Titles from the last month

I will eventually (maybe) get around to writing actual reviews of these books, but I haven't had time (been too busy reading!) ...

these are some of the titles I've read this last month (in no particular order) ...

if you're curious for more info jot me a note ...

The Pink Carnation - Lauren Willig
The Black Tulip - Lauren Willig (I liked both of these and plan to continue reading the series ... does get a bit risque')

Confessions of an Economic Hitman - John Perkins (excellent info, but really scary proof -assuming he's legit- about what our government is up to around the world)

Gods Behaving Badly - Marie Phillips (humorous idea gone bad ...)

Bloodsucking Fiends - Christopher Moore
You Suck - Christopher Moore (author came highly recommended to me ... vampire trash novels, essentially ... Moore is witty, but I could've used that few hours doing something else)

Mr. Monk Goes To The Firehouse - Lee Goldberg
Mr. Monk Goes To Hawaii - Lee Goldberg
Mr. Monk And The Blue Flu - Lee Goldberg (based on character in the TV show "Monk" ... easy, light read, have enjoyed them all)

Lord of the Flies - William Golding (rather horrific tale of how mankind behaves ... wasn't easy for me to stomach some of the scenes ... )

How Not To Look Old - Charla Krupp (I LOVE THIS BOOK ... especially when she breaks down things like a good haircut cost per day over a year ... I still shun some of her advice even tho she's probably right)

Beethoven's Letters - Ludwig Von Beethoven (I adore most anything Beethoven)

Your Best Life Now - Joel Olsteen (really like this guy)

Johnny Depp: A Modern Rebel - Brian J. Robb (I love Johnny Depp, what can I say? I appreciate realness -true stories, quotes, etc- but if you don't, skip this one)

Jane Boleyn: The True Story Of The Infamous Lady Rochford - Julia Fox (terribly difficult to keep people straight, but fascinating and informative)
