Shutter lsland




So, back in the day, the stores would have book contests and every store had to choose a book to stand behind. We chose this one and we really wanted to win. So I had to read it! I couldn't just recommended it with enthusiasm without having read it.
It was good, but again, not my style. :(

This Lullaby



A teen book, this one. And Sarah Dessen is actually really great. Emilie and I talk about her all the time. :)

Me and Charlie



A young readers book. Seriously, how could I not read this book?! :) It was brilliant! :)

Tickled Pink




I read this one on Sherri's recommendation and I do remember laughing out loud, but I did take something else away from the book...it was a funeral scene and it was really moving. Everyone who attented the funeral had a story to tell about the deceased and it was just nice. Not uber sad, and not uber joyful either. Just right.

Stone Flower Garden




I remember this book well and it was alright, but I wouldn't read it now. I would choose something more up my alley.

Alice in Exile




Piers Paul Read. He is fantastic! Around this time is when I started to figure out what type of book I needed to read. Sure, there are still some books that make me cringe a little bit after this book, but more and more are winners. :) This one was a sure winner.

Roses Are Red




I swear, there are vampires in this book. Vampires?!
