Thursday Thirteen ~ Books

Thirteen Books I read April 1st to June 1st, 2008 Change of Heart by Jodi Picoult - This was a book that required a lot of thinking. (Tags: Death Penalty, Organ Donation, Gnostic Gospel) Sword Song (The Battle for London) by Bernard Cornwell - Cornwell delivers his usual enjoyable historical fiction. Tons of action and adventure. Phatom Prey by John Sandford - his usual fast paced thriller. I tumbled to the killer half way through the book, but it was still a good read. The Darkest Evening of the Year by Dean Koontz - Talk about the exes from hell. The Bear in the Attic by Patrick F. McManus - Hilariously funny! Brother Odd - I find Odd Thomas touchingly funny. In the latest sequel Odd is saving "special needs' children from the creation of a mad scientist. His weapons a wry sense of humor, messages from Stormy from the grave and a NSA agent who bakes cakes. Quicksand by Iris Johansen - some of my favourite characters are in the book. Montalvo and Miguel are in Atlanta to help Eve track down her daughters killer. Megan Blair plays a starring role and we can hope Miguel will receive some 'help' with his hands. He re-injured them playing hero. And Joe will receive an unexpected but hopefully not unwelcome 'gift'. Compulsion by Jonathan Kellerman - kept me guessing even though Milo meet the killer in Chapter Three. Irish Rebel by Nora Roberts ~ Hot steamy romance. City of Night by Dean Koontz ~ I can't wait for book 3. The Poe Shadow by Matthew Pearl ~ I just couldn't get into this book. Made it to chapter 5 before BOREDOME got the better of me and I tossed it. Lawless by Nora Roberts ~ A western and a hot steamy romance in one book. A Wizard in Mind by Christopher Stasheff ~ enjoyable read, suitable for teens.
