Faye Kellerman

Hi readers, I hope you
have been enjoying whatever book
you are reading at the moment.
 

A couple of books I have read recently, are

The Burnt House

and

Blindman's Bluff

by....

 

Faye Kellerman

 

I have also read other titles by
members of the Kellerman family in the past.
Her husband

Jonathan Kellerman
and their son
Jesse Kellerman

Their books seem to have
more twists than barley sugar when
it comes to 'whodunit', but that's what
I like about them :)

 

 Happy reading,  Jenny


Espionage.....

Hi readers, I have

recently finished reading...

 

Prince of Fire

by Daniel Silva

 

The main character in his books, is

Gabriel Allon - a restorer of old paintings...

and an assassin.

 

To describe the character, I guess

Allon is the Isreali version of the

C.I.A., James Bond, etc.  Admittedly, the story
line does sometimes involve the political

situation in Israel, but they are works of fiction.
 

The books are 'stand alone' titles, so

you don't necessarily have to
read them in sequence.

I could list them as

murder/mystery, but I'd prefer

to call them 'Espionage' , and
from time to time, will

add similar authors you

might like to try to
this heading.

 

In the meantime, happy reading
Jenny

 



Caught short.....

Mmmm, apologies for the post title, but

it's hard to decide what title to use,

but hopefully it will seem

appropriate by the end ...lol...:)

 

I have just finished reading

 

Adventures in the Ladies Loo

by

Donna Clare Williams .

 

Now you can see where I was going with the post title...lol...

 

This book is fiction based on

numerous stories about events that occurred

over the years in the Red Cross Tea Rooms

at the Brisbane City Hall.

 

The stories are as told by 'Mavis'

who visits the tea rooms regularly, and

observes many things while enjoying her cup of tea.

 

The book also covers the dilemma

faced by many when the tea rooms were closed, as

it also involved the closure of the 'sanitation area' !

 

 This is book has a many lovely 'remember when' type

situations,  quite a few chuckles, and some scripture

references along the way. 

 

 Let me know what you think :)

 

Happy reading,  Jenny

 



Who reads who...??....!!!

Isn't it frustrating

when your favourite author

seems to take forrrr...everrrr to write

another book...lol...!!!

 

Solution?

Why not read some

of the authors they

like to read!

 

Here is a list

of some that I have found....

 

Anne McCaffrey  has read books by  Terry Pratchett

 

Tess Gerritsen            .............           Chris Mooney

 

James Patterson   and   Harlan Coben

both like to read...

 

Linda Fairstein

 

In case you are wondering , I have

found this out by looking

at authors I haven't read before ,

and looking to

see who has read them :)

 

I hope you enjoy

the list .  I will add more

when I come across them .

 

Happy reading , Jenny

 

 



Monuments Men

What a read!

 

I have just finished reading...

 

Monuments Men

by

Robert  M. Edsel

 

While we all know something

about the history of previous wars, but it is

amazing what else went on!

 

Have you ever really considered

how a lot of historical artworks survived

the wars?   I found this book a real 'eye opener'

as to what happened.

 

Many might find a

non-fiction book 'heavy' going, but

if you appreciate books, I'm sure you will

be glad to read this book.

 

I have had this book on my shelf for quite

a while now, and realise it has recently been made into

a movie - I haven't seen it, but hope it does justice to both

the history, and the book.

 

I hope you enjoy it too.

 

Happy reading, Jenny
