11 - Ravens - George Dawes Green


What a great book! I've never read anything by George Dawes Green before but i'm eager to read something else after reading Ravens. It was suspenseful, strange and captivating. I could barely put it down last night because I just had to know what was going to happen next. A compelling story of good vs evil. I highly recommend this one!!

10 - Perfect Fifths - Megan McCafferty


It was nice to hear from someone other than Jessica for a change and to finally hear Marcus' words through his own mouth. Hard to believe that book took place in one day but seemed to flow pretty well considering.... I think I got a little tired of the Jessica Darling series but still it was a nice ending to a nice story. There were some loose ends however which make me wonder.... Is the book Megan McCafferty comments on in Twitter/Facebook another Jessica Darling/Marcus Flutie novel? Time will tell......

9. Fall - Colin McAdam


The entire time I was reading this book I just wanted it to end. I found it confusing and annoying. However as I got to the end I wanted it to keep going. Probably one of the strangest books I've ever read. Part love story, part mystery.... It's keeps you guessing until the very end. I can't say i'm eager to read anything else by Colin McAdam but this one did make me stop and think. Definitely a far cry from the chicklit I read in the beginning of the month!

8. The Amazing Adventures of Dietgirl - Shauna Reid


I really enjoyed this book. As someone who started Weight Watchers about a month ago it was heartwarming to know you're not alone in the struggle to lose weight. I commend her journey and feel Shauna Reid is an inspiration to all women trying to lose weight - whether it's 20 pounds or 120 pounds - it's a struggle. I loved how she learned to love herself despite the numbers on the scale. I highly recommend this book!

7. Shoe Addicts Anonymous - Beth Harbison



Ahhh another wonderful chicklit book. Mindless, heartwarming and funny! I recommend this one to someone looking for a quick read.

6. The Chosen One - Carol Lynch Williams




I really enjoyed this one...except for the ending. For me it just sort of ended with a lot of loose ends. I guess you have to use your imagination but I would have liked a chapter or two maybe written 5 years later to show me how she adapted to her new life, if she ever saw her family or Joshua. Other than that it was a good book.
