One Summer

by Sandy September 16, 2011 Books

I just finished reading One Summer by David Baldacci. It’s a departure from the usual thriller novel that he is known for. The story is all about love, family, hope and faith. You really need a hanky while reading this book, as it is very emotional. While I usually prefer mysteries and thriller type books [...]

Love You More

by Sandy April 1, 2011 Books

I just finished the book, Love You More, by Lisa Gardner.  It’s a mystery novel with a dead husband, an accused wife and a kidnapped child.  Detective D D Warren is assigned the case and it is a mad race to save the child and unravel the mystery.  This book, though, differs from most of [...]

Fall of Giants

by Sandy November 14, 2010 Books

I’ve just finished Fall of Giants by Ken Follette. It’s the first of a trilogy, and I’m looking forward to the next installment. This book is a massive 1,008 pages. Not only is it entertaining, but it’s also an historical account of the Russian revolution and WWI, which I was not very familiar with, so [...]

61 Hours

by Sandy October 30, 2010 Books

I just finished the audible version of this book while washing my car. It was so exciting and I just couldn’t stop listening. I have read many of the books featuring the character, Jack Reacher. This is the 14th book in the series, but I wonder if it is the last. I had to rewind [...]

Still Life With Crows

by Sandy September 23, 2010 Books

I just finished Still Life With Crows by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. You really can’t go wrong with any book written by these two authors, and when they collaborate, the result is usually spectacular. In this case, the main character is FBI Agent, Pendergast, who can do no wrong. I usually enjoy all the [...]

Pillars of the Earth

by Sandy August 28, 2010 Books

I have read this book a few months ago, but did not review it on my blog. It’s quite a big book with over 900 pages (41 hours via audio), but once you start reading, you can’t put it down. I never would have thought that I would be interested in a book that takes [...]

The Millennium Trilogy

by Sandy July 3, 2010 Books

It seems like everyone is reading Stieg Larsson’s Millennium Trilogy. The three books are: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest. I’ve just finished the first two, and plan on starting the third one tomorrow. Each book is about a 4’11″, 90 [...]
