The Merlot Murders
A Wine Country Mystery

Ellen Crosby

Not too thrilled with this book. The writing is flat and uninspired. Not even sure I'll finish it, but it's in my list for a library assignment.

Speaking of the assignment, I'm looking for any recommendations of books related to fitness, health, nutrition, or organic living. Fiction or nonfiction...

Finished reading "enclave" (by ann aguirre) last night. Middle of the road as far as YA Dystopian goes... Had to research to find out if it were the first book of a series or a stand alone. It had that weird of an ending. They finished the story line (I thought) but there were a lot of loose ends that I wasn't sure if we were supposed to find out in a later book - or just build our own...

Yeah I guess what I'm saying is that it's not really even a middle of the road. I'd give it a 2 outta 5. And I think that may be me being nice.

But of course I'll give the second book a read - if I remember the series when the second book comes out.

Have you read Skinny Bitch, by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin?
Sounds like a diet book I know, but it's so much more. It's not a simple solution to weight loss, it's about eating for optimal health. It mostly promotes going vegan, but if that is not something you're interested in, you will still learn all kinds of things you (probably) didn't know about the food industry in North America (or at least I did).

It's a great read for anyone concerned about what we put in our mouths.
