The All-Girl Filling Station's Last Reunion by Fannie Flagg
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a book club book that I would have passed on. I'm so glad I read it. It is a pleasure to read and has several aspects that are interesting and fun. The characters seemed larger than life and incredibly real. Come to find out they were based on real people and some real events. I loved it. Easy to read and with quite a lot of good personal philosophy that is worth reading. How does a grown up grow and change as a person? Can a grown person really change? What makes good parenting? Worth the read. Enjoy!

The Money Shot by Stuart Woods
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Nothing much new here but Stuart Woods is my favorite read. His books are delightfully clever with interesting characters. This one has a great plot, dark humor. I just laughed at the end. I can't wait for the next.

An Incomplete Revenge by Jacqueline Winspear
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A little like reading the history of Britain between the wars. Fascinating look at that era with a remarkable set of characters. I love the plot, setting and sense of the story. These are remarkable books.

Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow, this is a book club book. I loved it. Its so beautifully written and the story unfolds so carefully that frankly, I could not put it down. A sad story that has so many tender and reflective moments. Don't take my word for it, read it. Don't read any reviews, just sit down and read it. Let the story wash over you and unfold for you. Better than knowing about it. I just hope Ms Honeyman has a long career and writes a lot more books. I'll line up for her next.

Turbulence by Stuart Woods
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a joy to read, sex, action and a touch of Stuart Woods humor. A very pleasant few days. I wish he would write six books a year. Alas, I now have to wait for Stone Barrington's next adventure and lover.
The character is so far fetched as to be unbelievable until Woods adds his personality, which makes him a real person.

People ask what I like about this author. I think its the many ways her weaves real life into this fantasy of wealth and beautiful people. I look forward to characters reappearing as the story unfolds. My guess is senator Box will come along in the next book. I'll be dissappointed if Stone doesn't deal with that slimeball.

The Other Woman by Daniel Silva
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Of course I liked it, l have liked all of Daniel Silva's books. This one seemed special to me. I felt like the story was almost too real. I guess in this world, today, the reality is so far fetched as to make the newspaper read like a novel. It is fitting then that parts of a good novel might feel like a newspaper. Gabriel is still the main character but in this edition, the plot and subtext seems to be the main focus. I can't wait for the next masterpiece. Thanks Daniel Silva for a great read and some things to think about.
