Sorry folks, new here and didn't know about the image kibosh. I post short thoughts on each book read at another forum, so I'll just copy and paste here to get up to date for the last few weeks. These were all on Kindle.

Secret Adversary - Agatha Christie
A bit hard to read due to the style of English that was used. Many words I had no clue what they were in the form they were used, and had to look them up. Still a good mystery that kept me guessing, and by one of my favorite authors (Ten Little Indians is probably my favorite or second favorite book ever) - B+
Blockade Billy - Stephen King
Far too short, and easy to figure out, but a breeze to read and fun. At less than 100 pages or so in book form, don't expect a fleshed out story or characters. Still, King made it work pretty well for what was there. I did really like the way the story was told, as an interview of sorts. - B
Kiss Her Goodbye - Allan Guthrie
Couldn't sympathize or really care for any character. Not one really had a redeeming or saving quality about them. The protagonist of the story was as unlikable as the antagonist, and that's not good. Having said all of that, the story was decent, even though I figured out the villain well he was revealed. - C
Besserwisser - Steve Anderson
Good first time effort by an MR member, but disjointed and lacking explanation or reasoning in spots. Sometimes I felt like I skipped over a page or one was missing entirely. The ending kind of left me with a look on my face, because it wasn't really explained why the main character was doing what he was doing. Love the beer references. - C
UR - Stephen King
Better than Blockade Billy, more fleshed out. Fun story, but superficial. About twice as long as BB, so there was more time to flesh out the characters a bit and learn their motivations. I did find one big flaw though, no guy would go around showing off a pink Kindle like that, even if he was trying to impress a girl . - B+p
