Girl In Translation
- What a fantastic book. I could not stop. I read it through the night and would recommend it to everyoine.

This Must Be The Place by Kate Racculi
- This is a wonderful book. The characters are great. For a first novel the writing is super. Reminds me of Anne Tyler, Sarah Addison, Elizabeth Berg. Every page is enjoyable. You will want to read it slowly and hope that it doesn't end.

The Hunger Games Trilogy by S. Collins
- I loved The Hunger Games, Catching Fire and The Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. I could not put them down! Although the subjects of war and government oppression are heavy I think the author handled them well and raises important questions concerning how much children and young adults should know about such things.

Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
- After reading the first two hunger games books, I knew I would have to get my hands on the third book or else die trying. And I have to say that 'Mockingyay' has greatly exceeded my expectations. If you were to think of the pure awesomeness from the first two books, mash them together into a massive bundle of even more pure awesomeness then multiply it by the larget number you could dream of, then the massive awesomeness sitting infront of you would not even come close to that in the book. This book is now my bible and I shall cherish it forever. There is nothing I can say about this book that wont give anything away. But what I can tell you is that by the end of the book you will think of each character in a new way. You will forgive the ones you hated, hate the ones you thought were awesome, shake your head when some one does the unspeakable and squeal with delight when you see a new twist in the plot. The ending of the book is expected though exhilarating and, well, AWESOME!

JESUS BOY
- Excellent novel that depicts the hypocrisy of many people who claim to be "good Christians." It sheds light on what forgiveness really means. The story is both heartwarming and humorous at times.

Invisible Bridge
- Julie Orringer's first novel takes us into the time of the 2nd World War, and is terrifying, romantic, and hopeful.

The Liquid City by Curtis J Hopfenbeck
- Finally, an author who can make you laugh, cry, cringe and stand up and cheer. I agree with Oprah and the New York Times, this is definitely the best light fiction offering of the decade. The tough, intelligent and witty womanizer that women adore and men aspire to. The Liquid City by Curtis J Hopfenbeck is the most fun I've had reading a book in decades. I can't wait for his next release in the series coming out this Fall. If this isn't the most fun you've ever had reading a book then you've been hanging out in the library too long. I know humor is the most difficult aspect to write, but Hopfenbeck is a true verbal master and the king of wit and wise-cracks!

Shadows in Summer by Crescent Varrone
- This is a wonderful book -- grips your attention from the start, it's a real page-turner. It's more mentally stimulating than your standard airport bestseller… (and) the Danish setting gives an interesting view... There are six characters who takes turns narrating the story. We watch these characters wrestle with deep philosophical questions… The author's carefully crafted descriptive writing, some of it rising to the level of poetry, give this volume gravitas and propel it gracefully… Out of the category of mere pulp thriller!

Wolf Hall
- An amazing review of Thomas Cromwell, his relationship with Henry VIII and on Tudor England in general
- —Guest Giles Harrod
The Passage by Justin Cronin
- A great read and a real page turner. The first of a planned trilogy, this book is a little sci-fi/ Orwellian, but not beyond the realm of possibility in this age of genetic engineering.

The Girl who Kicked the Hornets Nest
- Stieg Larsson left us too early. The whole series were some of the best books I've read in a long time. Who couldn't like Lisbeth Salander ? She was truly one of the best literary characters to be introduced in a long time. I'm only sorry he didn't get to finish the fourth book...

The Boy Who Came Back from Heaven
- A true story that will absolutely amaze you! It offers proof for skeptics, hope for the hopeless, and faith in the unseen world. I can not recommend it highly enough. This is not a story with a perfect happy ending, but rather a story of an ongoing journey that is AWESOME. The power of prayer and positive attitude are seen, as well as a dark world all around us in conflict with goodness and mercy in Christ. It is a story of redemption, written by a very human, ordinary man who is far from perfect-- the common man. Yet, he is brought to such an uncommon life through the most horrible of circumstances. A MUST read. It hasn't been out very long and I bet every one will be talking about it soon. Written by Kevin & Alex Malarkey Bring a box of Kleenex.

The Lion
- Nelson DeMille never disappoints. This is a sequel to "The Lion's Game." Gripping suspense told with his droll humor. Read both and remember when they were written! Amazing foresight. His books are so fun I can hardly wait to get back to them. Unfortunately, there is only one of his that I haven't read. Nelson is going to have to write faster!

The Cookbook Collector by Allegra Goodm
- My very favorite book of 2010 is The Cookbook Collector by Allegra Goodman. A close second would be Angelology whose author I forgot.
- —Guest Linnea Mensching
The Dark Vineyard by Martin Walker
- An absolutely stunning book. A trip into life in the countryside of France. His first novel in this series, Bruno Chief of Police is also wonderful. I savored every moment of this excellent book.
