Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet

Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet
I really enjoyed this book, it wasn't the kind that you just couldn't put down but it did have a fantastic story line. The only disappointment that I had was that I wanted it to continue, it just stopped and I wanted more details. Which if you know me I'm a snoopy person and want the good parts to give me lots of details about the future and things like that. I think that's why I love epiloges ( can't spell very well) they just give me that little bit of after the ending!
Anyways, This book is set during WW2 also but this is about a Chinese boy in Seatle that falls in love with a Japanese Girl. It's just such a sweet story! You have to read it~

Also, I need suggestions on good books, leave me comments so I can read more of what you love!

Hattie Big Sky

Hattie Big Sky
I borrowed this book from a friend who hadn't read it yet. I thought it was ok. Easy reading but I was a little disappointed with the ending, and it was kind of a slower read, I guess the good thing is it didn't keep me up at night reading. Based back in the early 1900 during the first world war although it doesn't talk terribly alot about it so don't let that hold you back if you don't like those type of books.

The Book Thief

The Book Thief
Wow! I love books about WW2 but this one was really interesting. It started out really different and so I told myself to keep going and after a couple chapters I really started to enjoy it! You instantly fall in love with the gilr in it, it breaks your heart to hear about all the trials that she goes through during the war. The writing in this book is super different as well but overall I ranked it as one of my favorite books written. So if you love WW2 books I highly recommend it!

The Help

The Help

Loved this book, kind of long but the story is so amazing.

Based back in the 1960's its about the african american women in jackson city, missiouri! How they were maids to white familes and raised there children but we treated so poorly. I love how she uses more than on main character in the book. I got to listen to this one on my mp3 player which was so cool because they had different people read the voices for the different characters. Anyways, this is truly a great book about the culture and atmosphere of what happened in the south. It's a must read!

Children of the Promise

Children of the Promise, Vol. 1: Rumors of War
I don't know if you have had the oppurtunity to read this series or not, but all I can say is WOW!!! I love stories that are fictional but have some truth to them. I feel like i'm learning a little as well as enjoying a really good novel. I love books during WW2 times and this one just hit really close to home with Quinn being in Afganistan right now fighting. I can't believe the things people went through back then, the communication alone would drive me nuts. I'm so thankful I can talk to Quinn so much easier than they had did.

This book not only looks at the aspect from the US but also from Germany, your feelings will change about things that happened and your eyes will be completely opened about issues in the war that happened. So a great series to read, romance, history and war. Gotta love it!

Safe Haven

Safe Haven
If you don't know already, I love Nicholas Sparks! I know some of his books are kind of bittersweet but recently they haven't been that way! This is his newest novel and I have to say it was good but not my favorite.

It was a little more what's the word I'm looking for?? vugal?I don't know how to put it but the overall story line was awesome! I love how he just catches you from the start and then you hooked! There is some sex in it that I wasn't overly happy about but I also felt like it had to be there to get the point of this girls life across!

Let me know what you think!
