Gotta Love a Free, Fun Read!

The Music of the SpheresThe Music of the Spheres by Elizabeth Redfern


My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Set in 18th c. London, this novel is a nice blend of history, mystery, astronomy, and the English-French struggle. Jonathan Absey works for the Home Office monitoring foreign correspondence when a rash of murders distracts him from his duties...or gets tangled amidst his duties! Why is he so obsessed with the murders of red-headed prostitutes in the dark alleys of London? Because his own daughter was the first victim!

I was lucky enough to pull this book out of the freebie bin at school. That's pretty cheap entertainment.

Remember High School, Anyone?

Don't You Forget About Me Don't You Forget About Me by Jancee Dunn


My rating: 3 of 5 stars


High school reunion, divorce, and moving back home with the parents cause Lillian to revisit her high school confidence issues. It's interesting how we like to think we leave the high-school drama behind us,but it rears its ugly head when we feel slighted, regardless of our age!

A Steam Punk Virgin

The Iron Duke (Iron Seas, #1)The Iron Duke by Meljean Brook


My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I've read a little steam punk in the past. I just didn't know it! This is the first book in the genre that I've purposely picked because of the genre. With that said, I enjoyed it for good escape reading (listening--audio version) and will probably continue with the series. I must say that I DO like my pirates (close eyes and picture Johnny Depp!).
