I always like Dean Koontz. You will never be bored when he tells a story; this is quite a page-turner.

All the Way Home

Fiction by Ann Tatlock.

All The Way Home
http://www.barnesandnoble.com

This is a wonderful book about a pair of little girls, one Japanese and one Caucasian, who become best friends in the years leading up to the Second World War. I definitely recommend it.

The Choice

Fiction by Robert Whitlow.

The Choice
http://www.barnesandnoble.com

A great story about the choices facing pregnant teens, both in 1975 and in 2008.

This was a like two books in one; Part One was actually its own novel in a way. So I'm giving it two thumbs up.

A Change in Altitude



Fiction by Anita Shreve.

A Change in Altitude
http://www.barnesandnoble.com

This was a story about a young married couple who are spending their first year in Kenya. Good book, although I didn't like the ending. (Not that I will give it away...)

Let Darkness Come

Fiction by Angela Hunt.

Let Darkness Come
http://www.barnesandnoble.com

Good legal thriller. It held some surprises and kept my attention.

Unlike normal people, who would probably read more while traveling, I have been reading less recently. I have a motion sickness problem that makes it difficult for me to read on planes and in cars; also I find traveling with children interferes with my reading a great deal.

Anyways, this book took me longer than it should have to finish, but it was still good.

Dreamcatcher

Fiction by Stephen King.

Dreamcatcher
http://www.barnesandnoble.com

Okay, this is not Stephen King's best. Graphic grossness and extreme cussing aside, (which you kind of expect from this guy), this was just not a good story.

Or, you could say that the parts that were good were drowned in all the parts that were boring.

Definitely not as good as The Stand or Cell.
