Certain Girls: A Novel 160 reviews Jennifer Weiner
Atria, 2008
LOVED IT.
+ Lacks the magic + Weiner Delivers a Range of Emotions and Likeable Characters - Recommended!
I am surprised to see that many Good In Bed readers didn't LOVE this book. Is it because of the end? I guess I am not a happily ever after person. To me, Good in Bed is all about Mothers and Daughters and the JOY (no pun intended) that comes from that bond....even though it's a small part of the ...

Blood Noir (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, Book 16) 294 reviews Laurell K. Hamilton
Berkley Hardcover, 2008
The stories have changed, but they're not bad!
+ love it
Ok, so I've read EVERY single book that LKH has written. Yes, her stories have changed to become a lot more about sex (a little ironic especially for the Anita Blake series since Anita started off as Ms. Chastity Belt). Still, it doesn't make the stories bad. That being said, I like romance ...

Masterful jewel

Days of Infamy 48 reviews Newt Gingrich, William R. Forstchen
Thomas Dunne Books, 2008
A well spun tale of what could have happened after December 7
+ Great book + Well Written
I was unaware of the "alternative history" approach the authors took in this novel, and was expecting more of a personal narrative from different points of view. Imagine my surprise when Yamamoto launched the third attack wave on Pearl Harbor! As I was reading it, I was thinking, "That didn't ...

Girls Like Us: Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon--And the Journey of a Generation 117 reviews Sheila Weller
Atria, 2008
Loved Girls Like Us
I loved this book. Being from the 60's generation I found myself actually being there with these real life enterainers. These singers and song writers were part of my youth and to read about their lives was such a treat. Sheila Weller has once again scored an A+.

Loving Frank: A Novel 191 reviews Nancy Horan
Ballantine Books, 2008
An Amazing Book
+ well don + Interesting, especially if you don't know much about Wright
I read this book based on a recommendation from a friend. Even though I am not usually a fan of historical fiction, I was interested, as I have been to Falling Water and knew a few things- or so I thought- about Frank Lloyd Wright.
I was truly captivated by this book. Loving Frank tells of the ...

Crippled Dreams & Love and Madness 1 review David Rehak
CreateSpace, 2008
long-ago settings, timeless themes
These two novels in one now re-published are already separately reviewed a bunch of times, probably far more effectively than I ever could manage, but I just wanted to add one thing. I'm amazed by the economy of words, never is a word wasted on unnecessary prose. The plot moves the story for long ...

Careless in Red: A Novel 130 reviews Elizabeth George
Harper, 2008
Thomas Lynley continues his journey
+ Careless in Red
....metaphorically speaking.
This is a first for George. As with all of her stories featuring Thomas Lynley there is a crime which must be solved, but in this case the crime is really incidental to the main thrust of the story, which is Lynley's journey (both physically and emotionally ...
