So Pretty it Hurts by Kate White

I just finished reading another myertery novel.  This is the 2nd myserty I have read in a month and I now realize that I am not good at solving them.  But I disliked how the murderer in this story admitted to the crime and then explaind why they did it. I wish I could have done more of the thinking.   But all-in-all it was a good read.  If you are in want of a myserty, this one is for you.  The story starts with a modle who dies.  And then the reporter (who was also there when she died) tries to find out the truth.   And the truth is never what you think. 

Morning Glory by Lavyrle Spencer

 So I couldn't put this book down.  I started listening to it on tape and then renting the book so I could read it faster.  It is a story of a "crazy" girl living in Gorgia during WWII.  She has 2 kids and one on the way.  Her husband had just died and she needs help.  So she advertises for a husband of any age.  And she got Will Parker.  Who happened to be a man straight out of jail for murder.  And the 2 of them then start a love story with war, more murder, more babies, and everything else in the middle.  LOVED THIS BOOK!!!!! 

Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet

I don't remember who recommended this book to me but I am now recommending it to everyone.  This is a story of a Japanese Family and a Chinese Family growing up in Seattle, WA during WWII.  I had no idea how bad we treated the American-Japanese!!!  It was so sad to read about the things the US government put them through.  In the end of course everything works out.  I loved the ending in fact.  It was one of those endings were you get to decide what really happens.

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

My little sister recommend this book and so I started it.  But I stopped after 5 chapters (too slow).  Then a good friend recommend it, so I decided to pick it back up.  And man am I glad that I did.  This story is about a young girl during WWII.  She loses her brother and mother as the start of the book and becomes a foster child who loves reading.  Through the eyes of this child you see what goes on during WWII.  I cried and laughed.  A great story.

4:50 from Paddington by Agatha Christie

This is the first Murder Mystery that I have read.  I love watching mysteries and I love trying to figure out who did it.  So I wasn't surprised that I really liked reading one.  Agatha Chrisitie is a great author.  She is descriptive and makes you think it could be anyone.  I of course was very surprised with the outcome of this book.  And now realize that I could never be a detective.  I read this book for our May book club and truly enjoyed reading it.

Lone Wolf by Jodi Picoult

I have read a number of Jodi Picoult books.  They all have the same type of story line where there is some sort of family problem and in the end you are shocked. Well, this one followed that same line.  BUT throughout this story line family you learn about wolves. I enjoyed that.  I also liked the family plot where a broken family was brought back together and forced to remember what family was all about.  I really did like this read and would recommend it to anyone who likes Jodi Picoult.
