Night Moves/Night shield - Nora Roberts

on Wednesday, June 17, 2009

It's a book with two stories in it.

Night Moves is all about Maggie and Cliff. Maggie is a celebrated singer who comes to settle down in a small town. Cliff is the landscaper who is called in for her garden. And it's a story about a dead man found in the garden, who was murdered 10 years ago. Old skeletons tell some tales! :)

Night shield is about the detective Allison who is assigned to a case involving crimes at Jonas' club. She has to enter as a waitress and has to find out who is the inside man :)

Both stories were good! As always, Nora keeps her readers delighted

After Dark - Haruki Murakami

on Monday, June 15, 2009

It's a very different style of writing. One I haven't read before. Was suggested by my friend and I thought what the heck let me try his writing. I can't say I liked it a lot. But I did enjoy the book.

There is a main character Mari and people who she meets , out which Takahashi also plays a major role. The story describes the events on a single night and how the night ends with the dawn approaching. I don't want to give out details of the book then you would lose the interest to read it. :)

The three fates - Nora Roberts

on Saturday, June 13, 2009

I really loved this novel :) It starts out with the statue of the three fates - Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos. The thread of life is spun upon Clotho's spindle, measured by the rod of Lachesis and finally snipped by the shears of Atropos, the inevitable one.

The family of Sullivans tries to unite these three statues together which are missing since quite some time. All in all, lovely novel and a good mythology woven together.

Beyond compare - Candace Camp

Nice romance novel :) I like romances so I liked this book too :) It is between Rafe ( an American) and Kyria ( Scottish or Irish I forget ) and how they both must be together and help unravel the mystery of a box mysteriously delivered to her by a man who was killed while delivering it to her.

Sisterchicks say ooh la la,Sisterchicks down under - Robin Jones Gunn

Lovely novels :) These are the kinds of things that I would want to do too! The novel usually starts out with a woman having some kind of a situation and how another lady helps her out with it and they become sisterchicks! Sisterchick is sort of a friend cum sister cum buddy with whom you could confide in and the adventures that they have together is something that I always wanted to do with my girl friends :)
Going out probably camping or to a new touristy place where the language spoken is not English eheheh those would be the sort of adventures I am looking forward to

Secrets, Whispers, Sunsets - Robin Jones Gunn

Lovely series of novels. I liked this series because the person connects with God in this. Someone faces a problem and the problem is resolved through normal ways and connection with God. It really felt like something that happens in daily life
