Dark Matter

-
It's family night at the Dessen household, but at the insistence of his wife Jason Dessen leaves to go to a local bar for a drink where his friend is celebrating. On his way back Jason is threatened by a masked abductor and forced to drive to a remote location where he is then knocked unconscious. He wakes up to find himself strapped to a gurney, surrounded by strangers in hazmat suits - strangers that know him and are extremely happy to see him. Jason begins to understand that this life he has woken up to is not the one he's been living in for the last fifteen years. His wife is not his wife, his son was never born, and Jason himself is not the ordinary college physics professor he used to be. Instead he is an incredible genius who has achieved something unbelievable. But he wants his old life back and he'll do whatever it takes to go back to that. I can probably count on one hand how many sci-fi books I've read. This one sounded too good to not check out. And I'm ...

Sixteen-year-old Sydney is secretly fighting a battle against depression. She has a fog that settles around her that makes it hard to be around people, make eye contact and even get out of bed in the morning. Her outgoing older sister Abby is planning to do a version of The Vagina Monologues for school.  Sydney hates to talk or even think about sex, so she basically wants to crawl in a hole and not go to school that day.

This was a quick and easy read. The whole book flowed well and had great characters. I could relate to Sydney and was definitely rooting for her! S...

Emeralds and Envy

Emma Madison's dream of launching her career as a jewellery designer has come true. She loves junkin' for old beads and baubles so she can give them new life. Emma had a good morning at a garage sale and decides to swing by the antiques shop her friend owns to share her finds, but she wasn't prepared to learn that her friend, Tina, has been murdered there at the shop. Emma wants the murderer locked up but it seems as though the police aren't finding any leads, so she uses her newspaper reporting experience to assist them. Someone doesn't want Emma snooping around, but Emma is determined to find the person responsible for Tina's death, no matter what. This book was filled with interesting things and creative characters - jewellery makers, painters, weavers, antiques, fashion and food. It's a small town so there's no shortage of gossip, but who would want Tina dead?! I couldn't figure it out. The writing was good which made it a fast and ...
