Violet is now working with Sarah Priest and others with special abilities. Unfortunately her being a part of the group and helping solves murders puts Violet on multiple people's radars that she should have never been on and shes in more danger then she has ever been in before. I have always loved Violets talent and the way that Kimberly has brought it out and used it. Violet has always done great things with it but as part of Sara Priests team she can do more. Violet is growing up and I liked the overall feel of the book now that she is getting older and doing things for herself and making her own decisions with how she wants to use her gifts. Violet and Jay are still very much in love but their relationship isn't front and center like the previous 2 books and we are thrown a bit of a curve ball with Rafe in the picture and very much pining over Violet. Hopefully Jay will be more in the picture for book 4. Just like all the other books in the Body Finder series THE LAST ECHO is full of mystery and suspense. I never know what is coming next and getting there always leaves my heart racing. The twist at the end? Wow wasn't really expecting that to go down that way but it definitely lets us know that there is much more story to come. THE LAST ECHO was a great addition to the series.

Great look at Civil Rights Era (1954-63) that I need to re-read one day.

A story of a German girl who steals books, living outside of Munich during Nazi Germany. The story is narrated by a very human and sympathetic Death who basically steals this book, written by the book thief, from the book thief. It's a very moving story and a gripping read.

This is another book from Jodi Picoult that tackles a tough subject – the cycle of domestic violence. I think that Picoult did a decent job of showing the sides of both the perpetrator of the abuse as well as victim. Many authors would fall into the trend of just looking at it from the victim’s perspective (this is not to say that she in any way indicates that the abuse is right – just gives you a view from both sides of the issue). I think that this is important because it gives you a well-rounded picture. It also allows you to see why people may stay in relationships like this and how they can appear so normal to the rest of the world. Picoult also juxtaposes the two worlds of Hollywood and the Native American reservation of Pine Ridge in South Dakota. These worlds show how very different perspectives can be. It was refreshing after seeing the very materialistic world of Hollywood to spend a little time with a very old culture. It was also interesting from the main character’s perspective because she is an anthropologist who studies cultures – so that gave the reader a different window to see things through. I also enjoyed the mythical tales of the Sioux and hearing about some of their traditions. Based on my experience with previous books by Picoult – I expected more of a “bang” at the ending. This one I sort of saw coming for the last quarter of the book. I thought that it was a very fitting ending – but I was expecting something more shocking. I had one qualm with this novel and it was with the audiobook production. I haven’t actually seen the paperback copy – but I would assume that within each chapter there are section breaks between different aspects of the story that let the reader know that something different is happening. This wasn’t hinted in the narrated version. One section would just flow right into the next and a lot of time I had difficulty dissecting where we were in the story. I am chalking this up to bad production – but I will have to look up this book next time I’m in the bookstore and see if I am justified in this above issue. Maybe it was justified. 4 out of 5 stars for the story. 3.5 out of 5 stars for the audio.

If nothing else, skip down and read these two quotes I've put in. They are the best part of 800 pages of one of the greatest geniuses "ever to write a novel," in some opinions. It takes guts to pick this up; at 800 pages or so--dense pages--you've gotta weigh your resolve. I have not read an author who articulates principles (which are often insights into human nature) with more lucidity, period; however, for me her genius got in the way of her storytelling, rather than enhancing it. I might have better enjoyed a version where her mindblowing philosophy and occasionally moving story were sifted into two books. Here are my two favorite quotes--by far--of her book. The tragedy of it is that if you expect a story to match these quotes, you will have your heart broken. Not that such quotes are any less beautiful: Quote 1 "Nor can I suppose that when Mrs. Casaubon is discovered in a fit of weeping six weeks after her wedding, the situation will be regarded as tragic. Some discouragement, some faintness of heart at the new real future which replaces the imaginary, is not unusual, and we do not expect people to be deeply moved by what is not unusual. That element of tragedy which lies in the very fact of frequency, has not yet wrought itself into the coarse emotion of mankind; and perhaps our frames could hardly bear much of it. If we had a keen vision and feeling of all ordinary human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow and the squirrel's heart beat, and we should die of that roar which lies on the other side of silence. As it is, the quickest of us walk about well wadded with stupidity." Quote 2 "...For the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs."

Shel Silverstein has long been one of my favorite authors of all time. I still have the copy of Where the Sidewalk Ends that my sister gave me on my seventh birthday, my name and the date (5/26/80) written in her pencil handwriting in the front. About a year or so after he died, I thought I heard his voice and saw him walk by the office where I was working and dreaming of the 50-cent books across the street. So, I couldn't resist running out and buying Every Thing on It and devouring it immediately on my lunch break today, far too long after it was released earlier this year. I'm sure things are a bit different, as I read this book nearly 32 years after my first taste, now that I am (or try to be) grown up. But I always knew much of his work was bittersweet, in his quirky way. So, this book was no surprise for me. Silly, clever, odd, and unique. My favorites here are Masks, Horn, Underface, and Openin' Night. As far as past publications, my favorites are Where the Sidewalk Ends, The Giving Tree, and A Light in the Attic. I recommend any of his work to readers of all ages. He was a magical storyteller who is greatly missed.

This is probably my favorite book. And even if it's not, it's what I say to everyone when they ask what my favorite book is. I don't even know what to say about it. It's amazing. It's about blackness in opposition to the white supremacist beauty standard, it's about the concept of the black nuclear family, it's about class, it's about sex, it's about abuse of all kinds. It's amazing.

One of my best friends wrote this simple children's book. I love the illustrations and the message is clear and simple: if you work hard and are grateful, you can achieve great things! Great gift!

After following the Iditarod closely this year, I was in the mood for some dog-related reading. Since I just re-read the Sue Henry series last year, I decided on these books by Susan Conant. I first read this series years ago, they are about a woman who writes articles for Dog's Life magazine and shows malamutes. This first book introduces the writer, her likeable boyfriend and her first malamute Rowdy, whom she inherits from a man in her training club when he is murdered. The characters are likeable and the facts about dog training and care are really interwoven nicely throughout the story. I always learn a lot in these books!
