Books I've Read

Last book of the mini-series, now I gotta read the next two series, possibly of three books each. Sure hope the library has them!

Book one in the Liveship Traders trilogy. Pretty good, a bit more "racy" than the previous three books I read.

An Australian Shepard pup gets sold to a pet store, gets bounced around in life until he find his "sheep". A CYRM winner.

Victor and Rico cross the border from Mexico to the United States seeking work. A very realistic adventure, showing the many dangers the illegal immigrants face.

Non fiction story of "greed, terror, and heroism in colonial Africa".

Danish mystery story. Pretty good, a little wordy. Says it was made into a movie.

A natural history story of a snapping turtle's journey from the headwaters of the Mississippi River to the Gulf Of Mexico, profusely ilustrated by the author.

With Matthew Holm. Sunny's family cancels their fabulous summer plans and send her to stay with her grandfather in Florida. A graphic novel. Pretty good!

Turtle, an eleven-year-old girl, is sent by her mother to stay with her aunt who lives in Key West. Takes place in 1935, so everyone is poor. Except for the people her mother is a housekeeper for. Good story, no magical ending, though.

Teen boy Aremis Slake runs away from his awful life to live in the New York subway. Pretty good book!

Bo's dad is commander of an Air Force Base. His new sixth-grade teacher teaches the class improv. His cousin Gari comes to live with them when her mother is sent to the middle east. Good story. How come whenever there is a kid who dad is in the military, dad is the commander of the base?

Stories by authors such as Simak, Yolen, Le Guin, and even Robert Louis Stevenson.

Toby and Cal visit "The Fattest Boy In The World" when he is stuck in their small Texas town.

Before Rosa Parks, there was Claudette Colvin, a teen in Montgomery, Alabama, who wouldn't give up her bus seat to a white person.

Non-fiction about the resistance in Denmark during WWII against the German occupation.

A Project Gutenberg e-book, a group of Campfire Girls go on a camping trip. Mysterious things happen. Horses are ridden. Fires are put out. Radio stuff comes into play. VERY flowery language, but then it's a from 1923.

Guy goes on a sea cruise, is only survivor of the fire/sinking, then things get weird.

I rather like these stories of Raffles the gentleman thief. Of course I started with the last book first!

I believe this is book two of the series. I read the Project Gutenberg EBook edition. Good crime stories, lots of words to look up!

More Raffles stories, this is the first book.
