First Mountain Man by William Johnstone: It was a great book.
Deception by Jonathan Kellerman: Kellerman was not up to par on this book. Too many unneccesary words leading to nowhere. I was glad when it was over, even the ending was flat.
Down the Long Hills by Louis L'Amour: I think the book was great. The author did a very good job.
Dark Canyon by Louis L'Amour: It was a great book.
Hanging Woman Creek by Louis L'Amour: It was a great book.
The Wife's Tale by Lori Lansens: This was a very good book on a very touchy subject-being over weight. One never stops to think that there may be circumstances in a person's life that makes them find comfort in food. When the story ended I wasn't ready to let it go. It left me wanting more.
The Short Second LIfe of Bree Tanner by Stephenie Meyer: An excellent snapshot into the minds of the so-called "enemies" in the Twilight Series. The only thing I didn't like about this book was that it was too short. Now I am curious about a new character named "Fred" the author introduced.
Cast Iron Cuisine by Matt and Linda Morehouse: Excellent book. Terrific recipes. Very informational.
Notes from the dog by Gary Paulsen: This was a great book (actually for young adults). It speaks to making family.
