Do you remember that show on USA called White Collar with Matt Bomer where he was an art thief who worked with the FBI but still kind of ran scams on the side? That’s kind of the premise of Janet Evanovich’s Fox and O’Hare series, but instead of sexy Matt Bomer, we get sexy Nick Fox, and instead of semi-boring Peter we get Special Agent Kate O’Hare. And instead of catching art thieves and staying stateside, Evanovich and Goldberg (who wrote for the TV show […]
A stripper with a heart of gold (and a cape to match)…
I downloaded this as an audio book from the library. You know I need romance and light fluff when I’m driving or running, and Tami Hoag is on that list of authors where I know the story is going to be predictable but that’s okay, because I also need to pay attention to the road. But this Tami Hoag? It was…not good, you guys. Not good at all. I’ll give you a brief plot synopsis, and then give you my actual thoughts as I listened. […]
The title of this book has nothing to do with Elvis…or the actual book, either…
I downloaded this from the library, read it in about three hours, and pretty much promptly forgot about it. It was fine. Kind of like three buck Chuck. Not great, maybe you need an ice cube or two, and relatively forgettable. Kind of bland, like cream of chicken soup. (There’s a mash up that I don’t think I’d like, though: cream of chicken soup and three buck Chuck? Ew.) J.D. Carver is “a man with a past” who has come to Star Lake Lodge to […]
Ain’t no party like a sippy cup party…
Mele Bart thought that when she told her boyfriend Bobby that she was pregnant, he’d want to get married. It turns out that he did, but to someone else. Two years later, and the wedding is about to take place, and Bobby wants Ellie to be the flower girl. Mele doesn’t want Ellie to go without her, so she declares that she’s attending as well, and bringing a date. The only trouble is she doesn’t exactly have a date, so she makes one up, confident […]
No one in the South ever asks if you have crazy people in your family. They just ask what side they’re on.
When I was little, my mother had an avocado green Tupperware bowl. She also had a red one and a harvest gold one, and I’m pretty sure there was a blue one, too. They were different sizes, but they all had lids that had a translucent sort of flower pattern on top, so they were obviously part of a set. The bowl itself was also translucent, and more often than not, the green Tupperware bowl sat on the second shelf of our fridge with bunches […]
“Other people can’t make you feel stupid. Only you can.”
It’s no secret that I’m a sucker for good YA fiction. And Tell Me Three Things is good YA fiction. Actually, let me clarify that statement. Tell Me Three Things is good YA fiction if you’re the target demographic. If, like me, you’re slightly older than the target demographic and have celebrated many anniversaries of your twenty-ninth birthday, you may not feel the same, but my inner fifteen year old loved it. It’s the beginning of Jessie’s junior year of high school. Her mother died […]
