The Other Queen by Philippa Gregory
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I liked this book ... it felt like it took me forever to read it, but it was an interesting story about the imprisonment of Mary Queen of Scots.

Review: How To Be Single by Liz Tuccillo

How to Be Single by Liz Tuccillo
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

I rarely start a book and then not finish it, but I just can't get into this one. I'm a bit disappointed -- from the description I thought it was going to be a cute book about some single women and their struggles to find "Mr. Right" ... in a way that's what it's about, but in a way it's not, and it's not cute. I thought I would find myself chuckling out loud at some of their exploits, but I didn't. It almost reads more like a non-fiction book about 4 women, and one in particular who decides to travel the world to learn how women around the world deal with being single. Perhaps I can't get into it because I'm not single and I never really did the dating scene, and I've never lived in a large city ... I don't know, but I've got too many books on my TBR list to spend time reading one that isn't enjoyable.

Review: Sisterhood Everlasting by Ann Brashares

Sisterhood Everlasting by Ann Brashares
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The sisterhood have grown up ... this novel finds us 10 years down the road, the girls are about to turn 30. A moving story that shows even when you're all grown up, sometimes things don't work out like you thought they would and sometimes you need to still step out on faith and go after what you want. Although the original series was aimed at YA's, I'm thinking most YA's wouldn't enjoy this book as much. I think you almost have to be 30 or older to really understand the true emotions behind this one.

Review: Forever in Blue The Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood by Ann Brashares

Forever in Blue: The Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood by Ann Brashares
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I'm glad there's a 5th book, I'm hoping some of the things the girls let "go wrong" in this book will be rectified in the next.
