She did it again! 206 Bones was brilliant and restored my faith in Temperance Brennan and Reichs. The novel starts with Tempe being trapped in a dank dark somewhere and continues to tell the tale of how she came to get there.

We meet new characters we try to like but can’t seem to ignore the impression we receive through Tempe and her friends. Once I fall in love with a character I trust their instincts, whether I’d normally follow the same course of action or not. 206 Bones had surprises in store even after I thought I had it all figured out.

I would and have recommended this book to fellow readers and strongly advise you to pick it up. Don’t just take my word for it – check out the reviews on Amazon.com.

Thank you for reading,

Sarah Butland

Kathy Reichs is an author I’ve grown to love; through her books, Bones – her tv series, and a local appearance. She’s an author I’ve come to greatly respect and look up to.

When deciding which book of hers to buy while seeing her on tour I decided on Cross Bones (Temperance Brennan Novels). If this was the first book I read of hers it may have been the last so I’m thankful it was one of my later reads.

With religion and its possibilities on the forefront the perspectives this novel suggested were intriguing but I found could have been presented in a much clearer way. Twists and turns I’m used to, leaps and bounds I can find difficult to follow especially when dealing with religion.

Although I raced through Cross Bones (Temperance Brennan Novels), eating up every word, I was almost relieved when I was finished because her next most recently published book, 206 Bones: A Novel (Temperance Brennan Novels), was waiting in the next room.

I’ll always be a fan of Kathy Reichs, buying all of her novels, but it’s fair to say not all of her books will make it to my favourites list.

Thank you for reading,

Sarah Butland Meets Kathy Reichs

Sarah Butland Meets Kathy Reichs

On October 26th, 2008 I was fortunate enough to have famous author Kathy Reichs visit Moncton and was lucky enough not only to get to go to hear her talk but to have my picture taken immediately after she signed a copy of her book!

A friend I met there commented that I should be trading her book for mine as well as inviting all attendees to my reading/ book signings. I wouldn’t venture to do that at this time in my career but hope to hold a reading as well delivered as hers someday.

Not only did Kathy Reichs talk about her books (namely Bones to Ashes which is set in New Brunswick) she talked about her series Bones and her life. She told us of her unorthodox method of getting published and her dream to hit the big screen. All the while I was intrigued, honoured and jealous but trusting that some day I’d be as happy with my writing career as she is.

Bravo to Kathy Reichs and congrats on her new “grandnovel” written by daughter, Kerry Reichs, called The Best Day of Someone Else’s Life.
