Lucy Sullivan Is Getting Married by Marian Keyes

Three out of Five Stars 610 pages within about a week and a half. I struggled with the first half of the book to grab my attention. Towards to last half of the middle, I found the story line to be intriguing. Then, lost interest in the book, yet again. I enjoy a good story line, however, don't drag out a book well over the amount of words and pages needed to keep the audience's attention.

Twilight (Twilight #1) by Stephenie Meyer

Five out of Five Stars. Yes, I rated yet another book with a total of 5 STARS! I think I may have lost my mind. I don't care for romantic books, let along fantasy books. But here I go and read one that is mixed with both, romance and fantasy. I was eaten a live. LOL. As soon as I open the first page, I just could not put this book down. I was tempted this week to call off of work just to read this book. The author did such an amazing job of grabbing the read, and making the reader feel like they were in the story. With the love story that is embedded in this story, never made me feel like oh boy get for real. Instead, I found it so comforting. Love, with someone that you shouldn't because they are so wrong for you, in which it made it so right. The concept of true and amazing love. I am excited and scared to read the next book; New Moon. I may not sleep until I am done reading it. LOL

The Daughters (Daughters #1) by Joanna Philbin

Four out of Five Stars My oldest daughter is getting into the reading world of fun! During the end of the school year she picked out the book "The Daughters". She wasn't able to finish the book before the school year finished. So at our public library, she requested the book. And within a day she finished up the book. So, it had me curious, what is my daughter enjoy reading that she read it so quickly? I to, open up the book and just couldn't put it down. It wasn't a book of suspense, but the writer did such a marvelously job of grabbing the reader's attention and holding on to it until the end. And the best part about this book is that I could use the saying as "see her mother loved her and was always right". Love it! So looking forward in reading the next book!

Watermelon (Walsh Family #1) by Marian Keyes

Three out of Five Stars I enjoyed Marian Keyes book, Rachel's Holiday so much I end up going to the library to check out more of her books. Watermelon, was one of three of the books that I checked out. I am sorry to say, but I was disappointed in the writing. The writing of the book was done in first person and you not only read the life of main character, but you also read what the main character mind was thinking. The main character seemed as if she suffered many mental disorders, which made it some times difficult to follow. The Plot of the story was, however, of a great story line. Hence, why I did give the book three stars.
