July Reading Review

Considering I had to put aside several book selections due to a lagging interest, I was surprised to see I managed to get quite a few books finished.

Abby Cooper: Psychic Eye by Victoria Laurie

My Rating: 9 *'s
I really liked the story and thought the characters were very interesting and entertaining. I never read anything by this author before so I will be looking for more of her books.

You Suck by Christopher Moore

My Rating: 10 *'s

Brilliant & Funny! With the exception of only a few of his books, I find Christopher Moore's writing fresh, exciting and very entertaining. I'm hoping there will be another installment as I did not get closure on Tommy and Jody and the ancient vampire, Elijah. I thought Abby Normal nearly stole the whole story so I would like to see what happens to her.If you haven't read this author before, you are missing out on some very well spent time.

Love @ First Site by Jane Moore

My Rating: 10 *'s

I absolutely loved this book! What a wonderful story! I thought Jess was a very likeable character. She is someone that I could imagine being a good friend or a sister. Jess's friends were a riot as well. I enjoyed the side story involving Jess's sister, Olivia.A couple of interesting plot twists took me by surprise towards the end that I really enjoyed. I'm so glad this book grabbed my attention as I don't know how long I would have gone before picking it up. Highly recommended!

Natural Born Charmer by Susan Elizabeth Phillips

My Rating: 9 *'s

Once again, Susan Elizabeth Phillips delivers a story that touched me on so many levels. This book made me laugh and cry. I loved the characters that each brought their own diversity and personalities to the story. I loved the message this story gave me that no matter how far you travel, you can always make your way back home to the people who love you and no matter how far you distance yourself from love, it will find you.Looking forward to the next book!

The Hostile Hospital by Lemony Snicket

My Rating: 9 *'s

Getting better and better...just when you think all is lost for these quick thinking children, they manage to extricate themselves from the clutches of Count Olaf. This story leaves a huge cliffhanger, though, so I must get the next one right away so I can find out what happens next.

Bras & Broomsticks by Sarah Mlynowski

My Rating: 9 *'s

Very cute story. I enjoyed watching the mess Rachel gets herself into, though her intentions start out good. I'm eager to get my hands on the rest of this series to see how she ends up.

Murder On Astor Place by Victoria Thompson

My Rating: 5 *'s

Very predictable story. Surprised me how quickly I figured out the ending. I will be looking for more in this series.
