Social Animals

book cover


Three women meet at a dog park, seemingly by accident, but two of them have ulterior motives for befriending the third. Interesting book about friendship, trust, loneliness with a bit of mystery thrown in.

A Taste For Vengeance
by Martin Walker

book cover


This was a mystery. A missing British woman Monica Felder fails to show up in France for a cooking class. Chief of Police, Bruno discovers she was accompanied by an Irish man and now both are found dead. She has been stabbed, and it looks like he has hung himself. This seemed very interesting. However, there were so many characters, some British, some French and some American that I had a difficult time keeping them straight. In addition since it took place in France, there were quite a few French phrases, which was frustrating since I don't speak the language.

A very interesting blend of mystery and archaeology. I enjoyed the main characters and some of the others. This is the 1st book in a series; I look forward to reading the next one.

Fahrenheit-182

I liked this book and I am not a fan of memoirs. What made this one different is that I'm a big blink182 fan and knew a lot of the stories but got a more inside look. Marks life is full of struggle and success. It was interesting to read about stories that occurred during times I lived through and some I remember happening, rather than just history. A true modern life of punk rock. Teaching us reconciliation can come from strife and that passion pays off.

I knew I would enjoy this story once I realized it was about a dog park and yes, I did find it to be entertaining. I laughed at the way the dog owners tried to "humanize" the dogs. There were several surprising elements and if you do read it, be sure to read the Epilogue at the end. I do recommend this book as a fun fast read.

The Housewife

I found this thriller to be a light read but a little far fetched at times when it came to the main character, Jodi. I found it a little annoying regarding the things she got away with. It definitely kept my interest and kept me guessing at times.
