Always by Nicola Griffith
2.0
I like this author but this book is not my favorite. It seems too much as if it is about the author, for one thing. Not that there's anything wrong with that...but unlike in previous books where Aud (the main character) was definitely a fictional creation, in this book I keep noticing the parallels between her and Nicola Griffith. I do really like all of the information about self-defense in this novel (the character teaches a class.) As a mystery and a love story I find it lacking.
Promise Not to Tell by Jennifer McMahon
5.0
excellent read--very suspenseful. I admired the way that the author gives you details in just the right places--never too much, never too little. It builds from a story into a mystery before you realize it. I will be looking forward to her next book.
My Own Country: A Doctor's Story by Abraham Verghese
3.0
This was a very interesting and moving story. It is the first book that I have read about AIDS. I loved this doctor's open-minded curiosity about and empathy with his patients. Sometimes the graphic medical details were too much for me, but overall I felt very moved by his life story, by the slow way in which his vocation pulls him in deeper and deeper into the experience of pain and death and healing.
Making the Gods Work for You: The Astrological Language of the Psyche by Caroline W. Casey
4.0
I think this is an excellent introduction to astrology. This is a book that I would recommend for beginners.
