He talked, I listened. As I tried to appear interested, I thought that even Mojo was more interested in what I had to say. And he's a dog.
Theresa Joanne (T. J. to her friends) is having a difficult year. First her best friend moves away. Then there's the problem with boys: They never seem to notice that she's a girl. But when Lucy befriends T. J., things start to look up. But will Lucy's best friends Nesta and Izzie accept her and let her into their world of sleepovers, secrets, laughter, and advice?
I really am enjoying reading this series!!!! We are introduced to a new girl in this book, and she is absolutely as likable as the other 3 girls we have already gotten to know. I like the fact that these are true YA-Teen books. There is no swearing, nothing graphic, no sex or anything of the like. The most these girls are doing is *snogging* It's a series, I would 100% let my daughter read when she gets a bit older. Of course as an adult, it's nice to read something so *clean* and get lost in remembering my time as a YA, since I was certainly more like these girls than some of the other teens I have read about.....hahaha They are quick, easy and enjoyable reads, and I highly recomend this series to all!!! :) 4/5
Torie O'Shea takes the first week of December off from her job as genealogist with the local historical society to organize the family's reunion and get a head start on the upcoming holiday season. Amid a house full of relatives, she receives a letter pointing out the fact that her great-grandfather was murdered, and not accidentally killed in a hunting accident. Why has the family done nothing to clear up the murder in all that time? Torie begins to search for the truth through the gathered family members, through research in old newspaper articles, and through notes left from her great-grandmother. An uncle's death adds to her burdens and acts as a red herring, drawing the focus away from the great-grandfather's murder. A drugged cup of tea eventually leads to the killer. MacPherson provides Torie with a large family full of some wacky characters and dreary perfectionists. Her relationships with the myriad family members add background to both the main plot line and details about the other relatives. Memories are everywhere, effortlessly and quickly adding familiarity with the major players. The setting, a Missouri river town, shows that small towns can be blessings as well as irritations to those who live in them. The logical plot and real-to-life characters result in a compelling skeleton-in-the-closet story. Teens interested in their own family's history will appreciate Tori's mystery, and those who are unfamiliar with genealogy may find themselves looking more closely at their own kin.
Another great addition to this series!!!! This time Torie is investigating a 50 year old murder, I really enjoyed how it was a little different than trying to investigate a recent murder. I really like the history and genealogy aspect, as I mentioned in my review of the last book of hers I read. I just find it so intriguing, it makes me want to go out and trace my own roots and family tree!!!! The storyline progressed nicely and I enjoyed meeting Torie's crazy family. I find the character development of the main characters is really good from book to book, and I enjoy learning more about them all, as I open the pages of another book in the series. :) 4/5
In this raucous collection of true-life stories, actress and comedian Chelsea Handler recounts her time spent in the social trenches with that wild, strange, irresistible, and often gratifying beast: the one-night stand.
You've either done it or know someone who has: the one-night stand, the familiar outcome of a night spent at a bar, sometimes the sole payoff for your friend's irritating wedding, or the only relief from a disastrous vacation. Often embarrassing and uncomfortable, occasionally outlandish, but most times just a necessary and irresistible evil, the one-night stand is a social rite as old as sex itself and as common as a bar stool.
Enter Chelsea Handler. Gorgeous, sharp, and anything but shy, Chelsea loves men and lots of them. My Horizontal Life chronicles her romp through the different bedrooms of a variety of suitors, a no-holds-barred account of what can happen between a man and a sometimes very intoxicated, outgoing woman during one night of passion. From her short fling with a Vegas stripper to her even shorter dalliance with a well-endowed little person, from her uncomfortable tryst with a cruise ship performer to her misguided rebound with a man who likes to play leather dress-up, Chelsea recalls the highs and lows of her one-night stands with hilarious honesty. Encouraged by her motley collection of friends (aka: her partners in crime) but challenged by her family members (who at times find themselves a surprise part of the encounter), Chelsea hits bottom and bounces back, unafraid to share the gritty details. My Horizontal Life is one guilty pleasure you won't be ashamed to talk about in the morning.
Ok, I liked this book, but I think I am one of the few people who did not love it. While it was funny and all, I just felt like there was something missing *for me* I know the book has gotten awesome reviews all over and I don't want to take away from that. I enjoyed the book, I think I just might have had my expectations set too high because of all the fantastic reviews I read. I think reading too many good reviews does this for me sometimes. So while I really did enjoy it, it just wasn't one of my faves!!!! 3.5/5
Torie O'Shea investigates the tangled roots of an ancient family tree.
But nosiness in New Kassel is as native as the upcoming Oktoberfest. To Torie, the open door to Marie's house is more tempting than chocolate. Finding a hidden key and old documents in French make further investigating irresistible. But while juggling her growing suspicions, a hectic job at the historical society, two kids, and a sexy husband, Torie overlooks the obvious. Curiosity killed the cat. Someone killed Marie Dijon. And now Torie might know too much to live...
I say ... and you think ... ?
