Books Read in August, 2012

Summer nights are for reading and I had a week of vacation so there was lots of time to read

 in August.  Following is a list of the books read and my recommendations.

Janet Evanovich –  Pretty much all the same, light summer reading, not recommended if you’re squeamish about language/sexuality talk-but very funny and highly entertaining despite that

·         High Five,

·         Hot Six,

·         Seven up,

·         Hard Eight,

·         To the Nines

·         Ten Big Ones

John Dunning –   Great series about an ex-cop turned bookstore owner/book scout-lots of information about books and interesting mysteries

·         Booked to Die

·         The Bookman’s Wake

Robert Parker – Jesse Stone novels- I’m hooked on the TV movies starring Tom Selleck so decided to read the books.  Good mysteries and great character development about an alcoholic police chief in a small town of Paradise where things are never quite as they seem and murder happens on a regular basis.

·         Night Passage

·         Stone cold

And finally for something completely different I read

• the Disciplined Life by Calvin Miller. 

He passed away in August the day after I had downloaded this small book to read.   Everything by Calvin Miller is worth reading and I highly recommend it.
