Finish Line?
And here is the last one on my List, although I may try to sneak another one in here ;^)
Lemon Tart by Josi Kilpack
Reading this culinary mystery is comparable to baking/cooking with kids in the kitchen...
There's a lot of energy, every time you turn around something else you weren't expecting is happening, and it ends/you run out of time quite abruptly!
It's a fun one to read, and I would recommend it to anyone who likes a good mystery!

I like to read ;^)
Hello again! It only took me a few hours to read the next book on my List! I just might get to finish this for the summer... how fun!
One Last Chance by Jerry Borrowman
This book caught my attention with the first sentence and kept it. There were moments where it seemed to drag, but that may have been the un-numbered interruptions brought by my 3 children ages 5, 4 and 1 - which is normal, it just made the book seem longer.
I appreciated Artie and his showing how you can have more than one kind of friend and even supposed friends and that they are not always necessarily the best choice that will lead to making better choices, but that you are never stuck and you CAN change and really be the person you want to be/are meant to be.
I felt it ended rather abruptly, but then Artie had gotten to the point where he had learned what he needed to and that's usually where the story ends right? I think I'll read this one again just to see what I think the second time around...

Next!
Here I am once a again, with another review from my SRT 2009 list of books.
There may end up being spoilers as this one comes together, so if you haven't read it yet, be warned! ;^)
Shelter from the Storm by Anita Stansfield
I have long been a fan, with many years invested in the reading and acquiring copies of, everything written by Anita Stansfield.
I absolutely loved The Sound of Rain (the first book in this storyline), and wished that the 3 books could have been printed together in one book - that way I wouldn't have had to wait for the next part at all.
So imagine my surprise to find out the story... continues! What a surprise and it was great!
I know it's fiction, but I really enjoy "watching" Jayson create his music, I may have mentioned this before, but I generally "see" the story the I am reading unfold like a movie in my head and there were times I could almost hear Jayson's music. Also, in this particular book the struggle and difficulty he has with a particular situation in the story, and how he can't figure out why it is so hard and why it is affecting him so completely is just so real.
This is definitely a book I enjoyed and a book I would read again, this set is one to read! ;^)
AND!!! This past week I was delightfully surprised again with the discovery/news that there is another chapter to Jayson's story... The Silence of Snow, on it's way to stores. Excellent! ;^)

SRT 2009 Update
2 more down and 3 to go! Although, the reading has been a bit of a challenge with the unexpected move, so I may not finish my list this month... ;^)
I had the pleasure of reading Shadow of the Crown and All the Stars in Heaven in the past couple of weeks. Neither one turned out to be what I was expecting, and I loved that! Although, I don't generally have a book pegged before I finish reading it, these 2 just happened to follow a different story line than I was expecting... ;^)
I would recommend both books to someone looking for a good read!
