Customer Review: You have to read them all!

I am on this book out of the 4. They are all good. I can't wait to find out what happens in the next book. This book is cheaper to purchase here then in any store I have been to! I already have her newest book out for older readers. Once I am done with this series onto her next one!


Customer Review: Best in Series!

I gave a 1-star review on New Moon, but a 5-star review on Twilight and Breaking Dawn. I give a four star review on this novel also because it deserves it! I really enjoyed reading this book. Although it's not as deep as some other books I read, it's still an enjoyable book series. I wasn't a big fan of Bella in this book, because she came off as whiny and helpless. Jacob was great though, as always! All in all, it was enjoyable and I read it on a trip to the beach.

New Moon (The Twilight Saga, Book 2)

New Moon (The Twilight Saga, Book 2)

Legions of readers entranced by Twilight are hungry for more and they won't be disappointed.

In New Moon, Stephenie Meyer delivers another irresistible combination of romance and suspense with a supernatural twist.

The "star-crossed" lovers theme continues as Bella and Edward find themselves facing new obstacles, including a devastating separation, the mysterious appearance of dangerous wolves roaming the forest in Forks, a terrifying threat of revenge from a female vampire and a deliciously sinister encounter with Italy's reigning royal family of vampires, the Volturi.

Passionate, riveting, and full of surprising twists and turns, this vampire love saga is well on its way to literary immortality.


Customer Review: More Edward and would have been 5 stars

Before I say this, know that I have 4 kids and I am very busy. I have not been into books in quite some time, but I devoured the 4 books in one month.

This book is a necessary piece of the 4 book collection. It didn't go along with what I wanted to happen in the story line for a long while, but I found that it kept me on edge more than any other book in the series. I found myself crying and sometimes shaking with anticipation.

Only reason I gave it a 4 instead of 5 is because of course I wanted more Edward!

Great Fun!!

Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1)

Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1)

Isabella Swan's move to Forks, a small, perpetually rainy town in Washington, could have been the most boring move she ever made.

But once she meets the mysterious and alluring Edward Cullen, Isabella's life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. Up until now, Edward has managed to keep his vampire identity a secret in the small community he lives in, but now nobody is safe, especially Isabella, the person Edward holds most dear.

The lovers find themselves balanced precariously on the point of a knife-between desire and danger. Deeply romantic and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight captures the struggle between defying our instincts and satisfying our desires.

This is a love story with bite.


Customer Review: Twilight has ruined me


I really hadn't picked up a book in a while until everyone I knew began talking about Twilight a few weeks ago... I wasn't even aware that a movie had been released in November and once I remembered the star playing Edward - (Patrick) - being on a morning talk show and girls screaming their heads off... I wondered what it was about, but that wasn't what led me to pick up the book.



I picked it up because ... well, because I was taking a risk in adding anything new to my busy life and in other peoples opinion this was worth the time. I soon learned why girls were hysterical over this figure that represented basically the perfect man.



Edward is in many ways what every girl wants in a man... someone who is completely dedicated, hot, protective, trustworthy, makes others jealous (come on admit it), someone who isn't concerned with parental authority, has a nice car, can go anywhere at any time, has a mutual love so intense the world doesn't exist, strong, wonderful hair, GREAT SEX, and super powers to top it off. Yeah, loving Edward has ruined me.





Overall, if you don't look too deep - it is a very entertaining & entrancing series that leaves you feeling like you are missing something vital in your life - an Edward.

There is also Book II and III, will be posted later.

Mary Janice Davidson: Adventures of the Teen Furies

Adventures of the Teen Furies

Mary Janice Davidson

Customer Review: Wonderful and compelling YA offering by Ms. Davidson...


I have read and loved all of MaryJanice Davidson's novels and novellas and decided to give her Young Adult offering a whirl. This is a wonderful novel with a great deal of humor and some poignancy to boot. Andrea Grouper is a typical teenage girl going through growing pains while convincing her paranoid driving coach that she has been driving since she was eight years old and keeping her eye on her troubled friend Meredith.

When she convinces Meredith to join her in visiting her old friend Brenda, she does not know how she would interact with her. But it turns out that not only is Meredith adored by Brenda and a new crop of male friends, she also becomes part of a game in which they pretend to be superheroes and villains.

They also have some adventures with the male friends. Andrea accepts to become George's girlfriend while she drools for Kyle, the one Brenda has set her eyes on. Meredith hooks up with Terry, who is as eccentric as she is at times.

However, how will the group cope with Meredith's suicidal episodes and the extreme side effects from her medications? How will they cope with the knowledge that she'd had a nervous breakdown a few months before? Will Andrea be able to break free from George and tell Kyle how she feels about him? And are their imaginary characters a way to escape from their sometimes troubled realities?



This is one of the best Davidson stories I have read. She has a wonderful sense of humor, as all of her faithful readers are well aware, but she also adds some dark situations and poignant scenes in this offering.

Meredith saddened me at times. She goes through some rather painful things brought on by her depression. She has a wonderful friend in Andrea. Speaking of whom, Andrea is the signature Davidson heroine in that she is a smart mouth and is fiercely independent. She likes the idea of having a randy boyfriend who worships her even though she is not that into him. Those scenes made me laugh.

Terry is also hilarious. He is a hopeless flirt who is not afraid to voice his opinion on everything. Kyle is the quieter one of the bunch, but he also turns out to be as three-dimensional as the other characters. As said earlier, this is one of Davidson's best stories. This also happens to be one of her first writing efforts.

She started out writing Young Adult books and then branched out into writing romance and fantasy (or a combination of both genres). But she will release another YA book later this year. Adventures of the Teen Furies is a true testament of just how talented and versatile Ms. Davidson is. She is now one of the most popular romance/paranormal authors out there and for good reason. I recommend this YA novel most highly.

Julie Skerven: Fool's Gold

Fool's Gold

Julie Skerven


Customer Review: Fool's Gold is a good treasure!

Short & sweet: FOOL'S GOLD by Julie Skerven is a good romance with a bit of suspense thrown in. Typical of the Harlequin style romances, this one is based in a mythical town in western Wyoming.

The suspense is good, the romance tasty, and the setting of a modern day ranch on the verge of becoming a dude ranch is good. A nice read for in between!

Azadeh Moaveni: Honeymoon in Tehran

Honeymoon in Tehran: Two Years of Love and Danger in Iran

Both a love story and a reporter's first draft of history, Honeymoon in Tehran is a stirring, trenchant, and deeply personal chronicle of two years in the maelstrom of Iranian life.

In 2005, Azadeh Moaveni, longtime Middle East correspondent for Time magazine, returns to Iran to cover the rise of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

As she documents the firebrand leader's troublesome entry onto the world stage, Moaveni richly portrays a society too often caricatured as the heartland of militant Islam.

Living and working in Tehran, she finds a nation that openly yearns for freedom and contact with the West, but whose economic grievances and nationalist spirit find a temporary outlet in Ahmadinejad's strident pronouncements. Mingling with underground musicians, race car drivers, young radicals, and scholars, she explores the cultural identity crisis and class frustration that pits Iran's next generation against the Islamic system.

And then the unexpected happens: Azadeh falls in love with a young Iranian man and decides to get married and start a family in Tehran. Suddenly, she finds herself navigating an altogether different side of Iranian life. Preparing to be wed by a mullah, she sits in on a government marriage prep class where young couples are instructed to enjoy sex.

She visits Tehran's bridal bazaar and finds that the Iranian wedding has become an outrageously lavish-though often still gender-segregated-production. When she becomes pregnant, she must prepare to give birth in an Iranian hospital, at the same time observing her friends' struggles with their young children, who must learn to say one thing at home and another at school.

Despite her busy schedule as a wife and mother, Azadeh continues to report for Time on Iran's nuclear standoff with the West and Iranians - dissatisfaction with Ahmadinejad's heavy-handed rule. But as women are arrested on the street for "immodest dress" and the authorities unleash a campaign of intimidation against journalists, the country's dark side reemerges. This fundamentalist turn, along with the chilling presence of "Mr. X", the government agent assigned to mind her every step, forces Azadeh to make the hard decision that her family's future lies outside Iran.

Powerful and poignant, fascinating and humorous Honeymoon in Tehran is the harrowing story of a young woman's tenuous life in a country she thought she could change.

Verdict: feeding the fears and the anti-islamist agenda, the book keeps the balance just as much that you can't NOT recommend it... ;-) BTW - many of the troubles described will become everyday experience for "western" women (and men) as well - because Christlamists and Islamists are pretty much the same..
