Lets Read a Good Book.......HIDDEN (Lost and Found Series # 1) By Fern Michaels

   

HIDDEN (Lost and Found Series # 1) By Fern Michaels
I have been a Fern Michaels fan for many years.  This book is a light, easy read with has very likeable characters.  It would be a great beach / vacation read or like I did just curled up on the couch.  I didn't want to put it down.  It did seem the author tried to impress with the dropping of brand names and the use of words not found in everyday conversation.   I would definitely read book # 2!!

Thanks to Kensington and NetGalley for the early read.

Let's Read a Good Book..... The Restoration of Celia Fairchild by Marie Bostwick

 

 The Restoration of Celia Fairchild  by Marie Bostwick  was one of the best books I have read in a while.
First,  I loved the characters from the very first page and would love to have a besty  like Celia and her bff Calvin.  Second, it was set in Charleston, which I love, and I enjoyed the memories of walking down Kings Street and eating at Poogan's Porch.  The characters feel like normal, every day people,  with lives full of ups and downs, the way they all come together and become friend and family will leave you feeling good with a big smile on your face and a happy heart.   This is a book you NEED to read!

 Thank you to #NetGalley  for allowing me to read and review this ARC.

Let's read a good book ..... The Forever Girl by Jill Shalvis

 

 

The Forever Girl( Wildstone #6) by Jill Shalvis

First, I have read every book in this series and loved them all.   Second, this book can stand alone and you do not have to have read the series to read this book.   Third,  for me this is not a beach read or a light read.   I do not find reading about abused or mistreated children, animal or the elderly light reading.   I had to lay this book down many times and come up for air because of the emotional content of what I was reading.  The writing will suck you in and have you living this book right along with the characters.   And no it was not explicit but the writing is such that you will feel their pain.  You will want to hug these  characters and tell them everything is going to be ok,  and you will wish you could have protected them as children.  About half way through  I was able to relax and enjoy the rest of the book and could not stop reading until it was finished.  Well done Jill Shalvis!!  Thank you NetGalley.   #theforevergirl   #Jillshalvis

Let's read a Good Book.......Royal, by Danielle Steel

 

 Royal, by Danielle Steel is a book that will grab your heart and not let it go.   I have  been reading  Danielle Steel since the 70’s and I always love them.   Danielle Steel  always gives you characters to love and some times to hate ( no haters in this book ) and she will give you scenarios that make you feel a part of them. 

This is a modern fairy tale of a girl who is raised  as a commoner   but discovers her connection to the Royal family and is actually a princess.    This book is set in England from WWII through the late 60’s early 70’s.  There are names dropped of many places that we all have hear about because of Princes Diana and the current Royals ( Windsor Castle,  Buckingham Palace, Balmoral Castle). 

The perfect escape  has once again been provided by Danielle Steel.

Thanks to Random House Publishing Group – Ballantine, Edelweiss and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book.

Let's Read a Good Book......"Holding Out for Christmas" by Janet Dailey

"Holding Out for Christmas" by Janet Dailey  is a book you can curl up and get lost in.
If you are a fan of Hallmark Christmas movies you will love this book and Hallmark should jump on it for the up coming season.  The characters are enjoyable but the book reads like it might be part of a series although it is not listed as such.  There is history behind the supporting characters that might also be interesting to explore.  This  is definitely a feel good book.
Thank you  Kensington Books  and  NetGalley  for a copy of this book.

Let's Read a Good Book...........NOT !

Wish list by Fern Michaels

First this is an old book brought back which would have been ok if they had updated it a little but they were lazy and left it with cigarettes and CB radios.

Second  this book reads  more like a junior high short story than a novel.    This is by far one of the worst books I have read and    it was one of the dumbest story lines I have ever read. 

If you can believe an actress buys a trucking company and then decides  to learn how to drive the big rigs plus all of Hollywood comes to pick fruit when she calls then you will love this book.  (  Lots of BIG names got dropped here which just made the book sound more far fetched. )  Along with the fact that all her ex husbands gave her lots of money and they all stayed best friends…..

 It had no depth, and I had no loving feelings about any of the characters and the story is so choppy it feels like it was sentences thrown in to the air and where ever they landed they were written in to the story.
