The Winding Ways Quilt by Jennifer Chiaverini 03/27/08

Yes, I read two books by the same author, in the same series, on the same day.  You’d think I’d get them confused, but I didn’t.
This book picks up essentially where Circle of Quilters leaves off.  The new teachers are coming, the old teachers are leaving.  Summer is going to grad school and Judy got [...]

The New Year’s Quilt by Jennifer Chiaverini 03/27/08

In this book, Sylvia and Andrew are having a honeymoon in New York City and then going to tell Andrew’s daughter, Amy, that they got married over Christmas.  It’s problematic because Amy doesn’t approve of the marriage.
As with many of Chiaverini’s books, the present is woven with the past.  In this, the reader gets another [...]

Dimestore Magic by Kelley Armstrong 03/26/08

Book 3. 
In this book, we revisit Paige and Savannah from Stolen, as well as Leah.  Paige is a witch who is, at a very young age, Coven Leader because her mother died.  Savannah is a very powerful witch whose birth father, a sorcerer, is trying to get her from Paige, for some reason.
It’s hard for [...]

Stolen by Kelley Armstrong 03/285/08

Book 2. 
I’ve decided that I *really* like this series.  This was so well-written.  Essentially, Someone is capturing supernaturals to study them for some reason.  Elena – the werefwolf from Bitten – is captured.  The story revolves around her experiences and then her attempt to escape and what happens next.
We also meet the main characters of [...]

Shakespeare’s Counselor by Charlaine Harris 03/24/08

Here’s another of the Lily Bard series.
As I think I said about the last one, I enjoy these books when I need something light.  I had a migraine and, as it wound down, I wanted to read but I didn’t want to have to think too hard.  This was perfect.
I think Charlaine Harris is getting [...]

Shakespeare’s Trollop by Charlaine Harris 03/23/08

This is the 3rd of 4th of a series by Charlaine Harris, who writes the Southern Vampire books that I like.
Lily Bard lives in Shakespeare, AR and seems to always come across dead people.  In this case, it’s the “Town Trollop” of the title.  Lily gets drawn into the drama unfolding around the death and [...]

High Maintenace by Jennifer Belle 03/22/08

I’d read this before but I forgot until I was partway through it, so I just finished it for the second time.
It was still not that great.  I mean, it was okay, but not great. That’s really all I have to say about it.

The Cipher by Diane Pharaoh Francis – 03/11/2008

It took me a couple of tries to get into this book.  I’m like that sometimes.   
The main character, Lucy Trenton, has the ability to sense magic.  (Or as they call it “magick.”)  She gets herself into a great deal of trouble by following her sense toward something that would cause her more trouble than [...]

Eats, Shoots & Leaves by Lynne Truss 3/18/08

While I am a Grammar Girl as well as a Glamour Girl, I never thought a book entirely about punctuation would be funny.
It is.
I can not give you examples since I do not have the book with me but trust me.  It’s funny.  For example, she can not imagine how on Earth someone could [...]

Question Behind the Question by John G. Miller

I read this book a couple of weeks ago but it was good.   It’s all about personal responsibility. I can’t remember the details.  You should read it, though.
