Back to School

Let me just be honest.  Spy School Goes South is a great book.  It is the sixth in the series and I love Gibbs.  But this probably would have been a 4 for me, just because I am not into the international stuff, but then Gibbs's author's note at the end made this a 5 star book for sure.  

I was saddned to hear the dedication, however as I learned that Gibbs's wife, a very talented television executive died in March of this year.  Take a moment to read about her if you didn't know, if you are like me and still live in the 1950s.  She was very accomplished but I am sure even more importantly, she was beloved by Mr. Gibbs and her family and friends.  Many prayers and thoughts are with him.  

Bumpy Ride

Turbulence is the #46 in the Stone series and for me, it just didn't hold my interest.  I have been loving Stone a lot lately, but I think it was just too much international intrigue for me.  I was VERY excited to hear some news about Holly Barker's future though!  So I look forward to #47 and I hope that we get to see Peter and Ben and not Felicity and Lance!
