  • Waiter Rant: Thanks for the Tip--Confessions of a Cynical Waiter
    • Rated 3 stars

    Interesting & insightful.....

    He was especially clear about his own foibles, which tend to mirror my own.

  • The Perfect Royal Mistress: A Novel
    • Rated 4 stars

    Fascinating......I had a difficult time putting this down.

    Very well written and evocative of an era where courtesans ruled.

  • The Art of Happiness: A Handbook for Living
    • Rated 3 stars

    Well here's the thing.....most of the book is written by Howard C. Cutler M.D., with quotes & excerpts of conversations with his wonderful Holiness Dalai Lama.

    So then, Howard's conjectures on the human mind, consciousness & happiness are from a clinical point of view and the "heart" of the matter does not come through as much as other books from his Wonderful Holiness.

  • LOEG Black Dossier (League of Extraordinary Gentlemen)
    • Rated 2 stars

    I can not rate this....but for sure it wasn't my taste. I read this because 2 librarians in KY stole it from their library so that an 11-year old girl (and others) couldn't read it, as they deemed it "vulgar".

    Well it can be [vulgar]...there are illustrated pages from "Fanny Hill" in it... it's a spy story, it is violent, there in full frontal female nudity...it's a comic book.

    I'll tell you, I'd not ban it from the library, but I wouldn't allow my child (if I had one) to read this.

  • The Widow's Revenge (Charlie Moon Mysteries)
    • Rated 3 stars

    No matter the plot I am weary of James Doss's arrogant smugness in regards to his clever writing style.....his attitude reeks through his writing, and alas that just gets onmyverylastnerve! That being said...................

    This book is filled with gratuitous violence....that I found to be very disturbing and ugly. There is a group of "brujos" called the "Family" that go on vacation and scheme their next major crime spree down to the minute detail....

    Of course the pitukuph comes to Aunt Daisy to let her know he knows something she doesn't while insisting on a trade for his information (she has a basket of delectable jams & goodies for Charlie)...and Aunt daisy being herself has Sarah deal with the "Little Man"

    Then the ghost of the woman that the Little Man was telling Aunt Daisy about appears to Charlie....and Charlie in turn deciphers her ramblings to stop a robbery/murder that involves the "Family"

    Scott Parris is having the strangest dreams, featuring himself....

    Agent Lila McTeague is back and on the "Family's" case.......

  • Bubba's Ghost; A Sandi Weber Mstery
    • Rated 1 stars

    Although this had a wonderful wolf/golden retriever, "Bubba" and was set next door to my home town (Covina, CA)...it was boring and very poorly written.

  • High on Arrival
    • Rated 2 stars

    Well....this is the daughter of "Papa" John Phillips founder of the Mamas & Papas.......and this book backs up my beliefs that it is up to the parents how their children turn out. At 10 years old he had Laura rolling his joints....and from there it was one step to her stealing his drugs and becoming an addict.

    Her mother had little or no say so, especially after she married for a second time Lenny (who would beat the hell out of her)...thus prompting Laura to move in with John & his current wife.....

    What a wasted (no pun intended) life.

    This is the first in the series....amazingly beautiful, heart wrenching, lyrical & haunting.

  • A Touch of Dead
    • Rated 4 stars

    This book is a compilation of five (very) short stories...one of which I had read in the "Many Bloody Returns" anthology. I liked the stories, they were not overly violent and some even had a "Happy Ending".

    The stories are:
    "Fairy Dust" Featuring Claude & Claudine & the murder of their triplet Claudette.

    "Dracula Night" Count Dracula has made an appearance at the celebration of his birthday and demands Sookie as his dinner.

    "Word Answer" We learn about the murder/death of Sookie's cousin Hadley, the whys of it, and the resolution of the crime.

    "Lucky" Sookie & Amanda investigate the break in of a local insurance office and discover that "luck" has run out
    My favorite "Giftwrap"finds Sookie alone on Christmas eve...out on a walk she stumbles upon an injured Were whom she brings home and cares for.
