The Memory Keeper's Daughter...

Kim Edwards

Book Club selection for the month. A story of loss, grief, and the walls that people build around themselves to keep out the bad stuff. They don't realize that by blocking things out, they are locking themselves in. Too much loss and grief for my tastes, but a well written book.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows...

J. K. Rowling....

is a goddess among mortals!!! I loved this series. That's all I'm really going to say. I read the last chapter and the epilogue twice. My hat is off to the woman who gave birth to The Boy Who Lived. This 40 year old will miss him, his friends, and their adventures dearly.

Chasing Destiny...

Eric Jerome Dickey.

Drama, drama, and more drama. It was disturbing in parts. Over the top in others. I just sort of felt grateful to be done w/ the thing by the time I reached the last page. I've heard that his latest is very entertaining and has some unexpected twists. I sure hope so. This last one was just too much mess for me.

Stolen...

Kelley Armstrong

The second book her Otherworld series. I enjoyed it. It introduced lots of new characters that I know I'll be seeing again. A nice escape.

Lover Eternal

JR Ward.

The second book in the vampire romance series. Enjoyable. I'll be reading the next one.
