A Real Doll

Parents, stop buying your kid everything they ask for. That little girl does not need a real life doll to play dress up with, even if they say all their friends have them too.

A Fool and His Honey, 'AuRoRa TeaGaRDeN Mysteries' by: Charlaine Harris

PLOT: Aurora Teagarden's life finally seems to have settled into a comfortable pattern. Her marriage to Martin is going well, she's back at work at the Lawrenceton library-and she hasn't found a dead body in quite a while. But then one afternoon her handyman goes crazy in her side yard. Roe suspects this is a sign of more bad things to come. An she is right.

Soon Martin's niece, Regina, shows up with a baby that no one knew she had. Then she disappears, leaving behind the child-and a murdered husband. To find her, Roe and Martin retrace her steps from sunny Georgia back to snowy Ohio, where they will uncover dark family secrets-at their own peril...

OPINION: My favorite so far. The ending broke my heart.

The Blind Side

PLOT: The story of Michael Oher, a homeless and traumatized boy who became an All American football player and first round NFL draft pick with the help of a caring woman and her family.

OPINION: I love Sandra Bullock!!

Dead Over Heels, 'AuRoRa TeaGaRDeN Mysteries' by: Charlaine Harris

PLOT: Roe never liked Detective Sergeant Jack Burns, but she never wanted to see him dead-especially not dropped from a plane right into her own backyard. Luckily, even Lawrenceton, Georgia's finest know that Roe couldn't possibly be in two places at once, so her name is crossed off the suspect list.

But then other strange things happen around Roe, ranging from peculiar (her irascible cat turns up wearing a pink ribbon) to violent (her assistant at the library is attacked) to potentially deadly (her former lover is stabbed). Clearly there is a personal message in this madness that Roe must decipher-before it is too late...

OPINION: I love these now. Roe stands up for what she believes in. She's a very strong & smart individual. I love her marriage to Martin. It's not perfect - but they make it work.
