The Southern Belles of Honeysuckle Way by Linda Bruckheimer

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


This book had potential, and it did not live up to it. It's a wonder its characters aren't clucking their tongues and saying, "It's jest a shame that had to happen." I liked the characters; it was the plot and storyline that disappointed me.

The Help by Kathryn Stockett

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


The librarian recommended this as a possible book club selection, and I did not read it until after our book club disbanded. I wish we had discussed this as most members of our club were born after the Civil Rights movement. Our discussions might have been lively. This book tells an interesting story of an historical time.

I rate a book with 5 stars when I want to press the book into hands of acquaintances and say, "You have got to read this!" It was so good I shushed my husband when he asked a question while I was reading.

The 9th Judgment by James Patterson

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


This was the first James Patterson book I read, and it did not impress me enough to seek out any of his other books. I gave it two stars because it was an entertaining fast read and there is a market for books like this; but, I don't think I'm its target market.

61 Hours by Lee Child

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I enjoyed this action-adventure book. Book #14 was my introduction to the character of Jack Reacher, and I'm likely to start adding earlier books in the series to my "to-read" shelf.

Journeys of a Lifetime: 500 of the World's Greatest Trips by National Geographic Society

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Before reading this book I would have never imagined there is The Great Pub Crawl in Australia where the designated driver is the pilot who flies you from pub to pub. It sounded like great fun. This is perfect gift for an armchair traveler or for the person in charge of vacation itineraries. Websites are given for each trip for more research.

Angel by Colleen McCullough

It only rated 2 stars as it is a character-driven novel whose characters I did not like. I had higher hopes for this book when I started reading it.
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
