1. Bake Sale Murder by Leslie Meier

This is book number 13 in the Lucy Stone series and it brings no bad luck to Leslie Meier's wonderful character. This book was great from beginning to end. We meet some new neighbor's in Tinker's Cove and they are great additions. I am reading this series out of order so this is my first lucy Stone myestery set in Tinker's Cove. I plan on starting at the beginning with Mistletoe Murder now that I have read the most recent. 5/5

#31 Love the One You're With by Emily Giffin



This is my final read for 2008 finished at 9:41pm on the 31st!

I picked up this book because I have read two others by her and really enjoyed them. In this story Ellen has moved on from a long-term relationship with Leo to marry her best friends brother Andy. All things are going well and Leo is the past until one day years later their paths cross in a New York City intersection. Ellen is faced with the decision to choose between the two and she picked wisely (at least I think so). I really enjoyed the storyline although there were some dry patches along the way. I think that this is one others can definitely relate to about the "one that got away." 4/5

#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
