Book # 28 in 2013

The Life List by Lori Nelson Spielman.

Feel good story about a woman who reclaims her life after her mom dies and makes her inheritance contingent on the changes.  Surprised at the lack of anger at mom, but otherwise ok.  Chick-lit for sure.

4 stars as chick-lit.

Book #27 in 2013

Mistress by James Patterson and David Ellis.

Ben Casper, creator of a popular news website, and also a report for it, is drawn into a mystery involving the death of his friend, Diana, Russians, Chinese, and the CIA.  Ben spends most of the time running for his life.

At times, I felt like the book had too much action.  There was no place to rest and digest the story.  The second half seemed to drag a bit in comparison, but was a welcome relief to me.

3 stars.
