The Lightning Thief

I just finished a really good book by Rick Riordan called "The Lightning Thief". It is currently being made into a film, so you may have seen the trailers. They intrigued me, so I picked it up at the library and thoroughly enjoyed it. I am going to continue with the series as soon as my holds come in. I would recommend this for sure. Two thumbs up. It is about a boy who finds out he is actually the son of Poseidon, the Sea God, and the adventure it take him on. It is a young adult novel, so a quick read and fast paced. Jen

Tell No One

Just thought I'd let you know there will be a movie of Tell No One. I was searching to find out the order of the Myron Bolitar novels by Harlan Coben, and there was a trailer for it. Em

Promise Me...

I read another Harlen Coben book called 'Promise Me'. It wasn't as good as Tell No One, but I enjoyed it. It was a surprise in the end. It's a good easy read if you're looking for a new mystery. Em

Book of Tomorrows

I just finished reading The Book of Tomorrows by Cecelia Ahern. I really enjoyed it. It did have a little bit of language at some parts, which wasn't necessary, but the story was so good, I wanted to know what happened, and couldn't put it down. It is a story about a teenage girl whose father dies, so her and her mom have to move in with her Aunt. She finds a diary that mysteriously gets filled in for her ahead of time so she knows what is going to happen and can change things if she needs to. It sounds weird, but it was actually pretty good.

I Loved It!!

Well, I finally got to read Hunger Games and Catching Fire. I had a hard time putting each of them down, and read both in one sitting each. Mal-I heard that they are making a movie, so it should be good! Thanks for the recommendation Jen! I can't wait until August when the third book comes out. Em

what do you think?

What would you all think of having a virtual book club every other month with our web cams? We could pick an actual book to all read and then pick a time to discuss it. Just an idea, but let me know your feelings on that. Jen

Mystery with a twist...

I just finished an unexpectedly good book called "Ghosts and Bones" by Barbara Murray. I picked it up at the library on the new shelf and it turned out to be a suspenseful read. Think a cross between the Sixth Sense and a murder mystery. I would recommend it. Keeps you guessing and is generally clean. Jen
