Review of Wish you were Eyre


Pinned ImageTitle: Wish You Were Eyre

Author: Heather Vogel Frederick

Series: The Mother Daugther Book club
 
Pages: 442

Genre: Teen

Rating:  4 ½

     Wish You Were Eyre was a great ending to the mother daughter book club books. Even though I am sad that the series ended and I will miss the characters but I knew the series had to end. Heather did a great job with the way that she ended the series. I loved that the last book that the girls read was Jane Eyre. I was even more shocked that the book clubs tomboy who did not like to read at first finished the book before one of the book worms.

Review of What Where I Belong


Right Where I BelongTitle: Right Where I Belong

Author: Krista McGee

Genre: Christian Teen fiction

Rating: 5 stars
Publisher: 320
     Krista McGee has done it again. Right Where I Belong is the third book that I have read by Krista McGee and I was not disappointed.  I enjoyed the fact that characters from her first two books, First Date, and Staring MeRight Where I Belong in many ways parallels the Biblical account of Ruth. Natalia follows her step-mother Maureen home to Florida. Maureen was the one that lead her to a relationship with Christ.
     Krista’s books are Christian coming of age story, of teens finding out who they are in Christ. Her novels remind me a little of Robin Jones Gunn’s Christy Miller and Katie Weldon series.  Krista McGee has become one of my favorite authors and I cannot wait till her next book.  

Thanks to Booksneeze and the publisher for a e book review copy in exchange for an honest review

Author: Jenn McKinlay

Series: A Library Lover’s Mystery
 
Chapters: 27

Pages: 291

Genre: Cozy Mystery

Rating: 4 stars

     A nice cozy mystery, with a few cuss words. I enjoyed the fact that many of the scenes were in a library.  The fact that the main character is a librarian with her children’s librarian side kick was a neat twist.
