Eleanor & Park

8:00 pm 29 April 2014

I could have handled a bit more resolution, but I did appreciate the love story and how gentle the relationship started between the characters. I would love to meet Eleanor and Park some day and see how things turned out. What were the three words...traditionally I think "I Love You" but with Eleanor it could be "crazy asian boy" or "I miss you".
What do you think?

Wedding Night: A Novel

I listened to this book during my commute. At first I was a bit Leary because of the not so stellar reviews, but I ended up enjoying it because it was almost like a bbc serial.

16 Things I Thought Were True

8:00 pm 1 April 2014

This was well done. I really liked the way that social media was handled and how the main character had to work through a sticky situation created by an embarrassing post. But that wasn't the only issue in the story. Parents, cancer, boyfriends, summer jobs, so many topics handled in a very REAL fashion. I also like the hopeful ending.

One Moment

8:00 pm 25 March 2014

Realistic fiction is not my main genre, but this book had enough to keep me going and want to get to the end. Death, amnesia, broken hearts, unrequited love... hopeful ending...yeah...it was good enough.

The Confident Mom

Maggie Stiefvater ROCKS!!
I love her story telling and the voice of Will Patton reading this is amazing! He really gets those Virginia accents spot on...makes me think of my grandfather... I am already into the next one and sad that I will have to wait for the 3rd and 4th of the series!!
