This Will Not Look Good on My Resume by Jass Richards


Wow. This book was great. Brett Laramie has just about every job you can think of...and she's been fired from just as many.
The way this book is done, you really feel like you are there, or...at least a the bar hearing all the juicy details!
Wonderful read, funny, sarcastic. Loved it!

No Sneakers at the Office: A Practical Handbook for the Business World by Adam T. Scholl


Now this is a book you can actually use! I'm glad I got to read it, I was very satisfied, and have a few good tips for when I am looking for a new job.
I highly recommend it!

4/5

DEAD[ish] by Naomi Kramer


A very quick read, took me about an hour to get through it. Strong language. Linda is a ghost who wants to find her body so she hires Trent, a private investigator. Trent goes to her ex, who is the one who killed her, and humor ensues. I can’t think of a polite word to describe this book, but it is mildly humorous.

1/5

Ask Again Later by Jill A. Davis


This one was a very quick read, but I will admit that I had to push myself to do the reading. The characters didn't really do it for me. Not only was it confusing to keep them all straight, but they were introduced in such a way that they were very forgettable.

The idea of the book was a good try, and it had a bit of good humor, but all and all, I wouldn't read it again. Give it a try, though, and see what you think...

2/5

The Negotiator (O'Malley book one) by Dee Henderson


The O'Malley series is about a group of young adults who have formed a family, they aren't blood related. They grew up in an orphanage and looked out for each other, and then later changed their last names to O'Malley, giving each kid who everyone wants, a family.

The Negotiator is the first in the series, about Kate O'Malley. It's starts right off in a bank, Kate is called in and finds that there is a FBI agent as one of the hostages.
Eventually they strike up a friendship, but Dave (Mr. FBI) wants it to be more. Only Kate isn't a Christian.

This one is a really good read, I'd like to say it's my favorite of the O'Malley's series, but you fall in love with each character. And I can relate to each of them. I'd recommend you pick this one up. Two thumbs up.

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.
