Book #23 in 2012

Hold Tight  by Harlan Coben.  Read by Scott Brick.

12 hours.

When the parents of a teenager start spying on him via his computer, they get more than they bargained for.

Fast moving, lots of plots that get joined together at the end.

4 stars.

Book #22 in 2012

Still Alice by Lisa Genova.

Excellent, heartbreaking look at a successful woman's decline after she develops Early Onset Alzheimers.

5 stars.  Highly recommend.

Book #21 in 2012 (Audio)

Live to Tell by Lisa Gardner.  Various readers.

13.5 hours.

Another novel featuring Sgt. D.D. Warren of the Boston Police Dept.  Can two family annihilations be connected?

I found the Victoria character to be tedious and annoying.  Otherwise, I enjoyed the book and the various readers - something which usually annoys me.

4 stars.

Book #20 in 2012

Casting About by Terri Dulong.

More about the characters from Spinning Forward.  Kind of a yawner about newlywed Monica whose world is upended when her 8 year old step daughter comes to live with her and her new husband.

Feel good tripe.

3 stars as chick lit.

Book #19 in 2012

Knit One, Pearl One by Gil McNeil.

More about Jo, the widowed knitting shop owner as she tries to navigate work, family, and friends.  Not very interesting, but enjoyable.  I like Jo's attitude about kids - loves them, but they are not ZOMG! the specialist snowflakes ever!

4 stars as knitty chick-lit.
