Bisty Bait and BBQ

Bitsy's Bait & BBQ by Pamela Morsi
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Well, I guess reading the fine print is really something we all should do. Buying a B&B should be something exciting and full of promise, but not for these ladies. Not realizing that their sight unseen B&B, is actually a Bait and BBQ, do they realize the challenges that lie ahead for them.

The 2 sisters, Emma and Katy are learning about family and the ties that bind them together as they struggle to run a business.

A year on Ladybug Farm

A Year on Ladybug Farm by Donna Ball
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love getting wrapped up in a good book that I cannot put down, well this is one of them.

The story of a Year on Ladybug Farm was a quick read with a few surprises that I didn't see coming. The intertwined lives of Cici, Bridget and Lindsay all come together as one on Ladybug Farm. A hatched plan of dreams and ambition keep them together in their 1st year on the farm. Their relationships with each other are tested to the limit when everything that could go wrong, likely does. I felt sorry for them and want to go help them out!

The three women all friends, couldn't be more opposite in terms of their personalities and passions. Life has handed them all their fair share of heartbreak and struggle.

I'd definitely recommend this book for women, dreamers and those seeking something unusual.

The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So I couldn't sleep the other night and I realized that I had this book on my Kindle and I hadn't read it yet! First off, let me say, I couldn't put it down! I read the entire book in one sitting, minus one bathroom break!

While I know that this book was intended for young adults, I thought it was just brilliant. I had a hard time at first imagining a futuristic world, but then it all came together. The storyline of the background of the Hunger Games is very disturbing to me, but then I had to remember, this is just fictional.

Katniss had just the amount of spunk, arrogance, bravery and sulking teenager in her to make you love her character and feel bad for her at the same time. I always enjoying reading a story about the underdog and the trials they have to endure and this book fits that to a T.

This is definitely a quick and good read and I recommend it to anyone looking to escape for a few hours.
