The Life and Opinions of Maf the Dog, and of His Friend Marilyn Monroe by Andrew O'Hagan

1.0

I expected it to be more of a comedy. I slogged through it to the end.

The Eden Hunter by Skip Horack

3.0

Loved it. Very fascinating story of an escaped slave and his journey to find freedom in the deep south.

Doesn't She Look Natural by Angela Elwell Hunt

3.0

Pretty good. Liked it enough to check out the next two in the series, anyway! I like the main character so far.

Cinderella Ate My Daughter by Peggy Orenstein

4.0

Loved it! I could relate to so much in this book, having watched 3 of my girls so far all be enamored of the Princess craze.

The Winter Ghosts by Kate Mosse

2.0

Ok, took a bit to get into it. A somewhat romantic ghost story, but not really my cup of tea. I did like learning about the history.

Little Girl Blue: The Life of Karen Carpenter by Randy L. Schmidt

2.0

Very dry, not really that interesting unless you want to know when every.single.Carpenter.song was recorded. And where. And with what session musicians.

I hoped there would be more about Karen, but the author didn't really get into her and her issues until the last 1/4 of the book.

Tick Tock by James Patterson, Michael Ledwidge

2.0

So, so predictable. I like the Mike Bennett character, as well as the NYC locations, but the plot was thin and not very heart-stopping.

The Three Kings: A Christmas Dating Story by Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez

2.0

Predictable, but ok. Not her best.

She Always Wore Red by Angela Elwell Hunt

3.0

Nice follow-up to the first in the series.

Vision in White by Nora Roberts

3.0

I enjoyed this. Definitely chick lit but not terrible at all. Liked it enough to check out the other ones in the series. She's a little flowery, and it was predictable, but it was good.
