Review:This book really surprised me. I'd hear many great reviews for it but it didn't seem like the type of story I'd like personally. My book club recently listed this book as one of the candidates we were going to read for the month. Initially, I voted against it. But the majority was in favor for it and so this book was chosen regardless. It's one of the few times I'm glad my vote didn't win.

The main character is very likable and you become immediately invested in him. The writing is very e... Read more

Review:This book is all about relationships in our world. It addresses the role fairy tales in our lives, growing up as a unique individual in a conformist society, the trials and tribulations of blended families, and a host of interesting people whose stories are revealed as the reader progresses through the book. Definitely a thought-provoking read! Read more

Review:I really enjoy this book by Terry Pratchett. The characters are all memorable. The humor is especially funny to my sensibilities, but it is well written enough to appeal to most folks. On top of that, it tells a fun and ridiculous underdog story. If you want to laugh, read this book! Read more

Review:Wow I loved this so much! It really struck an emotional chord with me. These are broken and bruised characters who have lived hard, but you can't help but love. Even through all their mistakes and misgivings. It hits home because we always say that we are not our past, but the past is so hard to overcome - especially the choices made as young adults. It's why it is painful to be around old friends and family if you have a past you aren't proud of. Just being in their proximity makes you feel lik... Read more

Review:This was my first Wodehouse book. While I did enjoy it, it didn't leave me rushing to read another. I do expect though to read more of them when I'm in a certain mood for a quick, witty, comfy read. Read more

Review:The book was a continuous flow of swirling storms that keep building as if its only purpose is to keep us from the resolution. When you are finally brought to the climatic events (the two hockey games of Beartown vs Hed), they are brushed over so quickly and, later, totally ignored.

Backman does show hints of his writing genius here: he can rip your heart out with a simple phrase. But, at times, a couple of these moments are like hitting an unexpected wall in a maze (for example, when Ben... Read more

Review:I enjoyed this book, although Portia was annoying at times. The book had a good theme and real characters. I had to keep reading to see what would happen to them and was not disappointed. This book is definitely worth reading. Read more

Review:What could possibly go wrong between two people who have been in love since they were kids? Everything! This book is a laugh out loud, could only happen in New Orleans kind of a book! This has a mix of everything for laughter, romance, being afraid of the truth, to hurt....give it a read, you will be handcuffed to this sex cop for sure! Read more

Review:Full honesty first...I hate The Bachelor! So when I got the ARC for this book...for which I thank the ...I was not sure if I was going to get through it, never mind enjoy it. And while it took me a chapter or two, I then fell in love with this laugh-out-loud fun fest!!
Gage and Ellie are comedy gold. These two snark-traders are much more alike than either want to acknowledge...and that makes their interactions even funnier. Both have their reasons for taking partnin this reality show. And whi... Read more

Review:When I first started this book, I really sure how I felt about the hero. Luke had supposedly left 3 women at the altar, he was gruff and rude, but the town around him all considered him a good guy. So who was the real Luke?
Jordan (our female lead) was definitely easier to connect too and I enjoyed how she went about getting to know Luke and the people of Lucky Hollow.
The story surrounding Jordan and Luke was cute and a unique premise, but to be honest the stellar secondary cast is what m... Read more
