The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown My rating: 4 of 5 stars Dan Brown is one of my favorite authors. I know there are several of my online and in-person (sounds so weird!) friends who disagree, but ultimately… you have to acknowledge the amount of time and dedication he putsContinue Reading
Smokin’ Seventeen by Janet Evanovich My rating: 4 of 5 stars Stephanie Plum certainly has a lot of people in her life who want to tell her what to do. I’m not sure I’d handle it as well as she does… and she doesn’t always handle it well. But that’sContinue Reading
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams My rating: 3 of 5 stars From what I can tell, I’m not in the majority when it comes to rating The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. I’m giving it a 3, which means I still liked it…Continue Reading
My rating: 3 of 5 stars to Charles Brokaw‘s novel, The Atlantis Code. I was flying to LA for a work trip, leaving from my office in NYC, and realized I forgot to bring a book before I left home. At the airport, I checked a few novels out at theContinue Reading
My rating: 3 of 5 stars to Jeffrey Eugenides‘s The Marriage Plot. My book club selected this a few years ago, given they had all previously read Middlesex and The Virgin Suicides before I joined. I’ve since moved and not with that book club anymore, but I keep in touch withContinue Reading
Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins My rating: 4 of 5 stars Every so often, I select a Young Adult book to read. After I read the Hunger Games, I had to finish the trilogy… I mean, how could you not, right? Let’s back up a bit… I love challenges. IContinue Reading
Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie My rating: 4 of 5 stars Before I get into the review… it took me forever to go through all the editions of Peter Pan listed on Goodreads. While I suppose it’s not too important to get the right version, I was shocked at howContinue Reading
My rating 3.5 out of 5 stars to E.J. Copperman‘s novel Edited Out: A Mysterious Detective Mystery, the second in Jeff Cohen’s (author’s real name) “Mysterious Detective Mystery” series of books. It was really a 3.4999999 and I had to unfortunately round down. Now that I’m reviewing more ARCs, I findContinue Reading
Explosive Eighteen by Janet Evanovich My rating: 3 of 5 stars After 18 books in this series, I can’t always give out a 4 just because I laugh so hard I nearly pee myself. Evanovich has to work harder and harder to keep the high mark stars… but in allContinue Reading
The Help by Kathryn Stockett My rating: 4 of 5 stars I read this book at least 4 years ago, before I began to more consistently use Goodreads… and now I’m going back to ensure I have some level of a review for everything I read. It’s only fair… ifContinue Reading
