Bridget Jones's Diary: A Novel
by Helen Fielding

Funny! (7/4/2005)

I laughed so much at this book, and it was a quick read too. It's a nice summer read for women. I could really relate to Bridget even though I am only 21. She is a real woman and a quick-witted one at that! Don't rent the movie; read the book!

Middlesex
by Jeffrey Eugenides

Unexpectingly Good (7/4/2005)

I had to read this book for a class, and I was very surprised that it turned out to be one of my favorite books of the semester. It's about a hermaphrodite, but it's about so much more. I would highly recommend it, even to people who are turned off by the subject.

by Nora Roberts

(8/12/2003)

I liked this book so much! In true Nora Roberts fashion, it had me hooked on a great, mysterious plot and routing for Lena and Declan to officially become a couple! This book is much more than just romance, though some of the love scenes are a bit steamy. . . it has a real …more

I really liked this book- it was a cute story and very easy to read. It only took me a day to read it. I think it would have been better if I hadn't seen the movie first because I knew what was going to happen at the end. Also, I think maybe the ending is a little …more

Blessings
by Anna Quindlen

(6/14/2003)

This book! This book started me reading full time again! It did start out a little slow, and I ended up putting it down for three weeks before picking it up again and really getting into it. To those of you discouraged by slow beginnings, I say- give this book a real chance. …more

Jewel
by Bret Lott

(6/14/2003)

"Jewel" is a story of compassion and love- between a mother and her special daughter, between her and her other children, and between her and her husband. This novel is very well-written and a definite page turner. Once you pick it up, you wont be able to put it down. The …more
