Once upon a time I use to post about my book reading. Some how I have gotten out of the habit. Not that I have gotten a ton of books read this year, but here is what I have gotten read. I think my reviews ended with No. 2. I am not going to take up the space or time to review them all.
"Pontoon" by Garrison Keillor was a book on cd and I could easily listen to Mr. Keillor talking for quite some time. Frequently, I would be driving down the road laughing my head off. Wonder what the other drivers thought? :p
"Carpe Jugulum" by Terry Pratchett is part of his Discworld series, and a GREAT one. It was the Witches having to deal with vampires.
"The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" by Stieg Larsson was GREAT, until the last page. I was like NOOOOOOOOO, you can't end it that way. :o
Those were probably the best of the last nine that I have read.

Book List 2015:

1. The Gestapo by Carsten Dams & Michael Stolle
2. Where the Boys Are by William J. Mann
3. The Kingdom Keepers: The Insider by Ridley Pearson
4. Ten Big Ones by Janet Evanovich
5. Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie
6. Eleven on Top by Janet Evanovich
7. The Last Continent by Terry Pratchett
8. The Best Little Boy in the World by John Reid
9. Pontoon by Garrison Keillor
10. Carpe Jugulum by Terry Pratchett
11. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson

Kind of trying to pick different things. It does get easy picking books from a certain series or two. :) Especially as they are generally quicker reads. :p

Oh you read a LOT! That is very cool, I love to read :-)
I kept meaning to read your #11 Girl w/DT but I never did and now I am glad I did not as I like good endings, lol.

Hugz,
Helen

This really isn't a lot for me. I had being really pokey this year. :p

The main ending is REALLY good, it's just the minor story line that was disappointing. I would recommend it. It's a good book. :)
Hopefully the other two will be as good. :)

Not really. Parts of it were kind of historically interesting, but it felt a little to therapy driven.
