  Troubleshooters: Book 6

  Gone Too Far

  by Suzanne Brockmann

  • Rated 1 stars

  Sonya S wrote:
  I will never read one of this author's stories again. So sickeningly sappy I couldn't stand it. There was very little to redeem this book. Basically a story of 4 different wanna-be couples but idiotic circumstances that were all in their heads kept them from getting together...until the end when they all lived happily ever after. Yuk.

  A Drawing Manual by Thomas Eakins (Primary Sources in American)

  by Thomas Eakins

  • Rated 4 stars

  mmolino54 wrote:
  A highly-technical drawing manual covering linear perspective, mechanical drawing, isometric drawing, reflections in water, and relief drawings. Anecdotal and historical info about Eakins himself is included and you get a real sense of how seriously he took his role as an artist and a teacher. His is an approach that relies heavily on exactness, measurement, and rigor. This is a very slender book and each section has been distilled down to what Eakins considers the essentials.

  The Round House

  by Louise Erdrich

  • Rated 4 stars

  Alice B. wrote:
  This is a wonderful book about modern life on a Native American reservation. The characters are appealing - especially Joe, the 13 year old boy who must come to terms with a horrific crime committed against his mother. The legal complications of finding justice on a reservation make the crime even more awful. I look forward to reading more of this author's work.

  Gone Girl

  by Gillian Flynn

  • Rated 4 stars

  Ellen R wrote:
  Nick Dunne is not enjoying his 5th wedding anniversary. His wife Amy disappeared from their home under mysterious circumstances. Their house shows signs of a struggle and evidence that a large amount of blood had been inadequately washed from the kitchen floor. Although nothing points definitively to Nick’s guilt, his constant half-truths and outright lies to the detectives assigned to the case are not helping his claims that he does not know what happened or where Amy might be. As Nick’s...

  It's a Sin

  by Elizabeth Woodham

  • Rated 5 stars

  ~A.R.~ wrote:
  I was SO looking forward to this book! I started the Sin series some time back. I never got to finish it though. So glad it did not happen. To read it as a whole was truly an emotional and erotic experience. I’ve read quite a few of Elizabeth’s works. I LOVE her voice! Her writing style, stories, characters and plots are like none other out there. A definite must read for any fans of the genre....
