The Secret History of the Pink Carnation

by Lauren Willig
- Rated 4 stars
“I honestly started this book thinking that I wasn't going to like it. I did have a little trouble getting into it in the beginning, but then somewhere along the line I got completely absorbed. Quite a fun, light read for the summertime. Just what the doctor ordered right now. :)”

Sex and the South Beach Chicas

by Caridad Scordato

“I was disappointed that there wasn't more "oomph" to the plot. It was kind of bland and generic chick lit.”

Heart-Shaped Box: A Novel

by Joe Hill
- Rated 2 stars
“I was actually quite disappointed in this book. I am a big King fan, The Stand being one of my all time favorite books. I heard a lot of hype about this book before I read it, and apparently, for me, that's the kiss of death. Nothing ever lives up to the hype. lol

I found the characters to be very unlikeable and the plot meandered with no real direction. I got into it around page 50, and then lost interest about 3/4 the way through. I did finish it but it was one of those books that I just didn't CARE if I finished. ”

Bitsy's Bait and Bbq

by Pamela Morsi
- Rated 4 stars
“I was attracted to this book solely by the title, as there is actually a Bait and BBQ back where I grew up. I wound up reading this book in just a couple of nights. It's a light, fun, and charming read with strong themes of redemption, forgiveness, family, friendship, and community. ”

Succubus Blues

by Richelle Mead

“It was a struggle for me to get into this book. However, about halfway through, it took a turn for the interesting. I found the lesson in nephilim to be very interesting, and I wound up enjoying this book in the end. ”

The God of Small Things

by Arundhati Roy
- Rated 4 stars
“It's been awhile since I have read this book. Years, in fact, and it's a stretch of my memory to remember the details of the story. However, I do remember that I had a hard time getting into but once I *did* get into it, I was very glad I stuck with it. ”

Austenland: A Novel

by Shannon Hale
- Rated 4 stars
“I listened to this book on a road trip recently and really enjoyed it. The narrator was a little over the top but that made the story all the more engaging for me. The story is well written, light, and really funny. I laughed out loud in several places. It made a great trip companion. :)”
