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 [...]

Free Style by Linda Nieves-Powell 03/02/09

Hey, check out my newest review at Curled Up With a Good Book.

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 Devil in the Junior League by Linda Francis Lee 12/7/08

I started this book on audio but my truck’s CD player kept telling me it was a bad CD, so eventually I got sick of it and just picked up the book.
So, The Fabulous Frede Were is annoying at first.  Still, surprisingly interesting.  Generally speaking, self-absorbed, oh-so-proper, Junior League of Willow Creek sorts are not [...]

Dirty Girls on Top

I loved The Dirty Girls Social Club.  It’s one of my favorite books.  The sequel takes place several years after the end of the TDGSC.  I wish I’d reread the first before this one because I couldn’t remember some of the details.
 
Usnavys seems to be the main character this time.  It was Lauren last time. [...]

Remember Me? by Sophie Kinsella 07/08/08

I picked up Remember Me? because a member of an online group I’m in suggested it.  That and I like Sophie Kinsella.  While her books aren’t deep, they are fun.  I’ve read all of the Shopaholic books (and, really, who hasn’t known a Becky Bloomwood?) but I loved Domestic Goddess. 
The premise is simple: Lexi [...]

A Connecticut Fashionista in King Arthur’s Court by Marianne Mancusi 06/30/08

I was a sucker for a King Arthur story when I was a young teen.  I’ve read more versions of it that you can imagine.  In this one, Kat is transported back to Camelot.  It takes her awhile to find out it wasn’t an accident – the Lady of the Lake and Merlin thought that [...]

Certain Girls by Jennifer Weiner 05/03/08

“Good in Bed” is one of my Top Ten Favorite Books of All Time. It’s funny, it’s all about various relationships and there are even lesbians in it. Over the years, I’ve wondered whatever happened to Cannie Shapiro and Joy?
Well, Cannie turned into a scaredy cat housewife/closet writer and Joy turned into [...]

Tales of a Drama Queen by Lee Nichols 04/05/08

I went to visit A Friend in a different city and didn’t feel like reading the book I took with me, so we found a used bookstore and decided to check it out.  I mean, there are Borders and other regular bookstores but I generally find cooler things in used stores.  This time, not so [...]
