PS I Love You, by Cecelia Ahern ***

Ps I Love You


I didn't like this book in the beginning, because it was so different from the movie. I kept at it, though, and it got better and better as it went on. It actually turned into a pretty good read, once I gave up on the idea of matching the story I was reading to the movie. (Note to self: read the book before you see the movie.)

Little Bee, by Chris Cleave ****

Little Bee

The publisher of this book is asking people not to tell others what happens in this story, so I won't say here. I'll just say that it's so good that the Zadge told her readers to drop what we're doing and to read it right away. I'm glad I did, because it was an excellent book.

A is for Alibi

I picked this one up because I've been craving a mystery for a while. It wasn't very deep but it wasn't bad. It's a quick, easy read... I don't feel compelled to run out and get the next book in this series immediately, but I probably will eventually.

Confessions of a Contractor, by Richard Murphy ****

Confessions Of A Contractor

This book was really funny. With my addiction to renovating and changing my house so much, the story may have hit home more for me than it did for others, but I thought it was a good book. (Even though I'd probably be one of his clients from hell.)

Kit's Law, by Donna Morressy ***

Kit's Law


This story is about a girl in small town Newfoundland whose grandmother dies and leaves her to care for her mentally challenged mother. It started slowly, but I thought it turned into a pretty good book.

Family Affair, by Caprice Crane ***

Family Affair: A Novel


This book was OK, but not great. It's a comedy about a couple who separate. The wife has a better relationship with her in laws than she does with her husband. She wants to keep them, but ditch the husband. Humorous, I guess but wasn't laugh out loud funny.

Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, by James Ford ****

Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet

While this was a good book overall (it's about the conflicts with the Japanese-Americans in the WWII, and how it impacted a Chinese boy and his family); I was disappointed in the ending. I thought it all wrapped up a little too neat and tidily. I enjoyed the book throughout because the storyline was plausible; but in my opinion, the ending was a bit too corny and convenient.
