Jumping on the bandwagon here.

Can I just write that I agree with everyone else, and that this is the new Act Like It? Or do I need to say more? How about, if you like (or think you might like) Contemporary Romance, that picking this one up is a no-brainer? This book is witty, filled with delicious and snarky conversation, admirably romantic, and just the right amount of steamy. I mean, jeez. This book makes a night spent sitting on a couch and holding hands while watching ER and eating […]

This wasn’t my favorite entry in the series, but I still can’t wait to find out where its going.

Marked in Flesh is the fourth in a series of books, so really, if you haven’t read any of these yet, I can’t imagine that this would be a good place to start. This book is honestly just filler — the major plot points have already been laid out, most of the main characters have been introduced, its just marking time until some of the larger conflicts occur in future installments. Here’s the main thing about these books. I know that these Anne Bishop novels […]

Behind all the scarves and rings and cigarettes is a nice grandfather who just wants to tell a story to his grandkids.

First off, before you even read this, go ahead and put on your favorite Rolling Stones song. For ambiance. Seriously, even if they aren’t one of your favorite bands, there’s got to be at least one or two songs you might like. I’m going to go with this one: https://youtu.be/lQlmywY_qEM OK. So, lately I’ve been volunteering a lot (seriously, A LOT) in the library at my kids’ elementary school. I’ve gotten to know the librarian pretty well and just love helping her improve the library […]

The troubled love story of Rhubarb and Orange Slice is one that I’m glad I read.

I’m not ashamed to admit that I’ve read every single stinking Shopaholic book by Sophie Kinsella. I know that Becky’s ridiculous adventures aren’t great literature. But I find them somewhat comforting. I know Becky will make a horrible decision about something, wear fabulous clothes, do ridiculous things with her friends, make questionable parenting choices, and be rescued by her sensible husband who helps her to realize that her horrible decision was actually a great idea in the end. When I heard that Kinsella had recently […]

Maddy was a bubble girl, yet there was no mention of the Moops.

August 31, 2016 by scootsa1000 Leave a Comment

Madeline is 18 years old and lives in a bubble. Literally. She has an auto-immune disease and has spent her entire life in a germ-free environment. Her house has an air lock and a decontamination chamber. She takes classes via Skype and her only companions are her mother and her nurse, Carla. Olly moves in next door and immediately becomes an obsession for Maddy. He’s handsome and full of energy. He’s funny and wants to know more about her, and soon they find themselves chatting […]

I really don’t care where the sky is at this point.

August 25, 2016 by scootsa1000 Leave a Comment

I just came back from a long vacation in northern Washington. Lots of outdoor activities, which means no cell phone, no internet, no cable or tv at all. But lots of reading. And I read a few really good ones that I liked a lot. But I also read this one. And I hated it so much. Last year, I adored Jandy Nelson’s second book, I’ll Give You the Sun. I loved it so much, I went and downloaded her first book, The Sky is Everywhere, […]
