Explosive Eighteen: A Stephanie Plum Novel (Stephanie Plum Novels)
A light, fun read. Sometimes that's just what you need in a book. :)
The Art of Fielding
It was a pleasure watching this story slowly unwind on a small college campus. It is so much more than a baseball book. The characters are fully developed. A great read!
I Am Half-Sick of Shadows (Flavia de Luce Series #4)
Flavia de Luce is becoming one of my favorite characters!! She is an 11-year-old chemist/detective/genius that I desperately want to meet!Loved this book!
The Litigators
I love Grisham's books and this one didn't disappoint. I love his writing style. This book is about mass-tort litigation which is fascinating to me.
The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind: Creating Currents of Electricity and Hope
Amazing, inspiring story. Read it!
The Way of the Heart: Desert Spirituality and Contemporary Ministry
Thought-provoking book on solitude, silence and prayer. It offers some really good insights on all three.
The Checklist Manifesto: How to Get Things Right
Fascinating look at how something as simple as a checklist can make a big difference. Reminded me somewhat of a Malcolm Gladwell book so I enjoyed it.
The Eyre Affair (Thursday Next Series #1)
Very clever book and entertaining. Better make sure you are up to speed on Jane Eyre before you read it. I had just seen the movie which helped since I haven't read Jane Eyre in about 15 years.

Portrait of a Spy (Gabriel Allon Novel #11)
Daniel Silva is one of my favorite authors. I have read all of the books in his Gabriel Allon spy series. (Disclaimer: I love a good spy story.) His books just keep getting better and better! A great read!
The Tiger's Wife
I found the book fascinating, but had trouble keeping up with the different story lines. I think that is my problem not the author's. :). I like her writing style. The book is mysterious and keeps you wanting to find out more.

The Irresistible Henry House
Won this book from Goodreads Giveaways. I loved this book! I couldn't put it down and read the whole thing in one day. It is the story of Henry House, a child raised in a "practice house" in a home economics program at a university. The story is original and intriguing. Highly recommended!
