"Northern Light" by Nora Roberts review

Northern Lights

by Nora Roberts

The colorful, compelling novel about two lonely souls who find love-and redemption-in Lunacy, Alaska.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

This is one of my favorite Nora Roberts book, it one of those that keeps you on your toes from the very start of the book, Nora Roberts had way of pulling her readers into her stories like you are right their as it's going on. As I was reading this book I felt like I was right their living it out as I read it every twist and turn of the story. Love sceans all I can say is wow she's the master of them she knows how to right them and everyone woman wants to have someone do that to her!!! I did happen to see that Life Time movie to this I was not super thrilled about it I was hopping the main chart they would have chosen someone other then Leann Rymes as I felt that she didn't bring the main charts out that well, but that just my option I did how like the movie and watch it few times when ever it comes on the TV. I would recommend this to any Nora fan or someone wanting to try one of her book, great for anytime reading and book club as well.  

"The Help" By Kathryn Stockett Book Review

The Help

By Kathryn Stockett

Three ordinary women are about to take one extraordinary step.
Twenty-two-year-old Skeeter has just returned home after graduating from Ole Miss. She may have a degree, but it is 1962, Mississippi, and her mother will not be happy till Skeeter has a ring on her finger. Skeeter would normally find solace with her beloved maid Constantine, the woman who raised her, but Constantine has disappeared and no one will tell Skeeter where she has gone.
Aibileen is a black maid, a wise, regal woman raising her seventeenth white child. Something has shifted inside her after the loss of her own son, who died while his bosses looked the other way. She is devoted to the little girl she looks after, though she knows both their hearts may be broken.
Minny, Aibileen's best friend, is short, fat, and perhaps the sassiest woman in Mississippi. She can cook like nobody's business, but she can't mind her tongue, so she's lost yet another job. Minny finally finds a position working for someone too new to town to know her reputation. But her new boss has secrets of her own.
Seemingly as different from one another as can be, these women will nonetheless come together for a clandestine project that will put them all at risk. And why? Because they are suffocating within the lines that define their town and their times. And sometimes lines are made to be crossed.
In pitch-perfect voices, Kathryn Stockett creates three extraordinary women whose determination to start a movement of their own forever changes a town, and the way women - mothers, daughters, caregivers, friends - view one another. A deeply moving novel filled with poignancy, humor, and hope, The Help is a timeless and universal story about the lines we abide by, and the ones we don't

All I can say is this is must read book!! I absurdly loved loved it! I original bought this book on my Nook from the first chapter I was hooked on it, I found it breath of fresh air some people have said it's not right how they talk about the old south and how things were, well I will say we need to talk about our past to learn from it and not repeat it! I know that this book is fiction however their are real facts and  truths in this book as well, I love how each chart got to tell there side of the story, this book had funny moments as well as sad one just like everyday life which I loved about i, .I don't want to give the ending away but I due hope that another books soon follows this one. I was amazed at how well were were taken back in time I give major thumps up at how well it was written. This is one of my favorite books I think everyone shoujld have copy of this book.

When in Rome By Gemma Townley review

When in Rome...: A Novel of Piazzas and Passion

by Gemma Townley

 When in Rome, do as Audrey Hepburn would do. Failing that, run off with your ex-boyfriend, carry suspicious packages through customs, and lie to the person who loves you. . . .Georgie Beauchamp is totally happy and in love with her wonderful, dependable boyfriend, David. So why does she always daydream about running into her gorgeous ex-boyfriend Mike? It can’t mean she’s still in love with him—especially since the cad dumped her so horribly. As luck would have it, when Georgie’s daydream actually comes true, she is dressed in unglamorous sweats and carrying a curtain rod down the street, while Mike is driving an expensive sports car and looking better than Brad Pitt at the Oscars. She longs to have the glamorous life Mike can offer—and starts to think that he might want her back in his arms.

But when he invites her for a weekend in Rome, Georgie is torn. David has always said he’d take her there for the romantic getaway of a lifetime, but his work keeps him totally tied up. So she must choose: David, all comfort and reliability, or Mike, all flirtation and butterfly-stomachs. The decision isn’t too hard to make, and faster than she can say Vespa, she’s off to Rome with Mike, full of plans to frolic on the Spanish Steps and sip wine in intimate trattorias. But when David shows up unexpectedly, this roman holiday gets a hell of a lot more complicated. .

I must say that I was really let down with this book I thought that it would have been better. I read this book in two days and was board with due to the fact I could see after the first few chapters how this book was going to go, however I kept reading in hopes that I was wrong sadly I was not. I say that the book did have it's funny parts to it,this dose make good road trip book and rainy day book to read as it will pass your time. I would say either barrow the book off friends of library or even get viva e reader. It's not one of my favorites but I will give the writer another chance and read some of her other work.
