Oct 6-12, 2013

As I Knew Him: My Father, Rod Serling by Anne Serling - Anne decided to write this book after reading other biographies that described a man she didn't recognize. She portrays Rod as a warm, caring, very funny man. He hated injustice and prejudice. Many of her memories take place at the summer cabin where the family had more of his attention. However, I didn't like the tense it was written in so...

Bones of the Lost by Kathy Reichs - a Temperance Brennan novel. This was a little better than the last couple of Brennan books I've read, partly because she didn't seem to be quite so self-centered in this one. An unidentified teenage hit and run and inspecting the remains of Afghanistan nationals make the book seem like two separate books at first. A fairly exciting ending.

Songs of Willow Frost by Jamie Ford - A 12 year old Chinese boy in a Seattle orphanage becomes convinced a Chinese actress is his mother. I was disappointed in this book, I didn't think it was nearly as good as his first.

3 stars
