Not my Type by Melanie Jacobson

This book was a second for  me by this author and just like her first book I loved it.  This author is amazingly funny, I loved her chracters and story line.  This was such a funny book, whilst reading this book I was very busy but I made time to finish this book, I picked it up every spare moment I had and stayed up late at night so I could see what would happen at the end.  This book lightened each day for me, with the funny quirkyness.  The main character was amazing.  This book is about a girl who after a failed engagement moves home with her family to pay off debts.  She has to share a room with her 7 year old sister and strawberry shortcake!!  She is fed up of her job and wants to desperately be a writer.  She gets a job in a small magazine doing cover stories.  This was a great book I gave it 5 stars and I read this book in November 2011.

Ice Baron by Jennette Green

This book has a ver different setting to most books I read, the author brings you into the story and she sets the book in the 31st Century.  This immediately drew me in as a reader.  I wish the author had gone into greater detail to explain more of the future she had the book set in.  The flow of the story was amazing, the charcters were likeable, I felt that the Hero should have had more depth.  Anya had loved Josh for years, but as her Protector the love is forbidden.  For Josh this doesn't seem to be a problem as he tries to marry her to a Baron in order to have peace between the two kingdoms.  I read this book in August 2011 and like I said enjoyed reading it.  The author is very gifted and I have now read quite alot of her books.  I gave this book 4 stars.

Wind Dancer by Jamie Carie

Isabelle is a free spirit, unlike most women.  She takes on a journey to travel to collect some books for her church.  Her mother agrees to the journey as long as she takes a tour guide and her brother with her.  Whilst travelling to obtain the books she meet Samuel, he tags along with them as they are going to the same place, when the tour guide goes missing, they are attached by Indians and held prisoner.  She is forced to watch as they kill her brother, in order to stay alive she must act as they do.  This is hard as she is wild and likes to be free, she tests her boundaries, she refuses to conform.  This book is interesting, not a favorite book of mine, I wonder about the portrayal of the Indians, not sure if they would act as the book says they do.  I did find her intriguing, I expected more from the book.  I read this book in June and I gave it 3 stars.
