A Hearth in Candlewood by Delia Parr
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Hearth in Candlewood was free when I downloaded it to my Nook. I shelved it as a Romance but there was little romance. This is more of Community book similar to the way that Jan Karon's Father Tim books are community books. It is entertaining and it is a character-driven book.

Morgawr by Terry Brooks
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Morgawr is the twenty-fourth book I read in my quest to read the Shannara books in our home in their chronological list order.

This book includes good, descriptive battles that had to be resolved from conflicts that started in the first two books of "The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara" trilogy. My three-star rating may indicate a weariness with this project.

I recommend this book to fans of the series. First time readers of the Shannara books by Terry Brooks are recommended to start elsewhere.

The Book of Rules: The Right Way to Do Everything by Joshua Belter
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This book was free when I downloaded it for my Nook.

My downgrade to two stars is the result of it not being as funny as I expected it to be.

I recommend it to readers who want to have proof they are right when others are wrong.

The Poet by Michael Connelly
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Poet is a thriller. I usually read cozy mysteries so there were about three times I had to find the end of the chapter before I read more because Connelly made me feel anxious and concerned for his characters.

I highly recommend to adult readers who still leave the light on when necessary.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book was free when I downloaded it to my Nook. This is the second book I read by this author.

This is the type of general science I enjoy reading. Seethaler explains what I need to known in a concise, easy-to-remember format.

I recommend it for all readers.

Fodor's Germany, 26th Edition by Fodor's Travel Publications Inc.
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I chose to pack Fodor's Germanybecause this guide had information about places not mentioned in Rick Steves' Germany 2013.
My husband and I were on Trafalgar Tour's Cost Saver, Highlights of Germany for two weeks plus we visited Speyer on our own. This guide was useful during planning before we left, and it was useful to guide us to attractions instead of shopping or eating during free times.

I used this book every day of our trip. I often tore pages from the book so the information of the day could fit into my pocket.
