Author: Anne Perry
My Area of Interest:Reading for the Christmas Spirit Read-a-thon
Castaway -I hated this book, I didn't make it 40 pages in.  I just couldn't.  I'm not fond of historical books for one, and the author introduced too many people in the first 10 pages that I just kept getting confused.  Just really couldn't get into this one or make myself finish it.

Sunwing

Title: Sunwing
Author: Kenneth Oppel
My Area of Interest: Teen
Castaway - Another one I didn't make it thru the first disk on. I'm sure it's a great book, just not my cup of tea. I don't usually make it thru books about animals instead of humans. I also never read Silverwing, so I was a bit lost in parts.

At Risk

Title: At Risk
Author: Patricia Cornwell
My Area of Interest: My friend Kelli loves Patricia Cornwell books, and she knows I read a lot and thought I would love her books.
Castaway - I didn't even make it thru the first disk. I tried, I really did, but it's too cop show for me... I'm more of a fluffy, cozy mystery person, so this really wasn't my cup of tea.

A Woman In Charge

Title: A Woman in Charge
Author: Carl Bernstein
My Area of Interest: Never read a book or much for that matter about Hillary. Thought it would be good.
Castaway - I got thru 8 CDs of 20. What I did read was good. A lot I didn't know about Hillary, and I even began to like her more, but the book just went on and on and on, and I couldn't take much more. I've got way too many on Mt. TBR that I want to get thru.

Special Delivery

Title: Special Delivery
Author: Danielle Steel
My Area of Interest: I read several of her books, and thought I would do some audio.
Castaway - I at least made it thru the first side of the 1st tape, but not the second. I kept trying to get into it, but just couldn't. Maybe I'm just no longer in the mood for Danielle Steel, maybe its because most of her books are the same now for me.
