The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner, by Stephanie Meyer ***

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner: An Eclipse Novella

I'm kind of embarrassed to admit that I read this, but I figure I better keep this reading list real. It wasn't bad. If you liked the Twilight series, you'll probably like it; although it's a completely separate storyline from the first four books. It's not about the Cullens. It has some of the same elements (no romance or angst-y female), mostly different characters. It's a quick easy read.

Sh*t My Dad Says, by Justin Halpern *****

Sh T My Dad Says

Read this book. It's hilarious.
(As indicated by the title, there may be a few verbal impurities within.)

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 by, Sue Grafton ***

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.
