This was a sweet and funny story of a 75 year old woman who wished to be 29 again just for one day. I'm 34 so in a way I can relate about regrets and wishing to go back and change some of the mistakes I made, but no one serious thinks this will happen from a birthday wish. But it does for Ellie Jerome.

I felt an affinity for the character since I have tendency to be a little neurotic to. I think everybody has their own neurosis. She goes beyond the norm though sometimes. It's sort of funny seeing things the way she sees them. I liked the overall story and the romance is good too.

This was a cute and funny story of a Plain Jane, Tracy, having fantasies about the romance cover model, Hale. Tracy gets her hands on her Grandmother's Girdle, which she thinks gives her a boost of confidence, instead it acts out her desires. Hale is a superhero who is sent on a mission to get the Girdle to avoid the bad guys from getting it and thus causing world domination. This is a good and funny love story.

I love the diversity of the characters. I also was dying to know who the ringleader (sorta kinda anyway) was. Another great read in the series.

I love the dark hunter series. I liked hearing more about Aimee and also Fang. The last time I read about Fang, he came across as a wuss. He's not that way at all in this book. It was another good read for me.

This is a dark and tragic book. It had a flat ending. I wish I could press rewind and not have read it.

It was an intense and gripping read. I felt for the kids who had psychic abilities. It was as good as the the first in the series, Blood Dreams.

This was a touching story, but it was a sad one. It made me see the way things were for Germans during the persecution of the Jewish community.

This is a good book, but it's more for the younger generation. It's about a 15-year-old girl who travels to another time to 1895.

It was an interesting read, but a couple of the stories bored me. I liked the fact that the shop actually exists. Some of the stories felt for real though.

This a sweet story to read for Christmas. It's about a man who makes a promise to his dying father to take a train ride cross country. He does this and much more during Christmas. It's very uplifting and dare I say it but magical as well.
