Storm in a B Cup Book Review

This story was one of the best accounts I have ever read about a battle with cancer. I understand that this is based on the author's personal journey and I was so impressed with her courage and candor. The book really opened my eyes to what going through this could be like. From the physical challenges to the personal ones, including relationships with others, I can say that Sophie's story was one that I felt deeply. It was truly a powerful story but also had that chick lit approachability that will make this accessible for those who may need it.

This was my first time reading one of Lindy Dale's books but I can guarantee it will not be the last!

Lindy lives on acreage in country Western Australia where she spends her days teaching, writing, walking and looking after orphan lambs. (See Daisy Darling)

She’s a hopeless U2 and Bon Jovi fan - as judged by her collection of tour t-shirts. She’s also rugby union fanatic, coffee and champagne lover, chocoholic, over-exaggerator, trashy TV, music and iPhone addict.

Lindy has been writing in the genre of Chick Lit & Women's Fiction for the past ten years but has also tried her hand at a paranormal romance in the book, Angel’s Bend. Chick Lit remains her main love.

I Know You're There Review

I enjoyed this book as the story had many inspiring moments but I almost couldn't believe all of the hardships that Jill went through in such a short period of time. Though I suppose one could believe it as the old saying goes, 'When it rains, it pours.' Jill was a character in transition and who really came into her own after dealing with many difficult and heartbreaking events. I almost feel like there was not quite enough detail in the second half of the book compared to the first which seemed more drawn out. I did enjoy the story and her ultimate triumph over everything that happened.

Zoey and the Moment of Zen Review

As with her first book, Cat Lavoie wrote a book that was so enjoyable it practically read itself. I just love her turn of phrase and the characters she writes are brought to life through her amazing descriptions. I loved the story though I questioned Zoey's sanity at certain points but I think that was probably entirely the point. I only have one objection or perhaps complaint; the book kept me up late because I couldn't put it down! (And I swear I am not biased because she lives in my city!)

Cat Lavoie lives in Montreal, Canada with her tempestuous cat, Abbie. Her debut novel, Breaking the Rules, was published in August 2012 by Marching Ink. If Cat isn't reading or writing, she's most likely watching too much TV or daydreaming about her next trip to London.

Dandy Day

Dandy Day was such an enjoyable read. It was at times thoughtful, at times whimsical but always enjoyable. It really was an easy and quick read that I couldn't believe that I was done and I wished I wasn't. Books like this are one of the reasons that I love reading as much as I do. A great heroine, a realistic plot line (minus a few little details) and a happy ending. What more could you ask for?

Annie was born in Hollywood, raised in the valley. She avoided the valley girl accent by speaking backwards for the first 15 years of her life.

As a writer, she is a produced and published playwright and recently had a comedic scene in the NBC/UNIVERSAL showcase. Her web-series, Karma’s a B*tch

Tripped Up Love Review

I loved this cute romance novel that showed that even after a devastating loss that you can move on and find love (and lust) again. Heather was a character who was loveable and realistic though I did find her naive at times. But that was perhaps one of the reasons she was so endearing. The story was a good one that wasn't entirely predictable and I enjoyed the humor in it.

Julie Farley is the author of Tripped Up Love and The New Ever After.  She lives in Richmond, VA with her husband, four rarely quiet children and her 50 pound lap dog. Julie spends her days writing and teaching preschool. She chronicles her adventures on her blog atjuliefarley.com and is working on the next book in The New Ever After Series.

Secrets of a Spiritual Guru

I have to say that I wasn't sure what to expect from this book but I loved the somewhat tongue-in-cheek humor that the author often used. This story was entirely very readable and I enjoyed it so much that I read this book in one day. The "logic" that was used by the main character in making any decision or taking any action was often very amusing to me as I could identify at times with the logic used. I definitely look forward to more of this author's stories!

Tamara Lee Dorris has been a life-long fan of personal and spiritual development, and has written several books that fall under the category of "self-help." She wrote Secrets of a Spiritual Guru as a way of poking fun at how easy it is to become an online expert. Her other novels revolve around contemporary issues and spiritual enlightenment. Tamara is also an adjunct professor, radio host, and long time real estate professional who has gone crazy selling houses, loves yoga, drinks wine and is still as addicted as ever to personal development. She lives in Northern California with a bunch of annoying animals and her husband. She has four kids that she likes a lot and a mother that drives her nuts.

His Fantasy Maid Review

I have to say that I was a bit mislead by this book so I feel like I am not giving it a great review. This book was categorized under chick lit so I agreed to review it yet when I received my copy, I was puzzled by the cover. Quite quickly into it, I realized that it was a romance novel, which is definitely not my cup of tea so therefore I wasn't able to enjoy it as much as some people would have and probably did.
This story itself was a good idea, not one I personally would have thought of but definitely interesting and probably not duplicated! For someone who is into this genre, I think that they would enjoy this book.

Susan Blexrud grew up in Orlando, Florida, and now lives in Asheville, North Carolina, with her husband of 27 years, John, who proposed to her on New Year’s Eve 1985 on the Venice-Simplon Orient Express, halfway between Paris and Vienna.  Their son Chris lives and works in Manhattan, and daughter Allison is a college junior. Susan has a Chihuahua named Baby and a cockatiel named Romeo. She is an avid reader, and she leads two monthly book clubs in Asheville.  She is a walker and Yoga enthusiast. She enjoys quilting and bird watching (loves hummingbirds), and most of all, writing her next story.
