The Help

When I don’t really care for a book, I generally just don’t write about it here. I have written some reviews of books I dislike, if I have specific reasons. If it was simply “this book didn’t grab me” then I just don’t write about it. I read so many books that [...]

Cleopatra’s Daughter

I wrote about Cleopatra’s Daughter for Bookbrowse.com.
Go check out my review – and other people’s review – of Cleopatra’s Daughter.
While you’re there, consider getting a membership. I find out about great books well before they show up on bookshelves and sometimes I get Advance Reading Copies to review. It’s pretty great and not [...]

Over My Dead Body: 43 Old Cemetary Road Book 2 – Kate Klise & M. Sarah Klise

Somehow, I wound up on the Amazon Vine list. This is the first of the books I’ve reviewed as an Official Vine Reviewer but I have two more books waiting for me to review and I think another one the way.
You can read the review here.

Summer on Blossom Street by Debbie Macomber

It seems that just when I’m in a mood for a very light, not at all challenging, “feel good” sort of book, Debbie Macomber comes out with another Blossom Street book. These books aren’t great literature but they are definitely fun to read. I love knowing that, unlike real life, everything will turn out just [...]

Casting Spells by Barbara Bretton

If you’re a fantasy fan, this is not the book for you.  If you’re a fan of romance novels and don’t mind a bit of light paranormal-ness, then you’ll probably like it.
I am ambivalent about it.  I’d probably give it about a 2/10.  It wasn’t bad enough to not finish but it wasn’t good enough [...]

The Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyers

I read the last three of the four books one after another in the last two weeks, so I decided to write about them all at once.
All of you know the plot, so I won’t bother with much of that.  All of you know that Stephenie Meyer is an amazing writer, so I won’t even [...]

Blue Bloods by Melissa de la Cruz

I’ve come across two new series. The first is Blue Bloods by Melissa de la Cruz.
I have found that young adult novels are often as good as adult novels and, in many cases, better. In this case, I’d say better. Since the author can’t rely on gratuitous sex and violence, they actually [...]

Can You Keep a Secret? by Sophie Kinsella (audio) ~ 1/9/09

Let’s say you have a disastrous meeting – and your company loses a major client.  Let’s say that it’s your first solo meeting of your career.  Then, on the way home, you are seated next to a handsome man (and you happen to be heterosexual).  Now imagine that your plane hits turbulence and, being scared [...]

The Hour I First Believed by Wally Lamb 01/12/09

I liked This Much I Know is True, so I was excited to read Wally Lamb’s newest book. 
Overall, I liked it a lot.  There were really a couple of things going on: the story of how Maureen, who was at work at Columbine High School on the day of the shootings and her recovery; the family [...]
