Books I've Read

And whisper it does, in this the second book in the Lockwood & Co. series. Look into the mirror, you know you want to!

I really enjoyed reading this book about Olive and the people in her town in Maine. Lots to think about.

Not that it will do my writing much good, but I did read the book, and rather interesting it was, to say the least, as it were.

It is kind of hard to describe. Five (or maybe six) diverse people (except two are twins) form a sort of super-human. Better than it might sound. It's pretty much a classic.

Sherry gets sent off to San Diego while her father goes on his honeymoon, which works out well because her ghost mother needs her help to solve the mystery of who wants to kill a rhino at the Wild Animal Park. Certainly written for middle school girls, I wanted to quit at page fourteen, but I FORCED myself to finish it. Big raves on Amazon, though. I think the author must live in the San Diego area as there is a lot of local details in the book, and a lot of local details on her website.

Biographical account of Booth shooting Lincoln and his escape, and capture. Learned a few things. Lots of pictures. The image Of Powell is riveting.

A murder mystery taking place during the Revolutionary War. Language a bit stilted, lovely flirting, decent mystery. Would read another! EDIT: I found out, sadly, that the author died in 2009.

A girl who grew up motherless on an island in Maine is sent to New York by her father to do data entry in the library he created.

Not the kind of story I would usually read, there not being any spaceships involved, but I liked it enough to finish.

The author is also mildly well known for having a baby in a taxi in Times Square. That is, giving birth in a taxi. In Times Square. New York City.

"Mystery Stories Based on Real Cases Solved By Government Agents". Good stories, a small amount of "negro" dialog that I found...embarrassing. Except for that tiny bit I enjoyed reading this old-timey book a lot. I read the Project Gutenberg e-book version.
