Cold Wind

by Box, C. J., 1967-

Book - 2011

C J Box never fails to please. Probably not one of my absolute faves of his - but still a good read. Lots of action, drama and suspense. C J Box never fails to please. Probably not one of my absolute faves of his - but still a good read. Lots of action, drama and suspense. Show less

The Disappearing Spoon

And Other True Tales of Madness, Love, and the History of the World From the Periodic Table of the Elements

by Kean, Sam

Book - 2010

OK, so it was published 2010, but I'm adding it to my 2011 list. It's my list, so there! This is a great example of making a subject, that some see as nerdy and boring; accessible, entertaining and funny. OK, so it was published 2010, but I'm adding it to my 2011 list.

The Name Of The Star

by Johnson, Maureen, 1973-

Book - 2011

This is the first of Maureen Johnson's I have read - and I am now searching out her previous books. I like her style - entertaining, suspenseful and left me wanting more. Only thing I don't like - the cover. It doesn't fit the story. This is the first of Maureen Johnson's I have read - and I am now searching out her previous books.
