Review: Snowed Over

Snowed Over by Angie Stanton

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



I read this in one sitting. Was going to read a little then go to bed, read the whole thing. fun, charming, realistic, scary and gripping at times even. I had been keeping it till Christmas eve to read, but it kept calling to me from my Kindle and I ate it up. Like a wonderful Christmas cookie of a story. romantic and fun. I hope to see more of our two main characters in the future sometime. Ms Stanton is another of the writers I have found this year whose books I just consume with satisfaction, but am always left hungry for another treat. She is on my "Must Buy" list.

Review: Relatively Famous

Relatively Famous by Jessica Park

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



I love Jessica Park. Her books are quirky, fun, realistic and filled with people you'd like to know. While this, her first book, is not as outstanding at Flat Out Love (But then seriously, few are) it is still a great fun read. This book was like a box of Godiva Chocolates when you are depressed and hungry, you just cannot leave it alone till it is done!

Review: The Outpost: An Untold Story of American Valor

The Outpost: An Untold Story of American Valor by Jake Tapper

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



This is one of the most important books I have read n years. EVERYBODY in the USA needs to read this book and see what is being done in our name. The waste of the sacrifice and heroism of our front line troops becasue they are put in ridiculous untenable situations. the absurdity of trying to force pur political system and values on people who find them abhorrent. There is so much going on in this book you need to know. Yet it is written with a gripping and fast paced narrative that makes it an easy read, other than the fact you will get so angry sometimes you have to put it down and walk away.

If you honor our troops, you owe it to them and their families to read this book and see what is being done to them in our name.

Review: The Boy Who Sneaks in my Bedroom Window

The Boy Who Sneaks in my Bedroom Window by Kirsty Moseley

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



A phenomenal book. Full of angst, pain, love, pain, redemption. I have no idea what you would want in a book that is not here. Tender, erotic, humor, a little of everything. There are so many things I want to say, but that will give away good things. I so feel for "Angel" the main female protagonist. I just wanted to give her a hug. Read this book, you will not be sorry.

Review: My Beautiful Failure

My Beautiful Failure by Janet Ruth Young

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



I liked this book, but not as much as I expected too. I'd read some rave reviews so I had high expectations. I guess my main markdown comes from the fact I thought the protagonist was a gigantic douche. The story itself was well written, and the theme was different and important. I do recommend it, but I guess I didn't experience the transcendent emotions some others have said they did. I did not feel so much for the protagonist because I thought him such a douche.
