This novel is poignant...an excellent read. Very moving. I can't stress enough how great it was to read. If you've ever lost someone, or if you've ever wondered about heaven, this book will move you.

What My Mother Doesn't Know 209 reviews Sonya Sones
Simon Pulse, 2003
One of My Favorite Books
+ what my mother doesnt know + "What My Mother Dosent Know" Book Review
I absolutely adore this book! I picked it up off of a Books-A-Million bargain table on a whim, thinking it would be a nice light read to occupy my time on a way home. It turned out that this is one of the best young adult books I have ever read. I leant it to two of my friends, both of whom agree ...

Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1) 2795 reviews Stephenie Meyer
Little, Brown Young Readers, 2006
Hook, line and sinker!
+ most awesome book ever
I'm sitting at my desk at work rocking back and forth in my chair, partly because of a caffeine buzz, but mostly because of the anticipation I feel about the Twilight movie coming out this Friday. I'm 32 years old and I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm absolutely in love with the entire series. ...

The House on the Strand 39 reviews Daphne du Maurier
University of Pennsylvania Press, 2000
Sublime
+ Spoiled pleasures + Bizzarre, but one of the best time-travel stories
This is about my favourite du Maurier novel - and close to my favourite novel, full stop. It is a brilliantly original time travel story, as well as a compelling exploration of addiction.
Dick, unhappy and dissatisfied in his contemporary world, finds refuge of a sort in 14th century Cornwall ...

This book explores the life of one girl and the perceptions others have of her. The layout of the text gives the story more power and immediacy. The points of view change quickly from one character to the next. This book could be used as a springboard for some interesting discussions about duty, ...

Sad Cypress: A Hercule Poirot Mystery (Agatha Christie Collection) 2 reviews Agatha Christie
Black Dog & Leventhal Publishers, 2007
Good Christie somewhat marred by strained resolution
Christie fans who haven't yet read this one shouldn't be disappointed. For the most part it's a satisfying yarn with Poirot (unaccompanied by Captain Hastings) using the little grey cells at full bore. The novel has a somewhat unusual structure, starting at the trial of the woman who is to be ...

Read aloud & loved by all on a rainy camping trip
+ Very good book. Not happy, but good. + A quick read despite the 465 pages
We went on a camping trip with a bunch of teenagers 16 & above and all it did was rain, so to pass the time, we took turns reading aloud, and just could not put this book down. You will not easily forget Delores, because she lives in many of us. You will not be disappointed with this book, we all ...
