Finally...

I got to read Austenland. I really enjoyed it. Thanks for the recommendation Jen and Mandy! It was a nice easy read, and it was perfect to pass the time on my first day of NO WORK!! Emily

Hi girls. I finished Spare Change - a quick, easy, feel-good book. I am now reading The Last Lecture. So far I'm quite enjoying it. It is about a professor who finds out at about age 41 that he has pancreatic cancer and this is kind of his memories and bits of wisdom. I'll add it to the list when I finish if I think you should read it. Apparently quite a few people I've talked to really enjoyed it. Steve said one of the girls at work says her family has about 12 copies of it. Mom

Spare Change

I finally read Spare Change. It was a good quick read that passed the afternoon at work. It is good if you are looking for a cute romance. I am excited for my next book though. I have always wanted to read Dan Brown's Angels and Demons and the Da Vinci Code but could never get through them because I was always so confused as to what artwork or statue or location was being discussed. I have decided to give it one more try only this time I went out and bought the illustrated version so I can follow along better and have an idea of what he is referring to. I'll get back to you and let you know if the pictures and maps helped to make the book a more interesting read!

Austenland

Jen reccommended this book to me a while ago. I read it in 1 day! (it's only 195 pages) So Mal, Tiff, Em, a slow day/eve at work and you could read a book I really enjoyed it. Mandy

Fool Me Twice

Okay, I had a very unproductive day while the kids ran around in 30 degree weather and I managed to finish another book. I've added it to the list. It's called Fool Me Twice by Stephanie Black. She's an LDS author, so it's very clean. I really enjoyed the plot line, it kept me interested the whole time. I could've done without the cheesy LDS story line that was obviously the way she could get Covenant to publish it. If modern stories don't have LDS characters in them they won't even look at it. It was just too bad, because the rest of the book was great. If she had published it without religious characterization I probably would have like it even more. Still, it was an easy read with some good hooks and twists, so if you want some fun summer reading reserve it at the library. Jen

Tell...Everyone!

I just finished Tell No One and I really enjoyed it. A good summer sizzler. It kept me guessing through the entire thing, and then threw a surprise wallop at the end. Only a couple of minor language things throughout, but generally well written. Thanks for the heads up on Charley's Web. It came from the library and I was about to delve in, but maybe I won't now.... Jen

Charley's Web

I stopped reading this book because it was a little smutty and the language wasn't the greatest, just to let everyone know. I'm retracting my recommendation. Em
