Thanks Vi. Now to look at the picks and find a book to start! I love the beginning of each challenge, when I pick the first book.

Finished Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace ... One School at a Time. Gave it 3*. I kept remembering that there was a controvery about the truthfulness of this book. And, although I had made a point of not listening to the claims, wanting to read the book first, the thoughts about wondering what was not truthful kept bugging me while reading this book. I will now have to dig into the claims.

Next book will be Absolute Fear

Finished The Einstein Pursuit, gave it 4*. It was an undemanding action and adventure story that I really enjoyed.

I think my next one will be The Ghost Map: The Story of London's Most Terrifying Epidemic--and How It Changed Science, Cities, and the Modern World

Finished The Ghost Map: The Story of London's Most Terrifying Epidemic--and How It Changed Science, Cities, and the Modern World

Finished Let the Right One In, film was better.

Finished my second book Absolute Fear. Gave it 4*.

I have chosen Aunt Dimity Down Under for my third book. I had to order it for interlibrary loan, so here is hoping it comes in soon. If not, I will go with Ghost Singer, which I onw. Both are also on my LOST lists.

Finished my third book Aunt Dimity Down Under. Gave it 4*. A delightful fun read. Cozy myztery type of story.
