Date: May 9, 2005 - January 29, 2008—   $16.47—   Book

An average of three and a half stars. (of a possible four, of course)

They’re fun books, and I like the way she’s moving from one of her pseudonyms to her main name (Amanda Quick is historical so you know those books will be past stories).

The fourth book in this series, The Third Circle by Amanda Quick hit the shelves a few weeks ago.  I have, of course, already reserved it at the library

Legacy

Jayne Ann Krentz

Date: August 2001—   $6.99 —   Books

Two Stars. (of a possible four, of course)

I found the relationship between Honor and Conn too hard to believe.

Add to that the convenient villain and I wasn’t quite taken with this book.

  Truth or Dare

Jayne Ann Krentz

Date: December 2003—   $6.99 —   Books

Two and a quarter stars. (of a possible four, of course)

There were so many characters in this book that you lose track of all the story lines.  Plus, was there a book with Zoe before this one?  If not, there are way too many allusions to past events that aren’t fully explained.

============================================================================================================

Remembrance

Jude Deveraux

Date: October 1, 1997—   $7.99 —   Books

Two and a half stars. (of a possible four, of course)

There was so much jumping around in this book I found it sometimes hard to get which character I was reading about straight in my head.  All in all though it was a lovely book.

Oh, and I couldn’t imagine marrying and being intimate with a man that had been raised with me like a brother…

Eye of the Beholder

Jayne Ann Krentz

Date: December 1, 1999—   $6.99 —   Books

Two and three quarter. (of a possible four, of course)

You know, this book is strikingly similar to the Legacy book I reviewed above!!!  This one, however, se

Our families have bad blood… I the man have come back to settle the score and fallen in love with you, the woman of the man I’ve blamed for my father’s death… but wait, what’s this, another is to blame!?

He took two hard courses this semester and got an A and a A-!!!!

I’m so proud of you baby!

Since the first site I posted regarding tracking the books you’ve read on line had a limit, I’m trying this one that our friend Melissa found for me… Thanks MEL!

Shadow Music

Julie Garwood

Date: December 26, 2007—   $17.66 —   Book

Two and a quarter. (of a possible four, of course)

Shallow characters and rather predictable.

===========================================================================================================

Carrot Cake Murder, Sugar Cookie Murder, Blueberry Muffin Murder, Peach Cobbler Murder, Cherry Cheesecake Murder, Lemon Meringue Murder, Key Lime Pie Murder…

Joanne Fluke

Date: February 2001 - March 2008 —   $6.99 —   Books

Her Web Site

Three and a half to Four Stars. (of a possible four, of course)

Reading them all back to back (and out of order) has meant that they’re predictable but they’re too fun not to fall in love with.

I <3 Moishe.

There are a bunch more books I’ve read these past few weeks and not reviewed… don’t worry I kept a list of them all.

I rediscovered the joys of my library card… so bare with me I’ve been doing a lot of readings (just look at all those Hannah Swensen novels!) and I’ve got a lot of catching up to do!

Its a Mulder and Scully type of day!
