Tailspin by Catherine Coulter
This is another book involving FBI agents Savich and Sherlock. This time they are trying to solve the murder of a US Senator and the attempted murder of his daughter. It was pretty good but not great. Also, I have been reading it for WEEKS! I was completely unmotivated to finish it. Bizarre, I guess I am out of the reading mode. Although I am anticipating some good books coming in the mail and coming out in the next month or two so I better get back into it.

No. 75: The Bridegroom
The Bridegroom by Linda Lael Miller
This is another in the Stone Creek series - another Yarbro brother. This time Gideon who was hired by mine owners to get inside information on the workers about a potential strike. Also he kidnapped Lydia on her wedding day to "save" her from marrying a guy she doesn't like. It was not as good as the other in the series, but I still enjoyed it.

No. 74: Promise in Death
Promise in Death by JD Robb
Yet another of the in death series books. This one was not one of my favorites. No creepy serial killer, no awesome mystery - I actually guessed whodunnit halfway through - and there was not enough of the relationship development I like to see. Maybe this series is just getting old, it is seeming kind of repetitive. Although there are like 30 in the series so its no wonder.

No. 73: Hot Pursuit
Hot Pursuit by Suzanne Brockmann
So this is the new Troubleshooters series book for this year. It was good, but really different than a lot of her other books. It was primarily about a serial killer who really wants to kill Alyssa. So the majority of the plot was about trying to figure out who he was, and keeping him from killing more people. But there was also a romance of sorts between Gillman and Jenn. It was kind of a weird relationship though - definitely no Kenny and Savannah or even Sam and Alyssa. Unfortunately, I started reading this book late in the day and didn't get it finished until 11:00 or so at night and I was up much later than that freaking out about the serial killer thing. I think I am going to have to institute a new rule where I don't read scary books when Aaron is working at night :)

No. 72: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by JK Rowling
Since I had just read the Half Blood Prince and seen the movie, I thought I better read the last book in the series while I was in the mood. I am glad I did because this is one of my all time favorite books. It is so good, no matter how many times I read it. And it is so involved that I always notice something new or different, or maybe just pay closer attention. But it is fantastic. I am sad there will be no new Harry Potter books. At least I have the last two movies to look forward to!
