Unsheltered
Loved half of the duel storylines. Listened to audiobook and Kingsolver is excellent but recommend 1.25x speed.
An American Marriage
Thoroughly enjoyed the writing even though I did not really like the main characters.
Soot: A Novel
Too convoluted a plot for me at this time. Made it through about a quarter of the book.
Long Bright River
Not particularly believable and never really cared for any of the characters.
Desolation Mountain
A fabulous addition to a series that has been continuously enjoyable.
Hex on the Beach
Quirky and interesting premise. A fast and fun summer read. I just could go higher than two stars because the writing is so uneven.
Red Queen
A little too predictable but still compelling.
Foul Matter
Could not force myself to finish this.
Death in Holy Orders
Classic.
A certain justice
I haven't read P.D. James for a while. The methodical murder procedural was a lovely change. It is no wonder so many of her books are filmed.
Flight Behavior
Although climate change underpins the book, it was hearing Dellarobia's thoughts that hooked me. Kingsolver character development at its best.
Cat on the Edge
Light quick read especially for cat lovers.
Carry the One
Prose so spare and large chunks of time are missing in the narrative yet a compelling read.
Someone Knows My Name
A novel about the transatlantic slave trade at the end of the 1700s. gripping and brutal. Historical aspects were the most interesting.
Swamplandia!
Not much to be happy about in this book. Grim.
Haunted Ground
Minneapolis author. Good summer read.
Finger Lickin' Fifteen
Slow. Plum is too inept.
Proust and the Squid: The Story and Science of the Reading Brain
I give up. Too dry.
Is the Internet Changing the Way You Think?: The Net's Impact on Our Minds and Future
Several essays were interesting or entertaining but not worth worth much more than an hour skimming.
The Cailiffs of Baghdad, Georgia
Slow start, but fun.
The Shallows
Everyone who spends a significant amount of time on the computer should at least read chapters 9 and 10.
People of the Book
A fun read while traveling last weekend.
Blood and Thunder
One of the best non-fiction works I have ever read.
The Brain that Changes Itself: Stories of Personal Triumph from the Frontiers of Brain Science
Totally facinating read. So many applications for everyday living.
The Double Bind
Finished this last nightand I am still thinking about it. Interestingly references the people from The Great Gatsby.
