School's Out 5 reviews Christophe Dufosse
Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007
A truly creepy thriller!
+ Philosophic thriller
School's Out is a really intelligent, dark, and weirdly funny thriller. The students in Pierre Hoffman's classroom are out to get him, but he's not sure why, and the disturbing messages he keeps receiving aren't helping. I couldn't put this book down! Definitely for fans of Donna Tartt's The ...

Lace 5 reviews Shirley Conran
Touchstone, 2007
Loved Every Page!
+ Really enjoyed it. + Great fun
I thought this book was fantastic! It was so full of drama, excitement, love/lust, scandal, fabulous lifestyles, and exotic places. Having it set back in time a little was really great also because I don't read to many novels that take place between 50's-80's so that was really fascinating. It kept ...

Not Just Chick Lit
+ A Light & Enjoyable Read!
Saralee's books are not just for women. I've been a reader of her books for years and I think they are, simply, perfectly written and perfectly enjoyable. I've met a great many SR fans, but Ive never met anyone who hadn't wished that her next book would come out sooner.

I picked up this book at Borders and liked what the jacket said about women and witchcraft and "careful what you wish for."

Loved it and am going ...

Falling Out of Fashion 13 reviews Karen Yampolsky
Kensington, 2007
A Somewhat Smarter Chick Lit Offering
While I won't say this is a great book, I did find it to be quite entertaining. It didn't have the humor or snap of The Devil Wears Prada or some others of the same genre, but Yampolsky did a good job of creating mostly believable characters with a storyline that rang true, as well. This may not ...
