BOOKS & STORIES I FINISHED READING IN 2025
7) The Truth about the O.J. Simpson Trial: By the Architect of the Defense
~ by F. Lee Bailey
If what the author wrote in this book is true, then O.J. did not commit the murders. 😲
A very interesting read.
6) The Seven Wonders of Sassafras Springs
~ by Betty G. Birney
Eben is challenged by his father to find seven "wonders" right there in their hometown. This is a nice novel for youth, so I'm giving it to my grandsons. (They told me they don't want books for gifts, but too bad!)
5) Idaho Fall: A Twisty Whodunit
~ by D.J. Maughan
A clothing designer falls off her balcony and is in a coma.... Or was she pushed? While in her coma, she experiences the ability to tag along with the detectives investigating her accident, as well as observe her family. She learns a lot about herself in the process. The story kept my interest.
4) As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of the Princess Bride
~ by Cary Elwes
I found my DVD copy of The Princess Bride immediately after I finished reading this book. I will be watching it with Lew as soon as it fits into our schedule (a lot of sports on TV these days!) so I can enlighten him with everything I learned. He will love my insight. 😄
3) Second Best Thing: Marilyn, JFK, and a Night to Remember
~ by James L. Swanson
I think this is only available on Amazon, since it is advertised with "Amazon Original Stories." It's a brief book about the night of JFK's birthday celebration — the night that Marilyn Monroe sang "Happy Birthday" to him in a skin-tight dress.
2) Eleven Numbers: A Short Story
~ by Lee Child
An intriguing fictional story starring mathematicians. How could I resist reading it?! 😁
1) The Mystery Writer: A Novel
~ by Sulari Gentill
Interesting characters and a good story. Caution for some bad language and poor caricatures of both Christians and conservatives. But neither caution prohibits me from recommending this to anyone who enjoys a good mystery. A fun first read for the new year.
