Getting Rid of Bradley by Jennifer Crusie

Had the perfect amount of romance and action. Jennifer Crusie is becoming one of my favorites!

[Note: I plan to come back to this and write a better review as soon as I get more settled in with the blog]

The Next Thing on my List by Jill Smolinski

Wow, there are some mixed reviews about this one. I, myself, got this book from my sister who just raved about how wonderful it was. So I thought I would give it a try and I thought it was wonderful. Unlike some of the other reviews, I think you should waste your time on this one.

Jill Smolinski takes you into the lives of 34 year old June Parker, who is just going through life, but after a car accident where her passenger, Marissa, gets killed, she decided to finish Marissa's "20 things to do before my 25th birthday".

June meets interesting people along the way, including herself. This book will have you in tears as any chick-lit book would, but Jill doesn't keep you there. This book has some very amusing high points that will have you laughing.

Give this one a try, you might be surprised, you might even find yourself writing your own list!

A Man's Heart by Lori Copeland

A Man’s Heart is about the on again off again relationship of Jules and Cruz. Both of them are potato farmers, Jules however goes off to college to learn more about the trade. More then that, since her parents had a disastrous, she also uses college as a way to run from her relationship with Cruz, who wants to marry her. Since she jilts him twice, he tells her that its over and she goes off to college not returning for years later when her father dies.
This story was beautifully written, and the characters were lovely. The only thing I didn’t really like about it was the little plots in it that were addressed, like it would have been nice if Cruz had found out about the bull accident. Because the cover story just wasn’t believable in my opinion. But still excellent book!

Received through the LibraryThing Early Reviewer's program.

Waiting on the Moon

Waiting on the Moon by Kristin Hannah

This book was hard from me to put down from the first page. Without giving anything away, it starts out with a young woman who ends up losing her memories from a head injury. She is taken to an asylum, where Dr. Ian Carrick -a reclusive doctor- takes care of her.
The group, as the author refers to them, of inmates not knowing her name, dub her Selena. Selena has to relearn everything about life, her mind set is like that of a child. Like, for instance, fire bad.
While Selena is relearning everything she is bringing out the best of her fellow 'inmates', as well as their leader and caretaker, Ian. And instead of just living together, thanks to Selena's amazing kind pure soul, they learn to live as a family.
The book is heartbreaking and fantastic all wrapped in a nice package. You end up wanting to root for all the characters! A must read! Two thumbs up.
