All of Me

All of Me by Kelly Moran is the second book in the Covington Cove series and it can also be read as a stand-alone. This was such a great book. I was hooked from the first page. The characters are so well written, they feel like friends. I didn't want to put it down. This is Alec and Faith's story and I found both to be very likable characters. I really wanted them to get together and live happily ever after. Of course there is some baggage from the past that gets in the way. It was a fun, emotional ride to see if they could overcome the obstacles in their way. *JK*

Movin' Along

Lisa Scottoline and her daughter Francesca team up again to write about life, happiness, dating and loss. You’ll laugh, nod, cry and even shout in agreement when you pick up Does This Beach Make Me Look Fat?  by the tag-team duo. Francesca is 28, living in Manhattan, and trying to make it as a writer. Lisa is the author of 24 novels and 6 humorous memoirs. Although both were deeply affected by the loss of beloved “Mother Mary” Lisa’s irreverent, out-spoken mother, they carry on with grace, humor and the awful truth (as they see it) in everyday living. The book is both entertaining and insightful. DB
