Bloodsucking Fiends by Christopher Moore

This was one of the first Christopher Moore books I read a few years back. A few of my friends were raving over this author and well, I was skeptical. Looking back at my review of this one at first, I seemed less than impressed, but willing to try another book or two by the [...]

(Audiobook) The Spare Wife by Alex Witchel

97
I listened to this one on audiobook and had to go back several times because I found the storyline confusing in places. There’s a lot of people and a lot going on. The reader did a FABULOUS job, but it’s a very “busy” plot. I think this book is just okay. Not only is the [...]

(Audiobook) Marley and Me: Life and Love with the World’s Worst Dog by John Grogan

92
I’m not really a dog person. I have 2 chihuahua dogs but that’s mostly because my husband and son are allergic to cats. I love my dogs, but I don’t consider myself one of those crazy pet-people. I got this free on Audible a while back during a promotion they were doing, figuring I would [...]

(Book) Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer

7
The saga continues, as does my obsession. I think this is my favorite so far. I actually think my favorite character is Alice. I don’t know why, she kind of cracks me up. The ending made me a little crazy… so what happened next?!?! I will know soon enough, the next book is on the [...]

(Audio) My Sister’s Keeper by Jodi Picoult

88
My bookclub chose this one last month and since I read it back in 2005, I listened to it on audio this time. I’ve actually read this a few times now. It seems to be a book club staple. With good reason, the conversation it causes is always really amazing.
I’ll just put my journal entries [...]

(Audio) Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal by Christopher Moore

87
This was very well read. The narrator kept my attention. I did have to listen to it twice because the wit and humor does get a little lost in the biblical “stuff”. Speaking of biblical, if you are highly religious, you might find this a little offensive. But I think people are way too sensitive [...]

(Audiobook) The Pact by Jodi Picoult

86
This is probably my 2nd favorite Picoult. It’s well written and gripping. I read the book a while back, but grabbed the audio when I saw it on sale. The audio is fabulous, the narration is perfectly executed.
My previous thoughts from early last year:How well do you know your child? How many parents knew [...]

(Audiobook) Teacher Man by Frank McCourt

70
Well, I have now read his 3 memoirs and listened to them. I’m a little sad. I might have to read or listen to one again I absolutely adore Frank’s work. His stories, his voice, his self-depreciating humor. He is the master of the memoir, in my opinion. The best. Read all 3. [...]

(Audiobook) Skinny Bitch by Rory Freedman

I guess I should start out by saying that I don’t offend easily. I curse, I make lewd jokes, I’m pretty loose with stuff. I bought this audiobook because I had heard it was pretty good. I heard wrong.
I’m sorry, but after 15 minutes of having the authors rant about fat cows, call the reader [...]
