The Time Traveler's Wife1675 reviews
Audrey Niffenegger
Harvest Books, 2004
Best Book I've read in a LONG time
+ Loved it!
I absolutely loved this book. I abandoned all of my responsibilities for two days so that I could read The Time Traveler's wife without stopping. I have now recommended it to everyone I know. It's a little confusing in the beginning, but a good confusing, because the author makes you want to ...

I may be young but let me tell you that this book was probably the best book I have ever read in my life. It is written SO well and I love the little pieces of information that show what leads up to Peter doing what he did. I cried and cried SO much when I read because this book is so emotional and ...

Julie Garwood
Ballantine Books, 2006
A great comeback from Slow Burn
+ Great Read
I am a huge fan of the Julie Garwood Buchanan series, and Shadow Dance did not disappoint! I have loved Noah Clayborne's character since he was introduced.(For those Julie Garwood fanatics like me he is a descendant of the Clayborne's in the historical books For the Roses and Come the Spring) ...

Forever and Always (Forever Trilogy)66 reviews
Jude Deveraux
Pocket, 2003
You get into the minds of two characters!
Normally I would not enjoy a book that is separated by two characters. Meaning that every other chapter is about Darci and the other ones about Linc. Usually this would be frustrating and confusing because my mind would cling to a particular character and would want to follow them. With "Forever ...

Lisa Jackson
Kensington, 2007
Must remember that it's FICTION
I enjoyed the story. Like every other book written by Lisa Jackson I think she goes into detail way too much, but I've learned where to skim through her words and where I need to pay attention. While I guessed part of what was going on, I definitely did not figure out the entire story of who the ...

Creepy couple

A demented married couple is going around the upper midwest in order to murder old people for their antiques. This twist on what constitutes the "usual" serial killer in mystery novels, made this book stand out, for more reasons than just the excellent writing.

David Baldacci
Warner Books, 2007
A bad war produces bad effects
There is a fascinating style in Baldacci's books. We are always dealing with state business and crime intertwined in the plot. In this case the CIA, the FBI and the DEA are concerned. They are shown as shady and even dangerous if not criminal from the very start. Then two intriguing levels are ...

His protagonist, Nick Conover, is a small town Michigan boy, a former local star athlete, who's fought his way to the chief executive ...
