Penny's mother starts a cupcake store in the small town of Hog's Hollow. Penny works there, decorating the cupcakes. She makes a few friends at middle school, but she makes a few enemies, too. I enjoyed the story very much, but the characters seem very mature for ninth graders.

Written by Frank Herbert, his son Brian, and Kevin J. Anderson, this volume of various stories, alternative versions, and the orginal version of Dune is pretty good, especially considering I was pretty tired of Dune after reading the first three books and also the serialized version of Dune, back in the day.

Lawyer Hank Sutherland prosecutes an Air Force officer accused of espionage. Pretty good.

A temporally-interlaced novel. Zack Pontowski in WWII and CMS Kamigami rescuing an American senator's daughter take turns having their stories told. Good book.

Col. Matt Pontowski and his merry band of A-10 Warthogs help out rebels in China. Some kinky sex.

Matt Pontowski goes to Israel with his F-15 and meets his future wife. Good techno-thriller, some kinky sex.

An F-4 wing trains and fights in the Middle East. Charactors include Jack Locke, Anthony "Muddy" Waters, General Cunningham. Very good story!

First read this story of a new veterinarian joining a practice in the Yorkshire Dales in 1935 many years ago, several decades ago, in fact. Still charming.

The continuing stories of a country vet. First read these back in the 80s, I guess.

Yet more stories of a country vet. This copy has only been checked out by Blevins and Takeuchi, if you can imagine.

I may have read this before, or seen it on television. Charming little stories about a vet in Yorkshire.
