Sundays at Tiffany's (~)

So, when I said I was going to read something easy...I guess I didn't clarify. I meant chick lit... so I just finished Sundays at Tiffany's by James Patterson and Gabrielle Charbonnet. I probably could have finished it within a day, but I wanted to space myself out with it as I've been so used to taking months to finish a book...

So this one is about a woman who falls in love with her imaginary friend (who she had when she was 8) and accidently runs into him in real life when she was in her 30's. It follows their 'love story', although it wasn't a very well developed story. But I suppose after reading the Millennium series, no stories would have the plot twists and such that that series did. But anyway, the premise behind the book was cute and I could definitely see a romantic comedy movie come out of it, if the story itself could be better developed.

It was a nice step back into the world of reading fiction. But now I'm onward to Tatiana de Rosnay's A Secret Kept, if it's anything like Sophie's Key, I should love it! But until then, Happy Reading!

Three to Get Deadly (~)

Finished the last of the 3-book bundle of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series. This one being Three to Get Deadly. Not a whole lot to say, honestly.  I'm excited to move onwards to something with a bit more depth to it. I've had enough of chick lit.

Basically this follows Stephanie as she tries to apprehend the neighbourhood candy man. Only it gets her into bigger trouble than she had ever expected. This book (as with the other 2 I had read) are over the top in antics, but it's an easy read to take your mind off of life.

I'd only recommend it to people who want to read something fast and amusing, but doesn't use much brain power. Anyway not sure what I'll be reading next, so until then, happy reading!

One For the Money (~)

Pretty quick in finishing up this book. It's One For the Money by Janet Evanovich. It's a simple read. I guess it could be called a mystery. Well a chick mystery. It's not quite chick lit, but it's not quite mystery either. It didn't exactly grab my attention, but it was easy enough to read that I didn't exactly have to focus in order to follow the story line.

This book followed Stephanie Plum who becomes a bounty hunter because she was unemployed and had no idea where her next income was going to come from. Anyway she was given the file for a man who had been in and out of her life multiple times and seemed to be a 'slippery' character. It follows her 'adventure' to capture this guy with a lot of hijinx along the way.

This book really wasn't anything special, but I must admit the characters were pretty funny at times, especially Stephanie's grandmother. I will probably continue to read the series only because they're easy reads, but I unno if I'd recommend them. I bought the first 3 in the series, so most likely I will read all 3 and then move on to another series. Anyway, until next time, happy reading!

Shopaholic Ties the Knot (~)

Yeah, it didn't take me long to finish up this book, but of course it's because it's one of the Shopaholic series, so it's an easy chick lit reads. This one is Shopaholic Ties the Knot by Sophie Kinsella. Not much to really write about this book, only because it's chick lit. Everything I've written about chick lit is the same, so you guys can look back at past blog posts and go from there.

So basically this book follows Becky Bloomwood as she prepares for her marriage to Luke Brandon. Instead of spending too much money however, she ends up having 2 weddings prepared for her, and she has to figure out what she's going to do, and which wedding she is going to choose to go through with.

This book is an easy read, and if I had had the time, I probably would've finished it in a day, but unfortunately life got in the way, ha ha ha! Until next time, Happy Reading! Also Happy New Year!
