I was just about to say the same thing i hope ur wedding goes wonderfully and i hope planning it is fun i have always wanted to be a wedding planner:)
Thanks!! Its a lot of fun, but it has definitely had its moments! Here's a few more i forgot to add...
7. You Suck - Christopher Moore
8. Breaking Dawn - Stephanie Meyer
9. The Reincarnationist - MJ Rose
I got married just about 2 years ago, and I totally understand!Welcome and if you want someone to vent to, I am more than happy to lend an ear!
Thanks Aprile!Just finished another one
10. Fablehaven - Brandon Mull
The Reincarnationist is sitting on my shelf waiting to be read. What did you think of it?
Honestly, I didn't particularly like The Reincarnationist. Not to give anything away here, but the idea of the plotline had some great potential, but the way the author executed it was just confusing. The author keeps switching back and forth from one past life to another and more than anything else it gets frustrating as you try to follow who is/was who. Plus, you think this is going to be a romance, but it really isnt. It borders on it, but never really comes through. And in the end, everything played out just a little too "conveniently" for me to be believable. I would probably rate it a 2 out of 5 stars.
I'm still going to give it a shot, but thanks for the input. :)
I think you should! It wasnt my cup of tea, but maybe you will like it more! Let me know your thoughts when you finish it.11. White Witch, Black Curse - Kim Harrison
Another update: 13. by George - Wesley Stace
This is a book about a family of ventriloquists, a boy named George, and a dummy named George. The story is alternately narrated by both Georges.
This was the monthly choice for the book club I am in. I really liked this book, particularly the sections from the point of view of the dummy. The author did a great job personifying "George" and letting the reader imagine what it would be like if the ventriloquist's dummy could actually speak on their own. I rate this book about 3.5/5 stars.
Also need to add: 14. A Peculiar Grace - Jeffery Lent
15. The Road - Cormac McCarthy
16. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams
