ONCE UPON A PILLOW

by DODD / BROCKWAY

I’ve not read Christina Dodd before but the blurb of this book interests me enough to pick it up. Let’s see if she’s good.

The Mommy Fund

by Madeleine K. Jacob

I can’t believe I actually bother to finish reading this book. The plot is unrealistic and overloaded with too much unnecessary details and the writing style is inconsistent. What a time waster.

The Mermaid Chair: A Novel

by Sue Monk Kidd

I’m not sure why this book receives bad reviews, because I absolutely love it. Kidd is a word master as exemplifies in this excellent book. The storyline and set, though fictitious, feel so real, and I can really identify with the character a great deal. This has to be my best read for the year. Highly recommend to everyone.
