Many, many years ago, I read Wally Lamb’s first book She’s Come Undone. I can honestly say that the only thing I remember about that book is that the main character’s mother is killed when a tractor trailer crashes in to her tollbooth. Consequently, I think about that every time I drive through a toll booth. Anyway, when I read it, I happened to live with two other girls, one of whom had had the pleasure of knowing Wally Lamb as a teacher in her […]
117 Days
I’ve been sitting on this review for awhile now, and not just because I procrastinate with the best of them when it comes to my reviews, but because I honestly do not know how I feel about this book. I think I know how I’m supposed to feel about it, but I’m not even a hundred percent sure of that. I’m sure you know the story, especially since the movie came out a few months ago. Quiet, shy, relatively poor Louisa loses her job at […]
Please don’t kick me out…
So everyone loves this book. Everyone. It’s been all over CBR. And it popped up as $2.99 or something the other day on Amazon, so I downloaded it. And… I didn’t much care for it. Can I still be in CBR? I mean, it was okay. There were a few funny moments, and I laughed a few times, but I expected lots of snark and banter and wit and… I don’t know. It just didn’t blow my skirt up. Lainie is an actor in a […]
Nick Fox is no Ranger, but that might not be a bad thing
Do you remember that show on USA called White Collar with Matt Bomer where he was an art thief who worked with the FBI but still kind of ran scams on the side? That’s kind of the premise of Janet Evanovich’s Fox and O’Hare series, but instead of sexy Matt Bomer, we get sexy Nick Fox, and instead of semi-boring Peter we get Special Agent Kate O’Hare. And instead of catching art thieves and staying stateside, Evanovich and Goldberg (who wrote for the TV show […]
I think Janet just wanted to buy a new house
I wanted to like this. I really, really, really did. But I couldn’t. Mom and Aunt both loved it, said it was laugh out loud funny, that Janet had finally come back after kind of veering off there with Stephanie and Ranger and Joe awhile ago. But I just didn’t love it. I don’t even think I really liked it. Sutton (who co-writes the Lizzy and Diesel series) and Evanovich’s new series – because it’s of course going to be a series – is about […]
Mediocre Mismatch
After the disastrous Rumor Has It, I thought I’d give Tami another go, and downloaded the audio version of Mismatch to distract me from the snowbirds and school busses clogging my roads. And while it was better than Rumor Has It, I’m not sure I’m going to download any more of her novels. Short version: Bronwynn Prescott Pierson (really?) escapes to the rundown estate that used to belong to her uncle to mourn the fact that she just became a runaway bride. Wade Grayson, a […]
