The Rapture of Canaan 250 reviews
Sheri Reynolds
Berkley Books, 1997
Loved this book!
This is NOT a book I typically would have picked up. But I was sitting in a coffee shop/used book store and saw it sitting there. I picked it up, took a look at the first page, and before I knew it, it was 4 hours later and I was completely in love.

The Boxer Rebellion: The Dramatic Story of China's War on Foreigners that Shook the World in the Summer of ... 54 reviews
Diana Preston
Berkley Books, 2001
Popular History Well Told
The short lived, generally forgotten Boxer Rebellion took place in North China in 1900. The Boxers were Chinese rebels who hated foreign Christian missionaries, their converts, and the foreign diplomats who had taken up residence in China during the last century. They wanted China to be rid of all of them. They were called "Boxers" because of the martial arts they practiced and the poses they ...

A Fatal Thaw (A Kate Shugak Mystery) 4 reviews
Dana Stabenow
Berkley Books, 1993
A Pleasing Continuation to the Series
I found "A Fatal Thaw," the second in the Kate Shugak series set in the Alaskan wilderness, much easier to read and follow than the first, and I zipped through it with great interest. Stabenow is herself an Alaskan, and she makes you feel the very essence of the place, in all its rough and ready wildness. I felt I was there in the first spring thaw with Kate and her wonderful half-wolf dog (a ...

Seduction in Death60 reviews
Nora Roberts writing as J.D. Robb
Berkley Books, 2001
Always Great!
As always Nora Roberts(J.D.Robb) delivers a great, fast moving mystery. You struggle right along with Eve through the whole book. It's always interesting to see the interaction between Eve and Roake. If the future's anything like this, it should be interesting!

O'Baby: The Irish Baby Name Book16 reviews
Geoffrey Johnson
Berkley Books, 1999
Eire
This was a really well laid out book. We found one of our girls names in there (Keira) and quite a few others that made it to the list. In the end, the other daughter received a Russian name ;-)
I've given this book to another Irish friend expecting twins.

Cardinal of the Kremlin
I had read this book previously, but wanted to read it again. Clancey's books are just too good to read only once.

Sunshine307 reviews
Robin McKinley
Berkley Books, 2003
To love this book is to love being enveloped in a story
This book is Robin McKinley's emotional masterpiece. What other reviewers seem to fail to acknowledge is that in reading this book, if you have ever been able to identify the times in your life you pulled the covers over you head after the alarm went off and those feelings associated with being human and being stubborn, then you can identify with Sunshine. We all prefer to read books that read ...

McNally's Puzzle (Archy McNally) 12 reviews
Lawrence Sanders
Berkley Books, 1997
The Parrot Also Rises, Against A Brilliant Yellow Sun?
Usually I know why a book keeps me reading; I know exactly what the capture cons are. In the case of McNALLY's PUZZLE, I kept reading with my own puzzle to saw with a jig. It had something to do with a jazzy writing rhythm and with the tightly focused, First-person-Narrative pushing Archy's socially elite slang.
I found myself wondering where I'd left my dictionary; didn't want to lose the ...

To wed in Texas6 reviews
Jodi Thomas
Berkley Books, 1999
Loved it!
If you read the title TO WED IN TEXAS and expect a typical historical Texas romance then you've never read Jodi Thomas' work. The first chapter of this gentle romance will capture you and draw you into a warm, charming, and sometimes harrowing read. Daniel McLain is a man of God, raising his twin girls in the newly- developed and dangerous town of Jefferson, Texas. When he appeals to his ...
