Military/Police themed book in honor of Memorial Day OR an ebook/book in print that was first an ebook.
I decided to go with the Military/Police themed book, one of each, but my Military one isn't a traditional one and my Police themed one is a reread.
Title: Ride The FireAuthor: Pamela Clare
Year published: 2005
Why did you get this book? Can't remember if I bought it or traded for it.
Do you like the cover? Okay
Did you enjoy the book? Keeper
Was the author new to you and would you read something by this author again? No and Yes
Are you keeping it or passing it on? Keeper
Anything else? I loved this book, set in 1760's it's not what one might think of as a traditional military story, but it does take place the French/Indian War. If you love Last of the Mohicans, you'll love this book. This is not a "Wallpaper" historical. Pamela Clare sucks you into the historical aspects of the story, to the point you feel like you need to catch your breath as they're on the run. Yesterday, I picked up her March 2006 release Surrender, simply on the strength of this book.
The Police themed book:
Title: Dream ManAuthor: Linda Howard
Year published: 1994
Why did you get this book? I've had to buy this book a couple of times because I've worn out old copies or loaned them and never got them back
Do you like the cover? Okay
Did you enjoy the book? Keeper
Was the author new to you and would you read something by this author again? No and Yes
Are you keeping it or passing it on? Keeper
Anything else? Gee, have I mentioned I love Linda Howard's books? I blogged a little about this one the other day... here.
Sorry, I know I should write full reviews for both, but I'm being lazy. I thought I'd have a print book that was originally an ebook to write about, but realized I read them last month not this month. I've still got time, maybe I'll find something else to use for the challenge.

Well - you know what I think of Ride the Fire heh heh. And I loved Dream Man too.
Kristie, Between Ride the Fire and all my Linda Howard keepers, I've had a wonderful month of reading, of course these made up for all my DNFs from last month that I forced myself to finish. I guess, they were my reward for following through on all that mediocrity.
