Blood Red Horse by K.M. Grant (audio) 10/25/2007

This was a pretty good story overall.  I found myself a few times getting annoyed because it was the 1100s and women weren’t treated well, so the business with Ellie was maddening.  Other than that, it was a good story.  I really liked how Hosana brought together one Muslim boy and one Christian and showed [...]

Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult 10/16/07 (audio)

This was a great story.
Oddly, I found myself identifying more with the “villian” in the story than the “good guys.”
Peter Houghton is a high school junior who has had it with being bullied and goes to school one day and shoots ten of his classmates and a teacher.  The story explores how it happened, what [...]

Definitely Dead by Charlaine Harris 10/17/08

This book was odd in that there were things that were referenced as if they’d happened in antoher book but I’ve read all of them and there was nothing.  So, that was weird.
In any event, Sookie’s cousin Hadley dies and Sookie is her heir.  Hadley, as it turns out was a vampire.  Sookie goes to [...]

Dead as a Doornail by Charlaine Harris 10/17/07

See, today I stayed home from work for various reasons.  I read a lot.  I didn’t even go to my dad’s because I just didn’t feel like it.
On to the book.
In this one, Sookie’s brother winds up a were-panther.  Once again someone is trying to kill her and Sookie has two new men interested in [...]

Dead to the World by Charlaine Harris 10/16/07

I *really* love Sookie Stackhouse. 
Eric is cursed by a witch and can’t remember who he is.  Sookie finds him and takes him in.  She also has a lovely relationship with him because Eric doesn’t remember to be a jerk.   As always, there is a lot going on and Sookie winds up killing someone, which freaks [...]

Boy Meets Girl – Meg Cabot 10/12/07

This book was silly.  It was written entirely in emails, IMs and the odd journal entry or two.  Complete fluff.    Yet … entertaining.  I think it’s fun and vaguely voyeuristic.

You Suck by Christopher Moore 10/14/07

The follow up to Bloodsucking Fiends. While BF was a better story, this book was just as funny.  I can’t even give you examples, since I’m not at home writing this, but it’s very funny.  As is all Christopher Moore, thus far.

The Uglies by Scott Westerfield 10/14/07

Okay, so how to describe this book.
Tally Youngblood is an Ugly.  Her friend Peris is now a Pretty and in 3 months, Tally will become a Pretty as well.
In Tally’s society, people go through a few stages:  the Littlies, who are the very small children who still live with their parents; the Uglies, who are [...]

Coming Out by Danielle Steel 10/13/07

I’m not really a Danielle Steel fan but this book had *promise.*   Here’s the storyline:  a WASPy woman marries a WASPy man and has three children – a son and twin daughters.  They subsequently divorce.  WASPy woman marries Jewish man and converts. WASPy man is horrified since he’s a ” blue blood” and lives his [...]

Still More Diane Mott Davidson 10/11/07

Tough Cookie – So, let’s see … Goldy does a PBS cooking show and winds up in big, fat trouble as always.
Sticks & Scones.  Okay, this was probably the best, thus far.
