A Skeleton in God's Closet

Fiction by Paul Maier.

This was kind of like a Dan Brown novel, but not really as good.

I don't want to give anything away on this one, because the best part is the surprise, but there is an exciting archaeological find that could really mess with Christian tradition. The plot was good, but I could not get interested in the characters at all.

Unidentified

Fiction by Matthew Costello

In this story, there is creepy, unknown thing threatening the world, and specifically threatening certain people who seem unconnected. It's all very vague and I got a little bored with the non-explanations, but I was somewhat interested in the characters and wanted to find out the ending, when I figured all would be revealed.

Well, let's just say that only some was revealed and it still seemed rather vague. I didn't get it, but true fans of horror-type fiction might feel differently.

Live Wire

Fiction by Harlan Coben.

This is number ten in a series. The last Myron Bolitar mystery I read was One False Move, which was number five. So I'm really out of order here, which is usually against my series-reading rules.

But this series is a bit odd, because the later novels seem to be way better than the earlier novels, so I decided to jump ahead a bit. Call me a rebel.

This was a better story than the ones in books number 1-5, so the queue-jumping might have been a good move. In this story, Myron uncovers some secrets from his own past while trying to help a pregnant client find her husband.

The Book of Tomorrow

Fiction by Cecelia Ahern.

This was a fun little book, about a girl who finds a diary than can tell her what she would have written tomorrow. But the weird thing is, she never actually writes anything. She just reads and then has to decide if she wants to change what happened or not. She of course also finds out that changing events doesn't always work out....

As terrible as I am about keeping journals, I think this bit of magic would be extremely helpful to me. Then I wouldn't have to write anything at all! But I digress; obviously that isn't the point of the story.

I am always interested in the concept of fate and how the choices we make direct our paths, so I enjoyed this book a lot.


Although the copy I read had a better cover, plus it had a little ribbon bookmark, which was awesome.

Until We Reach Home

Fiction by Lynn Austin.

Three sisters in the late nineteenth- century leave Sweden for a new life in America in this interesting book. I enjoyed the story, although I thought it wrapped up a bit too quickly at the end.

I also read recently by this author: All Things New, A Woman's Place, and  Wonderland Creek

The Wife Between Us

Vanessa is obsessed with the woman who has stolen her husband Richard and seems to be stalking the new couple, hoping to win him back.

Nellie is excited about her new fiance Richard, but seems frightened at times because she thinks someone is constantly following her.

But maybe all is not as it seems....

This was a good and exciting thriller!

Little Fires Everywhere

This was a very good story about a "perfect" suburb where real people can mess things up.
