The Wedding - Nicholas Sparks
I loved this book! This is the third N.S. book I've read, and the story has certainly satisfied my thirst for literary romance...for a while. Even though I think his writing style is a bit simple, Nicholas Sparks did a wonderful job of weaving in just the right amount of detail to keep me interested and anticipating the heart-warming end. The lead character is so genuine, and watching his transformation was really enjoyable. I would love to have a husband like the one in this book (after the transformation, of course). Even though I felt the ending was wrapped up just a tad fast, it's definitely a book worth re-reading later.

Comfort & Joy - Kristin Hannah
November 28, 2007 - Posted by Angel: I needed a book to help get me into the Christmas spirit. This seemed like the perfect one based on the title alone. All in all, this book did it's job, and I feel full of Christmas spirit now. I'll leave the details up to Heather, if she wants them, because I don't want to say too much about the story. It's different, not what I had expected. There are a few really good twists and a bit of a guessing game. It's definitely a page turner, and you might get lost along the way, but like the main character, Joy, you find your way home and things turn out well in the end.

I must admit that I figured out something was up pretty fast and then was distracted by it the whole time. Either she was a ghost, or something was all imagination. Kind of Sixth Sense-ish. Yeah for good endings. Overall, a good story. 3 out of 5.
