Please don't judge a shelf by it's covers! I have such an eclectic reading style and I think it appears exaggerated in a forum such as this.

(Quick bookkeeping note...please don't request friendship without a little hello note. This is not an application process but it could at least tell me a little about yourself and what we have in... more »

    Fun for YA reading. Not really well written and a bit annoying at times but did keep me turning pages. I'll finish the series. It isn't one of those YA books that adults can really appreciate as great writing...but it is for for kids.

    Great book! I loved the journal reading storyline...made the characters much more real in my opinion. My favorite character is the "enigmatic" dad!!!

    I really enjoyed this book! There were a lot of things I feel like I was left a little hanging on...but I guess that's why there is a trilogy! I enjoyed the writing, the imagery, and the characters. I have to admit that as a Christian I did not find what all the "fuss" regarding this book was.

  • The Ten Most Beautiful Experiments
    • Rated 2 stars

    I did not enjoy this at all. In fact, had a tough time finishing. I didn't feel it was too technical or a difficult read. I just really didn't enjoy the experiments which were chosen.

  • Never Let Me Go
    • Rated 4 stars

    I really like this one! It was very dark and semi-suspenseful. I enjoyed how the author only allowed small bits of information but really made you work out for yourself the things to which he was alluding.

  • The Eyre Affair
    • Rated 5 stars

    I'm not sure it gets any more clever than this! I loved all of the word play and literary innuendo. So much fun that I'm disappointed I don't have the next series book here and ready to read. This is a series I will own!

  • The Mercy of Thin Air: A Novel
    • Rated 4 stars

    I really liked this! I loved the "voice" of Razi and how the stories of her and Amy would together. I must admit that I had figured out what happened w/ Andrew fairly early on in the book but it did not take away from my enjoyment at all. Great characters, IMO. I liked Razi, Etoile, and Andrew much better than Amy, Scott, and Chloe, though. But the life parallels of Andrew and Amy were cool.

  • Blood Brothers
    • Rated 3 stars

    This was my first time to read anything by Nora Roberts. I liked it but there were some things that just really kept bugging me. I think that has more to do w/ the fact that I normally don't like romance at all and so all of the "lovey-dovey", perfect relationship right off the bat, people too good to be true, just really got on my nerves. I enjoyed the main plot, though, and will definitely finish the trilogy.

    Not a bad book but not one of my favorites. Some of it rang true but other parts just seemed to be contrived. I've been out of school for almost 20 years but, "the Marthas"??? Really????? I just can't imagine a group of any high school girls as described. Kind of ridiculous. I did like the way you could read her pain in her silence. I think the author did a really nice job of writing her as she sinks into depression.

  • Vanishing Acts: A Novel
    • Rated 4 stars

    Very quick, chick lit read. I enjoyed it a whole lot. I especially liked the way the author handled the narration...and then the "twist" revelation about the narrative. Very compelling storyline with likable (although slightly too good to be true?) characters. I also enjoyed the setting of the book. I think it made for a nice Native American subplot that I liked.
