electronic age, this book kept the attention of my Gr. 4 students. It takes place in Paris under one of the bridges and surrounding area.  How Armand, a hobo, and the family, shared their "rooms" under the bridge is what enchanted them.

I am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced

I was not going to post today, but had to share this book that was so fascinating to read.  It's an autobiography by Nujood Ali, as a young girl of 10, living with her family in Yemen. 
Nujood was chosen as "Woman of the Year', 2008, by Glamour magazine.

Still Alice, LEFT neglected, love anthony By Lisa Genova

 One day when I was in line at the library a lady  suggested that I read the book that she had just returned.  Still Alice by Lisa Genova.  She was so insistent that I  grabbed the copy from the Fast Tract shelf. 
This is about a 50 year old women's very slow awareness that she has early inset Alzheimer's.
Rather than finding this book depressing, I found it enlightening.  They say that knowledge is powerful.  I found this to be so true after digesting all the information from this novel, put forth in such a poignant fashion.
LEFT Neglected held my attention to the end.  A car crash completely erases the left side of Sarah's world.  She is aware of nothing on the left side.  This amazing story tells of her therapy and rehab. 
love anthony...on my 'still to read' list.

Bones

Does anyone out there read Kathy Reichs' Bones series?   I love the Cdn./USA connection and the forensic anthropology.  I also watch the series on TV.  Though for a younger crowd, the Virals and Seizure, are also enjoyable.

My First Post!

Nothing is better than having some free time to curl up with a good book and a coffee/wine!  Since buying my first eBook, a Kobo, I've experienced reading more books on topics I would never before have chosen.  Why?  Because I didn't know they were available! 
I linked my Kobo into my community library, figuring I'd get all the latest novels by authors I love.  I was so wrong!  None of them were available!  But, on the side of the page was a list of all the categories available on eBooks.  Wow!  What a find!  I scrolled for what seemed like hours, and down loaded my first 3 books.  One by Michael J. Fox, Lucky Man, A Memoir; several by Linwood Barclay, and another favourite, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother by Amy Chua. 
So, now I check all the categories and find wonderful books, even one about decluttering the house, and another showing Garden Trains.  Way too expensive a project, but in my dreams...
Travel, historical fiction, Mystery/Suspense, easy reading Romance.  I love them all!
