The Silver Star by Jeannette Walls


I had read The Glass Castle by her and it was very well written, so I decided to try another.  This was also well written.  It's about two sisters with an absent mother who travel to stay with their uncle where their mum grew up.  Eventually the mother comes back to get them, but a lot happens while they are in her hometown.

Blush by Lauren Jameson


If you are looking for an erotica book, I would not tell you to get this one.  Compared to the other ones I've read, this one is pretty low key.  Not a great story line either.  Have one more by this author I got at the same time, and then I will not be reading another.

Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell


This was a cutesy teen-aged book.  The end made me mad.  Most do.

If I Stay by Gayle Forman


Ok, so what happened here is this was recommended to me through my Chapters email alert and I put it on the long list of things I want to read.  Then I went to to movies to see TFiOS and the preview for this played, and I was hooked.  And then I remembered, hey, that is a book and it's on my list to read.  So, as always, had to read the book first.  I enjoyed it.  But this is a rare case where I feel the movie will be better than the book.

Where She Went by Gayle Forman


This is the sequel to If I Stay which kind of cut off right in the middle.  I'm glad there was a second book to pick up the story.  I wasn't very happy with the way things were going for the characters in this one.  But just when I thought it was going to do nothing but disappoint, it pulled together.

His to Possess by Opal Carew


In some ways this book is like the 50 shades series.  But in another way, it is very far from that.
Just another erotic novel / love story.
