What You're Reading

Some of the book reviews submitted last week:

Randall M. (Downtown) Sex Money Kiss by Gene Simmons (Library owns print version) "He has a very insightful look on life. Whether he believes it or not, he is a great philosopher. Some day, future generations will study his philosophies in school. This is a great read...or in my case a great listen!"

Laurie G. (Sunset) When the Husband is the Suspect by F. Lee Bailey - "Fascinating to read all the details of different cases! I like to watch Court TV and this gave more details about some of the cases."

Tammy P. (Hamilton) Ritual of Proof by Dara Joy - "A fun and completely consuming page turner. A regency romance, but set in an alternate world where the women are the ruling class. Dara does a fascinating job of turning the age old story into a new adventure. Really a great, fun read I would highly recommend."

Collene K (Downtown) Sorcery and Cecelia, or, The enchanted chocolate pot : being the correspondence of two young ladies of quality regarding various magical scandals in London and the country by Patricia C. Wrede - "This book was fast paced, but light and entertaining. A fun diversion! The concept was also interesting - each of the authors created a character for herself, then they wrote letters to each other as if they were written by their characters. The end result was a fantastic story!"

Tonya W. (Downtown) Women's Intuition, by Lisa Samson - "The main character, Lark, of this book is a recluse. Her daughter is away at college, she hasn't spoken to her brother in years, her father is dead & her mother is a barely tolerable socialite. Her mother's housekeeper is the family confidante. When Lark's home burns down & she doesn't have any insurance she is forced to move back home. Lark plays piano at the local church & operates a praying hotline from home. I think the moral of the story is "when one door closes another one opens but it's H*ll in the hallway.""
