A Total Waste of Makeup. This was kind of like reading ‘Confessions of a Shopaholic,’ which I really didn’t enjoy. This was a little bit better. It was funny, but again, too much bad language, which took away from the book. However, the characters are hilarious and I really enjoyed their over-the-top personalities.
Say You’re One of Them. The above book and this one were recommended to me by my sister. This book got amazing reviews, was Oprah’s 2009 Book Club Selection and I, for the life of me, cannot figure out why. I really didn’t like this book. It was slow, difficult to read (because of using the native dialect), and anti-climatic. It seems everyone else out there would recommend it, but I definitely would not.
Pieces of the Heart. May I just say again, I love Karen White’s books. She creates the most amazing and real characters that you come to feel like are some of your closest friends. This book taught me a lot about improving yourself and moving forward, which I appreciated as well.
In Search of Heaven. This was the first of Anita Stansfield’s books that I’ve read. I really enjoyed it! The Barrington family and their journeys are so well written and interesting to follow. I found myself really wanting to know what happened next. I look forward to reading the next three books in this series.
18 more to go to reach my goal of 52 books read this year!!!!
Have you read The Mortal Instruments Series? There are now (as of last month)4 books in the series. I read the Twilight series in 4 days and loved it... now, of course, with the movies and all the hype, it's lost a lot of its appeal. The Mortal Instruments series is A-MAZING! Couldn't read fast enough and Soni devoured them after me! Costco was selling the first 3 in a pack, not sure if it's still there, but I highly recommend! They are bringing these to the theaters too... Hope that doesn't ruin them!
