Circus Galacticus was a page turner! It's exciting and full of wonderful characters and kept me guessing until the very end (which is a rarity in books). What a wonderful new world to explore and I hope to read more about them all. Ms. Fagan does a wonderful job with creating a main character to relate to and to struggle with as she has to make tough decisions. I would recommend this book to any young reader who dreams of space adventures or even feels like they don't belong.
I really enjoyed this the 5th in the series. It's been quite a while since I had read one of this series and I continually found myself in awe with the world that Jasper Fforde has created. As a person who likes artistic endeavors I find myself a bit covetous of this original idea. So glad I have the 6th book on my shelf to read next! I picked up the first book in the series, The Eyre Affair on a whim, read it, loved it so much that I read the entire book out loud to my husband while on road trips and we've kept it a tradition ever since! Highly recommend this author!

And the saga of Stephanie Plum continues with this book. Ms. Evanovich finds cleaver fiascos for Stephanie and the supporting wacky characters I love were all there in all their glory. The tension between Ranger - Stephanie - and Morelli is steamy and I can't help but like both males for the qualities. Would definitely recommend this because it is laugh out loud funny.

This is a glimpse it Ms. Burnett's past that is filled with the icons that most of us only dream about knowing better. Lucille Ball, Tim Conway, Cary Grant, Julie Andrews, and more. The chapters flew by and I can only say that I wished the book was longer. The book at times is laugh out loud funny and makes me wish we could watch all those great variety shows again!

"The False Friend" was a haunting story that kept me reading through the last chapter to find out how it ended. Celia is a complex character and you can't help but feel her distress and determination for the truth. All supporting characters are rich with their own personalities and problems that are realistic and complex. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
