Book-et List

Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn

Intrigued by a review that speaks of a “pure but nasty addiction”, I am eager to learn more about Camille’s story.  A girl with a background that leads her to cutting and a stay in a psych hospital is forced into revisiting her past as she works on an assignment for the paper she works for. Will this be a cure or just form new scares?


Outlander (Serie)s by Diana Gabaldon

Always being into a tale full of romance, Outlander may just be the best of all worlds for a girl who also loves fantasy and historical fiction. Being pulled back in time Claire Randall is "torn between fidelity and desire" and two men in two different lives. I am bracing myself for tough decision and a romance like no other.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

I have been told forever that Pride and Prejudice is a "must read" and reading the first pages I have already related to controlling and not so understanding parents. A story of five sisters searching for what they want in love, but all reaching their own opsticals as they try. Love isn't something to take lightly; I am ready to take on each girls road to finding their TRUE love.

Girl With the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson

Hearing all the rage about this book I thought it was time to enter the world of murder and love. Harriet Vanger's determined Uncle has hired a trapped journalist and "punk prodigy to find his niece who has been missing for forty years now. The mystery behind the missing girl and the hired "investigators" makes me wonder where this book will take me.

The Keeper of Lost Causes by Jussi Adler-Olsen

I seem to find that I have a new thing for mystery. Keeping up with detective Carl Morck as his new promotion leads him to a case of a "presumed dead" politician sounds exciting. I am sure that this book will keep me on edge and awake for hours past what is healthy.

Heaven is for Real by Todd Burpo and Lynn Vincent

A heart wrenching true story of a four year old boy that enters heaven, during a surgery to save his life. This book has been on my list to read ever since someone mentioned it to me. I am curious to hear the young boy's stories of his encounters in his short trip to heaven and back.

Because You are Mine (Series) by Beth Kery

The first thing I noticed was the title and new at once that Because You Are Mine would be full of love and romance. The random attraction of two complete strangers, Ian Noble and Francesca Arno, told from the first glance. I can't wait to finally get a good "love at first sight" story.

Water for Elephants by Sare Gruen

An unlikely add on to a circus group Jacob Jankowski is thrown into a position to take care of the "circus menagerie", where he meets Marlena and her husband August and the un-trainable elephant, Rosie. Reading I hope to learn of Jacob's encounters and his new life of travel on the circus train.

Thirteen Reasons Why by Jane Asher

I found this book around the time it came out with a friend and we both wanted to read it, but could only afford one copy to share. I want to finally take my chance to follow Clay Jenson's adventure around town to find out Hannah Baker's Thirteen Reasons Why she decided to take her life.

Bones Are Forever by Kathy Reichs

Reading the first pages of Bones Are Forever, I was pulled in by the mystory behind the writting. A story following the investigation of what seems to be a spine shivering murder of three infints, "crackling sexual tension and whip-smart dialogue" between a trio of investigators. I am excited to see how the background of the three workers plays out as well as what they unwrape in thier search for answers.
