Finding Jo! By: Frances Ive!

Thank you to the publisher for sending me this book to read and review. This was the best new novel to read. If you liked Eat, Pray, Love then you will enjoy this. Jo leaves to go to a meditation place in India. She didn’t tell any of her family and also her ex boyfriend who still loves her. The book goes along with Jo and her living in India. All of the things that she gets to do and the people she meets while there. But, this book is much more bc it talks about her whole family as well. Once Jo leaves, her mother says outkoud the family secret, and she has the courage to move to Africa. Jo’s sister works on herself as well. Her brother even goes to India in order to decide what to do with his own family. All is resolved in the end, or as best as can be. Such a wonderful book that I would recommend to anyone.

86. Triple chocolate cheesecake murder By: Joanne Fluke.

This was the first book by the author that I read. Throughout there were about 20 or more recipes, talking about the bakery that the characters were making. A murder does happen. But more importantly, I feel like everyone in the whole book had dinner parties with China platters, wine and champagne, and detailed desserts. Throughout, it really talked about what they were bringing for a dinner to eat or drink. You do at the end, like in the last 2 pages, find out who the murderer is. I don’t think that I will read another one of her books.

85. Big girl panties By: Stephanie Evanovich

I don’t know what to say about this book. Yes, I did stay up until I finish the whole book. If you liked Bridget Jones Diary or Jemima J, you may really enjoy this one. One thing right out the gate was explicit sex scenes, not even with the main characters.

Holly is a young widow that has let herself go. When she goes on a plane she sits beside the most gorgeous personal trainer. When he asks her to train her, things get going. He gives her the sterness and kindness that she needs to begin to work out and slowly lose weight. Will they become more than friends? What will happen when she begins to go with him and friends and doesn’t feel glamorous like the others? I still don’t know how I feel about the book. Parts I really enjoyed but others I did not.
