One More Thing: Stories and Other Stories by B.J. Novak 3/5
A book of short stories by that writer/actor from The Office.  Some of the stories are very, very short.  Overall, they are creative and have an element of surprise.  I really enjoyed reading this.

Whispers and Lies - Joy FieldingTerry senses something isn't quite right when Allison moves into her spare cottage, but loneliness and boredom cause her to befriend the free-spirited young woman anyway. This is a suspense novel, but it kind of dragged for awhile. I was frustrated about some things, but by the end most of it gets wrapped up pretty ( Read more... )

Royal Wedding by Meg Cabot 3/5
I finally got around to reading the last Princess Diaries book! (It is the last, right?) It was cute and I liked it. Not as funny as the earlier books, but maybe that's because Mia is 25 now. No longer a teenager. The books are so much better than the movies. I love Julie Andrews and all, but Book-Grandmére is a much ( Read more... )

This is basically a typical Mary Kay Andrews book with a bit of mystery thrown in. With each book I keep thinking I'm not going to read another of hers, because they have such ( Read more... )
