Darkness PeeringDarkness Peering by Alice Blanchard
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $0.01
This was a great thriller. Only two reasons I wouldn't give it 5 stars: - Some of the dialogue, particularly around the love interest, was quite stilted. - I can't figure out why the little turtle thing was found where it was. ??
Neither Here nor There: Travels in EuropeNeither Here nor There: Travels in Europe by Bill Bryson
Buy new: $10.17 / Used from: $1.98
Made me want to travel Europe! Some typical Bryson humor, but would have preferred more comments on characters he came upon during his travels.
Mother Teresa: Come Be My Light - The Private Writings of the Saint of CalcuttaMother Teresa: Come Be My Light - The Private Writings of the Saint of Calcutta by Mother Teresa
Buy new: $15.61 / Used from: $12.10
Took a while to get through, but some great insight into a woman who soon be a Saint.
What Paul MeantWhat Paul Meant by Garry Wills
Buy new: $11.90 / Used from: $0.09
Pretty complex, but some good historical info and theological insight here. Probably need to read it again with a Bible and a highlighter.
A Salty Piece of LandA Salty Piece of Land by Jimmy Buffett
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.01
A so-so book by Jimmy Buffett. The characters had the potential to be interesting, but were thinly drawn and lost in a wandering plot.
