Wendy T I finished The Help by Kathryn Stocketttoday. What an amazing story this book was. I just loved it.

Robyn (bamamom) | 5 comments I just finished One for the Money by Janet Evanovich. My first time reading her books and I loved it can't wait to read the other Stephanie Plum ones.


message 4: by Beverlee (new)

Beverlee Just finished The Sparrow - trying to catch up on previous months since I was behind! Thought provoking!


message 5: by Wendy T (new)

Wendy T I finished Dune Road by Jane Green tonight. Another enjoyable chick-lit by Green.


message 6: by Trisha (new)

Trisha The Perfect Storm. Not typically my type of book but it was a great read! I can see why it was in the book!


message 7: by Susan (new)

Susan (superbookfreak) Crush by Alan Jacobson. I loved it. This book is the second in the series of the Karen Vail series. I feel that you should read The 7th Victim first and than Crush.

Gerwin Wallace (gerwinwallace) | 1 comments Blood Test by Jonathan Kellerman. Not a great book. I'm obsessive about finishing a book once I've started it, and I regret picking this one up!

ha! I'm glad to hear I'm not the only "obsessive" person ~ I just can't stop a book, no matter how bad, until I'm done with it!
Good luck pushing through! Typically I'm a fan of Jonathan Kellerman but looks like I'll skip that one :D

Jackie Lane (jaxlane) I finished Caught by Harlan Coben last night.

Marti (marjay) I just finished reading The Crimson Rooms by Katharine McMahon. I enjoyed the book and wanted to find out the truth behind the murder.


message 14: by Jackie (new)

Jackie (thenightowl) I finished The Tea Rose and I'm currently working on Empress Orchid.


message 15: by Amber (new)

Amber I just finished The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer , The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer. It was such a great read. I would have to give it 4 stars. This book is a modern day Jane Austen read, maybe that is because it is an English book. Something about the accent.... it is just fantastic!

Did you love The Tea Rose? The Winter Rose is just as inviting! I love those two books! I love the characters and how they overcome all the obstacles ahead of them, but there are always the nice twist and turns Jennifer adds.


message 17: by Jackie (new)

Jackie (thenightowl) I did love it. I gave it 4.5 stars. At some points it was a little too overdramatic for me, but really that was my only complaint. I love Jennifer's writing and really enjoyed the story. I can't wait to read Winter Rose. Have you read A Northern Light?


message 18: by Marti (new)

Marti (marjay) I enjoyed the book A Northern Light!

Right now I am about 1/2 through Winter Garden.

I did read Northern Light and really enjoyed that as well. The Winter Rose's character is wonderful and I like how she intertwines the plot with the Tea Rose.

message 22: by Robyn (new)

Robyn (bamamom) | 5 comments I just finished A Secret Love by Stephanie Laurens. Now I just need to decide between A Rogue's Proposal by Laurens or Two For The Dough by Evanovich.


message 23: by Marti (new)

Marti (marjay) I love both of your choices... Good Luck choosing one!!!

It just came in the mail today through Paperback swap today- you inspired me to start it this weekend!!

Marti (marjay) I too have read a few of her books and really enjoy them. I think that Kristin Hannah makes you feel like part of the story and writes in such a way that you feel like you are curled up with a cup of tea and an old friend.

I am reading House Rules by Jodi Piccoult. It is a WOW book already.
