Invasion (Alien Invasion #1)

Invasion by Sean Platt
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This e-book has been in My Digital Library since January 1, 2016.

It was an exciting novel about a family who tries to get from New York City to what they hope will be a safe location near Vail, Colorado. It is the first of seven novels, and I do not plan to read more of them because science fiction is no longer a preferred genre.

Everything is Tuberculosis

Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection by John Green
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I borrowed this book from my local library after I watched an interview with the author John Green.

Green makes the reader care about the subject of tuberculosis by introducing us to one person named Henry and weaving his story through the information about tuberculosis. While I was in high school, a local sanatorium refocused its purpose and was no longer for TB patients. I remember my parents always added Christmas Seals to their Christmas cards. During my career as a pharmacist, I only knew one person who was treated for tuberculosis and he was still living when I retired. I do not remember the last time I was required to get a TB Tine test for employment.

Green asks good questions about where and why treatment is not possible for too many people.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Twelve Months has been in My Digital Library since February 2016. I only recently noticed I had not added it to my Goodreads Want To Read shelf.

It is an inspirational and sentimental book. This book reminds the reader to make good memories with people we love.

All Good Deeds (A Lucy Kendall Thriller)

All Good Deeds by Stacy Green
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This e-book has been in My Digital Library for about ten years.

Lucy Kendall is a killer of pedophiles who murdered their victims. The novel is interesting suspense, and I am uncomfortable reading her justifications. I do not want to read the remaining books where Lucy Kendall is the protagonist.
