O Pioneers!

Read for a book discussion. At first it very much felt like required school reading, but eventually I became more interested. The last quarter was strange, IMO.
Title:
Paradise (Second Opportunities, Bk 1) (re-read)

Re-read just because. I admittedly skimmed some at the beginning.
Title:
Remember When (Foster Saga, 2) (re-read)

After reading
Paradise, I had a need to re-read this one.
Title:
Tell Me No Lies (re-read)
Author: Elizabeth Lowell [

aka Ann Maxwell
This was in the same box as the Judith McNaught books and appealed. I couldn't remember much of the story, just that I had liked it when I initially read it and the one time I re-read it before.

Heroes Are My Weakness

The title caught my interest. But it turns out I enjoyed it. I liked the ventriloquist thing. And quite frankly I liked Annie. Though the big bad secret from the past was weird (kinda horrible, really). And I guessed parts of the history in question before it was revealed. I wasn't especially happy about the other stuff going on, either.

Title:
The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared
Author: Jonas Jonasson [
Website]
Read for book club. This was my pick and I was so pleased to find it was hilarious. I loved the historical elements. Allan kinda struck me as a sociopath, but in such a way that I couldn't resist enjoying him and his exploits anyway. Also, the author is Swedish.
