15 through 17

ahhh... I have a feeling my pace is going to slow down a lot. I am officially a stay-at-home-mom, sans nanny. No more afternoons hanging out at the library reading alone, no more movie matinees preceded by hours of browsing at the book shop... but Gymboree and Sesame Street are fun :)

15. The Flirt by Kathleen Tessaro. I loved her first book, Elegance and Innocence was OK. This novel was a little bit more edgy than Elegance and reminded me of Innocence but I enjoyed it more. I found the story line easier less convoluted and loved the characters. I recommend it but don't compare it to Elegance.
16. True Confessions by Rachel Gibson. A silly romp about a kooky small town, a tabloid reporter and a sheriff. Not literature per se, but deserved more than the 4 books for $10 table.
17. Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyer. In my opinion the second best book of the series. There were parts of this story that really spoke to me that I will not discuss here because of spoilers. I enjoyed the character arcs immensely in this book and finally felt that Bella finally showed some growth.
