Book Reviews from participants in the Pollinate Your Mind Summer Reading Club Touch of Madness by C. T. Adams and Cathy Clamp: Weird, riveting. Anthony Bourdain No reservations by Anthony Bourdain: If you love the show, you'll love the book! Lots of great pictures and Athony's commentary is as interesting as usual. His Mistress by Morning by Ellizabeth Boyle: 5 Stars Sudden Change of Heart by Barbara Taylor Bradford: Riveting! Curse as dark as gold by Elizabeth Bunce: Started out ok, didn't grab me until the end. Gentlemen of the Road by Michael Chabon: Loved it! It's historical fiction, well-written, fast-paced. I'm going to look for more books by this author. Iced by Carol Higgins Clark: Suspensful and at times humorous. This is a re-read forme. Inow like her mother's work as well (Mary Higgins Clark). All through the night by Mary Higgins Clark: Just the right amount of suspense. I like her daughter's work (Carol Higgins Clark) but never realized her mother was as good. Let me call you sweetheart by Mary Higgins Clark: She's one of my favorite authors. This is a good crimedrama, many twists and turns until the very end! Rogue by Claire Delacroix: 5 Stars. I was up all night to finish reading it, couldn't put it down. 3:52:01 PM     Error Messages for Windows The next time you get an error message from Windows you will want to have this handy program installed.
