"Before Anne After"

Before Anne AfterBefore Anne After by James R. Paddock

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


LOVED this book!! I read it free on my Kindle Fire through Amazon Prime's Lending Library and it ROCKED! This is a science fiction book about time travel. It is soooo much more, though. I loved the character of Anne Waring. She could seriously be my hero. What a strong woman! The book grabs ahold of you and is impossible to put down. Seriously- it is worth more than most full-price books out there. The fact that I read it for free is just a bonus. AND- as if that's not enough, I found out today that the author who wrote this in 2003 (don't quote me there... I am pretty sure that's the year...) JUST wrote a sequel in 2011!! It is one that I am super excited to read. So glad I happened upon this great book!

Promise Me

Promise MePromise Me by Richard Paul Evans

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Loved this RPE book!! I usually love his books, so this may not come as a surprise. I thought it was a venture away from what he usually writes. He was very careful in this writing. He pulled off a supernatural genre while staying true to who he is. Lovely job!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Great true story of a woman who changed modern medicine for just about everybody who is living today. I thoroughly enjoyed the way this book was written. Easy to read and a page-turner. What a winner in my book!

The Book of Tomorrow

The Book of TomorrowThe Book of Tomorrow by Cecelia Ahern

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Really cute story by an author who is moving up my list. She has done books that have turned into movies, and is simply very girly and wonderful! This particular book held my interest as I wanted to know how the protagonist would end up (and who she would end up with!!) Great read for a light-hearted girly book.
