Books #20 and #21

I finished two books last week during all of our driving!

The first one is called Searching for Spice by Megan DiMaria. This is the first book published by the author. I did enjoy it, but it took me a while to figure out why I wasn't totally into it though....it's written in first person and that was just hard for me to get into it. I guess I'm just not used to reading first person. The storyline was good though. The main character, Linda, was looking for ways to spice up her marriage. She tried all sorts of things to capture her husband's attention and rekindle the spark of their early dating days. The family faces several issues that divert Linda's attention away from her plan to spice up her marriage. From these trials she learns a valuable lesson about her marriage.

The second book is one my friend gave me a long time ago to read and I finally read it. It is called Twilight by Kristen Heitzmann. This was such a great book that I really enjoyed reading. It was one of those I couldn't put down because I had to know what happened. The main character, Cal, has experienced a tragedy as a fire fighter. Through the book he works through his issues while also dealing with the feelings that resurface when his first love, Laurie, moves back to town. They both want to be friends, but Laurie has some secrets she doesn't share immediately with Cal. I was excited to find more books by this author at our local library and look forward to reading more from her.

Glad you liked Twlight. It was a good one. I way glad the ending wasn't 'weak' as oftentimes I feel is the case! lol

Have you ever been to the blog on my list of friends called Loop de Loops in La La Land? That is Kay's blog and she is friends with Megan De Maria and has plugged that book on her blog. She also has a link to Megan's blog on her page. I've been thinking about reading that book. Thanks for the review!
