Five out of seven is not bad!

Did I ask for some good new books? Well, I found them at least for a week!
“On account of conspicuous women” by Dawn Shamp happens in 1920 and is the story of four women: Bertie a feminist, Ina a school teacher who was widowed in her honeymoon, Doodle a farmer girl and Bertie’s cousin, a girl who think modernism is in wearing the latest fashion. At the end, each has learned a lesson and has taken a big step toward independence.
“Miss Pettigrew lives for a day” by Winifred Watson and no! I didn’t see the movie! Anyway the book was great fun. I hope the movie is half as good because I put it in my list!
“Murder melts in your mouth: a Blackbird sisters’ mystery” by Nancy Martin. I love the Blackbird mysteries. In this one Nora’s best friend is entangle in a murder, Nora’s parents are back, Mike is there and not there. Libby is regrouping in a push hotel on someone else money and Emmy is pregnant. Talk about action packed.
Also it looks the series is finally going to end in a book or two.
“The anatomy of deception” by Lawrence Goldstone, a mystery which take place in 1880s. A team of medical students and their professor are trying to find a missing girl and find the killer of one of their colleague.
“Matala” by Craig Holden was boring, a tale of bored spoiled children looking for mischief all over Europe and con men and women doing everything for a little money.
“Enlightenment for idiots” by Anne Cushman was a cliché. Such a waste of time! A yoga instructor with a messed up life goes to India to find enlightenment. She is commissioned to write a travel book and keeps going from one ashram to another and practicing strange disciplines all over India. Her trip is caught short because she is pregnant by her on n’ off irresponsible boyfriend. She comes back, gives birth, turns in her book later than deadline and still has not found enlightenment. The moral lesson: stay right where you are.
My conclusion: take responsibility and get your act together before going on spiritual journeys!
“Dragons wild” by Robert Asprin. Oh gosh, this book was good, better than good, it was great. It was fun and entertaining; the story was well written and new. Loved the characters and the setting too! Imagine, it was happening in French Quarters in New Orleans and you get to take nightly strolls on the Moonwalk. How fun! Anyway, college graduate Griffen and his sister Valerie found out that they are the last of pure breed dragons and are in danger because other powerful dragons want to kill them or force them to join their organizations. Griffter (Griffen’s nickname) and Val escape to New Orleans, learn about their new powers and find a support group and yes, do illegal gambling! It is a great read. I recommend it to everyone, guys and gals both will enjoy it!
