Books of 2016- Installment #17

81. Easter Island Rapa Nui by Felipe L. Soza
I really felt the need to reread this book. I love Easter Island so much, and reading this book put me right back on the island!














82. Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu
Wow! What an intense book. I am left a little speechless by this book. It's got quite a lot going on in it. It's hard science fiction which isn't for everybody with an interesting take on human arrogance and our abdication of duty to the other inhabitants of the Earth and even to each other. I am interested in continuing the trilogy but need a break before I take on the next one.



















83. The Castlemaine Murders by Kerry Greenwood
We got a little kitty in September (the 2nd to be precise), and we named her after the main character of the Miss Phryne Fisher Mysteries... Phryne (pronounced FRY-knee). I've read 12 of these novels and just felt the need to dive back into this world. It's been 34 books since I last read a Phryne. And instantly I was happy and relaxed!

 
















84. The Bridge and Other Love Stories by Christine Lindop
This is a graded reader I read for stories to use with my level 200 students. It's got some nice stories, and we'll see if my students like them.


 
















85. The Gift of the Magi and Other Stories by O. Henry
This is a graded reader I read for stories to use with my level 200 students. It's got some nice stories, and they liked the two we've done so far. But we haven't done the Gift of the Magi yet.
