I've finished Unforgotten and rated it 4 stars.
Actually found it difficult to rate it. It's one of those books filled with pictures; poignant, warm, dark, creepy, hopeful, etc... As they say a picture paints a thousand words. I don't feel that I could rate it based on these pictures though I do admire the different elements of photos, drawings, etc. The "story" itself started with something warm then plunged into bleakness and ended with a kind of hope.

Err, well, I'm only fast because it's like a picture book for adults! I don't even quite know where it fits in 'genre' and I'm not sure if children would actually get it and not be creeped out by the pictures. 'twas kinda strange...

I am actually doing a year long celebration of short stories this year, Fairlee. I have to say, it is a bit difficult to find good short story books that aren't mysteries.

The Secret Life of Bletchley Park: The WWII Codebreaking Centre and the Men and Women Who Worked There - 4 stars
Oh, gee. I forgot to post my first book that I finished - Ghost Riders by Sharyn McCrumb. I gave it 4*.

My third book finished: The White Tiger. I gave it 3 stars, but that it was never a 3-star book for me: in some ways 2-stars, in others 4-stars -- so I took an average.

Susan, when I read this book, it turned out to be only 2* for me.
However, I can recommend White Tiger by Michael Allen Dymmoch. This one was a 5* read for me.

That does look good, Bea. But it looks like I have 4 others in the series to read before I get to that one.

Susan, I read it as a stand-alone book, and it was fine.
