About Me

My blog will consist mostly of book reviews and maybe some other book related stuff! My passion right now is romance, YA, NA, suspense, but who knows what will pop up! Reviews will include the great ones that I fell in love with, the bad ones that I couldn’t finish & the ones I “had” to finish because I was told to “give it a chance”!! These are my opinions & only mine & I will be honest no matter what! I do not mean to offend anyone & certainly feel free to comment or give me feedback, but this is my point of view and who knows, you might even find a good read!

Welcome to My Book Therapy!

WATER FOR ELEPHANTS -- by Sara Gruen

It's been a long time since I read this book but this is one of my all-time favorite books (yes, your going to hear that a lot from me LOL!), I wanted to review this one next.

Water for Elephants

5 STARS

I remember it had been a long while since I had picked up a book.  I was engrossed in James Patterson books and I had never read anything like it but a friend recommended it and I read the outstanding reviews so I thought I would take a chance.  So glad I did!  One of my favorite books of all time!!  I love Sara Gruen's writing style and her story kept me interested the whole way. I fell in love with Jacob from the very beginning. I loved how his friendships developed and felt his pain from the time his parents died to when his growing forbidden love for Marlena grew. It ended beautifully and as expected, but was so into the story as it didn't feel predictable.  

A short review but I think that says it all.  Don't want to give anything away.  Just know it's a fantastic book and MUCH, MUCH better than the movie (which I loved and own the DVD :) (although isn't it always?!)
