Can You Keep a Secret? by Sophie Kinsella (audio) ~ 1/9/09

Let’s say you have a disastrous meeting – and your company loses a major client.  Let’s say that it’s your first solo meeting of your career.  Then, on the way home, you are seated next to a handsome man (and you happen to be heterosexual).  Now imagine that your plane hits turbulence and, being scared [...]

The Devil in the Junior League by Linda Francis Lee 12/7/08

I started this book on audio but my truck’s CD player kept telling me it was a bad CD, so eventually I got sick of it and just picked up the book.
So, The Fabulous Frede Were is annoying at first.  Still, surprisingly interesting.  Generally speaking, self-absorbed, oh-so-proper, Junior League of Willow Creek sorts are not [...]

The Outlaw Demon Wails by Kim Harrison (audio) 9/22/08

I read the first two of this series and thought I wouldn’t read the rest.  Then, I got one on CD and I’m so glad I did.  I’ve read all of them now and this was among the best.
Again, it’s a complicated plotline but the essence is that Rachel agrees to go to the Everafter [...]

For a Few Demons More by Kim Harrison (audio) 09/07/08

The thing with these books is that there is so much going on, I can’t keep track of it later.   At least, what happened in what book.
In this one, all I can remember is that Kiston dies and so does Piscary.  Oh, yeah.  This is the one where the reader screws up alot.  She said [...]

The Double Bind by Chris Bohjalian (audio) 08/16/08

Yes, I’m aware that this is out of order.  I realized that I didn’t write the last 2 audio books.  This one and the next.
This book was weird.  It’s about this woman who is attacked brutally. She then gets a job as a social worker and meets a homeless man who has some photographs that [...]

Every Which Way but Dead by Kim Harrison -7/14/08 (audio)

I read two of this series and decided not to read any more but then saw this at the library and thought, “Why not?”  I’m glad I did.  It wasn’t that I didn’t like the series, it was that I just didn’t care that much about the characters. Harrison just needed to get her stride, [...]

March by Geraldine Brooks 05/08/08 (audio)

I loved Little Women when I was a child. I think I read it about 10 times. This book is another side to that story. Why were the Marches so poor? Was Marmee really that saintly? What was their father doing during the story? We know he was gone to [...]

Full House by Janet Evanovich (audio) 12/5/07

This book was light, somewhat silly and highly implausible.  Still, it was entertaining.  That’s about the best I can say for it.  Funny in spots, but not as funny as Stephanie Plum.  Overall just okay.

The Cat Who Had 60 Whiskers by Lillian Jackson Braun (audio) 11/05/07

I asked my sister to get me a book on CD from the library while she was there but I didn’t give her any instructions as to what. This is what I got. My sister loves these books – so much so that she named her cats Coco and Yum Yum. Me? [...]

Bubbles Betrothed by Sarah Strohmeyer (audio) 11/01/07

I can’t help but like these books.   Bubbles is so funny and so unpretentious.  You gotta like that in a girl.
 So, let’s see.  What’s this about:  Someone kills the high school principal and Bubbles gets involved, as usual.  This time it’s because the accused murderer is killed while she and Bubbles are in jail together.  [...]
