Book Review: Safe Harbor by Nicholas Sparks {3 of 25}

This book is really good.  I don’t read a lot of Nicholas Sparks, but this one was great!

In this book you meet Katie, a young wife who was abused by her husband.  She escapes finally and settles in a small town.  Katie falls in love with a young man who’s wife has passed away and he has 2 small children.  You grow to love Katie and Alex and the children.  Katie makes a friend, Joe, who moves into the cottage next door.  … { I want to say soo much more, but I am afraid I am going to give away the story!}

Needless to say, I was in tears at the end of the book… and they were happy tears !!

Book Review: Entice by Carrie Jones {2 of 25}

I finished this book rather quickly.  I loved it.  It reminds me alot of the Twilight series, but with Pixies instead of vampires.  

I will start off and say that I am TEAM ASTLEY !  I can't wait for the 4th book to come out in this series.

Trying out Blogo

Since I am looking for something to use on Mac to do blog posts, I heard about Blogo and have used it to do a couple of posts, and so far I like it better than MacJournal. It is much easier to use !! I downloaded the trial version, the paid version is $25.

The Quickie by James Patterson

While Kaleb was in the hospital, I was able to finish reading this book.  Of course, another James Patterson!  I am beginning to think I am addicted to his books!

This book, just like all his others, was GREAT!!

8th Confession by James Patterson

I finished this book on our trip to my parents this past weekend.  Great book … of course! I can’t wait for the next book to come out!!!

My Healthy Choice post gets a comment from someone on behalf of HC !!

A few days ago, I wrote a post about my confusion with a Healthy Choice meal I had with a mix up on the WW points.  Well, it seems that Healthy Choice read my post {I was shocked since I don't think I have much traffic to my blog}.
Here is the comment they left,

So sorry about the confusion with the packaging! Our nutritionist checked and the correct Weight Watchers amount *IS* 6 points. The team is working to correct the packaging, so thanks for pointing that out. I saw that you didn’t enjoy the Asian Potstickers, so I hope you'll try another one of our frozen meals. You can go to http://www.healthychoice.com/news-special-offers/ to download a $1 off coupon for any two frozen entrées. – Gena, on behalf of Healthy Choice

Again, I am shocked and pleased to know that they keep an eye out for problems with their product.  

Heat Wave by Richard Castle

I finally finished reading this book this weekend.  It was a short book but seemed to take me forever to finish it. {darn busy life !}

I liked the book, it wasn't as good as the James Patterson crime books, but it was good.

Distant Shores by Kristin Hannah

I finally finished reading this last night. I say finally because I can normally finish a book in a couple of days, but with my hubby being home and just being busy, I didn't get to read as much as I had hoped.
I really liked this book, the ending was great.  I was nice to be reading a romance book right before Valentine's Day.

Dear John movie

I went to see Dear John this past weekend.  I read the book last month.

I liked the movie for the most part.  I wasn't totally blow away by it.  The book of course, is alot better than the movie.  It was nice seeing Channing Tatum in uniform.

You've Been Warned by James Patterson

 

I finished this book tonight!  Another great book by James Patterson!  I am not sure if I like it better than the Women's Murder Club books or not.  I really was hoping for a "twist" at the end.

Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas by James Patterson

I love James Patterson, as you can tell by the books I read.  However, this books just wasn't the James Patterson I like.  It was too much of a love story for me.  It did have a good story line, but it wasn't what I expected from him.

Go Ask Alice by Anonymous

I read this book over the weekend.  It was written in the early 70's (when I was born).  Supposedly it's a real diary from a 13 year girl who becomes a drug addict.  I am not sure I agree that it is a real diary, but I can say it is a great book.  It is very enlightening into the life of a teenager.  I know times are different now, but I am sure kids are having the same experiences.  I recommend this book to anyone who is a parent, it will really open your eyes !!!

Dear John...

I finished reading Dear John this weekend and it was great !   I can’t wait to see the movie. 

I am not much of a romance reader, I prefer mystery J  This book wasn’t a sappy romance, it was a great love story.  I liked the fact that I could relate with John being military.  It helped that I was continually picturing Tatum as John.

2nd Chance by James Patterson

Saturday Morning I finished 2nd Chance by James Patterson.  This was a typical Patterson book, had the twist at the end that I always look forward to.  It was a good book, keep me interested the entire way thru it.

Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen

This book was recommended by one of the ladies at the library.  I have to say I was very skeptical since it is not the type of book I normally read.  I started reading it and got to a page somewhere in the100's and had to stop and read another book.  It was just not keeping my interest.  However, I did not give up, this weekend I decided I would finish the book!!  I got a bit farther and the story really started to come alive and the book was enjoyable.  There was a little mystery in it which I liked since most books I read are Mystery.  I understand now having finished the book that the beginning, as boring to me as it was, was needed for character development.  This is a book I love to see made into a movie... it's one of those kinds of books. 

Sail by James Patterson

I finished this book today, it didn't take me long to read it.  James Patterson is such a great author, every time I start to read one of his books I can't put them down!  And I always look forward to the twist in the end!

This book was great, just as all his book's I have read so far are great!!!

Honeymoon by James Patterson

I just finished reading Honeymoon by James Patterson.  I actually only started the book last night !!  It was that good.  I couldn't put it down. It is a typical book by James Patterson as it has the surprise ending.  I loved this book !

Red-Headed Stepchild by Jaye Wells

This book was great!  I have read the entire Twilight series and this book seems more like a grown up vampire book.  The author gives alot of background about vampires and there are other "creatures".

I learned about this book from a previous coworker, the author is a relative of her.  She has a blog.. Jaye Wells  She is working on another book, The Mage in Black!  I can't wait till it comes out.

SEALed with a Promise by Mary Margret Daughtridge

This was the 2nd book I read by Mary Margret Daughtridge, the first was SEALed with a Kiss.  I liked the first book better.  This book was good, but didn't seem to keep my interest as much as the first one.

Unnatural Exposure by Patricia Cornwell

Just finished this book today!!

It was a slow starting book, it was until the later chapters that the real excitement started, there was alot of back story in the beginning. But I was not disappointed at all.
