Ricochet Book Review

 

Ricochet Review

This is one of my favorite Authors. I love reading her books.

This book is about a Detective in the Police Force. His name is Duncan Hatcher and he holds a grudge against Judge Cato Laird. The reason he holds this grudge is because he always let one  particular criminal go free. Detective Hatcher and his partner Deedee are called to the Judge's home one night because of a shooting. They question the Judge and his wife, Elise, about the shooting. Elise is very vague on her answers and they keep going back to question her and to examine the scene of the crime..

There are some twist and turns in this that I think you will enjoy. She does her research well so can give you great insight into the topic. She describes how the police have a very fine line they have to stay within and it can be hard for them sometimes. Also one lie can lead another and another where it is hard to remember what you told and in the end it will catch up to you.

If you like mysteries I would recommend this book plus more of her books for you to read.

May 2017 Reads

 

May Reads

Even though the picture was taken in April we didn't get this done until May. This is a book that I read to David. It is about a girl who is in foster care and how she handles herself. It was a good boo.

This was the book club pick from the library. I missed the get together for this book because I was in Utah. I liked this book and it made me cry. I need to watch the movie now.

On of my mystery books. This one has crochet patterns and recipes I the back.

 Have to have a Harry Potter fix every now and then. I read this to David.

Yet another mystery.

William Shakespeare I listen to. To hard to read by yourself.

Another Shakespeare. I am almost done with his books.

Not much read this month, but it was a pretty busy month.

Wing and Claw Forest of Wonders Review

 

Wing And Claw Forest of Wonders Review

This is a middle grade book that I read to David at night before bed.
This is a book that he picked out because he loves to listen to mysteries and animals.
Linda wrote this book very well. It kept David's attention and he was asking questions.
It tells about a boy who is a gifted apothecary. He goes against his father and finds himself in some unique situations that he has to get himself out of. It also talks about friendships.   
I would recommend this book for your child.

April 2017 Books Read

 

April Reads

Here are the books David and I read for the month of April. There weren't as many books that I read. David did most of the reading. I just couldn't get into a book . The first four books David read. I know that they are children's books but David struggles with reading and he has to read out loud to either Mike or myself so we try to make it easy for him.

I liked this book. I wanted to read a little more about Sylvia Plath since she was mentioned in the book The Dollhouse, the book I read for my book club. Goes more into detail about her.

 This book I read to David at bedtime. The teachers want him to be read to at night so he can hear the flow on how to read.

This book my parents gave me to read but I found it on audio from the library so I listened to it as I crochet. I returned the book back to my parents.

Tara read this book a while ago so I decided to read it. There are many books in this series. I just picked up book two. I haven't started it yet. She did a review on it in her book blog Biggs read. I think that is the name of it. Sis correct me if I'm wrong.

Another mystery book. This book has recipes at the end.

Most of the books read we checked out from the library this time. Hopefully next month I will be out of my reading dump.

March 2017 Wrap-Up

 

March Reads

I am so far behind so sorry this is late. I will try to get every thing got up again in the next few days.

Here are the books that David and I read for the month of March. As you probably have guessed I really enjoy mysteries and history. David is still struggling with reading so I still read to him or he listens to audio books.

This was my book club read for the month. It had both mystery and a little bit of history.

  This was the last book of a young adult  series. It was a really good series I thought.

Here is the book I read that isn't pictured.

To the Lighthouse by: Virginia Woolf. I did no like this book at all. It was February's book club read and it took me this long to finish reading. So that was a total of ten books for the month of March not to bad.

Lady Midnight Review

 

Lady Midnight Review

I am not sure how I want to write this review. It took me a long time to read this book. It wasn't because it was almost 700 pages but because it didn't hold my interest.
I liked her Mortal Instrument Series a lot more. I know I am one of the few who. This book talks about Emma and Julian which you hear about near the end of the Mortal Instrument Series.
Emma and Julien are parabatai.  They have been together since they were young; in fact they grew up together. Emma's parent are killed and she doesn't know who killed and she is searching for their killer. Julien ends up raising his younger brothers and sisters. There are killings happening in The L.A area and they are trying to figure out who is doing it. Emma is sure it is related to her parents murder, which happened five years earlier. The book finally gets interesting to me about 500 pages in. There at a lot of twist and turns and things do flash back to the Mortal Instrument series so you do need to read it to understand this book. I would say go ahead and read it because I am one of the few who really didn't get into it but will probably the second book because I need to know how things ends. I can't go into to much detail because it will give it away.

February 2017 Wrap-Up

 

February Books

The Yearling I read to David

Little Women isn't finished yet.

These were from the book club I'm in. All the light we cannot see was January's book but didn't get finished. It is actually a good book about WWII. This is the first Virginia Woolf book I have ever read. I didn't like and the funny thing is no one in the book club liked it except the person who chose it. The other book was a quick read and we had the author come to the library to talk with us. I wasn't able to make it to see the author.

Another book I read to David.

Other books I listened to this month were Antony and Cleopatra by: William Shakespeare

The Sonnets by: William Shakespeare

Not as many read this month. It has been a busy month for us. Sorry this is out late but life is active here in Pueblo, Colorado
