This book was just as good as the previous two Kelly Ryan mysteries. The touches of Carribean culture put the murder in a different, more interesting setting than most mystery stories.

This was my first Mary Kruger mystery. I enjoyed it much more than I expected to. The main character must solve a murder as she walks the fine line between the upper class and the servant class.

This is a Kelly Ryan mystery. It is interesting to read a mystery set in the Carribean. The author has put touches of the culture as part of the background of the book.

This book was as enjoyable as all the books by Janet. I have read every single one and this one does not disapoint. I personally think Janet gets better with every book.

This is a silly fun story. I enjoyed it. I liked the idea of archeologists resurrecting an old 20th century McDonalds and putting it back to use. However, I found a slew of typos in the book. They were of the kind that get through a spell checker as the words weren't actually mispelled, they just didn't fit the sentence. This distracted me a bit from the story as I couldn't always decipher a mangled but perfectly spelled sentence.

There's a bit of Elvis content in the book and I thought it a bit more orignal than other books I've read that have an Elvis theme.

This is a favorite from childhood. I still have my dogeared copy from 1965. I got a more updated copy for my children to enjoy.


Forks Over Knives - A Year of Meals: 365 Recipes for Plant-Based Eating Every Day of the Year
Review Date: 7/5/2017


This book is an excellent supplement to the other Forks over Knives books that I have. My biggest problem with eating this way is learning how to cook it. This book definitely takes care of that problem.

I really plowed through this whole series rather hungrily. A result of my withdrawal from the True Blood tv show being off season. This book managed to be just as good as all the previous ones before it. Harris weaves new things into the stories and keeps things interesting. These are books where things are happening and the action moves along. A very recommended read.

This is one of Pratchetts best reads. Many funny and thought provoking moments. My only saddness is that there isn't more of this stuff to read.

This was a very interesting read. I was surprised to find that it was directed more as a book for Christians to understand how they appear to Non-Christians. I thought it would be more of a commentary on his experience. A very well written book and a must read for Christians. Mehta has much to say that is usefull.

I have tried only a few recipes so far but I have been very happy with all of McNairs recipes. This guy knows how to make things taste delicious. He gives very good information on the foods and history. The directions are very clear.

This book turned out to be just what I needed. I didn't know how to cook the various types of squash. This book gave me some nice basic recipes that were easy to follow with some nice color photos. To me the photos are important when dealing with food I don't know anything about. I also like the sections that explained the different types of squashes and categorized them into Winter and Summer. Overall it is a very informative book.
