17. The Bone Thief - Jefferson Bass

I look forward to each one of these books and read them far too fast when I get my hands on them! Bass keeps the events real and unpredictable, a welcome change from some other mystery series. Read 21APR10 - 12MAY10.

16. Eye of the Red Tsar - Sam Eastland

This book, I would read again. I rarely do that, but the twists and turns kept me guessing. Just when I really thought I had things figured out, a new bubble of information would rise to the surface and I'd have to rethink it all. I thought the author did a wonderful job of intertwining Pekkala's history with the present time of the book, it was all relative. You really have to pay attention with this one, I truly enjoyed it and am most definitely planning to read the next in the series.

11. Born to Run - Christopher McDougal

When I first started reading reviews of this book on my Kindle, I thought I'd try a sample and see what all the excitement was about. I soon purchased the rest of the book and kept reading. I am trying to get myself into running, and this book may have done it. It wasn't only a great read, it was a motivating read. I have been plagued with knee injuries and plantar fascitis for several years now, and this book helped me understand why! I need to learn how to run properly! If you are a runner or want to be a runner, I would strongly suggest you read this book. It has definitely changed my attitude toward running.

10. Blind Eye - Stuart MacBride

I absolutely LOVE this author! The creativity of the crime scenes, and the vivid description of injuries makes me cringe! That's not too easy to do, and I enjoy every page of his books~can't wait for the next one!

9. Eat to Live - Joel Fuhrman

This was the first diet/health book that I've really read all the way through. The author makes several valid points, and notes several studies to support his points. I am not yet willing to go vegan, but I am now paying much closer attention to the food that I am eating, and making an effort to eat more raw fruits/veggies.

6. Frames - Loren D. Estleman

The first in the series, and YES, I actually read something out of order for once. Lucky for me, the second book explained just enough about this one that made me want to read this one, but didn't leave me behind by reading the second one first. Wow, did that even make sense? Anyway, these are quick reads, with a ton of movie history research done to put them together. I'm not much for classic movies, but I certainly appreciate them now.

5. Eleven On Top - Janet Evanovich

What can you say about Stephanie Plum? The characters get better with each installment and the author never fails to make me laugh out loud while reading, or listening. Grandma Mazur is my favorite character of the series, with Ranger a close second.

4. Lord of the Silent - Elizabeth Peters

This was book 13 in the series and I have enjoyed them all so far. I listen to them on CD in my vehicle and love the narrator: Barbara Rosenblat. She does a fantastic job with the voices and makes each character come alive.
