  1. Heavenly by Jennifer Laurens Synopsis: I met someone who changed everything. Matthias. My autistic sister's guardian angel. Honest. Inspiring. Funny. Hot. And immortal. That was the problem. What could I do? I did what any other girl would do-I fell in love with him. Zoe's sister darts in front of cars. Her brother's a pothead. Her parents are so overwhelmed; they don't see Zoe lost in her broken life. Zoe escapes the only way she knows how: partying. Matthias, a guardian sent from Heaven, watches over Zoe's autistic sister. After Zoe is convinced he's legit, angel and lost girl come together in a love that changes destiny. But Heaven on Earth can't last forever. Courtesy of www.amazon.com Review: I

  4. I was moved to tears by this dance as well. I've been watching So You Think You Can Dance for the past four years and this piece was by far the best yet! Beautifully danced and Tyce Diorio is the most amazing choreographer. He'll definitely win an Emmy for it!
  5. I loved the Twilight series! Every time I see someone on here post that they are reading/re-reading the books I want to drop what I'm reading and start re-reading them as well. I keep telling myself I have a whole list of books to read and I must not re-read any of the Twilight books till I at list get through this years list, but I don't know how much longer I can hold out!

  10. Shin, I also love the Stephanie Plum series. Well, 1-10 anyway, after that it was all down hill. =(

  15. Synopsis: Fourteen-year-old Lily Owens lost her beloved mother when she was only four-under tragic circumstances clouded by time and secrecy. She later found a fiercely protective "stand-in," her abusive father's outspoken housekeeper, Rosaleen. Ignoring differences in age and color-and the fact that racial hatred seethed during the summer of 1964 in rural South Carolina-these two unlikely companions set off on a seemingly aimless pilgrimage that ends at the home of a trio of eccentric bee-keeping black sisters. Lily tells her remarkable tale of longing and love in an idiom and accent heard far south of the Mason-Dixon Line, but the lessons learned during her odyssey into the world of bees and their "secret life" are universal and everlasting. In her debut novel, Sue Monk Kidd proves herself adept both at storytelling and at creating characters who are simultaneously outlandish and credible-in other words, worthy to join the ranks of such first-rate Southern stylists as Kaye Gibbons, Anne Rivers Siddons, and Ellen Gilchrist.

    Hey All

  18. Kylie, I hope you enjoy the first two as much as I did. I have so many other books on my list to read, but I really think I might have to squeeze in a few books from the beginning of this series just to get my summer Plum fix.

  22. Finger Lickin' Fifteen by Janet Evanovich Synopsis: While recovering from an ill-timed makeup mishap, Lula is a witness to celebrity chef, Stanley Chipotle, losing his head - literally. Now Lula and Stephanie are on the hunt to identify the killers before Lula is next on the chopping block. Meantime, Ranger's recruited Stephanie's help for a top secret mission. Someone on the inside at Rangeman is leaking client information, determined to bring the company down. No one is above suspicion, not even Ranger's right hand man, Tank. Can Stephanie hunt down a killer, a traitor, five skips and keep Grandma out of the sauce? It's the sexiest, scariest, most fun Plum yet. So good you'll want seconds. Courtesy of www.overstock.com Review: Complete disappointment! I never thought I would give a Plum book a 2/5, but Evanovich has given me no choice. There were the now ubiquitous recycled story lines, unrecognizable characters, jokes that aren

  25. Fearless Fourteen by Janet Evanovich Synopsis: Personal vendettas, hidden treasure, and a monkey named Carl will send bounty hunter Stephanie Plum on her most explosive adventure yet. The Crime: Armed robbery to the tune of nine million dollars Dom Rizzi robbed a bank, stashed the money, and did the time. His family couldn’t be more proud. He always was the smart one. The Cousin: Joe Morelli Joe Morelli, Dom Rizzi, and Dom’s sister, Loretta, are cousins. Morelli is a cop, Rizzi robs banks, and Loretta is a single mother waiting tables at the firehouse. The all-American family. The Complications: Murder, kidnapping, destruction of personal property, and acid reflux Less than a week after Dom’s release from prison, Joe Morelli has shadowy figures breaking into his house and dying in his basement. He’s getting threatening messages, Loretta is kidnapped, and Dom is missing. The Catastrophe: Moonman Morelli hires Walter “Mooner” Dunphy, stoner and “inventor” turned crime fighter, to protect his house. Morelli can’t afford a lot on a cop’s salary, and Mooner will work for potatoes. The Cupcake: Stephanie Plum Stephanie and Morelli have a long-standing relationship that involves sex, affection, and driving each other nuts. She’s a bond enforcement agent with more luck than talent, and she’s involved in this bank-robbery-gone-bad disaster from day one. The Crisis: A favor for Ranger Security expert Carlos Manoso, street name Ranger, has a job for Stephanie that will involve night work. Morelli has his own ideas regarding Stephanie’s evening activities. The Conclusion: Only the fearless should read Fourteen. Thrills, chills, and incontinence may result. Courtesy of www.barnesandnoble.com Review: I originally read Fearless Fourteen last summer and was much happier with it then I was with Lean Mean Thirteen, but unfortunately that’s not saying much. Was it enjoyable? Yes. I just wish that the author would bring back some of the greatness this series had in the beginning. I use to love this series. I couldn’t wait for the summer to come to get my Plum fix. Now I just find myself reading it out of habit and wishing the magic would return. I’m sticking with my original rating of 4/5, but only because it was better then the previous book.
