The Secret of Everything

The Secret of Everything - Barbara O'Neal A little too far fetched to believe.

The Lost Recipe for Happiness

The Lost Recipe for Happiness - Barbara O'Neal found at a church picnic. quick chick lit read with recipes. there were some plot issues that could have been more developed

The Reckoning: Darkest Powers: Book 03

The Reckoning - Kelley Armstrong I didn't realize this was the final installment. There were still a lot of unanswered plot lines and the ending felt rushed.

Bloodfever (Fever Series, Book 2)

Bloodfever - Karen Marie Moning i need to know what Jericho is.

The Personal History of Rachel DuPree

The Personal History of Rachel Dupree - Ann Weisgarber I couldn't finish it.

Everything I Need to Know I Learned from a Children's Book: Life Lessons from Notable People from All Walks of Life

Everything I Need to Know I Learned from a Children's Book - Anita Silvey fun and insightful to learn about the impact of reading and children's literature on children and adults.

Hunger Like No Other (Immortals After Dark, Book 1)

A Hunger Like No Other - Kresley Cole demeaning and pretty smutty

The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate

The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate - It was good with a strong female character. I was expecting a little more though. I can't really place what could have improved it, perhaps it's just a tired concept.

The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter

The Heart is a Lonely Hunter - Carson McCullers Really enjoyed this but was having a hard time with it. I really wanted something good to happen.

The Joy of Drinking

The Joy of Drinking - Barbara Holland interesting to see how drinking and the attitudes towards it have changed over the centuries.

Succubus on Top (Georgina Kincaid Series #2)

Succubus on Top - Richelle Mead entertaining.

Succubus Blues (Georgina Kincaid Series #1)

Succubus Blues - Richelle Mead Since I've enjoyed Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy books I thought I'd give her adult books a try. It was entertaining and a quick read. It was an interesting plot line and who doesn't love the word Succubus anyway? What was interesting about this one was that I read it on my ipod & macbook via the kindle software. I found my eyes didn't hurt if I read it on the ipod even though it's smaller. I also liked that I could see what other people highlighted. Certain passages were underlined and it if you hover over it would say how many other people highlighted that section. I wish I could click on it and it would lead me to an online discussion. Overall an interesting experience.

Spirit Bound (Vampire Academy)

Spirit Bound (Vampire Academy, Book 5) - Richelle Mead Great fun. I'm really excited about this plot line and a lot happened in this book! Such an awesome cliffhanger too.

Ice Haven

Ice Haven - Daniel Clowes the more i think about it, the more i like the way it was told. i'm not sure about the story though.

Mercury

Mercury - Hope Larson good but is missing some development. the mother's story would have been better flushed out and the characters seemed to be over the top when angry.

Will Grayson, Will Grayson

Will Grayson, Will Grayson - John Green A great book as always by Green and Levithan. I really enjoyed the characters and the change that they went through.
