Book #35 in 2014
Stuffology 101: Get Your Mind Out of the Clutter by Brenda Avadian and Eric Riddle.
Self-helpy decluttering book. A bit campy at times, but very helpful. I especially liked the idea of "temporal" clutter: those thoughts and distractions that keep you from focusing on and achieving your goals.
I would like to re-read this in the future.
4 stars.

Book #34 in 2014
Burn by James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge.
Detective Michael Bennett, et al are back in New York City. The usual Patterson. Not sure why I finished it or why I even pick up his books anymore. This one had the added benefit of a disgusting cannibalism plot.
3 stars.

Book #33 in 2014 (Audio)
The Girls' Guide to Love and Supper Clubs by Dana Bate. Read by Meredith Mitchell.
Kind of a rambling story about the life of Hannah Sugarman as she moves from a career in economics (that she hates) to cooking (which her parents think is silly).
I liked the story and the characters and the reader's voice.
4 stars.

Book #32 in 2014
Pawing Through the Past by Rita Mae Brown and Sneaky Pie Brown.
Someone is killing off members of the Crozet High class of 1980, just as the 20th reunion is coming up.
Book was ok and the mystery was kind of a surprise, but as usual, there were so many characters, I get confused. My favorite part is always the talk among the animals.
3 stars. It might have been higher if I wasn't reading the books out of order.

Book #30 in 2014 (Audio)
The Gilly Salt Sisters by Tiffany Baker. Read by Angela Brazil.
The story of two sisters on the Massachusetts coast. Claire and Jo grow up on the family salt farm, but only Jo embraces the life as an adult. After much floundering, Claire eventually returns to the farm.
I was disappointed in this after reading Mercy Snow, which I thought was excellent. I never really got attached to any of the characters in the story.
