Popped

by Carol Higgins Clark
- Rated 5 stars
“I really enjoyed this book. I love the characters and the way they interacted with each other. It makes me want to go to the balloon festival! I also liked the ending with Regan and Jack getting engaged. It was very romantic the way he proposed. The best thing is that this book was a quick fun read that made me laugh.”

THE BLACK DAHLIA

by James Ellroy
- Rated 4 stars
“I have been fascinated by the Black Dahlia mystery for a long time. This book is interesting in looking at it from the police point of view. It got alittle gorey for me but kept me turning the pages. The end was very good. Just as I was sure he had solved it something else would change. I'm not sure I want to see the movie now because the book was so good.”

Duchess of Asherwood

by Garatt
- Rated 5 stars
“This is one of my favorite books. I read it once a year. It is a great story with romance, humor and mystery. The main character even reads a "new" book by Jane Austen. I read it to my husband last year and he enjoyed it too! He even got me another copy for christmas because my copy was wearing out. I only wish I could get it in hardback.”

Darcy & Elizabeth: Nights and Days at Pemberley

by Linda Berdoll
- Rated 3 stars
“I liked the way the author spun some of the characters story lines. however, I didn't like the way she wrote it. I often was not sure if I was in the present or past as I read. This became very irritating after awhile. I did like the way Whickham got his in the end.”
