Books I've Read

A young girl, Foster, and her mother left a abusive relationship with an Elvis impersonator and settle in a small town in West Virginia. Foster is a talented baker, so there are lots of cooking related things going on, especially with cupcakes. I really enjoyed reading this story. Read the Advance Uncorrected Proof edition.

Dorothy ends up in Oz yet again, the means not being revealed until a long way into the book, and meets up with a lot of old friends. OK story, I guess.

Dorothy goes on a trip. Read again!

A dragon exterminator doesn't like killing dragons. There is a Princess and a Prince involved too. Fun story!

A unicorn goes on a a quest to find where all the other unicorns went. Very nice, some magical and some rather odd phrasing. I was in tears by page six. And I learned that "miracle" is the root word of "mirror".

White Space book 1. Haimy Dz is a partner on a space salvage tug. Good story!

White Space, #2. I enjoyed this story of space-going EMTs/Doctors very much, except for some of the parts where the characters are thinking.

A wonderful book. Gave me the same feeling as Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke.

A big story, full of cats and books and mysterious peoples doing mysterious stuff. And you gotta love a book that starts out with a Firesign Theatre quote!

I found this sequel a real page-turner. I always forget to check for a glossory, and there it is at the end!

Made my head hurt, all that biology! Very interesting story, reminded a little of Childhood's End by Clarke.

Teenage Peter travels to the "Lost World" of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle with a expedition to return Circus dinosaurs to their natural habitat.

Part of a trilogy based on the books by Isaac Asimov. Pretty good!

War Dogs #2. Master Sergeant Venn is back on Mars. For a while, then on to Titan!

Techno-thriller. FBI agents search for bio-terrorists.

War Dogs, #3. I was very confused for maybe three-quarters of the story, but the last quarter was pretty readable and good for me.

Scientist searches for life extension, uncovers big plot. Pretty good. Explains all those hang up phone calls we get, too.

War Dogs #1. Intriguing story of space marines sent to battle alien invaders on Mars. At least, that is the story told by the alien "benefactors" on Earth...

Agatha rents a cottage in Fryfam and sees fairy lights in her garden. Of course someone dies. EDIT AUTHORS NAME

A missing cat, a lonely girl, and stolen Christmas lights make Hamish Macbeth's holiday. .
