Bookholic-Part 6

Dear readers, Hope you're all Ok, once again! :) It seems that I enjoy sharing articles with you theses days^^, enjoy lol, I'm kidding, it's always a pleasure! Just that in the weeks to come, I'll probably be busy between exams, essays and my dissertation to do, and won't have too much times to write but don't worry, I won't forget you! :) So, in waiting, I was thinking of doing a short bookholic again (like that I won't have too many books to share with you, not that I don't like it! Just that if I let too much times in between, well, it takes more times and/or I won't do a bookholic for some times! Anyway, just a few books I've recently read and wanted to share with you again! :) It's not a secret by now, you must have guess lol , I love books! Kindle or I-Pad can be useful as you don't have to take your books anymore. And it save some space, but let me tell you, there is nothing better than to turn the page of a book, to see the words floating before your eyes, to be able to make some notes or hilight something important, to take the book in your hands, feel it or smell it...I just love the feeling and that won't replace the fact that I love having a library around, where you puts all your favorite books and can't stop looking at them or re-read them a millions times, so much that the cover is a bit used by now but you don't care because it's proof that the book in questions has really lived...the feeling can't be replaced by the Kindle or I-pad or any different new device that will appear...I don't know what's for you but paper version of a book can't really be replaced! I know we live in the 21st century and everything is evolving...nevertheless I really hope books won't disapear too fast...after all if books have survived so many centuries...why can't it survive despite that? Maybe the book market can have both, don't you think? :) I really hope so! :) can't imagine a world without books!!! :) Sorry in advance, I've still some trouble to hiligth the title of the books I'm going to share with you...I also have some problems to put some pictures or put somes sentences en Italique...grr...(I'm not a specialist in computer^^) despite the fact that I could do it before...don't know what happened...anyway, will try to see that soon but for now, I've to get used to it...:) So...let's begin...shall we? :) the first book is "Who needs Mr Darcy?" -I'm aware I've mentionned in the previous bookholic but I've just wanted to give my opinion, will be quick-promise!^^ So, as you must already know, this time the author has chosen to follow the adventure of the silliest and stubborn young girl of England: Miss Lydia Bennett! It goes after her marriage with the infamous Wickham! Here, he's dead in the battlefield (but that doesn't seem to be the real reason) and she's widowed. but never fear, Lydia has a plan! She's still want to marry the richest man she can find!^^ She still doesn't have learn her lesson apparently! And you still want to 'knock out' with her fried pan^^and pray that her senses come back!Notheless, she's still determined! A fun book and the spirit of the Lydia's characters is loyally kept by Jean Burnett (the author). Though, I still prefer Elizabeth or Jane! (smile). But it's a good book! and you're quite surprise by Lydia's choice of man, in the end-the one she has fallen in love with...though maybe not...I'll let you guess why! :) The second book and third book are the books written by the same author- Sarah Morgan- simple love stories, nice and funny and you're sure tO have (rire) your happy ending! :) It's untitled: 'Once Upon a Christmas'- it follows two heroines- the first one Bryony is doctor and has a lovely little girl. It's christmas soon and her only wish this year is to have a dad! How can she make it happened in time? A lovely story, once again! :) Meanwhile, the second heroine, Helen, Bryony's best friends, has recently been through a bad break-up (her fiancé pratically left her at the altar! Not nice!!!) and doesn't look for love. But never fear...she finds love again, just like her best friends! Lovely story as well! :) The other book is: "Summer Kisses", Fiona's summer is simple and really wants to follow her one and only rule: NOT TO KISS Connor McNeil!(He may be gorgeous but she's the only hasn't snogged at school! Jenna's summer is also to find reasons not to fall in love with Dr Ryan McKinley. She has been divorced for a year, she has daughter to care for and he might break her heart...well, the reasons she has listed above are hard to flllow...:) a nice story to read! :) Another book: " The Vintage Teacup Club"!!! nice title isn't it? that and the lovely cover attracted my attention as well as the story! Vanessa Greene (it's her first book!) transports us in a lovely and touching story between three friends who meet while they're scouting in a antique fair and all falls in love with a vintage tea set! :) That's how their friendship began! Jenny can't wait to marry Dan after years of being together, they're finally ready to tie the knot-but suddenly after years of not hearing from her, Jenny hears from the woman that can risk her happiness... While, "Maggie has finally put her broken heart behind her and has a new florishing business and her own career- until she has to confront her own past" And "Alison seems to have it all, she has married her childhood sweetheart and has two lovely teenage daugthers. But as tensions mount, she is pushed to her breaking point" Don't worry, every heroine has her happy ending! A really good book, was happy to discover it! Can't wait for the next one! :) A nice friendship story ad well, making you realize that close friends can't be replaced! :) It's precious! :) The following book (I'm going to be quick for the last few books, I'm beginning to be hungry lol^^) is: "P.s= I'm Pregnant" by Heidi Rice. Two friends. If her landlady cat's hadn't been missing and if she hadn't gone in search of the cat, Daisy Dean wouldn't have been caught by her new neighbor Connor Brody in his garden, sneaking around at night in her underwear...But even if he isn't pleased with the intrusion, Connor has a business deal which is about to fall through just because the wife of a US investor fancies him...^^he invites her to follow him for 2 weeks in NYC...what can happened? A nice story! :) Meanwhile, as Daisy's friends, Juno has heard enough of Connor's brother and famous hollywood actor Mac Brody, who has also a shocking reputation. And when he turns up unexpectedly at a wedding, Juno's plan not to fall for him are put in danger...as she finds herself suddenly in front of every newspaper! and of course the only place to hide for a while is Mac's house in LA! :) Let you guess whar follows! A nice story as well! :) To finish this new bookholic (sorry again in advance if there is some words mispelled or missing or any other mistakes made, as I bet most articles are probably full^^ I normally try to re-read myself but somestimes it's hard and I can forget...so hope it's still readable...^^:), I've re-read "Thanks for the memories" by Cecelia Ahern (who you must know by now; and an author I quite love, she's always surprising you, transporting in worlds you can't imagine existed! You never know what to expect and it's quite good! :) Joyce Conway receives a blood transfusion while at hospital as she had sadly lost her baby :( and suddenly strange things are happening...she has knowledge of things she couldn't possibly imagine she had, speak fluently language she didn't know she could speak and dreams of a litte blond girl she has never dreamed of before...so what's happening and why has she all this memories? Around the same time, Justin Hitchcock has donated his blood...! :) I'll let you imagine and guess what's the connection! A really good story! If you like this author: you'll also like: 'if you could see me now', 'the time of my life (published last year), and the most recent one (that I've not read yet but has just come out: "One hundred names", can't wait to read it! Will tell you that in the next bookholic, I hope! And books where stories takes place in the 19th century with duke, earl and vicount..fun and easy to read! Here is a few title: " One dance with a duke", "Twice tempted by a rogue", " Three nights with a scoundrel" - a trilogy by Tessa Dare. Also, " Seducing the Heiress", "Never trust a rogue" and "Scandal of the year" (that i'm reading at the moment); another fun trilogy by Olivia Drake. Also, just to this time, really close this article before I faint from hungriness (lol), the last J.K Rowling (as must have heard) has come out.."the casual vacancy" following the events in small town, where everyone knows everyone- after Barry Fairbrother has suddenly passed aaway- we follow the reactions of the people who were friends with him and the one who didn't like him...I've begun to read it but to be truthful with you, it's a little hard and I'm taking my time to read it-reading other books in between; I know it's different from the Harry Potter and it's normal...but I'm sometimes a bit stuck, I hope to find the time to finish it...we'll see, keep you posted! :) let's see where it goes! and one last thoughts...what's the bid deal with the last book frenzie around the erotic fiction which has recently came out and everybody seems to talk about (even a movie might be made...) called Fifty shades of Grey (and two others books as part of a trilogy)? I don't really understand it...as I've noticed that similar books, just like this one have suddenly come out of nowhere surfing under the same wave...weird! :) lol critics seems to be also divided (as usual) between the fans and the others who doesn't like it...saying it's not really good nd it's not well-written...can't tell you much, as I don't think I'll read them, I'm not tempted at the moment...I was just curious about the big buzz it has created, and wanted to share it with you! :) So, this time I think I'm really going or else I'm really going to faint! ^^ lol I'm quite hungry as I must have told you many times by now...(sorry for the mistakes due to the fact that I'm having hard time to concentrate^^) :) Anyway, have a lovely week-end and see you soon for another article! take care, xxxx :) P.s= stupid question^^: can someone, tell me (if you know of course) what breeches are? can't seem to find a good translation. :) xxx
