Pirate Latitudes by Michael Crichton

Pirate Latitudes by Michael Crichton

This book was a gift. This story is a favorite of mine and I've bought other copies for my friends. I fully recommend this book. I went through a period where I hadn't read a book for months and this book brought me back to one of my favorite places. That place where only a good book and a cup of tea can take you. I fell in love with the story and the characters. It helps when you've been to the Caribbean and seas interest you. I also am a fan of pirates. It's a fun must read. Mr. Chrichton describes his characters flawlessly. 17th-century fiction (  )

Sharp objects : a novel by Gillian Flynn

Sharp objects: a novel by Gillian Flynn

Not my normal read. I read Gone Girl first and had to have another taste and see if the author could "wow" me twice. This book did just that! The twisted ending fit and I had to read who did it twice. Raw, disturbed and calculated is the bottom line. An awesome book. The characters are as screwed up as the title suggests. Crime and betrayal are just a couple words to describe this story! (  )

When I first read the cover I was a little worried. This book was recommended from a friend. This book had me until the end. I won't add a spoiler. It's a favorite of mine and I have lent my copy out several times. In fact, I have just recently borrowed it out again. This book has a small town setting and Rebekkah Barrow has the destiny to fulfill and romance follows. Full of family secrets. Caring for the dead has a new meaning. :) I was easily taken in by the story and the characters. Wish it hadn't ended. (  )

His PhD is in Hypocrisy: And Other Poems about My Crappy Ex-Boyfriend

I received a copy of this through a giveaway by the author on Http://librarything.com in return for my honest review of the book.

This book is a collection of poems that are in sequence with the heartbreak the writer was going through. My favorite is on page 41. I can relate and anyone who's ever gone through that build up ( cloud nine) the beginning of a relationship and the fall when you realize it's finality. Even though it hasn't ended your gut already knows it will. I felt like I read the author's diary. I think many will enjoy this and will be able to share in the butterflies of a new love and the grief when it dies. I love poetry and this was my first journal of poems.
