Room

by Emma Donoghue
- Rated 4 stars
“ROOM isn't really a book you enjoy. You may get engrossed in it. You may be disturbed by it. You may laugh at it. But the story of a kidnapped young woman and her 5 year old boy being kept captive in a backyard shed is compelling stuff. I finished the 321 pages in two days. Non put-downable.”

Henry's Sisters

by Cathy Lamb
- Rated 4 stars
“Definitely a two or three hanky ending, but a marvelous tale of a totally dysfunctional family. I hated the characters as they were being introduced in the book, but their stories are important to the plot development. Well written, this book totally sucks you into the Bammarito family.”

You Know When the Men Are Gone

by Siobhan Fallon
- Rated 4 stars
“A must read for NON military wives. Those of us who lived in base housing and suffered deployments will be none too surprised at the stories in this compilation.”

Saving CeeCee Honeycutt

“Lovely southern story ala Fannie Flagg or Dorthea Benton Frank. Young Cecelia Honeycutt finds herself in Savannah, Georgia living with her great-aunt after her mother's untimely death. CeeCee finds friends, family and her southern roots among some real Southern Belles!”

Letters of a Woman Homesteader

by Elinore Pruitt Stewart
- Rated 3 stars
“A bit tedious in spots, based on letters written by a frontierwoman to her former employer. I like historical topics, so this was a nice read for me, but not my favorite.”

Milrose Munce and the Den of Professional Help (Extended Edition)

by Douglas Anthony Cooper
- Rated 3 stars
“Cute, Harry Potter-esque with a dark side. The premise of the story is the journey of teens who see and interact with the ghosts residing in their high school. Entertaining, with some pretty good humor, and a fun summer read.”

Strings Attached

by Nick Nolan
- Rated 2 stars
“I did not know this was a teen gay soft porn story until I downloaded it for my Kindle. I finished it because the story was fair, but beware of the content.”

Home Girl: Building a Dream House on a Lawless Block

by Judith Matloff
- Rated 4 stars
“Fun and insightful, this story chronicles a journalist's quest to finally settle down and buy a home. For reasons she never quite understands, she buys a brownstone on a drug dealer infested, dirty, lawless street in West Harlem, NY. The only white face in the neighborhood, Judith and her husband go through the trials of rehabbing an old house, as well as "breaking in" to their new environment.”

Open

by Andre Agassi
- Rated 3 stars
“While this had some interesting information and insight into tennis and Andre, the second half of the book became very repetitive. Chapter after chapter were synopsises of his matches and his "feelings." It began to wear after a bit, and truthfully, I felt he was whining. The revelation about his meth use puzzled me, because he seemed to be able to take it or leave it. This never happens with meth, which is severely addictive. ”
