This was a very good book. I reccommend it to everyone! This is a true story, which makes you cry at some points. But otherwise it's one of the best books I have read!!  Check the Library Catalog

This is a different type of book that I don't usually read. It consisted of pain, loss, friendship, forgiveness and God's healing. It was a well written book about what happens after a high school football game and the ten years it took for the town to discover the truth. I saw the author on Dr. Phil and felt I had to read her inspirational book.  Check the Library Catalog

The Girl who Kicked the Hornet's Nest

Stieg Larsson
Review
The third book in the series. The ending was phenomenal! The whole court scene was captivating and the lawyer, Annika Giannini was fantastic! Salander once again is a strong character. As with the first two books, subject matter is very mature, but well written.  Check the Library Catalog

This was an okay book, the first in the Cinderella Cleaners series. I like how the author captures the excitement of a Broadway show.  Check the Library Catalog
