Water is Wide by Pat Conroy: A maverick connects with a classroom of children on an isolated island. Creative and descriptive but heavily sprinkled with profanity. Hard Eight by Janet Evanovich: Stephanie Plum again solves her FTA dilemmas in funny, innovative, and sometimes dangerous ways. Throw in her sexy ex-boyfriend and her even sexier mentor, and you have another entertaining, sometimes hilarious, Stephanie Plum story. Wife for Hire by Janet Evanovich: Once again Evanovich makes you laugh at the most common everyday things that can happen. This was not one of Evanovich's best works, but still a good piece of "fluff" for an afternoon read. World is Flat by Thomas Friedman: Shameless CEO name dropper. Rather boring after the first few chapters. I couldn't get through it. Peculiar Treasures by Robin Jones Gunn: A fun college age book that reads pretty quick and is a fun summer story. A nice clean romance. 11:20:41 AM
