This was a quick, fabulous read. I enjoy love stories and this definitely qualifies. It made me nostalgic for first love, young love. Definitely recommend.

kendra I haven't read this one yet, but loved the audiobook of her latest The Sun is Also a Star 7y

Coming Home | Rosamunde Pilcher

I haven't read this book in years, but it kept cropping up in my mind. I read it again this weekend and fell in love with it all over again. A very nostalgic read for me. Reading September by Rosamunde Pilger next.

The Fate of the Tearling | Erika Johansen
Mehso-so

I finished this book last weekend. Still not sure what I thought about the ending. I had a hard time relating to Kelsea in the first two books and this book wasn't much better. I'm glad I finished the series, but not sure I will be re-reading this series in the future.

Alright, I must admit that I have never read this book. It was not required reading in any of my English classes in high school. I frankly never considered reading it, until I was searching for something to read in the digital library. I thought I would give it a try. I must say, I was impressed. I enjoyed it more than I thought would. I am tempted to read the sequel to the book, just to see how Scout turned out.

Beastly | Alex Flinn

This was a good retelling of Beauty and the Beast for teenagers. I also read the novella Lindy's Diary which is a good companion piece. This book is part of a series, I will have to check out the other books that go with this one.

Red Queen | Victoria Aveyard

Fans of the Hunger Games will like this book and the second book in this series, the Glass Sword. A dystopian story with a female heroine who is always willing to sacrifice herself for those she loves. It was a bit predictable but overall a good read. The third book in the series will be released in February 2017.

Just finished this book. Not typically my style, I prefer happy endings. However, it was a satisfying read.

This book was intense. Sad story of WWI that made me very depressed for the people of the world. Like all other Jojo Mayes' books, this one was a wild ride and involved a happy ending. I will have to give it a thumbs up.

This was an excellent read. It is amazing to me the sacrifices people make to care for the people they love.

Wedding Night: A Novel | Sophie Kinsella
Pickpick

Another day, another Sophie Kinsella book. This one also had many cringe worthy moments and I must admit I have a problem relating to her female characters. They do things I would NEVER do! I stuck it out and finished it because I knew there would be a happy ending, and I was right!

There were many times during the reading of this book that I wanted to just stop reading. I could NOT identify with the main character and she consistently made decisions that I would cringe about. However, I am glad I stuck it out. This book had my requisite happy ending and I wish there was a sequel!

I enjoyed this book even more with the second read. My only sadness is that the third book in this trilogy doesn't come out until next year. Although I think the first book in this series is my favorite, this is also a great read.

Radiance: A Novel | Grace Draven

I re-read this book today because I am waiting for a hold at the virtual library. I really like this book because of the well drawn out characters and the submersion into another world. I will be reading the sequel next again as I continue to wait for the next Jojo Mayes book from the library.

Another day, another Jojo Moyes book. I liked this one too, a lot. I love how she puts her characters in impossible situations and then bails them out spectacularly. I also love a good love story. Her characters are all so real, real problems and real life. I will be reading another one of her books next, not sure which one!

nickimags It's a great book! 7y

After You: A Novel | Jojo Moyes
Pickpick

I couldn't put this book down, read it from start to finish in one day. I even was up until midnight to complete it. The main character, Lou, is reminiscent of Bridget Jones but with a harder edge. There is also a large dose of class distinction in this book which makes me feel sad. However, overall it was a wonderful read and I will be sorry to return this one to the library.
