Happy Holiday Book Blowout Contest

Little Bitty Lies by Mary Kay Andrews

"Little Bitty Lies is a comic Southern novel about all the important things in life: marriage and divorce, mothers and daughters, friendship and betrayal, small-town secrets, and one woman's lifelong quest for home -- and the perfect recipe for chicken salad." --marykayandrews.com

I had a lot of laughs with this book. It was so much fun when Mary Bliss's BFF Kate was around I love her character. I had been putting this book aside for a while and finally read it because it was about to get repoed from it's owner (LOL! Sorry Yvonne!!). After reading this book I can officially say I'm now a Mary Kay Andrews fan and will be borrowing all her books from my beautiful kind loving cousin Yvonne:)(yes I'm sucking up shush). As a reward I bought her Savannha Blues , which is her favorite book from Mary Kay Andrews that was lost by someone she let borrow the book. (clear throat, cough cough..her mother-in-law). So anyways, if your looking for a book that will make you laugh while taking you on an emotional ride this is the book for you.

The Dark Divine by Bree Despain

Ok, I finished this book in less then a day and I totally loved it. I don't know how I did it, but I did. In the past I have finished books in one day but the were about 250 pages or less but this is close to 400, didn't know I had it in me;) The mystery was suspenseful. The love story classic. I can't wait for the sequel I have to know what happens next. This is one book you have to pick up next time you are at the book store.

Fallen by Lauren Kate

Ahh so good! This book had me guessing about who was who and what was what the whole way through. It was an exhilarating ride! Great writing, vivid imagery that's what I love to see in books and I was not disappointed in this one. This is the second book I have read on fallen angels (Hush Hush the 1st) and I have really Fallen (sorry couldn't help it :) in love with the subject. The second installment Torment is scheduled to be released in September 2010 and I will be reserving my copy as soon as it becomes available.

Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater

I have read some good reviews on this book so I was really excited to get my hands on it. Sorry but I have to say I was just the teenies little bit disappointed. Over all I thought it was good and I will be reading the next book but I guess I was expecting more. I do have to say that the love story between Sam and Grace was absolutely great!!

Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl

I love the creepy south!! :). I have always been fascinated with magic and witchery since I was maybe 13 and I haven't read a good witchcraft book since the Harry Potter series. Though these two magical worlds are very different I think the BC series is going to be just as big and popular as the H.P. books and movies and I'm not the only one who thinks so. Warner Brothers has bought the rights for Beautiful Creatures (click on the link below for more details). From what I have gather this is the first book of possible six in the series and I can't wait for the next installment. Beautiful Creatures is a majestic world set in Gatlin, North Carolina filled with mystery, love, and self discovery. It's a fantastic journey that will leave you desperately wanting more.

Wake / Fade / Gone by Lisa McMann

This was the first non-fantasy book series I've read and it surpassed my expectation by a HUGE margin. I was not expecting it to be so good. The writing is different then what I'm used to but didn't take me long to settle into a rhythm. From the begging of Wake you can feel the emotional tension between Janie and Cabel..aaahhh how I love him. He's not perfect but neither is Janie. FADE raises the emotional level so much hire than WAKE I can't imagine what lies ahead for me in GONE (release date 2/2009). This series will leave you with your heart racing.
