For: The four agreements : a practical guide to persona...

Indeed, Life Changing

I actually gave my only copy to a friend and now I am checking it out and making my daughter read it. Although the rules are nothing new, they are things that we tend to forget because we get caught up in the "daily life" that slowly kills us and our dreams. This book reminds me that I can only control myself and no one else; however, if I allow it, I can give up my own power to someone else (even scarier to think a complete stranger). I highly recommend it! You will have nothing to lose but all [XBR] those negative thoughts and agreements that have cluttered your life!

Lethal

Sandra Brown deserves her award of Thriller Master Writer of the year as she really writes great thrillers! Lethal is one of those books that is hard to put down and well worth reading. Would be a great book to read when cuddled up on a cold winter day!

WARM PEBBLES

This is classic and typical Nora Roberts. I love Nora Roberts, but her plots are easily cookie cutter. Girl has troubled past, girl meets guy who is involved in law enforcement, gy and girl fight it but wind up in love and catch the bad guy. I always learn something when I read Nora Roberts because she does an excellent job of researching her characters. So, if you like typical, this is the book for you.

For: HEARTWOOD

HEARTWOOD. BY BELVA PLAIN.

I loved the book very much: it's a beautifully written saga of a three generations of a family where people married young and later found their true love and passion...and how each of them chose to live after. I couldn't put it down; I have enjoyed it so much. Characters are woven so alive and true to themselves and one secret is wanting to burst out...but has to wait out for the right moment to be revealed. It's a gem to read.

For: Crown of Renewal

Crown of Renewal

Having read most of Moon's military/space opera work("Serrano Legacy", "Vatta's War"), which I thoroughly enjoyed, I went looking for other work by her. I found, and read, "The Deeds of Paksenarrion", an excellent fantasy trilogy. When "Oath of Fealty", the first book of the "Paladin's Legacy" series, came out, I was eager to get back into Paks' world. The series turned into five volumes, of which this is the last, and wraps up the epic fantasy very well. Moon has a wonderful writing style, easy to read despite twists and turns of plot. The words just seem to flow from her, in a pace that can go up and down, depending on the action. Her characters are fully-formed, and fleshed out, just like people in our world. I highly recommend this series, and Moon's entire oeuvre.

Auspicious Beginning

My cousin recommended this book(and series) to me, and it took me a while to get my hands on volume one. It's a murder mystery series, where the main character suffers from what's now called PTSD. It's set in post-WWI England, and the main character is a Scotland Yard inspector, who before the war, was one of their better homicide detectives. He's been treated, and released medically, and given his job back, but has a supervisor who is aware of his condition, and doesn't like him. He's shunted off to this case, outside of London, where one war hero may have murdered another. It's a very politically sensitive case, where even the palace is interested in the results, and the supervisor hopes that Inspector Rutledge screws it up, so he can be fired. This is very well-written, with what appears to be an excellent grasp of the England of that [XBR] time. I'm hooked, and lining up a copy of book two, as we speak.

For: The covenant of water

Best Book Ever

The Covenant of Water may be the best book I've ever read. Even at 700 pages, I was ready for more.

For: The high notes

THE HIGH AND LOW NOTES...

A very simplistic book by Danielle Steel. Unfortunately. Not the story that's likely to happen in real life to a young girl with the amazing voice in circumstances that she grows in and in the environment she is surrounded by while traveling with different cheap bands...It's hard to believe she remains as naive and innocent as the novel claims, after so many years of such uprooted life, without family support or love...

For: Triangle

The Four angles.

Written O.K. and is fast-unravelling tale... Of Four characters, that are in this book. A heroine-Amanda, falls finally in real love with a great tender and loving man-Olivier, not aware that he is married (at least, on paper) to a lesbian woman-Stephanie, who had never loved him in her entire "married" life, but left him to his own devices to tend for himself without true family or devotion... And the rendition also include a psychopath-Tom, who had now, after 20 years of his rejection, promised he would kill her (Amanda) if she rejects him again, years ago of their college amore at the College... I read and finished the book in two days. But it's quite disruptive and weird... But it all ends well, at the very end.
