NOW THIS BOOK I DID ENJOY READING

My Review on ~
Sleeping With Ward Cleaver by Jenny Gardiner
******************************************************
I saw this at the book store, I held off on getting it, I wanted to see the reviews on it, and see what other readers thought about this book. There wasn't that many reviews, so I decided to read it anyway. I am so glad that I did :-) It has me laughing the whole way through. You know how sometimes you need a book just to make you laugh feel good afterwards. This is the book that did for me. I am happy to say, I give this book 5 star plus.



Happy Reading Lisa

I'M SORRY TO SAY I DID NOT ENJOY THIS BOOK AT ALL

I'm a little late on my reviews for my February Read.

My Review on "White Woods by Maeve Binchy
*********************************************

I don't even know where to start. I have only read two books by Maeve Binchy one of them is called Tara Road, I didn't now enjoy it at all. Whitehorn Woods is the second book by her that I have read. When I first saw Whitehorn Woods it look like it was going to be a good read, I thought I would give this author another chance on reading one of her books. I did not enjoy this one. There was to many characters and I couldn't keep up with who's who. I just wanted this story it end which I never thought it would. I am sorry to say I give this book 1 1/2 stars.

I'M BACK

Hello,
I am back from the dead well that's I have been feeling. I was one of those people who caught this horrible flu virus. I had been sick for almost 2 months. I can't believe that I am sitting here and I can say that I am feeling so much better :-) I have this cough but it's not that bad anymore :-) I am almost back to 100 percent. While I wasn't feeling good I couldn't even read. So for January's read I only read three books.

1. Unmasked by Virginia Henley
2. Cry No More by Linda Howard
3. Secrets In The Attic by V. C. Andrews
*************************************************************************************************
Now for my February read:

4. Virgin River by Robyn Carr
5. Shelter Mountain by Robyn Carr
6. Whispering Rock by Robyn Carr
7.Whitehorn Woods by Maleve Binchy
8.Sleeping With Ward Cleaver by Jenny Gardiner

WOW I KEEP WANTING TO READ TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

My Review on "Secrets In The Attic" by V. C Andrews

Wow this is all I can say a very tense book, knowing wanting to know what is going to happen next. Do you think that you could be a best friend to someone who needs it. Someone who committed a crime, be there for them no matter. Zipporah and Karen have been best friend, there friendship goes on this wild ride. Karen has killed her step father, She is hiding in Karen's parents attic. They are trying to put pieces together on what really happen. I really enjoyed this book I give it 5 star plus.

A VERY GOOD READ

My Review on "Cry No More" by Linda Howard

I have only read a couple of books by Linda Howard and she has not disappointed yet. I was reading the reviews on this and most of them said you will need to have tissues handy. They were right, throughout out the book I kept hoping that she would find her son. I thought how can she not look what she has gone through. You just never know what waits a head good or bad, but at least there will be closure. I give this book 5 stars.

I FELT LIKE I WAS ON A ROLLER COASTER

My Review for "Unmasked" by Virginia Henley

I read this book back in Sept of 2005, I never did finish it. What I did remember from the book, I was enjoying it. I don't know what happen, why I never did finish it. I have always wanted to get back to it but other books on in the way. I finally had the chance to read it. When I first started reading it, I thought boy this is going to be good read, and it was up until the middle of the book. That's when the hate, love relationship started. I hate you, no I love you, I wanted to scream make up your mind!! I felt like I was on a roller coaster ride. By the end all I wanted to do was get off and never get back on. I never thought is would finish. I am kind of disappointed because it did look like a good read. I am giving this book a 31/2 stars.

IT'S RAINING IN CA!!

I was sitting here trying to read Cotillion by Georgette Heyer, the more I am reading the more I am not liking it. You know when a book starts of slow but then it gets better, well it did'n't happen with this book. I could not get into this book. It got good reviews, but I am not enjoying it!! So I said forget that, I will read "Highlander In Her Dreams" by Allie Mackay. The same thing happen here, I said oh not again :-( I gave it more of a chance I read 7 chapters by this time I am pulling out my hairs LOL :)

Now I am going to try and read "Cry No More" by Linda Howard, I hope this one is a winner. I read "Unmasked" by Virginia Henley when it first came out but I never did finish it. Not because It wasn't good, in fact I did enjoy what I did read :-) I thought it would be my TBR Challenge. Wish me Luck with these two books.




I'M IN LOVE DON'T TELL HUBBY!! LOL :-)



HAPPY READING :-)

Reading Weekend

With Christmas, New Year, my husband and son being off at work I get all confuess on what day it is LOL :-) My Son will be at my Dad's until Sunday and if they don't work on Monday then I will go get him then. Hubby is not feeling well, and I am still having problems with my left ear being plugged, and my allgeries are not helping, it's driving me crazy we made a doctors appointment at 2:50pm.

I am already starting the New Year off bad!! I haven't been able to read, with me not feeling that great with my allgies, and doing this and that. We have no plans this weekend. I have always wonder how some people can get two or three books going on at the same time, I can barley get on book much less two three is pushing it for me. I did it with my last three reads, so I am going to try and do it again. I know as I go along I am going to tell myself what did I get myself into LOL.


We are waiting for the rain to come. Tonight my Spanish Soaps are going to be on :-) Boy I am I lucky and thankful for DVR. I also watch my Spanish Soaps durning the day, I know what your thinking where do I find time to watch all thsoe and when do I find time to read, and keep up with my house work. I have been doing it for so long now that I am use to it. The ones that I DVR in the morning sometimes I will fast forward them.


Well I am off to watch my Spanish Soaps and get ready to go to the doctors.

NEWS YEARS DAY 2008

I hope everyone enjoyed there New Years, and enjoying spending time with there families and loved ones. This is the first year in a long time that I watched the Rose Parade the whole way through. I have always wanted to go to the Rose Parade, when I was younger I even wanted to help out. I bet the floats look really nice in person.

I enjoyed the seeing the Alhambra Float, I grew up there my dad still lives there. None of my Spanish Soaps were on how sad, at least I got some reading done. I have written reviews on the three books I read for Dec reads. I know three books, there were a lot more but I didn't keep track on them so I thought I would just start these 3. For 2007 my three favorite books, are "Kite Runner" "Water For Elephants" " The Pillars Of The Earth" three great books!!!

My Dec 2007 Reads

The Pillars Of The Earth ~

WOW, WOW!!! If it wasn't for Oprah picking this for her book club pick, I would have never read it on my own, it's not something I would read. I am so grateful for her book club pick. I enjoyed most of the characters, except for two William and Alfred, I would get so mad the way he would treat his sister Martha and his stepbrother Jack, at times I didn't know who was worse, I wanted to strangle them both. I did enjoy the other characters, reading this book made me feel like a part of the family I could feel when they were happy and when they were sad. When I had finish reading it, I had to take it all in with a smile on my face, I could not stop thinking about them. Out of 1 to 5 stars I give this book 5 stars plus.

"When A Lady Misbehaves by Michelle Marcos

A friend of mine had mention this book to me she said it looks like it will be a good read, so I thought I would try it out. She also wanted to read it, but didn't know what to think, on how the story would start off where it would lead to or how it would finish. When I was done reading it, I had to thank my friend for kind of talking me into reading this book, I was not disappointed. I enjoyed April Jardine's Character, she had me laughing on the things she would get herself into, No wonder the title is called When A Lady Misbehaves, it suits her just fine. I fell in love with Reily. A good read out of 1 to 5 stars I give this book 4 stars.

"Mirror Image"
I loved this book. It's about two twins, they are exactly the same and in other ways there are totally opposite. Oliva, is the family type with a husband, kids and a white picket fence. Victoria on the other hand is the risky type she loves Adventure, Danger she is a spare of the moment kind of Women. It has been a long time that I have cried over a book, until now. It was such a heart warming and sad story, but with all that they go through it was an enjoyable book. Out of 1 to 5 stars I give this book 5 start plus.
