Some of my favorites

Today I thought I would blog about some books that I recently read and I enjoyed and also some of my all time favorite books. There are so many to chose from so I will probably just have to do this often.  My books are my friends and I love them. :-)

 Cross my Heart is a book I read this year by Julie Wright. I really have enjoyed reading her books.  My Not-So-Fairy Tale Life is another book that tops my favorite list.  But, anyway, back to this book.  There were some parts in this book that really made me laugh and I love that when I am reading!  Basically, it is a young adult book about Jillian who gets caught up in a love-triangle that is truly hilarious! Very fun book that I recommend to everyone!
 This is a book that I read for Book club last year.  It took me a little bit to get into it and I admit that when I started it, I was lost and confused because it just starts right in and you are in the middle of the story and nothing is explained to you.  But, I persevered and by 30 pages in, I was hooked and I couldn't put it down! It is witty, thought-provoking and a lot of fun.  It is set in the World War II time period and written as a series of letters. I guarantee you that you will enjoy this one! After I read the whole thing, I had to go back and read the first pages again and then I could fully enjoy it!
 Okay I first read this book years ago (can't remember exactly when) but I so enjoy it, that I can't help pick it up and reread it.  It is an old friend that I just enjoy.  This is a book about Jillanne Caldwell who is a reporter that gets caught up in finding one of her primary kids that has gone missing that also happens to be a Senator's son.  A fun mystery, I love to read it also for the fun beauty tips she has spread throughout the book.
 This is a book I checked out from the library that I just finished yesterday.  He actually has written at least two other Shandra Covington books that I haven't read yet.  I do that sometimes, that is read a book in a series out of order but this is stand alone story that you don't have to read the others to know what is going on in this one.  But, there are references made to other incidents in the other books that would be helpful to know.  So I am going to read the other books and then probably reread this one! A fun thriller mystery that had you going to the exciting end! I really enjoyed it!



 Princess of the Midnight Ball:
 I reviewed the second book in this series a few blogs ago, Princess of Glass.  This is the first book, Princess of the Midnight Ball and it is based on the story of the 12 Dancing Princesses.  I loved the characters and I loved the story.

Murder by Design:
This is the second in a series...I read the first one a few weeks ago called Murder by the Book.  About a librarian in the small town of Midway. It also is a Young Adult mystery. I enjoyed the characters and the story.

So there you have it. Hope you enjoy my recommendations. Happy Reading!

Kari, I have at least one maybe both of the Shandra Covington series if you want to borrow them. I haven't read the one you just finished but it's on my list to read. I also enjoyed a few of others too. Books are good friends.
