Between the Lines (Between the Lines #1)
I started this book yesterday evening, and it was a welcome, yet slightly fluffy respite from the more serious books I’ve recently finished. Actually, even though it didn’t send me in an over-the-top frenzy, I enjoyed it enough to read it straight through. Would I recommend it? Sure! Absolutely. But just know that it’s YA, so…… no “Christian Grey” comparisons here. Nothing too deep, too dark, or too emotional. It’s probably not going to set you *squeeing* but you still might get some heart fluttering.

Book News!! Fifty Shades Freed by E.L. James Cover Reveal!!
Here it is!! The cover and synopsis for book #3 (the final installment) in the “Fifty Shades” trilogy by E.L. James. This is the series of the year for me! The first two books had me in absolute turmoil. I was a nervous wreck, and yet loving every moment of this unconventional story. I’m anxiously awaiting January 19th 2012 so I can read this one, too.
My mom just started book #1 yesterday (Fifty Shades of Grey) and is already loving it. She said she was already so into it, and knew she would be after reading how excited we all were. Although, I had to giggle, when she asked me… what a certain *acronym* stood for. 😉
Book Review – A Discovery of Witches by Deborah E. Harkness
A Discovery of Witches: A Novel
This book has me confounded in regards to my stance on the whole thing. Did I like it? Love it? Sometimes both. The book is extremely descriptive. Every smell, sight and memory comes alive with consistent colorful and rich detail. But sometimes (okay, I admit… a lot) it bored me. I’d start fidgeting, and my attention would wane, and I’d be anxious to get back to the stuff that settles me into that awesome slow motion reading I love to do. You know, when the book is so good, it’s almost as if you start reading in slow motion, absorbing every detail, living every moment,heart pounding (in love or in fear). That’s when I know I’m into a book.
Jamie McGuire’s Beautiful Disaster NEWS!! New Book Cover and Print Version!
This new Beautiful Disaster book cover is absolutely GORGEOUS! To me, it symbolizes Travis and Abby’s love story, perfectly. The beautiful butterfly, caught in a jar. But think about… exactly who is the butterfly in the jar? You’d almost think it would be Abby, but I say it’s Travis. Or both of them, each in their own way. Which is why this book blew me away.
Author Jamie McGuire says:
Beautiful Disaster’s paperback edition will be available for purchase in just a few days! You will definitely notice something new about it. This news may be a relief to some, and disheartening to others. We all know BD’s cover has been nothing less than controversial. I loved it, and I know many of you did, too. But for those that just couldn’t bring themselves to buy it based on that eye-catching tongue…I present to you…Beautiful Disaster’s brand new cover, courtesy of Justin McClure.tv. I hope you love it as much as I do!
