Playing Catch Up

So I have been reading a lot, but not updating this blog.  I blame it on school being out and having to share the computer with my daughters!  So this post will catch me up on the last few books I have read.
Room - Emma Donoghue
This is a remarkable book.  A young woman kidnapped, and locked in a shed.  She gives birth to a boy, and raises him in "Room."  Room is his whole world.  He does not know that life exists outside.  He does not know he is a captive.  It is an amazing look at survival, a mothers love, and society.  I would recommend this to anyone.
Edenbrooke- Julianne Donaldson
This is a fun, clean romance.  Set in England, Jane Austinish, great book for young women.  Twin sisters that are very different, one looking for love, one looking for marriage and status.  There are fun twists and turns, and it is all very appropriate!

The Lucky One - Nicholas Sparks
Typical Nicholas Sparks.  If you like his books, you will like this book.  I liked it, but I wish they didn't always sleep together so quickly in his books!  This was good story, I am excited to see the movie, although I have heard it is not the greatest.

Definitely Not Mr. Darcy - Karen Doorenbos
I love books that play on Jane Austin books.  This was just ok though.  There was to much mention of "unmentionable" body parts, and the desire to use these parts!  The story took some interesting turns, but not worth the rest!

Faith - Lori Copeland
This is another "mail order bride" book.  I seem to be drawn to them.  This one was a very good, fun, clean read.  Faith goes to Texas to marry Nicholas Shepherd,  She encounters a very moody man, and much moodier mother in law to be.  Fate keeps interfering with the actual ceremony.  Was she wrong to come?  Would he ever actually talk to her and let her in his life?  What should she do with this ornery woman!  This was a fun book!  Good for teens and moms!
