Second Hand Charm

This is a darling children's story. It is a fairy tale, but a new one. It is very original and refreshing. There are princesses, sea serpents, dangerous events, while still keeping it child friendly. I liked that this author did not just take a spin off of an old fairy tale. The story is completely new, and easy to read. I hear that this book is not as good as her first book (which I just got.) So read this one first then you will like it. I would say 6 and up would enjoy this story.

Size 12 isn't fat

Well this is what I would call a comical mystery. It was OK! There are defiantly some funny parts in it, but I think that the author is a little crass. The plot is pretty basic. The main character used to be famous, but now is working in a dorm at a college to save money for school. When she helps to solve a murder that happens at the dorm. And she like to eat (which is the funny part). But the author gets a little overboard with being size 12 in my opinion. There is a sequel "Size 14 isn't fat either". I actually only read half and then when it was the same plot and nothing really new I moved on. So not a must read, there are better books out there.

The curious case of the dog in the nighttime

This book is very interesting to anyone that has any interest in Autism. This is a fictional story but the main character is Autistic, and he is the one telling the story. He thinks so "out of the box", it is so interesting. It really gives you a different view of autism. I liked it for that fact alone. The story however is not my favorite, a little dull, kind of weird, but still interesting. This book does have some language issues in it. Not appropriate for young adult reading.

The lost Symbol

I am a fan of Dan Brown, so I was sure to read his new release. It was interesting. It has lots of information in it about the Nations capital. I want to go back to DC now just to take his tour. So much of our Nations Capital is symbolic. It also has a lot of information on the Free Masons. His research is fascinating. Now on the other side it has a ton of killing in it. Sometimes I wonder if he sits around thinking of the most terrifying way to die. The mystery is ok, a little to much slaughter for me, but the history is really well done.

Moon Called

I love this Author. After I read Twilight I was in the mood for Vampires. As you will see from my entire section called "Vampires". This series helped to satisfy that. Not only do you have the vampires, but it takes a turn and focuses on the werwolves. The main character is perfect. She is a strong female that isn't to wishy washy. This book is also the beginning of the series which will have 6 books (I think.) But the good thing about this series is that each book will stand alone as a story. It is not a kids novel but it is pretty clean for an adult fiction. I really liked it!

The Gargoyle

Well another book I did not finish for content issues. I got about 20 pages in and it turns out he is a pornstar. No thanks! The sad thing is if he would have changed the background to you know a farmer or something it would have been an amazing book. The author was very talented. I am just not into porn-star books.

The Passage

Well to start off my blog I am post a book I did not finish. I heard this was a great story. I couldn't tell you because in the first 150 page I encountered 20+ F-words, rape, murder, child abuse, spouse abuse, child neglect,and so on and so forth. So I quit. Sorry if you loved this story. I truly wish I could have got to the main story because it sounded really good. :(
