But what should have been a "Love Boat" cruise suddenly turns into a game of dizzying intrigue and harrowing danger, and Jenner finds herself taken hostage by a menacing stranger--a stranger that helps her rediscover feelings she hasn't had in years. Now if she can only survive to live a life worth living ....

A couple of years ago you couldn't talk me to reading books about vampires but
every since I tried the Twilight Series it has me hooked. It's not all I read though...
Books I haven't started yet, but will are:
Love in bloom by Sheila Roberts is a book I want to get to soon
also A year on Ladybug Farm by Donna Ball
Tired of always dreaming and never doing, Cici, Lindsay, and Bridget buy a run-down mansion, nestled in the picturesque Shenandoah Valley. Over the course of a year, they ultimately learn that sometimes the best things can happen when everything goes wrong.

Looks like you read a couple of good books last week! I see you've listed Love In Bloom to read soon. I read it a few months ago and enjoyed it - loved the message. I'm a Sheila Roberts fan : )
I can't wait to read The Last Song!
I love Sookie! :-)
And Love in Bloom was very good -- I really enjoyed it and found the characters charming.
I have not read any Sookie Stackhouse books yet. I think I am the only one in the world who hasn't. I love Nicholas Sparks. I never get tired of his books. I am putting Love In Bloom on my wishlist. Sometimes you need a good feel good story!
I'm so glad you stopped by our blog! We love to read and are always looking for new book ideas. I'm reading....Her Fearful Symmetry by Audry Niffenegger. She wrote Time Traveler's Wife, which is one of my favorite books. I have high hopes for this new one. Denise@Cottagesisters
