The Forgotten
The Forgotten by David Baldacci (Adventure, Suspense, Travel, Sports)
I love that Baldacci brought back John Puller for another story. This in Florida and starts out with it being personal, as his aunt has passed away. Her death was natural causes from an accident... or was it natural, an accident or who knows what? As he delves into things,... well, read the book yourself and enjoy and find out! -- Added by k2disos on 02/16/2013

Nice Work If You Can Get It
Nice Work If You Can Get It by Michael Feinstein (Classics, Literary Fiction, Biography)
I have enjoyed reading about Michael Feinstein's life and and especially the beginning of the book where the reader learns about his time with Ira Gershwin and the six years he spent with him. THis book touches on his interactions with other notable and famous musicians, some were pleasant experiences, others... well you read it and decide for yourself. We are lucky that Michael felt such a passion to save so much of our early musical history. An interesting read that sometimes made me wish I knew the music of the 20's and 30's better, so I could value his interactions more. -- Added by k2disos on 02/16/2013

Time of Death
Time of Death by J. D. Robb (Mystery, Horror, Crime, Business, Politics)
I love J D Robb and was surprised that I had not read this anthology yet. It is three novellas about Eve Dallas and the crimes she solves. It was fun to read them and see if I could figure out where they fit in the whole series. I am never disappointed in an Eve Dallas story and these did not let me down. -- Added by k2disos on 02/16/2013

Vengeance Born
Vengeance Born by Kylie Griffin (Science Fiction, Fantasy, Science, Health)
I love this series by Kylie Griffin! In a world of demons and human and their war against each other; come a hybrid demon/human woman with a gift of healing reserved for humans from the Goddess. A human is captured, he may be her only chance for escape, but if successful... will she be allowed to live with humans? And... is this human just a common light wielding soldier or is he someone really important? There are so many wonderful twists and turns and I loved the second in the series and can't wait for the third to come out! A wonderfully great fantasy world to visit! -- Added by k2disos on 02/16/2013

Highland Lover
Highland Lover by Amanda Scott (Romance, Women's Fiction, Relationships, Humor)
This is the third in a series and a thoroughly enjoyable romance novel. Lady Allison MacGillivray is fun and her encounter with Lord Jake Maxwell under the livelihood of a ship's captain is interesting and entertaining. I love how Amanda Scot manages to share a lot of true Scottish history within her stories. A good read! -- Added by k2disos on 02/16/2013

Mistress of Mourning by Karen Harper (Historical Fiction, Westerns, History)
This book is written in the time of Henry VII. It features Varina Westcott and the queen Elizabeth the Good. Varina is a chandler(candle maker and carver of beeswax) she is brought to the queen to do some personal carvings for her. She is then mixed up in a quest to find the truth of the murders of the twin princes by Richard III. Lots of suspense and a great look at the women and their lives in that time period. Readers of Karleen Koen and Philipa Gregory will enjoy. -- Added by k2disos on 01/19/2013
