Book Reviews from Investigate Some Good Books participants Dream Giver by Bruce Wilkinson: Excellent book encouraging everyone to go after their dreams! Lisey's Story by Stephen King: I find it amazing that Stephen King can take those bizarre thoughts--the ones that come into your mind, unbidden, that you would never even mention to another sane person--and uses them to build an entire fictional universe. Bringing Elizabeth Home by Ed and Lois Smart: Touching story about the 2002 Elizabeth Smart case. A story of one family's struggle to survive. Bluegate Fields by Anne Perry: Another great Thomas Pitt mystery. Pitt again finds himself mired in a murder in the seedier London district, facing yet again an uncooperative superior officer, and fighting doubts in his own mind that the man who was tried and convicted of murder really did commit the crime. Charlotte, Emily, and Aunt Vespasia quite naturally play into the investigations famously. White Night of St. Petersburg by Prince Michael of Greece: Awesome, ture story of Nicholas Romanov, of the famous Russian Romanov's. Prince Michael is a masterful story teller and he paints a fascinating picture of Nicholas' life and times. I could not put this book down. 4:52:34 PM     News from Investigate Some Good Books: Hackley Public Library's Summer Reading Club for Grownups Investigate Some Good Books is pleased to announce that Shy person #6, Vicki Sherwood, and Diane Degrazia won prizes in the last week of the Club.
