Star Wars: Guardians of the Whills by Greg Rucka
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I enjoyed this book more than I had expected to.
It’s a fun action packed story that makes you laugh, cheer, and ask very philosophical questions. For a Star Wars book, it actually showcased many philosophies – from the quotes from Jedi texts at each chapter, and the age old arguments of revolution against oppression.
If you enjoyed Baze and Chirrut in Rogue One, I would highly recommend this book as it brings out more of who they are, and what they fight for.
Though there is a warning that you may get more attached to them, and the movie might be harder to watch as a result.
Munich by Robert Harris
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I have to admit that this book was really boring to start with, and I nearly put it down several times in exasperation, but by about 25% in it started to get more and more absorbing.
By 40% into the story, I was having trouble putting it down.
And by 50% I was hooked and had to finish it.
This is an interesting look at a piece of history that has be examined, studied, examined some more, written about, poured over, re-examined, and is ceaselessly fascinating and devastating all at once.
Yet it bears a message for our present times too.
And for that alone, I recommend it.

The Greenest Branch by P.K. Adams
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Having read P.K. Adams’ book ‘Silent Water’ previously, I was intrigued by The Greenest Branch, and quickly drawn into a beautiful and elegantly described world that is so richly peopled, and so intensely crafted, I was disappointed to reach the end!
Thank goodness there’s a sequel!
Having known but little about Saint Hildegard of Bingen, I almost feel now like she’s a friend.
This is brilliantly written book.
Highly recommended!
Raise the Titanic! by Clive Cussler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
No one writes books this breathlessly awesome any more.
I first encountered Dirk Pitt, and the brilliant Clive Cussler through this book back when I was at school and first developing what would become a life long fascination with the Titanic.
Oh, how I soaked up the great ship’s discovery a few years later, and was so disappointed that she could never be raised from her cold, deep grave.
But I digress…
This is an enduring and phenomenally amazing story that it is physically impossible to ignore for very long.
If you only ever read one Cussler book, this has to be it.
Highly recommended to the max!!!
I love fudge.
I also love making fudge.
It’s a treat that I make during the holidays, giving it away as gifts.
