I’ve been a fan of Lincoln Child since I borrowed the book The Relic from one of my high school students my first year of teaching. I’ve since read through all the books in that series that he co-wrote with Douglas Preston, and I’ve moved on to the books each of them has authored on […]
I’ve seen A.J. Jacobs’ books around the store, The Year of Living Biblically and The Know-it All. They always sounded really funny, but I just never picked it up to read. The Guinea Pig Diaries is new enough that we had it in hard cover so that I could check it out. And it was […]
This was your basic romance book. I’d read another book by this author called He Loves Lucy. I enjoyed it, and this was okay, but almost too much your stereotypical romance. And one thing, it is like FOREVER before they actually have sex. It’s kind of a big tease, even in the chapter where they […]
This is a YA book, and I really enjoyed it. I’ve really gotten into the historical fiction lately, especially the YA stuff. This is set in 1943, during World War II. One of our main characters is Dewey Kerrigan. Her father is a scientist and they live in a town that doesn’t officially exist, Los […]
I’ve enjoyed another book by Michelle Cunnah called Call Waiting. Another bargain book find. Confessions of a Serial Dater was one I ordered in, but still a bargain book. She is one author on my list to check in the computer every so often for her books in bargain. Her other book 32AA I haven’t […]
I picked this up as a stripped copy at work a week or two ago. Recently, or ever since the movie The Other Boleyn Girl, I’ve began enjoying more historical fiction. This book is set in the time of Marie Antoinette and the French Revolution. It’s about a boy who is a gypsy and his […]
Can’t remember for sure if this was a Gateway nominee in year’s past, but for some reason I’ve wanted to read it. So when it was a strip copy at the store, I took it home. I had put it on my shelves at school for the kids to read, but decided to pick it […]
I’ve read at least one other book by Whitney Gaskell, Pushing 30, and I really enjoyed it. She is one of the authors that I look for her books to go on bargain. And this was another fun read. The main character is a teacher, so obviously something I have in common with her, which […]
I always pick up Bentley Little books at the store and the back cover reads like something I’d be very interested in. Then, half the time I pick them up and have trouble getting into them. They’re rarely what I expect them to be. This one took a looooooooong time to get to what the […]
Funny thing about this book, I had ordered an advanced readers copy of this book from a Shelf Awareness email, and set it aside with my other tons of “to-read” books. Forgetting about it, I saw the book sitting on a table in the break room at the bookstore and picked it up to read. […]
