I picked up this snappily titled free book fully expecting to hate-read it, but I found that I didn’t actually hate it. I even posted the blurb on fb and dared people to read it (all smug like). But no one took me up on my jerky offer so I had to do it myself. And you know what? It offered everything the title said: I got love, I got lattes, and I was introduced to a mutant (in the form of a dolphgirl–yup, half […]
Journal of Meh
Sarah Gladstone knew a bad storm was coming and so she goes to stay with her mother in the small town of Sunbury. The storm turned out to be worse than expected and the town is cut off from the outside world with floods, downed trees, no electricity or cell towers. This is key because during the clean up, they learn that someone has broken into the priest’s home, tossed the place and the priest is nowhere to be found. However, journals–tons of them are […]
I Hope People Don’t Describe Me Based on My Moles (PLEASE)
Rob and Anna are an English couple on vacation. On their first night, they meet an American couple who run boat charters to Roatan. Rob feels an instant connection to Owen and wants to take them up on their offer. Anna, however, is “always cautious and afraid of everything” as Rob describes CONSTANTLY to anyone who will listen. So of course, Anna has a few thoughts about spending 10 days on a boat with two people she barely knows. Geez Anna, what a buzz kill […]
Ahhh Buck This Book
Are you a fan of Carl Hiaasen? So am I. I am a total sucker for ridiculous characters with a ridiculous backdrop of Florida where wacky and zany things happen. But much like a Sour Patch Kid, I can’t handle too much Hiaasen at once. No, I have to read a book here or there, chuckle at it, forget it, and grab another one in the future. I mention this because Buck Fever has a couple things going for it (in theory). One, our author […]
Stories Can Save Us
The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien is a collection of short stories that revolve about a group of soldiers in the Vietnam War. The most interesting thing about the book to me is that Tim O’Brien is a Vietnam War veteran and he puts himself into the book as a character. He needs to tell his story, he needs to release the memories and yet, he doesn’t quite want to give a factual account of what happened to him and his friends there. So […]
I’m NOT Drinking That
So this is embarrassing. I can’t stop reading this book series. Every time Ann Charles puts one out, I’m like, “Ooooh! I like these books!” And so I buy them. But the truth is? I don’t think I actually like them…I just CAN’T stop reading them. It’s like that one time I ate an entire Blooming Onion by myself and I felt greasy, ashamed and most of all sick. I learned something that day at the Outback Steakhouse but apparently Ann Charles speaks to me […]
