Hot Stuff 34 reviews Janet Evanovich, Leanne Banks
St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2007
Patrick Pugg is Quite a Crazy Character!
This is a romance novel with a bit of mystery mixed in to spice it up! Crazy characters from Patrick Pugg (whom always refers to himself in the 3rd person) provides lots of humor while you read this novel. I also enjoyed the character Julie, Cate's neighbor, with her wacky stories about her family ...

Penguin Books, 2006
Satirical and sensitive
+ A pleasant surprise + Great writing, great characters
This is the story of two families, each family headed up by a strong-willed academic man. These two patriarchs are opposites and enemies (or rivals, if you want to be optimistic). The emotional center of the book revolves around Howard's struggling marriage to Kiki. This novel is satirical and ...

This is a sweet, light story about a group of friends from high school who have lost touch and moved on with a life of their own, with the exception of Tom. He was the one string that kept in touch and tied them all together. He had a very special, touching relationship with each of them, and ...

Whitethorn Woods 87 reviews Maeve Binchy
Knopf, 2007
traditions change, too
+ Short Stories Form an Engrossing Tale + Reflections of faith.
Binchy's characters are so intensely real, it take a while to realize each person also represents a social layer and each person's choice also implies a political truth. The vivid personalities capture you as they gather into a community of individuals doing their work or committing their crime in ...

Life's a Beach 34 reviews Claire Cook
Voice, 2007
Much, *much* better.
This is the second of Ms Cook's novels I've read, after 'Must Love Dogs'. It is a far better accomplishment than that one: here's we have a cohesive storyline, she deals with characters in a much more proficient way, she's able to juggle plotlines that are worth juggling...in the end, everything ...

Sheer Abandon: A Novel 21 reviews Penny Vincenzi
Doubleday, 2007
SHEER PLEASURE
+ No BOREDOM HERE
This is the first Penny Vincenzi novel I'd ever read, and I was hooked from page one. It takes awhile to keep the cast of thousands straight, but once you do, you can't read fast enough. Vincenzi is my favorite kind of author -- she gives you drama, excitement, great characters, lots of plot, and ...

The Guy Not Taken: Stories 59 reviews Jennifer Weiner
Atria, 2006
Classic Jennifer Weiner in The Guy Not Taken
+ EXCELLENT Seller!
I greatly enjoyed this collection of short stories. Most of the tales revolve around the author's recurring themes of abandonment and self worth and allow the reader glimmers into ideas that obviously developed into her full length novels, and perhaps ones as yet unwritten.

Barbara Kingsolver has struck a wonderful balance among educating readers about gardening, slow food, food science and telling a great tale of a family's adventure of local eating. The recipes are great, too!
