  Today's review is a book that fans of Mysteries will love :)   Review: Don't Look Back (or) Justice for Sara - Erica Spindler - August 2013 First things first, now depending which cover you pick up this book is written under two different titles - the first is the book I had which was "Don't Look Back" , the second which we also have in our library just to confuse patrons is "Justice for Sara". As a love of this type of genre, I can be quite fussy and the book needs to do two things - it needs to be fast-paced and keep me interested and wanting to flip the pages and it needs to have an awesome storyline. I started Don't Look Back this morning on my 15 minute morning tea break and could not put it down and was holding out for my hour lunch to come around so I could continue reading and WOW it was such an awesome book and took me 1hr 15 minutes to read :) The novel features Kat who is twenty-seven years old , she has returned home af...

  Today's review is a coming of age novel written by Margitte :).   Review: Ostrich - Matt Greene - August 2013 My husband has a way of ordering steak: "Make it rare to have it still embarrassed, but make sure the vet cannot save it anymore" So I immediately connected to the story when I read in the prologue that Alex's dad ordered his steak "Cooked long enough that his family aren't in denial but not long enough that they're at acceptance. Anywhere between bargaining and depression. Just so long as it's seen the inside of a warm room." This observation of Alex will actually become the embedded truth in the narrative. Apart from that I also felt the connection with an ostrich. "I already know what it's like to feel ostrichized, which is a better word for excluded (because ostriches can't fly, so they often feel left out). We farmed with them for many years, having between 3000 to 4000 of them hanging a...
