The Hottest State: A Novel by Ethan Hawke
My review
rating: 2 of 5 stars
Interesting,
The only reason i picked this up was because Ethan Hawke wrote it…dduuhhh
Plus i have read one other of his books….Easy read, lots of graphic scenes and language
White Oleander: A Novel by Janet Fitch
My review
rating: 5 of 5 stars
Wow…If you have ever seen the movie and liked it….Go buy this book and read it…you’ll fall more in love with it.
As in most movies the book are 10 times better, this is no exception.
In the movie when you seen Astrid driving in the car, that’s all you see, in the book you have described in 3 pages how she was feeling while driving. Sublime
Fall on Your Knees by Ann-Marie MacDonald
My review
rating: 3 of 5 stars
Once again a library book sale find.
This on the other hand i choose cause it was an Oprah book club
I have read a couple of hers before and liked them.
This was a fascinating book, I thoroughly enjoyed it cover to cover.
Not at all your run of the mill afternoon read, quite a few doozies in there thats for sure. But non the less, Very good.
My review
rating: 2 of 5 stars
I found this book at a library book sale, when i look for books i first look at the date it was written, if before the 70’s i pick it up.
Was not a tough read, but kept me entertained, as in some books you can pretty much predict what will happen next, this one left me speechless.
My darling Clementine: The story of Lady Churchill by Jack Fishman
My review
rating: 5 of 5 stars
If there was ever any woman i would base my own life upon among them would be Mrs Lindberg and Mrs Churchill.
This woman was amazing, when i tend to become selfish and self centered i need to remember this woman, never caring about her own career and self, but that of her husband. But in turn it made her own career flourish. She probably had the most difficult husband to live with, yet she was the perfect woman for Him.
I would highly encourage anyone to read this.
It also brought my attention to alot of the facts regarding both Mr and Mrs churchill
