#30 The Starter Wife by Gigi Levangie Grazer



So I started to watch this series on USA without even knowing that there was a book behind it. I loved this book from the first page. It is delightful to read about how shallow those in Hollywood are. I am so glad that Gracie did not let her life fall into complete shambles after being told that her husband wanted a divorce. This was a page turner that was intriguing and left me wanting more. I thoroughly enjoyed it, definitely a 5/5.

#29 New Year's Eve Murder by Leslie Meier



This is book #12 in the Tinker's Cove series and my first read. I loved my first visit to Tinker's Cove although it was brief as the majority of the story takes place in New York. The glamour of a mother-daughter makeover turned deadly when one of the editor's turned up dead. Lucy had to do her detective work to get to the bottom of it all. 4.75/5

#28 Eclipse by Stephanie Meyer



This being the 3rd and almost final installment of what has become known as the "Twilight Saga" was a good read. I think that it was better than the 2nd but the 1st is still my favorite. 4/5

#27 New Moon by Stephanie Meyer


This book is of course the 2nd in the Twilight Saga. I did not find it as addictive as the first book though. It also did not leave me wanting to pick up the third one right away either. I did enjoy parts of it but I think that the storyline went in a direction that I did not think it needed to go. Bella meets Jacob in this one and he seems to get her out of her Edward funk but not for long. I personally think that Jacob did not need to come into the picture and complicate things. I think that Bella is perfectly made for Edward. 4.5/5

#26 Dying in Style by Elaine Viets



This is the first in the Josie Marcus mystery shopper series and I absolutely loved it. Josie is a mystery shopper, a woman after my own heart, and she finds herself in the middle of a fashion designers corporate merger nightmare. This book is filled with twists and hints as to the beginnings of a possible romance for Josie. 5/5.
