Wow, I forgot to list my monthly reads. I've been working 2 jobs for about a month so time has gotten away from me. I'm down to just one now so it will be better. : )
I read 6 books for the month, read 3 and listened to 3. Thank goodness for audio! Hope's Boy - Andrew Bridge - B+ - NF - audio - This was a good listen about a boy taken from his mother when he was 7 for neglect and placed in a foster home. Lying With Strangers - James Grippanda - A - audio - Good mystery about a woman doctor being stalked. I'll look for more by this author. Unbroken - Laura Hillenbrand - NF - A+ - Very good read about a WWII soldier who was captured after 43 days on a raft and was a captive by the Japanese. This will be on my favorites for the year. Blood & Orchids - Norman Katkov - C+ - This was far too long. Plot was good but could have been shorter. Killing Kennedy - Bill O'Reilly - C + - Not much new stuff in this one and I didn't agree with some of his "facts". Billy Creekmore - Tracey Porter - YA - A - audio - Billy's mother died at his birth and his father said he would get Billy from the orphanage eventually. It's a coming of age story and I thought it was well done. Paula, CO
