I can't say that it was worth the time.

This book was okay. The lady at the library recommended it to me. And I had just told her to read Twilight, so in the spirit of mutual book recommendations, I thought I would give it a try.
It is about a family that is messed up like any other. The characters are all well developed. A former white mayor, his dead wife and ruined career. His estranged biological son and his beloved adopted black sons. A run in with their birth mother and their birth sister. It is all set in Boston so I found some of the references interesting because I used to live there.
It was interesting enough but with so many other books out there to read I don't think I can give it my whole heart recommendation.

Harry Potter- J.K. Rowling

I'm a little confused as to why this book has gotten no mention on any blogs thus far. A book of fantasy, it is written very well (all 7 of them) and keeps you excited and intrigued the whole time. Strongly recommended to anyone who has not read them, and anyone who has read them I'm sure will recommend them also.

Ok...so if you liked Twilight you might like this book by Elizabeth Kostova. It is a pretty interesting read full of history and scary vampires in a cool way.

If any of you read it let me know if you like it or not.

Thank you Candis for inviting me to be a part of your blog!

The Captain's Bride by Lisa Tawn Bergren

Lisa Tawn's book had the unfortunate experience of being read by me while I was waiting for Eclipse to show up at the library. When Eclipse did show up, I read both books at the same time, but Lisa Tawn's was read more out of obligation than deep interest. I have to give this book more credit than that, though. It was a good story with some good characters. However, I found the story to be somewhat predictable (i.e. I knew which characters were going to die, etc.). Still, I liked it enough to get the second book in the series (which I liked far less than the first), and I even got the third one this week (which is already better than the second). They definitely aren't page turners, but they're cool if you like seafaring action and strong female characters. A female sea-captain is a neat idea. --Kelly

Thorn in My Heart by Liz Curtis Higgs

This book is fabulous. It's one of three and all three are amazing. They take place in Scotland during the 1700's, and the twist is that they are a retelling of a Biblical story. It's so cool how Higgs weaves in the story but makes it unique as well. Speaking of bawling your eyes out, I did my share of that with this series. --Kelly

Need a good cry?

I hesitate to recommend this book. I bawled my eyes out all the way through. I started it on Friday night and finished it on Sunday afternoon. On Monday morning my eyes were still puffy. But, I wanted to put up something new since others have been too "shy" to put in a book Posting. Go ahead girls... -Candis

First of All...

I am just going to get us started with everyone's favorite. Plus, I am wondering if any of us want to get a quick fix by making comments about it. I miss Edward!!! - Candis
