The Alchemist

by Paulo Coelho
- Rated 4 stars
“With all the hype I'm a little disappointed I didn't like it more. Interesting enough story line, but it didn't make a huge impact on me.”

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas

by John Boyne
- Rated 4 stars
“I've had this on my list to read for a while. I saw that a movie version was coming out and I decided to read it before I saw the movie. It's a very sad book. I would recommend it, though, and I'm planning on seeing the movie soon!”

Patron Saint of Liars

by Ann Patchett
- Rated 4 stars
“I know most people read Bel Canto first, but for some reason the subject matter of this novel seemed more interesting to me. I really enjoyed the characters but the ending was lacking quite a bit. ”

Gin and Daggers

by Jessica Fletcher, Donald Bain
- Rated 3 stars
“This is the first of the Murder, She Wrote books. It's a great start to the series. Good plot, good characters, and very much like the t.v. show.”

The Golden Compass

by Philip Pullman
- Rated 5 stars
“I really enjoyed this one! So much so that I went out and bought a box set of His Dark Materials. I can't wait to see what Lyra goes through next in The Subtle Knife.”

Martinis and Mayhem

by Jessica Fletcher, Donald Bain
- Rated 3 stars
“A quick, easy read. I grew up watching Murder, She Wrote with my mother and still enjoy catching reruns of it. I'm looking forward to reading the other books whenever I need a light read.”

The Shadow of the Wind

by Carlos Ruiz Zafón
- Rated 5 stars
“I picked this up by chance while perusing through the library shelves. It's such a wonderful story and it's written beautifully! It's a coming of age story, romance, murder mystery, and historical fiction all rolled into one.”

Water for Elephants

by Sara Gruen
- Rated 5 stars
“The August book for the Ravelry Book Group. I'm so glad they chose it because I don't know if I would've gotten around to reading it otherwise. I read it in a day, and couldn't put it down after the second half!”

Knit One, Kill Two

by Maggie Sefton
- Rated 2 stars
“I was so excited that this was about a woman learning about yarn and knitting!! The plot was really lacking, though, and there were a ton of editing errors. I'll probably read the others in this series, as well.”

The Mournful Teddy

by John J. Lamb
- Rated 2 stars
“Pretty cute story about an ex cop with a teddy bear maker for a wife. Murder and stuffed animals only made it so interesting. The rest of the story kind of failed. I will read the others in the series, though, I'm sure.”
