Poppy, 2008
Great Summer Read!
As a student, in school I would nomally not read these books (I save these for weekends, winter break, summer, spring break, et cetera). Although these books may not be mental enrichment, they're mental enrichment (in a relaxed sort of way). I read this in an hour over ...

Dear American Airlines: A Novel
Jonathan Miles
Houghton Mifflin Co, 2008
Just exceptional
Written apparently by a specialist in reviews of New York City cocktails, "Dear American Airlines" is a book that recalls A.J. Liebling's comment that "wine drinking is more subjective than horse racing and nearly as subjective as love". This is a phenomenal book I ...

From J. Kaye's Book Blog
Do you remember when Oprah was overweight and she use to pick out a rock-on book every month? You know, back in the days of OPEN HOUSE and DROWNING RUTH? If we could go back in time, this might have been one of those books she selected.

Loved it!
Let me just start out saying that I loved this book! It exposed human nature and thought unlike a lot of books I have read. I can relate to a lot of their thoughts and insecurities, and this comforted me. Also, it was full of surprises--a few predictable ones, but a ...

Enjoyed this one as well
I just love the story between Luke & Becky - I guess that's why I love this series so much. I admit that I get frustrated with Becky and her not picking which wedding she wanted to have. I'm not the type that has a problem with making decisions nor do I have a ...
