Books 17, 18, 19 and 20

The Accidental Tourist - Anne Tyler

The timing of reading this book couldn't possibly have been more opportune, as it deals with separation. I could really relate to the protagonist, Macon Leary, as he struggled to come to terms with his wife's departure, and took heart as he grew - slowly and uncomfortably - into his new life.

Blood Brothers - Nora Roberts

The first in the Sign of the Seven trilogy. I love Roberts' writing as JD Robb, so I figured I'd give her main writing persona a shot. A well-written novel, though not as plot-twisty as I would have liked ... doesn't mean I won't round out the trilogy in time, just that I prefer her Eve Dallas 'In Death' series.

Eleven on Top - Janet Evanovich

Another great Stephanie Plum book. Laugh-out-loud funny but still a well developed mystery. I'm finding myself more and more drawn to Ranger instead of the hot cop, Morelli, too.

The Girls Guide to Hunting and Fishing - Melissa Bank

"Beautiful and funny and sad and true", one of my favorite lines from the book captures its essence. A fast read, but an enjoyable one.
