HOUSE RULES

FORMAT:  Paperback
RATING: 5/5












What a wonderful book. It truly brings to light the issues with Asperger's Syndrome. You wouldn't realize that it exists because of our views on Autism. This is a highly functioning form of Autism. I loved how it went from view points. In a lot of stories this is the only way to get your point across and make the reader understand what is going on. Jodi Picoult is such a wonderful writer. I would highly recommend.

I really liked this book. It was a good way to end the series. It wasn't my favorite book of the series, but it definitely felt like everything was tied together at the end. I would definitely recommend this series to anyone who loves contemporary romance.

I would give this book 4 1/2 stars. It took a little while for me to get into it though. The point of view kept changing. I liked how the author wove the lives of everyone that told the story together. It was very interesting that he wrote a story based on a real life tight rope walker in 1974. That is a strange thing to create a story around. It worked. I have to say that my favorite point of view was Tillie. It was the most interesting read. I would recommend this book. It's not really one that I would have chosen for myself, but that is what book club is all about.

SAVOR THE MOMENT

TITLE:  SAVOR THE MOMENT
AUTHOR:  Nora Roberts
GENRE:  Contemporary Romance
PAGES:  339
FORMAT:  audiobook
RATING: 4/5












I really enjoyed this book.  I'd have to say that it's the best of the series for me.  I thought it was weird that brother and sister kind of talked about their sex lives, but I guess that's how some families are.  I can't want to read the last book of the series, but I will be sad when it ends because I am really liking the setting and characters of this series.

THE DISTANT HOURS

TITLE:  THE DISTANT HOURS
AUTHOR:  Kate Morton
GENRE:  Fiction
PAGES:  576
FORMAT:  Kindle
RATING: 3/5












This book took forever to get to the meat of it. I kept waiting for some weird thing and it wasn't that surprising. I would have given it 5 stars except it drug on and on. It was well written or it would have gotten 2 stars to be honest. It could have been done in 300 pages or so. I wouldn't really recommend this book. I am going to try reading her other ones though.

BED OF ROSES

TITLE:  BED OF ROSES
AUTHOR:  Nora Roberts
GENRE:  Contemporary Romance
PAGES:  368
FORMAT:  Kindle
RATING: 4.5/5











I am falling in love with this series. I think it's because of the 4 girls who have been friends since childhood. There's just something about it that is desirable. At least to me. This book follows Emma who has fallen for Jack a long time family friend. She wants to take it to the next level, but is unsure if Jack will be on board for that. This was my favorite so far, but it was only the second one. I look forward to reading the other 2. I would definitely recommend this series to any romantic out there. They are very sweet stories. I would give it 4.5, but I can't.

This book was very sweet.  I loved the fact that it was from the view point of a dog.  I would give it 4.5 stars if I could.  It was weird reading about formula 1 tracks and drivers that I knew of.  I have never read a book that mentions them before.  It was a very sad book for me, but I am very glad that I read it.
