It’s not often a book surprises me but this one did. When I heard the title, I anticipated main characters getting into trouble – lots and lots of it. I expected regret and angst and attempts to undo mistakes. I’ll say this – I didn’t get what I expected. I got better. Bria’s Wreckless is […]

Warning: adult content and some spoilers ahead I got to choose this month’s Book Hungry selection. I picked Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl. This rarely happens, but Karla, Abby, Blake, Kelly, and I all pretty much had the same impression of this book. We HATED the main characters and by hated, I mean wanted to snatch […]

When one of my Book Hungry members finished this debut novel by Sara J. Henry before I did, she assured me the story is not what I think it is. She was right. The story opens with main character Troy Chance leaping off a ferry to swim across a lake to save what she thinks […]

This month’s Book Hungry selection was JUST ONE DAY by Gayle Forman and there are some minor spoilers here. I bought my copy of JUST ONE DAY while at Laurie Crompton Boyle’s launch party for BLAZE – which you must also read, if you haven’t already. I’m a huge fan of Gayle’s work – my […]

At first glance, this sounds like your typical romance novel – hot not-so-rich girl manages to crack through the tough veneer of the hot, oh-so-rich guy. But a few pages in, you’ll find Jessica Lemmon’s debut novel, Tempting the Billioniare, isn’t typical at all. Hero Shane August is hot and rich, but he’s not the […]

1 In an ironic twist of fate, I bought this book while at the Huntington Book Revue waiting for my own book launch party to start. My son handed it to me and I started leafing through pages, giggling at some of the text… a great way to manage those public speaking nerves. 2 Written […]

June’s Bookhungry pick was PARADISE by Judith McNaught and let met just say, WOW. I hadn’t read any of Judith’s work and so, had no idea what to expect. This is NOT light reading. It’s intense — emotionally, and physically simply because the book is so long. Here’s the summary: Ruthless corporate raider Matthew Farrell […]

My Bookhungry book club formed over a year ago around The Hunger Games book – in fact, it was our first book review. So, what better tribute (ha ha, pun intended) than to review the movie? Warning! Spoilers ahead. We saw the movie during its opening weekend and discussed it. I took my son even […]
