The Hanged Man's Song (Kidd) by John Sandford Amazon Price: $7.99
Customer Review: Both in character development and in plot, this is not up to Sandford's usual strength. Much of the plot limps along with inept episode after inept episode, while the finale, with mysterious black vigalentes pulled mysteriously out of nowhere, is simply implausible. All this is a pity since ome of the main points of the book can therefore be overlooked: No information kept of a computer that is linked directly or indirectly through a network to the internet is secure. It can be obtained for illicit purposes and can be manipulated by unauthorized people. All that is much more scary than the villain of this piece whose motives and personality are largely left blank. Sandford is an engaging write, but this is one to read only if you have already exhausted the large supply of better novels by him.
Songs in Ordinary Time (Oprah's Book Club) by Mary McGarry Morris Amazon Price: $10.20
Customer Review: This novel tells the story of the down-and-out Fermoyle family. Living in Vermont in the 1960s, Marie Fermoyle and her three children live in poverty and desperation, for more money, more security, and more affection. Marie Fermoyle, a hardened cynic, is so desperate for all of the above that she falls victim to the wiles of a con man. The Fermoyle children are blatantly aware that their mother is being fleeced, but the emotional distance of all the family members makes it difficult for any of them to communicate or to trust one another. As Marie falls deeper under her now-boyfriend's spell it is the Fermoyle children who feel this lack of communication most acutely. The most difficult character in this book is Marie Fermoyle: cold, cynical, and emotionally abusive towards her children, Marie is clearly a woman who has been deeply wounded and is now striking back, albeit at the wrong people. In this book Morris has crafted a deeply complex narrative with fantastic character development. Truly, she has created a whole world in this Vermont town. The characters' lives are richly interwoven with one another, and actions by one reverberate to affect the whole. This is a deeply moving and engaging novel.

Heart Song (Logan Family Series, Bk. 2) by V. C. Andrews Amazon Price: $7.99
Customer Review: In the story, Heart Song, Melody Logan, the main character, was living among what seemed strangers to her. Her mother Haille recently died in a car accident so she has to go live with her relatives on Cape Cod, leaving everyone she knows behind in West Virginia. When she gets there, she finds out that they are strange people and have lots of secrets.
Melody finds out that her cousin Laura Logan just recently died too in a boat accident. At the Logan's house, her Aunt Sarah thought of her as a replacement of her dead daughter, her uncle Jacob thought of her as the devil's daughter, her cousin May who is deaf always seems lost and confused most of the time, and her cousin Cary, who was the only one that really cared for her.
Her cousin Cary finds her a job with a man named Kenneth Childs, he is an artist and her job is to clean his home and studio. Everyone thinks Kenneth Childs is Melody biological father. In the artist's studio, there is a secret room that is always locked. One day, when the artist is gone, Cary comes over and they get suspicious about the room. They open it by screwing the hinges off the door. Melody is very surprised to find pictures of her mom that Kenneth had drew but Melody doesn't say anything about it.
One day, her grandma Olivia tells her that she isn't her real grandmother. Her real grandmother Belinda, was put away in a resting home by her sister Olivia because Olivia makes everyone believe that Belinda is crazy. When Melody discovers who her real grandmother is, goes to visit her and the grandmother tells her secrets that no one in her family knows about.

The story is very interesting because it tells you how a girl has to suddenly grow up when her mom dies and has no body to go to except her relatives that live in a different city and are practically strangers to her and have lots of secrets. It is very exciting to find out how Melody starts to discover the ...

There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly (Books with Holes) Amazon Price: $6.99
Customer Review: I don't remember if there were size dimensions given for this book, but I expected it to be twice the size. I have other books from this author and publisher and they are nice and big and easy for me to use in class. This book is really too small for me to read to my class. I am sadly disappointed.
Home Song by LaVyrle Spencer Amazon Price: Customer Review: This was a pretty good Spencer novel. Not my all-time favorite (that was probably Twice Loved or Then Came Heaven), but this is an older work of hers and it can show in places. Overall I was pretty impressed at the thoroughness that went into the book, characters and situations.
Finding out about an illegitament son 18 years later has a tidal wave effect on the Gardner family- comprised of Tom, Clair, and their two children. You can't help but read on in awe, wondering how this is going to play out, how each of the characters will react etc. It was a pretty fast read for me because I was so involved wondering how this was going to turn out. Happily, I enjoyed the ending which did not feel fake or forced.
I'd recommend Lavyrle Spencer books to a romance lover, family drama reader. Her books are really a bit of both and done with much more finess than most writers in this genre!
