#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.

#25 Shop till You Drop by Elaine Viets

This is another new author to me and the first read of the Dead End Job series. I was delighted with the characters and plot of this story. The women that shop the store remind me of the Shopaholic series type with serious attitude. I will definitely be picking up more reads by this author. This gets a 5/5.

#24 The Penguin Who Knew Too Much by Donna Andrews

This is a new author to me and this mystery was whimsical and funny. From the zoo animals being hauled in more and more each day to Meg's exasperation over the whole ordeal, this was a great read. I give it a 4.5/5

#23 Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah

This book was awful, in a great way! The last 40 pages of the book were a waterfall for me. Towards the last 20 I started to get a grip but then the waterworks were on again. This story reminds me so much of a friendship I have with my closest girlfriend that I can't imagine getting older and one of us losing each other. I would recommend this book to anyone with heart. I look forward to reading others by this author. Definitely a 5/5.
