FrugalBookShopper Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 Of the books above, most of them were decent. Although there were a couple that were time wasters. Sex and the City was NOT like the show and definitely something I didn't enjoy. I almost considered ending the book in the middle, but just couldn't. I thought it was dreadful. I loved In Her Shoes. Couldn't wait to read another chapter and loved the characters in the book. I hope to read more Jennifer Weiner books this year. Jemima J was decent, but nothing grand. Lots of filler that slowed the plot down. Bridget Jones' Diary was not one of my favorites. I didn't like the main character and just couldn't get into the story. Loved, loved, LOVED the Texas! Trilogy. Seriously, couldn't get enough. I read the back and had my hopes high and they were fulfilled. Same goes for the Bride Quartet series. Loved each book and they all left me with a warm, happy feeling inside. Something Borrowed was something I didn't like. Long, boring story with boring characters. A lot of thinking and pondering and not a lot of action by the main character. Was very glad to be done. Something Blue, however, was a little bit better (probably because the main character was hardly in the book). The Help was very good. Definitely a piece that should be read in High school about civil rights. Very well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
