ObedienceObedience by Will Lavender
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book got me thinking. I had not predicted the ending and spent time wondering how would this all come out in the end. I read the book in one day because I wanted to know if the class would solve the mystery.

The Secret of Saying ThanksThe Secret of Saying Thanks by Douglas Wood
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This beautifully illustrated book reminds us of all we have to be thankful for. The book is best summed up by this line, "The more we say thanks, the more we find to be thankful for. And the more we find to be thankful for, the happier we become." A great book for Thanksgiving or anytime you need a reminder to be thankful!

Shakespeare's Counselor (A Lily Bard Mystery, #5)Shakespeare's Counselor by Charlaine Harris

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Enjoy the Lily Bard series.  Lily is a tough, but lovable character. As Lily has opened herself up to new relationships and become more involved in the community of Shakespeare, she is becoming a more well-rounded character that I want to get to know better.  The Shakespeare books will keep you guessing until the end.
