What I have been up too....

Ever since I graduated I have been really trying to have a little bit more of 'Me' time. Pretty hard with a nearly two year old but you gotta try. When I was in school I always wanted to read a book other then a chemistry book and that is exactly what I have gotten back too!!! And thanks to my father and Maryanne and the gift card for my B-day I have picked up some great novels. These are three books that I have really enjoyed (one I just finished a half hour ago).



"How to Score" by Robin Wells ****-

This book had a great plot and a great twist at the end. One thing you have to get over though is reading this book out in public with the cover saying how to score. At first I thought this book would be a little too "romantic" if you know what I mean, but it turned out to only have maybe one or two parts in it that were a little on the "romantic" side. ;)



This author has another novel, that I want to pick up soon, that I went looking for when browsing with my gift card. I could not find that book but it lead me to this next author....









"I'm in no mood for love" by Rachel Gibson ****/2-

I gave this book 3 and a half stars (see above :)). This book was a little more on the "romantic" side but not to bad again. The plot was good just thought some parts of the story could have been told better, even though author Gibson started the story right away to be exact on the eighth page. And tells all with the main characters fiancee being found with his gay lover in their walk in closet... Yes this is how the story starts so it does catch your attention right off the bat.

But... as I read some of the reviews of this book. Other readers that have read her previous work say that her others are WAY better. Luckily for me I started with this book!! hehe... I picked up the book listed at the top of this cover... Sex, Lies, and Online Dating which is getting GREAT reviews. Can't wait....









"Love me, Love me Knot" by Heidi Betts *****


WOW!!! I loved this book. (this is the one I finished a half hour ago) Although for those of you that don't want to read the really, and I mean really "romantic". This one is NOT for you. This book really surprised me a FEW times. I guess that is what I get for picking up a romantic novel and not knowing anything about the novel. With the title and the author knitting on the back cover I thought I would be good. NOPE haha...


But do not get me wrong!! I finished this book in three sittings.. It definitely didn't want me to put it down. Now that I have read more about the author I have found out this is the second book in her trilogy so that means I have to go pick up her first book, "Tangled up in love". But as for this book, I loved the plot it started out a little slow in the beginning and I didn't know if I would like it but trying to figure out what was going to happen after the main character decided to drug her ex-husband and impregnate herself, I couldn't put it down.


I think I will be on this romantic kick for a little bit... Sorry dad haha. But I am just enjoying reading something that I can get wrapped all in without having to think all that much about!! Or memorizing it! I have two more books on stand by also that I will probably start one of them tonight or tomorrow depending on how I feel so.. Stay tuned for the books below. ;)















P.S. I could stand writing such "book reports" for school and now I am doing that sort of thing for my entertainment!! haha

Love,

Karidan

Hey, Karidan. I know I'm late getting here & you may not even see this, but I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful, fabulous, delightful compliments about LOVES ME, LOVES ME KNOT. It's always nice to hear when a reader enjoys one of my books. I hope you really will try TANGLED UP IN LOVE...& KNOCK ME FOR A LOOP, which is coming out in February...& then lmk what you think of those. :-D

And if you're looking for some really good Rachel Gibson, try her early-early stuff: Simply Irresistible, It Must Be Love, Truly Madly Yours. :-)

Happy Thanksgiving & thanks again!
