"Belong To Me" by Marisa de los Santos


Another of what I call chick lit...not sexy as such, but a relationship book. Not the best I have ever read, but worth the time.

The cover of this book is fabulous...to me. Three sets of Wellies (boots) on a doorstep. The story revolves around a group of friends and acquaintances in a neighborhood and environs. The story has tragedy and sadness, several surprises and one Big (rather unbelievable ) surprise and a rather overused story line. But several of the characters are wonderful men and women and make this story work.

This is not a book I would recommend to you if you are looking for a happy, mellow book. It is pretty intense in parts, but compelling.

Some of My Favorite Recently read books

  • The Cedar Cove series by Debbie Macomber. This series has 6 books in it currently. They explore the lives and times of the residents of Cedar Cove, Washington. The characters in this series are fun because they are so varied. I will admit, I would like to know about some of them. They are old and young, rich and poor, happy and struggling. They do all connect together and they all appear in each book, along with new characters all the time. The books are quick reads. I was very sad when they were done. I cant wait for the next installment of this series to come out in Sept. 2007. Visit Debbies Cedar Cove website for more and pic :http://www.debbiemacomber.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=page&pageID=6
