From J. Kaye's Book Blog

Here's why. I began watching movies that were from his books. I rarely mix books and movies. One ...

This is the best book I have read this year (so far)! Okay, so I am a fan of girly books, but this one was such a fun and thought provoking story that I instantly felt a connection to it and the characters. Maybe it is because I am also a newlywed, but I could really feel for Ellen and what she ...

I picked the book up because of being a fan of songs like "Hey There Delilah" and Maroon 5's "Songs About Jane", I thought it would be fun to see what life is like as the muse for famous rock stars. As a 31-year-old, it felt like a ride through my adolescence in the '80s and '90s with lots of "I ...

I read Sara Gruen's Riding Lessons and then her follow-up Flying Changes and I was amazed at how well the author understands horses, stable management, and eventing. The story was fast paced and as a 40 something women with a teenage daughter and horses...I could totally relate. I hope she writes a ...
