Six-Word Book Reviews - My Reads of June, July & August

While I was out walking the hounds today (a story in itself) I started thinking about the status of my book  reviews.  To no one's surprise, I am way behind, once again.  From there I jumped (in my mind) to the Twitter stream I was part of yesterday where I was asked to tweet what I was reading and give a six word synopsis. The more I thought about it the more I liked the idea.  I decided to get through 3 months worth of book reviews using six-word reviews.

So without further ado -

Now that I have that monkey off my back I can get back to work on my Alaskan photo album!

Happy reading!
