Did this one as an audio book, I am enjoying her stories, nothing super intelligent but a really good mystery story with great characters.
Bombshell by Lynda Curnyn
3.0
A good summer read, certainly isn't going to make you a deeper person, but a cute romantic story.
Everything We Had: An Oral History of the Vietnam War by Al Santoli
4.0
I wasn't sure about this one when I started, I think I live in a world that is so full of the media's interpretation of war and violence that I am very much desensitized to it. Of course this book didn't stop that from happening, but it was extremely well written and really stuck me in such a way (perhaps because it was written by the vets themselves) that war isn't about bombs and guns and dying, war is about the people who fight it, the people who die in it. War is the people.
A Handful of Time by Kit Pearson
4.0
This was for sure a book from my childhood. I revisited it today, took about three hours to blast through and it was a good story, one that might just spark the imagination of a 12 year old.
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
5.0
An absolute masterpiece. A story of censorship and persecution, a story about the absolute end in government control. A story of survival, or hope.
The Magician's Nephew by C.S. Lewis
5.0
Fantastic book! I haven't read this series since I was a kid and I love seeing C.S Lewis' true meaning in this book.
