I purchased "The Bobby GOld Stories" because I find Anthony Bourdain so entertaining on The Travel Channel and The Food Network. He has such interesting stories and a unique way of looking at his adventures.
I didn't finish this book - I wasn't interested in the character or the storyline ... even after I read about a third of the book. I just didn't find it entertaining at all.

Unlike all of the other Grisham books that I've read this one was NOT one that I just couldn't put down. It was a slow read, and at times I was frustrated by details that didn't bring the character or the story to life. Did pick up at the end and had a good twist.

Wonderful story that teaches us a few lessons. Started reading this book one night, and couldn't put it down until I finished the story. Melody really brings the dog to life!

I bought this book because it was book#2 in the Circle Trilogy. I only got through half of the first in the series, "Morrigan's Cross". I didn't like any of the characters, and the story never captivated me. This is so unusual for a Nora Roberts novel - I think I've read all of her other trilogies as well as stand alones, and have loved them all. This series was a hugh disappointment.

Fast read that I didn't want to put down. I kept thinking that I knew 'Who Done It', and changing my mind. As with other books by this author, I was wrong in the end. Loved this book and look forward to reading more by Mary Jane Clar!

This book seemed to start out slow for me, but I stuck with and am glad that I did. I ended up loving the characters and how they helped each other through difficult times in their lives. The ending really surprised me, in a good way. Not at all what I would have expected, which I always enjoy. There were some quite humorous scenes that made me laugh out loud. Cutter is a unique character and somebody that it would be fun to hang out with.

This is the first of Karen White's books that I have read. All of her characters came to life, and I couldn't put the book down. Wonderful read that makes us think about how our childhood experiences shape our lives, but it doesn't stop there. It shows us that we are responsible for overcoming any obstacles life presents us, and we are responsible for our own happiness.

Fast read - didn't want to put it down. Reminds us that we need to be like little children, talk to God, trust that he is always with us, and he will answer our prayers.

I was so excited to start the Circle Triology. But I could not get into Morrigan's Cross. This is so unusual for a Nora Roberts novel. Normally, I am captivated from page one and can't put her novels down. I struggled through half of this book, and finally gave up. I kept trying to go back to it, but had no interest in continuing the book. I hate not finishing books, but this one I could not stand to read. Might be that it was related to vampires, or that none of the characters appealed to me. I normally find something in Nora Robert's characters that I can identify with, but this book was the exception. I gave up and finally decided to get rid of the entire trilogy. What a disppointment!

I thoroughly enjoyed the book, even after all of the negative publicity surrounding the 2009 Season of 'John & Kate Plus Eight'. I have been a fan of the show since the first season, and have been inspired by how Kate has been able to juggle the joys and frustrations of raising eight children. The book gives alot of background information on the struggles that John and Kate went through, with lose of income, and their position on 'selective reduction'. Kate is very honest in this book about how she felt during these times, but she and John both depended on prayer and their faith to get them through the hard times. It's a small reminder that our lives are in God's hands; we can all use this reminder.
That said, I can say that I've noticed a difference in the tv show this season, and there seems to be less focus on how they are training the children to do the right things, and more on the events that are planned for them by the producers. Hopefully this is just a bump in the road, and this family will get back to what God has planned for them. I believe the children are a vehicle from God to get his message out to the people.

Like most of Mary Higgins Clark's novels, this was a page turner. I was a little disappointed at first, because I thought I had solved the mystery, but was pleased when there were some twists thrown into the story along the way, especially the one at the very end. I did not see that coming until very late in the story. This is one of the reasons that I enjoy reading Mary Higgins Clark's novel so much - she is always able to provide a surprise at the end, but doesn't leave us hanging. I finished this book over a weekend - did not want to put it down.

"Rainwater" captured me from the first page, and held my attention all the way through. A very different Sandra Brown book, but a nice departure. Gives the reader much to think about along the journey, with surprises along the way. Highly recommend.

LOVED IT! A friend recommended Mary Kay Andrews to me; this is the first one of her books that I've read, and it was a delight. Light, humorous, fast read. Great escape for lunch hour or after work. I didn't want the story to end, I was having so much fun spending time with both Weezie and BeBe. Fortunately, the story doesn't have to end with Savannah Blues. I already have 'Savannah Breeze' which continues with BeBe's story. You'll want to order both books, so you can start on 'Savannah Breeze' as soon as you finish 'Svannah Blues'!

A humorous story that helped me get into the Christmas spirit. We can't always depend on old holiday traditions, sometimes a change is just what we need. A quick and easy read which is just what I like in the days up to Christmas.
