Book reviews from participants Aug 10:
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins: This was such a FUN, action-packed book! Its good forkids and teens. The words just flowed off the page, I couldn't put it down!
Vineyard Prey by Philip Craig: Not bad-first time read of this author and I'll order his work again. Easy story, entertaining.
New Mercies by Sandra Dallas: Enjoyed this book-one of my favorite authors!
The Lion by Nelson DeMille: Lots of suspense, excellent story-hard to put down.
You couldn't ignore me if you tried by Susannah Gora: Slightly fluffy, yet fun, essays on 80's teen movies, their actors, directors, and implications on culture.
Act like a lady, think like a man by Steve Harvey: Men have to feel like they are needed. Men are trained to porvide and that's what women look for in a man. Men show love by professing, providing, and protecting you. Very good book, everyone should read.
Backseat Saints by Joshilyn Jackson: It was good, but not as enjoyable to read as other books by this author, "Gods in Alabama" and "Inbetween Georgia."
