Finally got around to finish it. I think the plot is good and the characters are quite well developed. The total time span covered in the book is like 30 years? may have to read it again cos it was chopped into too many parts.
Now I finally know the reason behind the titles. Solid storyline but you'll really grow to hate the family. If it were my first marcelli book I'd have skipped out on the rest seeing the double standrads of the traditional family.
Francesca's story. So so I guess. If I were a guy I'd totally freak if I found out that I had fathered a child. Luckily I'm female and its fairly obvious if there's a bun baking.
interesting plot. You'll really feel the heroine's frustration with her father.
Madame borrowed it specially for me. Her fav book. Erm. I thought the sec half was better. If not for the high recommandation from mdm I would not have gotten throught the first 2 chaps. I dun think liberated women act like dougless.
No happily ever after, no excessive unbelievable charactersand scenarios. Only good narrative with solid character development. Key to the golden thunderbird was the first book by Maureen Johnson that I read glad that I like this one as much.
I liked this book. Makes me wanna go watch ice hockey. Didnt know that sport teams were so supersitious though
With a title like this what did u expect... I only borrowed it cos of the review by karen marie moning. Quite compelling. Can't say that I totally agree with the heroine on a lot of things. But then it has been pointed out that I've never been in love.
The book was more on how the author found out abt her risk of getting breast/ovarian cancer and how she struggled to deal with it. The history of how genetic testing came abt and the discovery of disease causing gene were interwoven. I thought it was good.
Ahh!!! I totally love love love this book!!!! For once everyone is flawed and the HEA took abt 8? months to happen. But then I spotted 3 errors in the printing and there was A PAGE MISSING from the copy I got. OMG. Hope they re issue this book.
This book totally make me wanna raid the cabinets for wine and learn all abt them. Set in vineyards and includes wine making processes.... so fascinating. Wanna go wine tasting in Cali!!!
really entertained by the antics of Hope.
Eh. I think I might have read Cross my heart too. Not a bad story, but I don't really like the writing style. Having a murder as a back story, it could have been so much more exciting
No unexpected pregnancies, no happily ever after after only days together, believable plot. Only didnt like some of the secondary characters much...
The third book in the series and the last for me to read. Not bad I guess... But I seriously don't get the initial attraction that every romance author seem to rely on.
This was the man boobs book I was talking about. I think I just fell in love with the Marcelli family.
My first rachel gibson book. Kinda regret not knowing the author before the nlb book exchange. I'm convinced that I saw her books there T.T
The last book in the series. I think I like this the best. Espescially the first chapter on the funeral.
the first book with the 4 writers. I love it XD mystery + romance all rolled into one. Have been pretty hung up on serial killers after to many episodes of criminal minds
another of the expose as fiction book. Can't say that I enjoyed it much though.
Weakest book in the series to me. Maybe because its the first??? Or maybe its cos i read this last.
I think this may be my fav book in the series. But I still dun get why the grandma was such a bitch.
I love this book!! baby girl of the family finding out that she's acutally the half sister looks for her real father and ends up with the bio dad's adopted son. XD
Ah. The much awaited. Still havnt found it in me to enjoy this book. When the author feels a need to explain herself, you know that nothing good comes out of it. A lot of questions answered though. 'Bout time.
I think I just found my new favourite author. Her books are long but I enjoy every minute XD
I think I even like the evil grandmother a little!
Chick lit through and through pleasure to read when stressed.
Mythology meets real (fiction) life?
I'd think its more romance than fantasy.
Consumer behaviour? I think? I just enjoyed reading it... Light and very non-econ... There was even a chapter on placebos
I really enjoyed this. May need some prior knowledge to fully understand. But a good informative read nonetheless.
Another Crusie book. I actually picked it up last year but didnt read it cos of the "generation" gap bet the character and me. But after a period of reading dry spell, I decided to give it another try and did not regret it.
Another classic comtemporary romance. Romance might have died in real life but its ver much alive in fiction XD
This is like a condensed version of metab and molecular genetics textbook. With complexed concepts simplified and hidden behind interesting medical conditions. This is wat I call life science.
quite interesting. Links stuff that you won't normally think about.
I kinda like this author. And as usual, I have more interest in the supporting characters
last of the heather wells mystery. I still dun get how Cooper suddenly "realised" that he loves Heather.
I think I can dedicate one whole post to the evils of Isabella Swan's extremely screwed up thinking. Her image of a selfish user totally shines through. Some of the ideas are not bad. I esp liked that Volturi.
Hmmmm... seriously light read. I dunno if its because I'm more used to complexed story arcs that play out in at least 500 pages or whatever.... but its entertaining and I'm looking for the sequel
ok its good, but seem to lack a bit of action.... but being part of a series I guess its expected. I went ahead and bought it but cant seem to find darkfever >.<
Not really romance.... more of fantasy and thriller bah. Too many questions unanswered. Hopefully book 2 will be more enlightening
Its kinda action packed and funny but I read it in so many parts that I couldn't keep up :(
Yup jumped on the bandwagon. Didnt really like it though... I just wanna read on to know what happens next.
Another babylon book... Can't say that I didnt expect some of the more ridiculous stuff that happens in airports and planes... but still fun too read ( and good to know).
intriguing and a little confusing at times.... but I just that makes you wanna read on to find out what will happen next...
I love this book and all its eccentricities. Second time I read it. This time with more discerning eyes and some econs training. Still as entertaining.
Light hearted writing.... may not be able to understand the naunces though... the "nerd" thing is just more pronounced in the American society then ours.
despite the provocative title, the book is relatively tame. DUH. Its abt mitochondria XD Read this book halfway in J2 trying to complete it....
Yeah! Macroecons is love! I love Macro! Anyone wanna take it with me next term???
Good for none science-cy ppl too.
24 stress filled hours in a hotel. There's a BBC series too!
Highly entertaining. Full of gossip and gory details of the glamourous world of fashion.
Weddings!!! I love books with weddings. It really doesnt matter if said wedding happens or not... Its the planning part (and everything in bet) that gets me. CAKE TASTING...haha...haha...*drooling*
Anyone can read this! Esp if you dun like math... contains lots of (useless) tidbits of information!!!
Hmmm.... I kinda cried at the front part. Maybe I was over reacting but I really really don't get the last chapter.
OMG. I love it. It was the last SEP book I have left, so I had to take my time with it. Worth every minute~witty dialogue, fixing dysfunctional families, too serious kid and a headless beaver XD
highly amusing but don't understand half of the references
popular versus normal. I always thought normal will win, we definitely have more people than them. Well... this book was quite enjoyable. I like quirky characters.
nice twist. Father is alive and the bad guy. I like it XD
I like a side of thriller/action in books. This one was fun to read. Kept a body count while reading. Love Agnes and her anger management problems.
Didn't like this book much. Had to pay for rental. Too sexually charged. The later books are better. Quirky characters.
Caused a book hunting frenzy. I like the Visitation series better. Was more interested in the side plots in this book.
Ditto Causing Havoc
Picked it up at about the same time as Jinx. Erm... really don't know what to say about this book... I don't really like short stories.
Always liked Meg Cabot. Like her delivery. But somehow this book feels a (very good) rip off of "The Craft" (a seriously old movie).
Part of series (Once upon a time). Good retellings no more damsel in distress waiting for her prince."My bounty is as boundless as the sea,My love as deep; the more I give to thee, The more I have, for both are infinite." -Romeo and Juliet
Don't really remember whether I read it early this year or late last year... But adding it any way. Read Faking It (which follows this story) and naturally was curious about its "sister book". Faking it was better hands down, more eccentric characters XD
Kept the book until it was due. Really funny and light read.
Re-read the book. This is one of my all time favourite. I have a copy. That says a lot... I'm normally a read-enjoy-discard person so the library works fine. But I had to get a copy of this. It is that good.
Picked up this book when I was checking for new books from Victoria Laurie. Found the name familiar, turned over was surprised to see who wrote it. Yup. Its the guy on House (eh... he is House). Not that good a novel but not that bad either.
Good book. Everyone should read it. But the main character is a good christian (erm... that means if u are totally against read even a harmless amount of content abt religion in your free time then forget it.)
