8/100: The Help By Karen Stockett



This is my new favorite book. The story is just incredible - funny, exciting, moving. I got the audio version from the library and I would HIGHLY recommend listening to it. They did an excellent job casting the voices and it really told the story.  I can't wait to purchase the book and read it.

7/100: Evermore by Alyson Noel


I was told by the staff at Barnes and Noble that this was the new "Twilight" and so I picked it up for my sister-in-law for Christmas. Once she was finished she passed it on to me (what a great gift! I get to borrow it!). I really enjoyed most of it. Ever (that's her name - Ever. Her friend's name is Haven. Almost too cutesy, but it works), the main character, is a MUCH better character to get attached to than the whiny, swooning Bella. I like her back story and thought she was really interesting. HOWEVER, there seemed to be a lot of holes in the story. Maybe that's because it's a series? Who knows. Well, I will, because I plan on reading the series! Not earth shattering, but definitely a good book.
