Mother-daughter Murder Night
by Nina Simon

It is a true cozi mystery. A little cheesy. A little hokey, but cute. I felt it could have been solved a little more quickly and it left a few of the characters unresolved. Maybe intentionally for a sequel.
 
 

The Starlit Wood
by Dominik Parsion

The fairy tales that were collected by Dominik had a refreshing take on old tales! I wish to read more works from the authors.
 
 

Miles to Go
by Miley Cyrus

Miles to go is an autobiography written at the time Miley is 15/16 and in the height of her Hannah Montana fame. There is someone helping to guide her write the book (and maybe even co-writing), but it’s clear the book isn’t dominated by a ghost writer as you can see Miley’s voice and personality on every page. There are so many details and insights into her life as you see her childhood, experience being bullied, her auditions, her family, and her work on Hannah Montana. She gives an open and honest account on how her life is changing with her newfound fame. Poetic and inspiring book and I hope she writes a book about post-Hannah Montana life someday:)
 
 

Leaving Time
by Jodi Picoult

Elephants, psychics, detectives, and a teenager who just wants to solve the 10-year-old missing persons case of her mother. Full of twists and turns you will not see coming.
 
 

Memory Man (amos Decker Series): By David Baldacci In-depth Summary & Analysis
by David Baldacci

I enjoyed the mental aspect of this book. The memory and visual awareness that is used to solve the crimes. I also enjoy The Reacher series, but this is different than using pure brute. I liked it so much I plan on reading the second book in the series.
 
 

How To Survive In Medieval England
by Toni Mount

Not a bad account on life in medieval England! Mount makes it fun by giving us a guide as if we’re really going to be transported back to that time! Life in medieval England is not easy, as there’s many dangers to be aware of, and things to know to fit in…and not be caught as a time traveler, or, at least, as a rebel of the time. Only thing I wasn’t so keen on were the fictional interviews; which were a little too fictional for this book in my opinion, but I understand if others would find them fun.
 
 

Fodor's Essential Turkey
by Fodor's Travel Guides

I used both this book and Lonely Planet. Prefer Fodors. Has pictures. Better descriptions and a better layout within each city.
 
 

Lonely Planet Turkey
by Lonely Planet

Helpful in planning my trip to Turkey. However, I like the layout of Fodor's Travel book better. I used this book to find recommended hotels and restaurants.
 
 

An Unwanted Guest
by Shari Lapena

Lots of twists. It kept me guessing and kept my attention. I read it in 2 days. I have to admit I wasn't able to figure out who dun it until the very end. But not the WHY. I will be passing this book onto my friends.
 
 

Double Exposure
by Ava Barry

It kept my attention and I found myself not wanting to put it down. I liked the many twists. And the characters kept you guessing.
