Tuck Everlasting

Okay.... biggest book disappoint of the year. I can't count or begin to remember how many people have told me how this is a children's classic that everyone needs to read multiple times in their life. It absolutely did nothing for me. It had a promising start but then it ended. Literally. It was like reading only a third of what seemed like a really good book and then never picking it up again.

Can You Keep a Secret?

I'm not the biggest fan of the Shopaholic Series (even though I can't wait to see the movie) so I was super surprised how obsessive I became in reading this book. I just think it is absolutely the cutest. I really loved everything about the plot, the characters, and how warm it made me feel. It was a great escape from real life. I hope they make this and The Undomestic Goddess into movies.

The Sunday Wife

Okay I fully realize I'm about to contradict myself, but I don't know how else to tell how I felt about this book. First, the reviews really hyped me up. I have to admit as an overall story, this book was very powerful, haunting in a way. I couldn't stop thinking about the overall picture, or meaning behind it. The power of love- obsessive love that is. I have sadly known people who went pretty crazy when with certain people, so I could almost see the power in that. The only part I had a problem with was the over-exaggerated view of the south. AKA the Bible Belt. It just seemed to be shown in a very negative way, which I couldn't get away from. Yea... I'm one of those that has trouble separating church and state.
