36. Failure of Nerve

Required reading by Todd for all staff.

Need a dedicated college class to digest all of the information and deep thoughts. Like reading a textbook.

Good stuff I am sure, but slow, tough reading


32 - 35

The Bungalow - Good love story that will frustrate you girls. Takes place in the summer of 1942 as the war is starting. Engaged girl becomes a nurse and meets a soldier, falls in love, but goes home and marries her fiance', is widowed, grows old and reunites with soldier.


The Drop - Great new book with character LAPD detective Harry Bosch. Good tough cop who knows how to solve cold cases. Recommend any book with Bosch.


The Best of Me - Nicholas Sparks - what can I say, get ready to cry... Read it if you like his books.


Love in a Nutshell - Fun beach read - charming characters, just kind of fluffy.


28 - 31

A Dublin Student Doctor - Great heartwarming story about a 1930's Irish medical student. Megan & Britt might like.


The Underside of Joy - Good story, Good stepmother is raising kids when her husband dies suddenly and the ex-wife shows up at the funeral and wants the kids back. Happy Ending though a few tears along the way!


Three-Day Town - Okay mystery story - kind of bland.




Emory's Gift - Great story. Normally, I don't love books where animals play a major role, but this one is different. Won't spoil it but, Emory is a wild bear who might be someone else... Read it!!


27. The Last Thing I Remember

Loved it! And apparently there are 3 more in the series. I was just shopping at Ollies, they have a great cheap book selection, and picked it up.

Back cover:
Charlie West just woke up in someone else's nightmare. He's strapped to a chair. He's covered in blood and bruises. He hurts all over. And a strange voice outside outside the door just ordered his death.
The last thing he can remember, he was a normal high-school kid doing normal things...How long ago was that? Where is he now?...

Great thriller with a great story. I am going to buy the other 3 in the series from Alibris soon.

Harrison would like it!


26. Water for Elephants

Well, I wasn't interested in this book at first because I saw the movie trailer and didn't want to see it. Still haven't. Anyway, I went to visit my mom and finished my book and needed another so I got it at Target.
I didn't love it, but it was a compelling story and I had to find out what happened at the end. Just kind of a weird story.

25. Further Chronicles of Avonlea

Another great book of short stories by the author of Anne of Green Gables. If you love Anne, and you are in my family, then you own this book. Everyone else, I feel sorry that you don't love Anne!!

24. The Sleeping Doll

This is the 2nd book by Deaver about Kathryn Dance. She is a "detective/cop" who has studied body language (kinesics) and uses it to interview suspects and can always tell if someone is lying. 
Love all Deaver books, and Kathryn is his female version of Lincoln Rhyme. Don't know who Lincoln Rhyme is??
Well,  you need to get reading! But not Megan or Brittany because Lincoln solves brutal murders. Okay, Jared might not want to read them either. But Harrison has read them I think!!
