Various books!

I figured that I would go through some of the fiction that I have stashed away in my Kindle and see what I could easily weed out.  I did try to find something that sounded like it would interest me, but in the end I deleted 5 books.

AND THEREBY HANGS A TALE -  JEFFREY ARCHER - Oh my gosh - this short story made me want my 30 minutes back.  This rich woman finds a banker at a horse race and convinces him that she loves him.  As a result, she also decides that she needs a hugely expensive ring.  When he tells her he can't afford one for her, she talks him into stealing one.  After he's done, she disappears and already has her next target lined up.  This time she wants earrings...ugh, please!

THE NIGHT HORSEMAN - MAX BRAND - Ok, I got about to the second page on this one before I gave up.  Knowing this guy was a Western guy, I felt like I needed to give it a chance, it reminded me of my Grandpa.  Well, I totally could NOT understand anything I read for two pages so I gave up.  Memories work much better!

MISS ANNA'S FRIGATE - JENA KUHN - I didn't get too far into this one either.  It started out on a ship that is headed toward Sweden.  Flash forward to a naked lady in Sweden doing who knows what.  When I get about 5% in and am already reading about breasts and sex, it's time for me to move on...

BAKE SALE MURDER - LESLIE MEIER - I got about 50% into this one.  There was a murder in there, but it didn't happen until about 40% in.  The other things I got to read about were bake sales, urban drama, football hazing rumors and cheerleader teenagers.  I gave up because by the time I got 1/2 way through I could have cared less about anyone in that book.  Even the murder victim!

WAITER, THERE'S A CLUE IN MY SOUP! - CAMILLE LAGUIRE - This was a series of 5 short stories.  I got to the third one before I gave up.  The first one was very short.  It was about a detective that ended up at a diner discussing how someone was murdered.  The clue to the whole thing lies with a food connoisseur who ends up giving them the murderer.  The second one seemed to be based on some crime solving team, one of them being a 17-year old girl who sounds like Annie Oakley.  I got through that one, but stopped when I realized that the third story also revolved around the same team.

I got a few of my fiction books deleted that didn't need to be there.  I still have a ton in there but hopefully I'll be able to sift through them again soon!
