When Beauty Tamed The Beast

When Beauty Tamed the Beast by Eloisa James

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I kind of view the Dr.House similarity to be a cop-out, but it was still a good book that I didn't want to end. The beginning was kind of tedious, though.

Seven Secrets Of Seduction

Seven Secrets of Seduction by Anne Mallory

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I liked the depths of both the hero & heroine.
That was really nice. There wasn't some stupid
mystery to solve or anything… I figured things out,
but I wasn't necessarily shouting silently for
the heroine to smarten up & realize what was happening.

Through Her Eyes

Through Her Eyes by Jennifer Archer

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


It got pretty annoying after a while, let's just say. Henry was 17, afterall, and the author tapped into the mind of a 17 year old emotionally disturbed boy quite exceptionally, and repeated his horrid poetry over & over & over & over again. UGH!

The Duff

The DUFF by Kody Keplinger

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Well, I have to start by saying that this might give the younger crowd the wrong idea about sex. It might glamorize it a bit. If you're a teenager, and are thinking about sex, know that it's not a bandaid. It might feel that way, at first, but it's not & never will be. Those feelings of being dirty & stuff, after having meaningless sex with some dude that may or may not think you're the sexiest person in their vicinity, are real. They last. They leave a lasting impression on your soul & your conscience. It's a big decision, but one that some girls think is just one more step to adulthood/non-losertown. It's not.

Anyway, I guess it was an ok read. Nothing jumped out at me, though. Other than the sex-glamorization thing.

Remember Me?

Remember Me? by Sophie Kinsella

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


I think the only thing holding my attention throughout the thing was the amnesia, and for everyone to treat her like she was a retard, that's just… odd.

Everything & everyone seemed a little too flaky for my preferences, but some people like that type of thing. If you like light, chick-litified books, this one's for ya! It's got a good premise, but it could have been dealt with a lot better, I think.

Where's the amnesia books?! I want to start reading them.

Harvesting The Heart

Harvesting the Heart by Jodi Picoult

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Possibly the worst last-half of a book I've read in a long time. Why did she spend so much time on the getting-to-the-reconciliation part than she did in the son's recovering part? Not cool! Nobody wants to read about a bypass surgery unless they're about to get one, and maybe not even then. UGH! There should be a huge warning about that scene.

The Story Sisters

The Story Sisters by Alice Hoffman

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I didn't think I'd come across another book that had as much power over me as The Lovely Bones or Lucky, but this one? This one had every element I love about books in it. It was beautiful at times, and so very true to life.

I honestly thought all three sisters were going to meet up with loves in their destined places, boy was I wrong! lol.

I like that aspect of the story, too.

I have a lot of things in common with this story. Some were painful to realize, though.

I didn't think there'd be another book that made me feel throughout it, and I was pleasantly surprised with this one. I wish I got on here last night when I finished it, so that all those emotions would be fresh in my mind, but suffice it to say that this has been another journey into my past as well as into a wonderful story, and I loved every minute of it!
