Chick Lit
Juliet is not a reincarnation story, thank goodness, but it is about a curse, on “both your houses,” which is a bit like adding fate in. Thankfully, our modern day “Juliet” doesn’t remember a past life, but she is worried that she won’t be long in this one. Did I ever mention how much I [...]
Why oh why do I keep reading this series? I really don’t enjoy the way Aprilynne Pike writes. She overwrites constantly. It “set’s my teeth on edge.” I find Laurel so completely annoying, I can’t stand her. If she were an actual person, I would try very hard not to ever have to speak to [...]
I would suggest reading this novella for Twilight fans. It is an interesting glimpse into the outside world of Twilight vampires we never get to see in sheltered Forks, WA. That aside, I still don’t know what makes Bree so special someone would be compelled to write a spin off novella about her. Whatever Stephenie [...]
Eat Pray Love is a memoir by Elizabeth GIlbert which follows a year she spent traveling to Italy, India, and Indonesia on a journey to discover pleasure, spirituality, and balance. Out of five stars I would give this book three, not because I think it is ‘average’ but because I both loved and hated it [...]
I picked up my first Jill Mansell novel (Accidents happen when I’m Thinking of You) for two dollars at the U of L book store. I loved it, but for some reason have not managed to read another one until today. I loved it again. I think she is the queen of chick lit. Her [...]
Have you ever read a book and loved it while reading but became uncertain of it after? I had that experience after reading Kate Jacob’s first book (Friday Night Knitting Club). But I did enjoy reading it, so I decided to check this one out. Plus I love watching the Food Network which factors heavily [...]
The main character of this novel (written in first person) is overweight and living a double life. The double life thing has been done and done, but I have honestly never read a book with a chubby main character. I liked that part. I’m really sick of reading books with skinny perfect women taking the [...]
I have been putting off posting this one for a while. I have to say, I fell in love with this novel. Which is part of the reason I didn’t want to post it. What if other people read it and thought it was a waste of time? That shouldn’t matter to me, it really [...]
