Hooray, Lili!

Thank you guys... it was a short month and I'm on vacations so I had the time.
I've never finished the monthly challenges so soon... it'll give me time to work on the "a lifetime of books" one.

Hey!, have you noticed that good 80's books are not quite easy to find?... you'd think I'd feel old but I think of myself as a good wine, so when I'm 50 I'll be VERY good!
LOL

FINISHED 07/14/2010


J= One for the Money by Janet Evanovich 7/12 ****
J= Shoulda Been A Cowboy by Lorelei James (I am adding this one to make up for the J needing to be in the last name) 7/10 *****
U= Undead and Unwed by MaryJanice Davidson ***** 7/14
L= Branded As Trouble by Lorelei James 7/7 ***** Awesome!
Y= The Shack by William P. Young 7/3 *****

*****Amazing book. Highly recommend! This book truly changed my life and the way I view it. You can't go wrong with reading this one!

*****I really, really, really enjoyed this one. My heart broke for Colt as he battled his addictions and his family's perceptions. I loved how free India was, yet vulnerable and fallible, just like the rest of us. I have never faced addiction issues myself, yet I felt like I shared this roller coaster journey right along with them. Awesome read!

*****Loved this one, too. This family brings tears to my eyes and joy to my heart. They all have so much love and acceptance for another (even if they seem to forget it, sometimes). I loved how the book illustrated how quickly a surly kid can put a strain on a relationship and how love, honesty and patience can get you through anything. Oh yeah, not to mention some hot, hot, hot love scenes. {Sighs} I want a cowboy : )

***** I absolutely loved this book. I didn't want to stop reading. I love the interaction between the characters. They are too funny, interesting and addicting.

**** This book started out very slow for me. I really wasn't sure if I would like it at all, but I loved it in the end. I can't wait to start the next book.

Congratulations, Tina!

I'm done!!!
