Review:The way the story unfolded was different. I liked the characters and found them to be a good match for each other. The secondary characters were also well developed and the way they fit into the story was also well done. Daniel is a powerful character and new book boyfriend material. Read more

Review:Such a enjoyable book to read. A unique setting with a different take on magic and a sorcery world that is believable. I like the characters and how they interacted. Worthy of a few reads. I recommend Ursula Le Guin as superb writer. Read more

Review:A very interesting read. I could not put the first book down,and can't wait to start the next! I am so disappointed in myself that I've only recently discovered Octavia Butler's works. I can't wait to catch up!! Read more

Review:Slow-starting, as others have said, but the writing drew me in, which was a good thing, because much of the background detail was not provided until deep into the story. Indeed, some rather crucial details did not appear until near the end.

Shevek's twin worlds are not appealing: his native planet is as socially stratified as any communist state and just as poor, while his ancestral planet is a gender-segregated hidebound capitalism that quells mass protest with helicopter gunships.

Review:I enjoyed this read immensely and will recommend it to many friends of mine. Pedro and Titas love is surely one to cherish. However, I personally wanted more for John whom I believe deserved Titas love just as much as Pedro. The ending was strange and left me confused, and heartbroken that they couldn't be together officially in the real world. Other than that this was a good book. Read more

Review:I feel the representation of autism was poorly done. She came across as someone who was experiencing trauma rather than autism. She was unnecessary brash and very passive aggressive. Due to her previous abusive relationship with her ex not necessarily due to autism in my opinion. Also, he was an enabler, a nice guy but an enabler I wish he gave her space and let her come to him and talking things through instead of smothering at times. I did not like her personality at all she was just rude and ... Read more

Review:Crusie has spun an interesting web of love, lies and chocolate. It was so good I told my husband what was happening as I was reading. It got to the point of him asking me what it happened in the book while he was at work.
The only annonying factor was the phrase, "oh, hell." It really got on my nerves. Treva and Maddie both used it entirely too often. Either Crusie meant couldn't think of another phrase or I missed the underlying point completely. Either way, the book is a page turner... Read more

Review:Just as fairytales have darkness in their midst, often novels with whimsical titles have a wee bit as well. Such is the case with Lauren Weisberger’s book WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU LULULEMONS. That’s not to say that it isn’t a riot, because it is. in Greenwich, three women come together, each with different backgrounds, each strong in their own right. Each struggling with something. One, something major.

Karolina, a former model, married to a senator, soon to announce his run for president. Arr... Read more

Review:Ghosted is part love story and part mystery that sounded exactly like a book I would enjoy. I had high expectations for this book and was very excited to have the chance to read an early copy. I must say I didn’t love it as much as wanted to. The pacing was slow, there were some interesting parts, especially towards the end, but I also was quite bored at times. The mystery, when it was revealed, wasn't surprising at all. Ghosted was not a bad book, it just missed the mark for me.

Review:Whether you've followed "Hey Ladies" and Caroline and Michelle from the early days at The Toast or you are just now joining, you are ahead for so many laughs. They've captured the conversation and make you feel like you are a fly on the wall sneaking a peak at the computer screen. So happy it's now a book. It's definitely one worthy of it's own email thread! Read more
