40 - The Fault in Our Stars

The Fault in Our StarsTitle: The Fault in Our Stars
Author: John Green
My Area of Interest: I kept seeing the flyer for the movie, and I had to read the book first.
Finished 08/15/14 - Book was good, just not sure why this guy even wrote it.  Don't get me wrong it was good.  I just have to quote V in Orange is the new black, "I don't know why this sick *&$% wanted to write this."

27 - The Host

Title: The Host
Author:
My Area of Interest:I never really got into the Twilight books, but I did like the movies, just haven't seen the last one yet.  I had heard this was good, and since I wanted to see the movie, I just had to read the book first.  That and she is an LDS author, I always like to give those a shot when I can.

Finished 03/22/14 - A LOT better than I thought it would be.  This book turned out to be really good a humans vs aliens in a new light.  Goodreads.com has it has the first of a series, not really sure if it is going to be a series or not, I could see it going into one, but I also think it ended on the best note.

105 - Change of Heart


Title: Change of Heart
Author: Jodi Picoult
My Area of Interest: Read the Tenth Circle, liked it and wanted to try others of hers.
Finished 08/22/08 - Really good... but strong as well. I really thing I should space out her books more... to deep, too much to read back to back.

103 - The Tenth Circle


Title: The Tenth Circle
Author: Jodi Picoult
My Area of Interest: Was in a hurry at the library and looking for an audio, it was the only one I could find. I wasn't really interested and almost turned it in without finishing.
Finished 08/12/08 - I'm really glad I didn't turn this one in before finishing. I was worried Picoult wasn't my style, but I enjoyed this book. It was really good and kept me going all the way thru, I only wished it went faster because it was killing me not knowing what really happened, on the other hand I'm glad it didn't go faster as the detail was great. I'll be reading more of Picoult.

52 - The Washingtonienne


Title: The Washingtonienne
Author: Jessica Cutler
My Area of Interest: Chic-lit
Finished 04/21/08 - Really good. I did kinda have to get over the fact the main char. was a hoe, but it acutally made the story. It all fit, and was rather well done. I found myself not wanting it to end, I wanted to know more of what happened to her. It did have me thinking of the time I did close to the same thing, and had a blog of my online dating stuff... that didn't work out to well either, never works out good when one of the guys finds it.

39 - The Vampire's Beautiful Daughter


Title: The Vampire's Beautiful Daughter
Author: S.P. Somtow
My Area of Interest: Looked like a teen vamp read.
Finished 03/27/08 - When I got the book, it looked too small, and not really what I was thinking it was. I'm glad I decided to read on anyway. This was more about a Native American boy than it was about the Vampire. The girl in the story is half vamp, have human. The boy is pretty much half NA and half Jewish. The boy takes a spirit quest, pretty much as the girl does to find out for themselves who they are ment to be. Better than I thought it would be.
