Cover of Night by Linda Howard
One of her best! - Very suspenseful.

Compatible Cats by Karen Leigh Davis
Very interesting, learning about my bad cats, but I love them anyway.

House of Sand and Fog by Andre Dubus
Very compelling. I was in suspense despite the fact that I had already seen the movie (there were some differences, but both were owrthwhile).

The Girl Who Walked Home Alone by Charlotte Chandler
Disappointing biography of Bette Davis.

Between a Wok and a Hard Place by Tamar Myers
Fun reading.

The Confessions of Max Tivoli by Andrew Sean Greer
Interesting and unusual. Good narration. The book makes for good discussion.

The Strand by Ellen Santilli Vaughn
A great suspense novel. I really appreciate reading books like that that have no vulgarity.

The Touch by Colleen McCullough
Enjoyed this novel about New South Wales, later known as Australia.

Well of Tears by Celia Dart-Thornton
This author can write an excellent adventure tale.

12 Sharp by Janet Evanovich
Can't wait for 13!!!

Forbidden Pleasures by Bertrice Small
On the cover is a blurb from the Literary Times... "Small is the reigning queen of erotica, romance, love, and lust!" That about sums up this book. It's not for the shrinking violet or faint of heart reader... Emily Shann, a romance author billed as the contemporary Barbara Cartland, is ordered by her publisher to write sexier stories or they'll not renew her contract. The only problem Emily has, and it's a big one, is that she is a 31 year old virgin. Not to worry Emily... here comes your new editor... he's almost 40, he's had lots of sex, and he is drop dead gorgeous with a British/Irish accent. Small is over the top on this one... parts were uncomfortable for me to read... so I closed my eyes... yes, her story is a sex manual for the "erotic reader."

The Third Twin by Ken Follett
Frighteningly possible with today's science.

Hitched by Carol Higgins Clark
The best of the Regan Reilly mysteries!

Lipstick on a Pig by Torie Clarke
A must read for anyone in the field of communication.

Civilization and Its Discontents by Sigmund Freud
Not easy reading - my first attempt at Freud. Though I don't agree with everything he said, I thought it was interesting and insightful.
