January

In the month of January I had the opportunity to read three books.  I will post all three in this one thread but in the future each book will have it's own post. 

If you click on the books below it will lead you to B&N's website where you can read their synopsis. I would like to add that I do not in any way promote or have any affiliation with B&N.

Remember Me
Sophie Kinsella is the author of the Shopaholic series.  If you have read any of her other books you will find that for the most part they are funny, quirky and easy to read.  I would say that Remember me was a light and easy page turner. Nothing that pulled on your emotions too much -- but definitely worth a look. From the very beginning you are wondering what happened to make this character who she is today -- the change was absolutely dramatic. I can't say much else without spoilers so check it out.



Knitting Under the Influence
This was the second book that I read in January and I would say it was my least favorite.  Out of 5 stars I would have to give it a 3.  First of all - this book lacks relatabilityI could not find myself relating to any of the characters in the story which for me was disappointing. Also it was very predictable - it was not hard to figure out what the ending would be or who couples up.  It was another light & easy read - easy to get through - light on the mind - but, unfortunately, very predictable. 



I Heart New York
I will say that I Heart New York was January's book of the month.  It was the book I enjoyed the most out of the three.  I read this book while traveling to Haiti for my grandmother's funeral.  It was a welcomed get-away for my mind during such a stressful time.  I will say there were parts of the book that I found to be a bit far-fetched for me.   But overall I truly enjoyed reading it.  I give it 5 out of 5 stars, absolutely.  Again, it was a light read - just as the others from this month - but it pulls you into the main charactor's world and you find yourself wondering what happens next.
