I listened to this novel on my daily commute to work and it made the ride very enjoyable. It’s a funny story about childhood friendship, small town life and secrets, a road trip and a hit-and-run. This book had a little of something for everyone.
It starts off with a hit-and-run after a high school reunion. [...]
I am always intrigued by fiction with a biographical twist. This book was from the point of view of Ernest Hemingway’s first wife, Hadley. Through her eyes you saw the couple from the time they fell in love, through their divorce, until his suicide. You saw firsthand the passionate love they shared in the beginning [...]
After reading Leigh’s log about Heart of the Matter by Emily Giffin, I had to check out the author for myself and I was not disappointed. Baby Proof was an enjoyable read. Emily has a talent for writing about real relationships and I felt connected to her characters. In fact I noticed a lot of [...]
I have read this book numerous times in the course of my life. It’s just one of those books that you throw into a box during the multiple times you move from apartment to apartment. I call it a comfort book. I know the ending but still enjoy reading it over and over again. Laura [...]

I have to admit that I did not read the first three books in Stephenie Meyer’s bestselling Twilight Series. I saw the movies and then I decided that I could not wait to find out how this saga ends. I began reading Breaking Dawn with a bewildered feeling about why Bella chose Edward [...]
This book is a classic written by E. M. Forster. What makes me read this book over and over is the description of the scenery in Italy. I also enjoy revisiting the characters. Forester has written such a detailed and crisp narrative that it makes me feel like I know the people and I have been [...]
Shiver is another Young Adult choice, and I have to say, if the characters hadn’t been teenagers, I would never have guessed YA. The depth of emotion was a lot deeper than any other YA book I’ve read. Fans of Twilight will gobble this up!
So our story begins when, as a small child, the main character, Grace, is [...]
