Sister by Rosamund Lupton reviewed by Lisa H

Sister by Rosamund Lupton is not my usual kind of book, so I was a little apprehensive about reading it.  Once I got started I could not put it down.  It is a mystery, set in England, surrrounding 2 sisters.  Parts of the book are written in letter form from one sister to another, which is not my favorite style of reading.  Nevertheless, the book is captivating from beginning to ending.  It is the story of a woman who is determined to find the murderer of her sister. The story flashes back to their past and reveals beautiful memories as well as heartbreaking pain.  The characters are fascinating and designed to always leave you guessing. 

Black Heels to Tractor Wheels by Ree Drummond reviewed by Judith Cosgray

This is the true story of blogger and cookbook author Ree Drummond's whirlwind life and romance with her very own cowboy whom she affectionately calls "Marlboro Man". I am not one for a romance but I love her blog (www.thepioneerwoman.com) and her cookbooks are excellent. So I gave the story a chance and it worked its magic. Her life story has as much twists and turns as any great work of fiction, but in the same tone you realize she is no different than the rest of us. Her life took some unexpected turns, resulting in meeting the man of her dreams - a rancher from Oklahoma instead of a hot shot businessman in Chicago. I thoroughly enjoyed this biography - check it out.
