The Beekeepers Apprentice is a compelling, intelligent, sophisticated, read with a gutsy heroine. The complex relationship between the main characters keeps you longing for more adventures.

Bridge of Clay was written from the viewpoint of an older brother with no college education. The result is a rambling account of his younger brother's struggles. Though the book has very interesting characters, it desperately needs editing and better story flow.

The contrast between fictional movies and real-life, as portrayed in this book, are quite intriguing. Real-life is more ambiguous, plodding, and the outcomes are obtuse. The descriptions of American bombings are heart-wrenching. Is it all worth it?

This is an ambitious book, including the culture, languages, and history of many lands. The female characters were as cunning and well-developed as the male. In fact, there seems to be a role-reversal of traditional, stereotypical roles.
The roles and influence of various religions (Jewish/ Christian) played in the book was very interesting. This book is way above the usual Fantasy genre in its complexity and execution.

Everything Happens for a Reason is compelling reading. I had to keep reading to find out what happens next! Kate Bowler gives it to you straight and can see humor when the diagnosis is dark.
At the end of the book, she gives you options of what to do that is helpful and the definitive list of what never to say. For instance, never say, "Well, at least you had...(a husband, baby, Christmas, career, time to say goodbye, a chance to see NY, your son take his first steps...) because it is cruel and it minimizes pain. She has suffered as much though peoples' remarks as well as the chemo drugs! Interesting and insightful reading!

A Game of Thrones is an extraordinary, well developed, fast-paced, fantasy for adults. The plotting is intricate with a mix of politics, treachery, and fantasy that takes place in a wide variety of climates and seasons. The interwoven family histories are fascinating with their corresponding totems. A deeply satisfying, riveting read!

Lily is a spunky heroine with a mean kick. She may be only a maid but she can solve mysteries better than the Sherriff. Harriss first novel in this series has a fast paced plot, unique characters, and a gripping mystery that I couldnt put down.
