Books I've Read

Traces series #2. Luke is in London investigating the murder of doctor. Another rattlesnake!!

Traces # 3. Someone is killing Emily Wonders.

Andy Carpenter, #2.
Lawyer defends his girlfriend who is charging with murdering a cop.
I was expecting more dog in the story, but it was OK.

Daisy goes to England to get away from her pregnant stepmother and ends up in a war/occupation. Really good story, a Printz award winner. A bit YA.

Annie goes to the Catholic hospital where her father is a doctor after World War I and meets wounded veterans who challenge her outlook on life. VERY excellent, very weepy second half. When she goes for her first motorcycle ride with her uncle, that brought back memories. It IS like flying!

The Kingkiller Chronicle, #1. Pretty darn good! Kvothe tells the story of his origins.

The Kingkiller Chronicle, #2.6, this is labeled. A Fae lad (150 years old, I think) lives in a human villages, trading with the children for secrets and favors, and apparently being tutored by a guy at the Inn. I enjoyed it very much.

The Kingkiller Chronicle, #2.5.
A charming tale about Auri, who lives in the Underthing. I am so glad I got to read this story, the author states that he wasn't going to publish it as he thought no one would read it.
I love the eight pages of soap making!!

Second book in the series. Harry's low opinion of diaries is reinforced.

After much strife and violence, the series ends up nicely.

Harry competes in the Triwizard Tournament.

My, how Harry has brown up over the years! Now he is a hormonal teen!

Harry's fifth year at Hogwarts goes awry.

The third book was very enjoyable, I must say.

Boy goes to wizard school. Didn't appeal to me. Too cutesy. I recommend So You Want To Be A Wizard by Diane Duane, A Wizard Of Earthsea by Ursula Le Guin, The Dark Is Rising by Susan Cooper and even The Winter Of Magic's Return by Pamela Service. Read it again in 2012, it seems to have improved a bit. Now I'm reading book two! Interesting that Nicholas Flamel is in there!

A couple move to a new place so their kindergarten werewolf daughter can fit in. Well, stuff happens.

After escaping the tentacled bounty hunter Kenneth, Cole ends up being the reluctant sheriff of a village beset, or soon-to-be, by outlaws. Bad Men. Some pretty funny stuff.

Thriller takes place in Portland, Oregon. Rock star woman is blackmailed and threatened and drinks WAY too much.

This one is several books into the Queen & Country series, of which I have not read but one, this one. Spy thriller, starring Tara Chase. Lots of action!

Sorry, Salmon, I love to listen to you on the radio but I just could not get past the first chapter. Gave up 2/2002.
