Terminal Freeze by Lincoln Child. This was a fast read. I found it hard to put down. The plot was well written with a lot of twists and turns. The ending was surprising and thought provoking.

The Laws of Money & The Lessons of Life by Suze Orman. Good straight forward approach. Lots of reminder lessons and ideas for dealing with money in these economic times.

Super in the City by Daphne Uviller. A funny, bright, sexy read. I didn't think I would like this one as I don't usually agree with critics who rave how good a book is, but I was wrong. Only regret that it's a short book at 292 pages. I will definitely check out other writings by this author.

The Final Planet by Andrew M. Greeley. I prefer his "Blackie" mysteries and the Nuala Anne series.

The Glass Lake by Maeve Binchy. Binchy brings her characters to life. You become so immersed in their lives, its hard to put the book down, although its a small town in Ireland without much drama.

Curiosity Killed the Cat Sitter by Blaize Clement. Quick, fun read combining mystery with facts about pets.

Boundaries by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend. "Is your life out of control? Do people take advantage of you? Do you have trouble saying no?" Having clear boundaries is essential to a healthy, balanced lifestyle. A boundary is a personal property line that marks those things for which we are responsible. This book explains, in detail, how physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual boundaries can be set up and maintained. I wish I'd read this book when it was first published in 1992.

Winter Rose by Patricia McKillip. A retelling of Tam Lin.

Spindle's End by Robin McKinley. A wonderful retelling of Sleeping Beauty.

The Watsons by Jane Austen and Joan Aitken. As with most posthumous publications, it just isn't Austen.

Handle with Care by Jodi Picoult. The basic premise of the impact of brittle bone disease and its impact on a family was well done. By the end of the story with yet another social/ethical issue thrown in I found myself saying "enough." Speaks well of the author's ability to tell a story that keeps you wondering where this tale will lead. Evidence of research before writing. However, enough Jodi Picoult for me for a while.

A Thread of Truth by Marie Bartwick. A tale blending domestic abuse issues, breast cancer, quilting and the bonds of friendship. Pleasant reading, but unfortunately poor editing with many instances of incorrect words, missing words and words in the wrong order.

Trust No One by Gregg Hurwitz. Good book, easy read. Had some twists and turns that were unexpected.

Sweet Wells by Elizabeth Gill. Ugh - Just wanted to get through the book. Boring, plus I think the author needs to go back and read the descriptions of her characters (one she describes as trustworthy, together helpful and courteous was very, very mean).
