Pretty Little Mistakes by Heather McElhatton


 
I was so looking forward to this book.... but was greatly disappointed. It's set up like those pick your own adventure books we all loved as kids... but for adults! My journey took barely anymore than 10 minutes and I thought I had made the right choices when it came to going to college and not being a part of vandalizing... which let to rape, etc. So not a fan. Bummed out over this one for sure.

The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles by Julie Edwards


Just another read aloud book for my third graders. Great read for make believe creatures. And just a side note... it's written by the lady who played Mary Poppins!

Naked in Death by J.D. Robb



One of my coworkers had suggest reading her favorite series for quite some time now, I finally listened, and I'm glad I did. It went right along with some of my favorite type of books that involve solving murders and crimes. At first I was a bit confused, but as I was reading a realized that these books are actually set in the future. It isn't too far off though, which is good thing since I'm not a fan of a book gone too sci-fi. The main character of this series is Eve Dallas who is a New York police lieutenant. Of course along the way she finds a hunky love interest, even though she is extremely closed off the the idea of romance due to her childhood. The love interest, Roarke, also just happens to be a suspect in the murder investigation involving prostitutes. This was a quick read and I can appreciate that there isn't a whole lot of fluff, unlike the other series by Patricia Cornwell I finally gave up on.
