Books I've Read

(Janitors of the Post-Apocalypse, #2). Mops and the crew head to Earth. Really an enjoyable read!

Novel about Japanese-Americans returning from the camps after the war. A mystery, a who-done-it.

Set in the near future, a boy escapes from a military/cult group that has taken over several states and is poised to defeat the government.

Eleven stories of crime and intrigue. I enjoyed meeting The Saint, Hercule Poirot, and Ellery Queen again. CONTENTS: The Day the Children Vanished / Hugh Pentecost -- Through a Dead Man's Eye / Cornell Woolrich -- The Disappearance of Mrs. Davenheim / Agatha Christie -- Green Ice / Stuart Palmer -- The Grave Grass Quivers / MacKinlay Kanton -- The Case of the Irate Witness / Erle Stanley Gardner -- Adventure of the Grice-Paterson Curse / August Derleth -- The Headmaster / Michael Gilbert -- The Adventure of the Seven Black Cats / Ellery Queen -- The Wicked Cousin / Leslie Charteris -- The Footprint in the Sky / John Dickson Carr.

Book I in the Farseer trilogy. Bastard son of a prince becomes an apprentice assassin, 'cause, what's a bastard to do? Good story, really felt the characters were real. Now I gotta find the second book!

Book three in the Fitz And The Fool trilogy. About four hundred pages in this books really starts moving along.

Book three of the Farseer trilogy. Pretty good, but nearly seven hundred pages long. What's next?

Fitz And The Fool trilogy #1. Guess I didn't read the books in between, this one takes place quite a few years after the Liveship Traders. Great characterizations!

Book two in the Fitz And The Fool trilogy sub-series-thing.

The Liveship Traders book two. It's really weird that these books make me think about events in my own life. Scary, really. At least I don't have sea serpents, pirates, and dragons to worry about. Somewhere (I THOUGHT I had marked it!) around page 254 I had a epiphany as to who a character might be. We shall see...

Book #2 in the the Farseer Trilogy. Really good, hard to see tiny paperback words. Got #3 in hardback.

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.
