Save Me
Lisa Scottoline
St Martins Press
www.stmartins.com
I’ve read Lisa Scottoline’s novel for many years and I have to say that “Save Me” is very different from her previous novels. It is the story of a mother who protects her daughter from other kids who are bullying her just because she is disfigured. Rose McKenna endures the wrath of many people at the school when she was there to volunteer to help take care of the children. Something happens where one of the children is harmed and McKenna is blamed for it. Scottoline has always written a good novel, normally a legal thriller but this one is different with a powerful story of what a mother will do to protect her child. The story is a fast paced character driven tale that ends with a satisfying conclusion. Readers of Barbara Delinsky will love this fine tale.

A History of Collectible American Record Sleeves Volume I

I was surprised when I read “A History of Collectible American Record Sleeves” how many performers the author left out for this era. Among them were, Fabian, Blood Sweat and Tears, Spanky and Our Gang, America, Freddy and the Dreamers, and Grand Funk Railroad were a few of them. Otherwise the author has told many interesting things about the covers of the records and the artists that are little known facts that make the book fascinating reading. I hope there are many more volumes by this author about record sleeves and the singers. “A History of Collectible American Record Sleeves is for anyone who wants to know more about the groups and singers of the 1950s and 1960s and for fans of these performers
