Books I've Read

I learned why Pepper is name that (probably), but not sure about Blue. Maybe in the next book? Really good!

Monk & Robot, #2. They visit several towns and villages, including Dex's family home.

Monk and Robot, #1. I enjoyed this VERY much, and am already reading #2.

Third and maybe last book in the Wayfarer series. Really good!!

Final volume of the Wayfarer series. God Damn best book I've read in a long time! Not much space ship stuff, and only one human pops in near the end, but this is a story full of love. Which is something I'm not usually comfortable reading about. But I loved this!

The adventures of the good ship Wayfarer and her crew. There is some funny stuff here, but every so often there is some seriously thought provoking stuff to think about. I am enjoying the series very much. This book is the first in a series of which the third book is a Hugo nominee for 2019.

Several astronauts exploring planets in various systems. I have not quite finished it, six pages to go, but I thought I better get it in the log, as it were.

Philip Marlowe, #1. The private detective get hired by some rich guy to deal with a blackmail attempt. Of course, things get complicated.

Some cute little woman/girl from Kansas or Oklahoma or somewhere out there comes into Marlowe's office and asks him to find her brother who isn't sending any more letters home.

Marlowe meets some guy who eventually dies, or doesn't, and another guy who definitely dies. And some women, two of who die, and one who doesn't. Somewhat confusing, couldn't keep the women straight. I think two of them were sisters. Not sure. Good read!

Excellent story, I liked it very much. A fictional biography, a woman librarian goes to France during WWI to start a library.

Really good story of the American Library in Paris during World War II intertwined with events in the life of a girl growing up in small town Montana during the 1980s. I enjoyed it very much.

Alicia is a, well, a hooker, in Havana who uses a bicycle with a trick broken pedal to entice gentlemen into helping her. Pretty good story, a little too much sex details in some parts.

A high school freshman recounts the school year in a series of letters he addresses to someone who doesn't know him. I liked the first two-thirds very much (some weeping), the last third somewhat less. Maybe I was trying to read too much in one day. Much requested in by middle school students, and is in the collection of eight of our middle schools, but I am thinking to send this copy off to the high school.

Ronnie and her ADHD brother Gee go on a trip around Kansas with their estranged grandfather in his RV. Very enjoyable. Has a map!
