I needed to read a book published in 2000. I chose to re-read the Anna Pigeon-Park Ranger series selection #8 which met that criterion. It was a fun and informative read. I miss having a new Anna Pigeon book annually!!

I used this book for the agricultural [farming/gardening] Brutus Bingo square and found it to be a fun read. This is my first exposure to anything by Sandler - I especially enjoyed the British setting and the language differences from the English spoken here in the States. I also enjoyed the restoration gardening project and learning more about orchids. My favorite characters had to be the cats and dogs!!

A truly fun read about some of the Summer Olympic/Paralympic sports and a diverse group of athletes spanning the last 100 years or so. I enjoyed it and also learned about various sports!

This historical novel dramatizes the story of a real young man who is in the first class of Native Americans to graduate from Harvard University in the 1600s, told from the viewpoint of a white minister’s daughter who grows up on a small island and befriends the young man as a child. Together they encounter many obstacles in reaching their goals, and realities of the time often thwart their plans. Interesting details and plot twists keep it moving.

This is the first in the new Rory Moore/Lane Phillips series. I have now read all of Charlie Donlea's crime thrillers and they do not disappoint. Rory is a forensic reconstructionist and her work with cold case homicides is remarkable!! I liked the use of multiple timelines and POVs and was intrigued by her restoration of porcelain dolls.

Just as good as the previous. A fundraiser for the 3 angels church ens up with Verity's friend falling to her death from the newly restored bell tower. She had just gotten ready to give Verity a photo of her and Verity''s grandma. The photo mysteriously disappears and the adventures begin.

Hunting Badger finds Leaphorn and Chee working 2 angles of the same case. Each is trying to catch the militia men who pulled off a violent heist at an Indian casino

Multiple perspectives, multiple tenses, many characters… a great read. The content and story are so disturbing but left me on the edge of my seat wanting to keep reading.

Verity digs into the cold case of Kitty Cunningham who disappeared on the way to the drive-in. It links to avmodern crime.

This was more of an advertisement for AA or NA than a memoir. Very repetitive and boring.
