Three sides to the story!

The Other Side of the Story - Marian Keyes
I just love Marian Keyes. As with all authors I like (and there are plenty), I've read all of her books. This one isn't my new favorite, but it's a great book. I highly recommend this one.

There are two sides to every friendship

Best Enemies - Jane Heller
With friends like this, who needs enemies? But all's well that ends well. And some more trite sayings. Cute book, but a little cliche in parts.

Past Due

So, since I've been back I've been doing more reading than posting. I have a fairly long list of books I've finished. I guess I better get them on here, huh?

Under the Boardwalk - Carly Phillips
Cute as always, good summer read.

The Shop on Blossom Street - Debbie Macomber
The writing in this books seemed kind of, I don't know, stilted? It was a great story, great characters; but, the telling of it was just off.

Olivia Joules and the Overactive Imagination - Helen Fielding
Helen has turned out another one that is destined to make a great film. This book was hilarious. I can't wait to see if they make it into a movie.

To Have and To Hold - Jane Green
I haven't been too impressed with Jane's books lately; but, she redeemed herself with this one. Very well written, funny, poignant.

My Sister's Keeper - Jodi Picoult
Once again, Jodi has taken a tough subject and make it real for us readers. This is a heartrending book. As usual, she put one of those "Oh no she DI'INT" moments in it, that I could have done without, but it's a fantastic novel.

Queer Eye for the Straight Guy: The Fab 5's Guide to Looking Better, Cooking Better, Dressing Better, Behaving Better and Living Better
These guys are so funny, and they really know there stuff. If you have a straight guy in your life, go buy him this book.

Sweet & Crazy - Patty Dann
Exactly what this book is.

Fat Chance - Deborah Blumenthal
I've been trying to get my hands on this book for ages. It was well worth the wait.

The Ocean Between Us - Susan Wiggs
A must-read. Susan Wiggs is always a sure thing.

Dumping Billy - Olivia Goldsmith
Hilarious, as usual. I cannot believe Olivia is gone and we will only have one more of her books. It's tragic.

Monday Mourning - Kathy Reichs
Kathy Reichs is another sure thing. I've read all of her novels and they are the ones that you can't put down until they are through.

Back from Quasi-vacation

I went back home to Graham for about a week, so I didn't have access to the internet. I only took a couple of library books with me as I didn't want to have many to keep up with and/or lose. I read a bushel of Harlequin and Silhouette romance novels. They aren't bad for occupying the mind for an hour, that's about how long it takes me to read one. I won't even attempt to list any of them. So, here are the "real" books I read this last week.

Men in Kilts - Katie MacAlister
Cute enough, I didn't hurl it across the room in disgust at least.

The Song Reader - Lisa Tucker
Not at ALL what I expected it to be, but VERY good reading.

Good Grief - Lolly Winston
I wasn't thinking I would like this book when I first started it, but after I got a chapter or so in and I was snickering aloud, I was hooked until the finish. Superb read.

Goodbye Earl - Jo-Ann Mapson

Goodbye Earl is the latest installment in the Bad Girl Creek novels. This is another series that if you haven't read it, do so. They are fantastic. All of her books are. Hank & Chloe was the first one I read, and I've been hooked since. I think she just gets better with time.
