"Escape" by Carolyn Jessop

This was the personal story of Carolyn Jessop, who escaped
from the radical polygamist cult of the FLDS. She tells her story with
great honesty and detail. It was haunting to read that such evil can be
so widely followed by thousands of people in America. Her tale exposes
the FLDS for their hypocrisy, sexism, and overall incomprehensible way
of life. Reading this book will give a glimpse into the frighteningly
mad cult that Carolyn had to endure for most of her life before finding
a way to escape.

"The Beach House" by Jane Green

This was truly one of Jane Green's best novels. It was a
wonderful character study of several people whose lives were changed
someway by betrayal, miscommunication, and love. Expertly written with
accurate and realistic emotion, this story makes the reader ponder choices
and consequences. Furthermore, each character struggles and evolves
making this a great and satisfying read. Loved it!

"The Appeal" by John Grisham

Very fast read. Different from other books as it takes
place after the verdict. Thoroughly enjoyed although still disturbed by the
ending.

"Hop on Pop" by Dr. Seuss

I read this book to my two-year old son...and still found
myself enjoying it. In my opinion, one of Doctor Seuss's greatest
stories.

"Me and Mr. Darcy" by Alexandra Potter

This was a cute fantasy for any chick-lit and Jane Austen
fan! Emily, a lonely book store manager and hopeless Mr. Darcy romantic,
impulsively books a literary trip to Jane Austen's England. While
there, she meets many interesting characters. From the old ladies in her
tour group, to the arrogant reporter trying to understand the Darcy
obsession, Emily finds herself in a fantasy world where dreams possibly
come true. This is an enjoyable and fun read!

"Texas Princess" by Jodi Thomas

I stumbled across this author and now I'm hooked. This is
the 3rd book of hers that I've read and I want more. Her novels are a
combination of romance,action adventure and mystery all masterfully
blended by a gifted storyteller. Whether set in modern day or old west
Texas, her books grab you from page one. The "princess" in this novel who's
a senator's daughter trying to escape an ill-fated marriage. What
happens next is pure adventure.

"Sail" by James Patterson

Fast paced read. A typical Patterson novel until the
climax. There's a glitch in the story line. Maybe because he has a co-author
this time. But, even with that the book is well worth the time.
