What can I say... I love to read. I own a ton of books and I am slowly trying to read
them all... but of course as I go along something new and interesting comes out or
I get a great recommendation and more is added to my great list of "I Plan to Read"...

  • The Sweet Far Thing
    • Rated 5 stars

    I loved this series and am sad that this is the end. However, the ending did kind of leave it open for a fourth novel, so who knows?

  • A Thousand Splendid Suns
    • Rated 5 stars

    AMAZING!! I absolutley loved this book. The story was soo gripping that you could not put it down. I can see why people liked this one even more then the Kite Runner. I know when a book is good when it actually had me holding my breath through one of the scenes! The ending was bittersweet and in a way I wish things could have turned out differently, but as in life not all things have a happy ending.

  • The Shack
    • Rated 4 stars

    I picked this up not really knowing what it would be about. I was surprised when I realized it was about God. I almost didn't want to read it thinking it would be too preachy and not really up my alley, but I was wrong. I found that the book portrayed God in a way that I have always imagined God like. Not a believer in the man made church, but a believer in people and God's creation. God is neither male or female, but an entity we can not even fathom.

  • Gomorrah
    • Rated 3 stars

    I found the information in this book really interesting and was first introduced to this book while in Italy and staying with a friends cousins who is a carabinieri. I was interested to see what really happens behind the scenes which you really don't see while you are there, unless you are part of a camorra family. I can't believe some of the things that go on there and the most frightening is the illegal toxic waste dumping. The book itself is hard to read, especially if you are not familiar with all the names of the people and places.

  • The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
    • Rated 5 stars

    I really enjoyed this novel. It was a fantastic page turner. It took it little bit to get into, but once you did you could not put it down. I was curious to know what happened to Harriet. The characters were really great too and the relationship between Blomvkist and Salander was entertaining.

  • McNally's Puzzle (Archy McNally Novels (Paperback))
    • Rated 3 stars

    It was an ok book. The writing was interesting and amusing at some points but also made some references to things that were over my head and not my generation. It could be compared as the male version of the Stephanie Plum series (however, Plum series is much better in my opinion). The plot was pretty predictable but the writing kept it interesting.

    I really enjoyed this book. At the beginning it was a slow start, but then you really got into it. The setting is completley different from anything I have ever read before. At first I wasn't so sure that the life of neanderthals would be so interesting, but Jean Auel did a amazing job of capturing their everyday life in the most fascinating way. I hope that the rest of the series is just as good!

  • Girl with a Pearl Earring
    • Rated 4 stars

    I bought this book in a used book store in Ireland. I had read the "Lady and the Unicorn" previously and liked it, therefore I thought this would be just as good. I liked the way the story flowed and the descriptions really painted a vivid image in your mind. However, I felt that the story itself was lacking something.

    • Rated 5 stars

    This was my first paranormal vampire romance after having read Twilight. I was never one for vampire books but after having read Twilight I wanted to try something with more of an adult theme. I thought that this novel was really good. I was really drawn into the characters. I still remember when I bought the book the cashier said to me that "this series is like cocaine" and I think she may have been right. I think I am addicted.
