Holy Crappers I need to post a review

Well here are 2 mini reviews and hopefully more full reviews are to come!

~ The Help by Kathryn Stockett
I have to admit the only reason I even read this book was due to the movie. So the entire time I was reading this book I was picturing what the actors and actresses were doing... not a fair judge but not bad either.
The book pretty much fits in with the movie, lines are the same the plot didn't change. The only major differences I saw was the little girl May Mobby she is abused physically and well just over all ignored a lot more than the movie let on to. Otherwise in general the movie did a REALLY good job of showing the book. I did like this book and it is was I will more than likely re-read. I also highly enjoyed the movie both are worth the money and the time spent watching and enjoying.

~ Stargate Atlantis: The Chosen by Sonny Whitelaw WOW so if I were to suggest a book out of this series so far it would be this one. Yes I know I told you that book 2 was done by an author I adore and it was okay I promise. But, this book, this book KICKED BUTT on action, inner dialogue, getting to know the characters better, and OMG I got so much Sheppard and McKay I'm a happy girl. LOVED THIS ONE. Now keep in mind this author had about half of season 1 to learn all the different thought and actions of the team but, wow. Good job Sonny Whitelaw you have restored my faith in this series and I am for sure buying any and all of them. Plus I am going to have to check out other books you have written because you blew it out of the water for me and this series. New fangirl has been found. Man I wish they would make this book into a show that would've TOTALLY rocked!!!!

Quick Mini Reviews

B/c I am very, very far behind LOL

2011 book catch ups

A Wallflower Christmas by Lisa Klepas
I have to say as a HUGE fan of the Wallflower series I was slightly disappointed but at the same time still truly enjoyed it. I was SUPER happy to see the original wallflowers and how happy they still were in their HEA. I enjoyed that some of the wallflowers were having issues not major ones granted but still having basic issues that all married couples face.
I did enjoy the new face to the wallflowers and the help the girls gave. And let's be real it's Lisa Kleypas so um yeah the romance was good, sweet and lovely. The part that I was disappointed in was the length. I would have enjoyed a much larger book but that's just a personal thing ;-)

Divergent by Veronica Roth
This book was totally different then what I would normally read and I have to say that I am thrilled I picked it up. First off it reminds me a little of Matched by Ally Cody? Without the love story. This time our main character has to pick what society she will live in. From there we learn what Divergent means, which clan is chosen, we get a rough life, conspiracy, and a hint of a love story.
Can I just say WOW I am totally blown away by this book and TOTALLY upset that I finished it so fast and just in time for the next one to come out right when school started back up again. Dang it no chance to read the next one and I have to say she left it on a hell of a cliff hanger.
For sure a book that I not only love but had to buy and am dying to read the next one.
