This book had active action and suspense. It is a good idea, and a good book for certain people.

Every Vow You Break

book cover


This was a great book of suspense! It has an interesting story line which kept me coming back for more - one of those books that I was excited to find out what was going to happen next. I loved that there were some unpredictable twists. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes thrillers or suspense novels.

A Short History Of Nearly Everything
by Bill Bryson
View in Library Catalog
book cover


It was an interesting read and I discovered some new facts. In a nutshell it explains how Earth was formed and how everything lined up just right at the precise times and distances to create life as we know it. It delves into the subjects of chemistry, biology, and physics throughout, while naming notable scientists, physicists, etc. Overall, it took me quite some time to get through the book because it did not hold my interest, page after page.

Distant Echoes
by Colleen Coble

book cover


Book one of the Aloha Reef Series. We meet the Oana family. The first book focuses on Kaia Oana. She works with dolphins specifically a dolphin named Nani. An explosion on the water occurs and the next thing you know, Kaia and Nani are working with the US Navy to figure out why the explosion occurred. Good Story but predictable.

An Unlikely Spy
by Rebecca Starford
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Evelyn Valpey, aware of her painful past and unsure of her role in society and the war effort, takes on a job with the "War Office" where she takes on the enemy--Fifth Column--by adopting a character unknown to herself and her friends. A bit rambling at times and moving from 1939/40 to 1948, the story explores MI5, counter intelligence, and Evelyn's inner turmoil.

Greenlights
by Matthew Mcconaughey
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This is Matthew McConaughey's autobiography written as he turned 50. The greenlights refer to the lessons he has learned from his life experiences. He peppers his story with bumper stickers or little quotes or sayings which he considers relevant to the topic he is talking about. It is a fairly short book and quite light hearted and entertaining

Radium Girls
by Kate Moore

book cover


Growing up in New Jersey, I had always heard stories about the Radium Girls. I found this book so captivating, yet heart wrenching. I couldn't put it down. What these girls went through after working with radium paint is so sad and truly unfair.

The Endermen Invasion: An Unofficial Gamer's Adventure, Book Three
by Winter Morgan

Active action, good concept, good book for certain people.

Dog Man Unleashed
