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.

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.

Priced to Move by Ginny Aiken
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Priced to Move was free when I downloaded it to my Nook from BN.com.

I read it quickly which may be why I found it entertaining and other reviewers found things they did not like about the book. The Christian aspect worked fine with these characters, without being overdone. The book fits more in the romance genre within a cozy mystery niche than Christian fiction.

It is an entertaining book for readers who prefer their romance with a cozy mystery.

Emperors' Clothes by Catherine McGuinness
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Emperors' Clothes was free when I downloaded it to my Nook.

This book was written by a former Human Resources person. I recognized some of the neurotic and sociopathic traits she writes about from my own observations of upper management during their corporate regime changes. I think the characters hit too close to home for me to enjoy this book, even as a satire or black comedy.

Heartfire by Karen Rose Smith
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Heartfire was free when I downloaded it to my Nook.

I enjoyed this romance between Tessa and Max. There are some descriptive scenes of their passion but it is still PG-13, or even PG.

Heartfire is an entertaining romance for readers who prefer this genre.
