Life's a Beach by Claire Cook

Forty-one year old Ginger is living in her parents' garage while she's still figuring out what to do with her life.

I didn't expect to like this as much as I did. 

4 stars.

Furious by T.R. Ragan

Suburban mom will find her children's kidnappers even when the police can't.  Except that she doesn't.  Or maybe she does in the next book?  Did not realize this was a series with no ending to this story.

2.5 stars. 

The Butterfly Girl by Rene Denfeld

Woman who escaped captivity when she was nine, now devotes herself to finding the sister she was forced to leave behind. 

4 stars.

Redhead by the Side of the Road by Anne Tyler

Micah Mortimer is living a small life.  By the end of the book, it might be expanding a bit. 

Typical Anne Tyler, nothing really happens.  But that's okay.

5 stars

Gwendy's Magic Feather by Richard Chizmar

The sequel to Gwendy's Button Box by Stephen King (with Richard Chizmar).

Very enjoyable story.  I took off a star because of the weird power Gwendy briefly has when she touches something.  That seemed to come out of nowhere.

4 stars.

The Guardians by John Grisham

A small non-profit works to free innocent people in prison.  

3.5 stars.

Most Wanted by Lisa Scottoline

Christine thinks her sperm donor is a recently captured serial killer.

Stupid premise and a stupid protagonist. 

2.5 stars.
