You won't find story synopses in my reviews. I love the art of language in story telling, often more than the story itself. I prefer fiction and do a bit of writing (doesn't every avid reader at some time think "I could do better than this?") So I've collected books on writing craft. I'm a retired RN with a BA from UCLA.

    I see your getting back to your roots and taking a mystery holiday with Dennis Lehane. A book that you might like that I gave 5 stars to is "Saving Cee Cee Honneycutt." If you can, listen to it as a book-on-tape - the reading was the best I've ever listened to.

    thanks for staying interested in what i was doing. I was not busy, just had one of those periods in life where you stay away from every thing. I kept up with my reading and my trumpet playing and that is about it. So today i came back and have been trying to list all the books i have read.
    i became, thanks to you, i think, a big Lee Childs fan and have now read all but his latest. finished my Vachss books, and they became, after 8 or so of them, a bit "the same thing over and over).
    Became an even bigger james lee burke fan. and a continued fan of John Sandford.
    i am back, so stay in touch

    What did you think of "The World I Made for Her"?

    While perusing Amazon books today I found a book by Rebecca Barry titled "Later, at the Bar: a novel in stories." That's a perfect way to also define Ohiopyle - a novel in stories.

    Personally, I'd rather write a whole novel than punish myself with the homework of reading another Motherless Brooklyn. You have exactly 264 hours before you need to read at writing group. If I were you, (and as far as writing talent, I can only wish), I'd wait for the 15th of March to start composing, so you can really work up a stress by the 18th.

    Tropper's "This is Where I Leave You" doesn't deserve max stars. Shave it by two. It's pretty light weight for you.

    Although "This is Where I Leave You," by Jnathan Tropper is good (and is also being made into a movie), his "Book of Joe" is a better book.

    Have you read Tess Gerritsen's medical thrillers? The reviews market her as a mixture of Deaver and Robin Cook. I know it's your old genre - just wondering.

    Then We Came to the End was mediocre even though it's rated so highy by reviewers.

    If you want to ease up on the intellectualism and just have a page turner in the Scott Turow/Grisham-style of story, try King of Lies by John Hart.

    It was like eating spoiled liver and having a food critic tell you it was a culinary wonder.

    You're either becoming more ecletic in your reading, or you found a new section of the library.

    Patricia Cornwell has buried herself 100 feet under with unreadable trash. I missed a book because in her newest, Scarpetti, I found out that Cornwell added a disgusting twist to the ongoing story by having had Marino sexually accost Scarpetti. Obviously PC doesn't believe in men and women being friends with one another. Her publisher has got to drop her soon and make room for 'real' writers like you.

    "When Will There Be Good News" - there's a book title after my own heart. You branched out on Kate Atkinson without even sending me a telegram. I don't keep secrets from you.

    Oh dear, Patricia got one star. I wonder if her stalker will dismiss his pursuit. At least she should be able to fire one of her six body guards.

    Your fans have been waiting for a new five-star review from Tishiejean AND we don't have to go into the part of the library with bats flying overhead. Yes indeed, I'm going to have to put down my television remote long enough to read Lush Life.
