Blurb (from Amazon): "Julia has had enough. Enough of the sex noises her roommate makes. Enough of her dead-end government job. Enough of the one-night stand who accused her of breaking his penis. The only thing she hasn’t had enough of is orgasms; she hasn’t had proper sex in three years."
Opinion: So....the main character examines who she is-lesbian, heterosexual, etc. Lots of over the top sex scenes-some realistic, many not. Bottomline is that the character goes through hell to find out who she truly is like many people in real life. The underlining message I like. The bullshit sex and abuse I could have done without.

The Disappearance by Bentley Little
Started: 6/6/19
Finished: 9/12/19
Year: 2010
Pages: 391
Genre: Thriller
Grade: B
Reason for reading: booksfree.com book
Blurb (from back cover): "The festival was intended as a getaway from UCLA for Gary, his girlfriend, Joan, and their friends. But soon after they arrive, Joan vanishes. Calls to her parents' home yield only dead air. Her school records are gone. And there's no evidence that Joan, or even her roommate, ever existed. Most disturbing of all is what they do find.
"Among Joan's belongings is a prayer written on a small school. It's a safeguard-and a warning-from something called the Outsiders. For Gary and his friends, it's the only blue. Now, if they want to find out exactly what happened to Joan, they must follow it.
"But they may not like where it leads..."
Opinion: I haven't read a Little book in a few years and I have always enjoyed them...this one being no different. The suspense is well developed. The ending is kharmatic. It isn't the best Little book but still well worth the read.

Finished: 9/7/19
Year: 2010
Pages: 311
Genre: Biography
Grade: B
Reason for reading: booklender.com book
Blurb (from back cover): "Terry was only five years old when he was taken info foster care along with his brothers, and just nine when he and his brother Dennis arrived at their new foster parents, the Goughs. They worked as hard as they could and they tried to be good, but the beatings got worse and they were so hungry-until the terrible morning when Terry couldn't wake Dennis."
Opinion: A touching and horrific story of what one kid went through that help spark a foster care reform. Amazing how adults could treat kids as punching bags to the point of murder....all for a paycheck.
