ApparentParadox finished reading The Bookstore Sisters by Alice Hoffman
Very fast read. Some of the descriptions are very nice, but overall just an OK book.
Reviews and Comments
GWM living in Oregon.I used to love books that would really stretch me, but lately I've needed more solace from the books that I read.
My ratings are as follows: * 5 stars: it's truly a great book, and I'll want to re-read it again and again. * 4 stars: it's a good book, and I enjoyed reading it. I'll probably re-read it. * 3 stars: It's a fine book, just not special. I may re-read it if I'm looking to just relax and not have to think, but I would probably pick up a new book instead. * 2 stars: I finished it, but might have given up if I were in a different mood. * 1 star: I didn't enjoy the book and probably didn't finish it. I wouldn't blanketly recommend against it, because it might speak to someone else.

Decent short story
3 stars
It's a decent short story. The characters are mostly well done with the exception of the niece who feels a bit off, especially given her mother's personality.

Enjoyable re-read, but the Kindle version of this book has lots of typos.
ApparentParadox stopped reading The Library of the Dead by T. L. Huchu
Well written book, I'm really enjoying the characters and the world construction seems good. I'm just not in the mood for a post-apocalyptic book right now.

A well written book that is very interesting. I'm just not in the mood for a post-apocalyptic book right now.

ApparentParadox reviewed Jon's Helter Skelter Cold Case by AJ Sherwood (Jon's Mysteries Case, #6)
A good ending to the series
4 stars
It pulls a lot of people in from various books in the series, but in a fairly good way. The mixing of "wedding preparations" and "bad guy stuff" makes the book feel like life -- we have to deal with various things happening all at the same time.

ApparentParadox reviewed Diagnosis Wolf by Macy Blake
Fast read, but enjoyable
4 stars
It's a pretty fast read (basically a novella, not a novel). I enjoyed the characters.
