The favorite book of the year so far goes to this one! What a rollercoster that was but I didn't want to get off,I want to know the next years! I love this book, I know I say I love alot of books but this one I think has taken a massive imprint and stamped it across me. It was real,it wasn't just happy happy lovey dovey fall in love no problems. They made mistakes that is what happens in life and although these mistakes and these things that happened made me scream (and I mean scream,and cry and possibly tantrum a little) it felt it wasn't just a fantasy. Her writing kept me hooked,I kept waiting to know what was going to happen next and I still do. I feel a book hangover coming on I am just not done,even if there are no more pages!

I'm not a huge fan of chick-lit at all. I prefer something a little more exciting than just following a woman around in her daily life.
 
That's not to say I didn't like this, because it was okay.
 
I have this thing where covers attract me to books and come on! It's a really fun, funky cover. But as I mentioned above chick-lit is not one of my favourite genre's. In fact, this was a DNF after 111 pages out of 400 and odd, though I did skim through the pages and what I thought would happen, didn't.
 
I still liked Gracie and I'm sure that if I could have brought myself to pick it back up and continue that I may have liked it. But from the 100 or so pages I read it was okay.

I have started a series of what I call "mini-reviews" for lesser known horror films, eight here on Smashbomb. If you took the "Dennis Milleresque" qualities out of the legendary Joe Bob Briggs, you'd have a basic idea of my style when I author a review in full.

A romance novella collection I read for Joanne Fluke's entry. I enjoyed it and two of the stories, but I found Fern Michaels's story to be laughable weak.

A very average thriller that is quite slow at times. Lacking a lot of action and suspense. It's starting to look quite dated now and I think I got it mixed up with Presumed innocent, also starring Harrison Ford, which is a much better thriller as I recall.

Ive listened to a couple of episodes, and I really enjoyed them. Each episode features a different Loot topic, and its interesting to get more information on the themes. I wasn't able to find it on Google play, so I had to use a different app.

I haven't got any recently. I usually just get it whenever I really like that months theme.

I used to watch the Paddington Bear animation as a child so I have a soft spot for him and his marmalade sandwiches. Although this is a children's film I thoroughly enjoyed it. It follows the usual formula of good guys vs villain but is sweetly and funnily done.
  
I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

I think kids will get a kick out of this charming, welll-illustrated book. I have my doubts as to whether these animals are "gross" but it's still a fun read.

These was a nifty mystery involving magic!
I really liked the characters of Temerity and Tilda who try to figure out a school teacher was poisoned.

I really enjoyed this mystery!
