About Me

My photo
I'm a reader who enjoys posting comments and recommendations about the books I read. You will not find a synopsis with my recommendations because you can just click on the book title for a link to www.goodreads.com for a synopsis and reviews by other readers. I prefer the 3 Reason format: the reason I chose to read it; the reason I liked (or disliked) the book; and the reason I recommend it.

RoomRoom by Emma Donoghue
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This was voted Best Fiction of 2010 by readers on goodreads.com, and that is the reason I read it.
I give it only three stars because I find it difficult to recommend to others because its topic and theme disturb me.

Bad MonkeyBad Monkey by Carl Hiaasen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I borrowed the audiobook from my local library, and I enjoyed listening to it because when I am told a story about Hiaasen's characters they become that much more believable.
I recommend this for fans of the novels by Carl Hiassen.

 Central American Jungles (American Wilderness Series)Central American Jungles by Don Moser
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book has been in my home library on a shelf for the Time-Life series, The American Wilderness.  I enjoy the pictures, and recently I began enjoying the text of these books.
I was unaware of so many volcanoes in this region.  This armchair traveler also learned about its jungles, birds, coastal regions, mammals, reptiles, and insects.
I recommend it for all readers.

 Evernote: Unleashed! Remember Anything, Accomplish Any Goal, Get More Done (Evernote for Beginners - Your Complete Guide to Mastering Evernote Quickly)Evernote: Unleashed! Remember Anything, Accomplish Any Goal, Get More Done by Jason Bracht
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book was free for a short time from Amazon when I downloaded it to my Kindle for Android app.
I'm glad it was free because I already read Bracht first edition which has the same name but different cover.  Yes, there is still good information.
Buyer beware of books with different covers.

 The Hope of Shridula: Blessings in India Book #2The Hope of Shridula: Blessings in India Book #2 by Kay Marshall Strom
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This ebook was free when I downloaded it to my Nook library in Feb 2012.  It is the second in a series, and it is set 40 years after The Faith of Ashish so Ashish.
I found the story to be disjointed. There is a glossary of terms at the end of the book.
I don't recommend this book.
