Books I've Read/Heard 2015

This will be my third year of keeping a list of the books I've read/heard.  I am actually trying to read books this year~ we'll see how that goes.   Once again I've signed up for a number of book challenges which has its own page.   I've discovered that I'm not very good at writing reviews beyond one or two paragraphs but I definitely do rate them all.  As you can see I've gotten a bit "high tech" and have learned how to use the widgets on Goodreads this way my ratings/reviews as well as a pic of the book itself will show. Please find and friend me on Lady Bren's book recommendations, liked quotes, book clubs, book trivia, book lists (books-read-on-cd shelf)

    The Husband's Secret
    5 of 5 stars
    I was supposed to read Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty for my book club but when it wasn't available on Overdrive I decided to read what they did have by its author, and I am pleased I did. A simple summary of the book is this: Wife fi...

    Poor Hamish McBeth. The man simply wants to live as the village's police officer, catch poach fish, take of his dog and cat, and date. He doesn't want promotions. He doesn't want fame and fortune. He doesn't get to live the quie...

    Artifacts
    4 of 5 stars
    I really need to find a way to record how I found a book, especially if it is part of a series and of course if I love it. When I first read the synoposis I thought this was going to be a series similar to the Temperance Brennan ...

    Death of a Valentine
    4 of 5 stars
    I just love Hamish Macbeth. I discovered him last year and any time I can get one of the audio books I pounce. If only the old biddies in Lochdubh would leave Hamish alone and stop bride hunting half of his troubles would fa...

    Hiss and Hers
    3 of 5 stars
    I discovered Agatha Raisin last year and have enjoyed reading those I can discover on audio. This one wasn't that great a find. It is the 23rd book in the series and while I haven't read them all the characters in this story feel as ...

    Birds of a Feather
    4 of 5 stars
    Birds of a Feather is the second book in the Maisie Dobbs series. Usually at this point I am longing for another book or done with the series. As I've given the book 4 stars ~ I'm going to be reading more. Maisie Dobbs is a unique ...

    Maisie Dobbs

    I completely enjoyed meeting Maisie Dobbs. I also enjoyed the way Miss Winspear told the story, intertwining the history of her characters throughout the book. I look forward to reading the rest of the books in the series

    Neil Patrick Harris: Choose Your Own Autobiography
    4 of 5 stars
    What could be better than reading NPH? Listening to him read his autobiography! The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is that the "Choose Your Own Adventure Autobiography" doesn't work well in the audio format. I also didn't car...

    Leaving Time: A Novel
    5 of 5 stars
    Wow I truly enjoyed this book immensely. I saw how some people were put off by all of the elephant information however that was incredibly interesting to me. I went into this book a bit blind. In fact I didn't even realize that the c...

    The Escape
    3 of 5 stars
    When we read in the first John Puller book that his brother was incarcerated I knew a book about his escape would be in the future and here we are. This is the first David Baldacci book that I struggled to get through. There were ...

    The Templar Legacy
    4 of 5 stars
    This is FICTION. I don't understand why people get their panties in a wad over works of fiction as many have with this series as they do with many of Dan Brown's works. Moving on... I enjoy the character of Cotton Malone. He'...
