One of my favorite authors, New York Times bestselling author Tess Gerritsen (Harvest, Bloodstream, The Surgeon, The Sinner, among others) gives us another suspense-filled, action-packed thriller that keeps us riveted from the first page to the last. The Mephisto Club is a story about a serial killer who tortures …

Clinical Ophthalmology, 6th edition by Jack Kanski

I was required to buy Kanski’s Clinical Ophthalmology: A Systemic Approach, 6th edition this year at my optometry school. While at first I was unhappy about having to spend over $200 on the book, I am quite happy with it. It is not just another fat book with far …

Death Match by Lincoln Child

This is the second stand-alone book I’ve read by Lincoln Child. I found this book to be a below average thriller and I correctly guessed the identity of the killer about halfway through. Truthfully, there’s nothing that original about this plot at all - it’s very cliché. Books need …

The Penny novel by Joyce Meyer and Deborah Bedford

I wasn’t sure what to think about this book at first. Joyce Meyer’s books are more of a motivational nature and sometimes she preaches to you. This book was an actual story with references of God and how he helps us in the everday things we do.
It starts …

Misery by Stephen King

I am not a big fan of scary stuff, be that in movies or books, but somehow, when I had come across Stephen King’s “Misery,” the premise of the book intrigued me. The back cover blurb said something like, “an injured writer held hostage by a psychotic nurse.” That …

In the wake of sea serpents By Bernard Heuvelmans

This is quite the tome. It weighs in at over 600 pages, but within those pages is the single most comprehensive look at sea serpent from Antiquity to about 1965. Bernard Heuvelmans, the author, holds nothing back in this book and crams in as many sightings as he …

The Scary States of America by Michael Teitelbaum

This is one of the most interesting books I read in a long time. That may sound a bit weird as these stories are mostly about ghosts, UFOs and other paranormal events, but they are truly well-written. These are not the old, boring ghost stories that have been passed …

Gardner’s Used Books Tulsa

This bookstore fits the perfect picture of the used bookstore. It’s got bookshelves that tower heads over you, filled to the brim with used books. Why pay over 8 dollars for a book at other retailers when you can get them for half off or less at a place …

Deep Black by Steven Coonts and Jim DeFelice

Stephen Coonts has many successful books, most of them based on war, and the Vietnam War in particular. While these books are good the whole ‘war novel’, especially Vietnam, has been done and redone ad infinitum, so it was refreshing to see a new kind of novel from an …

The Autobiography of Foudini M Cat by Susan Fromberg Schaeffer (book)

I found “The Autobiography of Foudini M. Cat” at the library and was immediately intrigued. Especially because it wasn’t in the children’s section. I would have expected a book written from the point of view of a cat would be considered a children’s book. But, it …

Raymond Carver - Elephant & Other Stories (1988 - Book, short stories anthology)

Raymond Carver’s final book will depress you. Keep that in mind. It’s a good book, very elegant, not very diverse but somehow extremely original in it’s own way. However, it is extremely depressing. I didn’t say it’s sad, mind you. I mean, it is sad, but that’s not the …

Midnight Runner by Jack Higgins

Midnight Runner is a suspense novel by Jack Higgins. It involves espionage, Mideast terrorist, and intrigue.
I liked this book, but the characters are a little on the unbelievable side. Some of the things they do you know aren’t possible in real life. I will say that the author …

I recently discovered a new writer to read and couldn’t be happier. I’ve started reading some of Joy Fielding’s books and have been pleasantly surprised.

Howl’s Moving Castle book

I enjoyed Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones. This book, intended for a young adult audience just because of the complexity of the plot, is fun, a little bit silly, and engaging. I’m tempted to find the other books which seem to be based on the main characters …

The Last Oracle Book By James Rollins

In this genre there isn’t more of an adept storyteller than James Rollins. Another proof of his talent is the novel “The Last Oracle”, part of the series “Sigma Force “, but that could easily be read independently from this one. The story begins in the temple of the …

Lord Foulgrin’s Letters by Randy Alcorn

This book is a shameless rip-off of C.S.Lewis’s “The Screwtape Letters.” Judge for yourself: in C.S.Lewis’s book, a demon named Screwtape writes letters to a subordinate demon, instructing him how to keep a certain man away from faith in God; in Mr. Alcorn’s book, a demon named Foulgrin is …
