Paris in Love
Paris in Love: A Memoir
by Eloisa James
I love Paris (3/3/2012)
I love Paris in Love. It is so beautifully written. The technique of using vignettes gathered from facebook and Twitter works brilliantly. I thought I'd have to read it again just to glean names of museums, bistros, and shopping experiences, but surprise! They are listed in …more

The Sisters: A Novel

The Sisters by Nancy Jensen (9/4/2011)

by Rosamund Lupton
Sister (5/17/2011)
If you have ever suffered the sudden, unexpected death of a young loved one, this book will have you reliving the horror of those days. It is nonetheless, a compelling read, a book you cannot put down. You will be asking yourself who and why again and again. I'm not sure …more
Outside Wonderland

Raising Wrecker
Raising Wrecker: A Novel
by Summer Wood
