The Four Seasons of Marriage by Gary

Top 100 Free Amazon, 2 stars. Nothing you do not already know through common sense, though some people need to read/see/hear it for it to truly to sink in. I have read a few marriage/relationship books and it was just all the same, different author. Not that it is bad advice, it is good advice, it just did not stand out from the crowd for me.

314 (Widowsfield Trilogy,#1) by A.R. Wise

Top 100 Amazon Free, 3 Stars. I really liked this book for the most part. It was creepy and kept you on the edge of the seat while the action was happening but it got a little too confusing with the jumping around. Reading the Author's description it makes sense what he was trying to do but in practice I got lost, especially since so much was going on at any one point of time.

I told my coworkers about it though since it did have that creep factor that just hooked you right in!

Didn’t like this book. It had promise and potential. Maybe a more established author with a stronger voice could take this book to a better level. A woman is verbally and mentally abused by her husband and stays in her marriage until it drives her to a suicide attempt. That just lost me as being interested right there… She discovers in recovery that being away from her husband is in fact what she needs to be happy about life. Woohoo… Now though, she is “missing” since she ran away from the psych ward that her husband wouldn’t release her from because he was enjoying the access to her money and a life without her. Yeah…

This was just bad… I hate not finishing books I start but this one just was not doing it for me. To get through chunks of it I would read just the first sentence of the paragraphs and even that felt like a waste of time for most the book. I hate giving bad reviews but really, I would not recommend this to anyone. It had one interesting point, the murder of one girl and the attempt on the main girl’s character. If the book was more about that plot line I think it would have been much better and worth the read.

I unfortunately did not really care for character development around the main character so it was hard to get through most of this book. The kid is an intern in DC and fumbles his way into a conspiracy that leads to the murder of one of the DC representatives. The murder of course is pinned on him and he stays on the run in order to clear his name and not be murdered as well.

This book has a really interesting premise. A guy can only stay awake for an hour each day. During this one hour he witnesses bizarre things that lead him to believe a murder took place across the street that The President is involved in. He has to use his one hour every day to solve the crime. I gave the story a three just because it was so unique but overall… really…an hour each day to solve a crime and he is dead to the world otherwise. It is a little too unbelievable.

GoodReads First Read winner and a 5 star rating! Ah this book makes you relive your own high school moments and forays into the world. I was a late bloomer and never had a super close friend in school, I was that shy wallflower. I yearned for a friendship like the one is this story. Coed friendships are hard to make and even harder to maintain. Especially through the tender high school/college years. As we get older hormones get in the way along with other relationships.

This story revolves around the girl vying for her mother’s approval which leads to a list of clichés that that the friends never want to commit. Upon finding the list late into senior year they decide that they want the typically high school experiences after all and make a point to cross off every item. Catch is, one of rules is already almost broken as the high school year is coming to a rapid close, #8, never pine silently after someone for the entirety of high school. Breaking these rules leads to adventures together and apart and makes the dynamic duo realize that “never” means missing out on things and how to be more open to life experiences.
