Books I've Read

The author tells about her early life, mostly in a small town in Arkansas.

Space Opera with a little bit of everything: murder, incest, rape, wanton killing, child molestation... did I mention rape? Murder? I am SO looking forward to volume two!! Actually, it's a pretty good book, with a very uplifing love story that caused me to shed a little tear. But it IS pretty violent!

A mom (with a boob job, mentioned many times)in Lake Elsinore runs a dating service, with some detecting on the side. I kept comparing it to the Evanovich's books.

Thriller involves Anna, an art expert, with a Van Gogh and murder. And there is an Romanian ex-gymnast hitwoman, too.! Did I mention the 9/11 backdrop?

Fourteen pretty darn good little stories. Some have an art background, and some are based on true events.

Twelve short stories, each with a "red herring" to discover, none which I could figure out. But the stories are still pretty good.

Lance continues the narrative of his career, marriage, and cancer survival. Does not include the Sheryl Crow era, that is probably in the next book.

Lance tells his story of cancer and winnnig his first Tour de France. Excellent and inspirational.

Picked this orphan book off the middle school library shelf. A really rich, detailed story of poor Kentucky hill farmers. One man's obsession with foxhunting, to the detriment of his family, is central to the story. I would like to have learned how his daughter's pregnancy turned out.

Tami and Richard set sail for San Diego from Tahiti. Richard goes overboard and is lost during a hurricane, and Tami must survive, trying to sail the dis-masted boat. They made a movie of this true adventure/disaster.

Nine stories about robots linked by narration of Susan Calvin. I fear the movie...

Writing as Paul French, this is one of Asimov's juveniles. The Sirians have established a base on Titan.

Fifteen classic stories, including "The Witches Of Karres". 2005

Twelve stories from Asimov's magazine. Especially like "The Jaren".

Hugo winners for 1970-1972.

Hugo winners for 1973-1975. Some fabulous stories here.

Some mighty good short little mysteries in this volume.

A Spencer book written by another author after Parker's death. A young girl hires Spencer (for a box of donuts!) to look into the murder of her mother.

A Jackson Brodie book. Engaging story, full of the usual twists and turns. Honestly, I get to the end and I STILL don't know what is what. Silver BMW, some girl named Darcy, and the title - what does the title mean?

I like this book very much. There is a lot of sly humor, and some very sad parts. A good mixture. Let me just say I have never thought much of the idea of retiring in another country, though. Everyone in books seems to want to go live in France, or Costa Rica, or Alaska, for cryin' out loud. I am not one of them. Maybe it's the airplane thing, I don't know. I like how the story may be continued a bit in another book, I'll have to get them and see.
