Deeper
by Megan HartPaperback: 400 pages
Publisher: Spice (July 1, 2009)
ISBN-13: 9780373605323
Genre: Erotica
Source: Borrowed from a friend
Rating: 3.5/5
I don't usually read erotica so I didn't know quite what to expect with this book. It was a little tamer than I thought it would be but the storyline was decent. I could see myself picking up another one of Hart's books if I just wanted something different to read. I also read this one on a Kindle which was a fun change.
Blue Heaven

Publisher: Minotaur Books (June 23, 2009)

Genre: Mystery/Thriller
Source: Library, Audio
Rating: 2.5/5
Blue Heaven started out promising, but kind of fizzled by the end. I expected a little more from the story, but it wasn't bad. There were a few times I found myself rolling my eyes at the dialogue and a I found a couple of the narrators voices terribly annoying.

I'd heard great things about Gaiman, but hadn't had the chance to read him before. I really enjoyed this audio though. The story was a little predictable, but not to the point of being boring. What I enjoyed most though was Gaiman's narration. His voice was smooth and the inflections perfect. I'll listen to another one of his books for that fact alone.

I like this idea. I don't always have the energy to write full reviews or really that much to say about some books.
It is so easy to get behind on the reviews! I think these quick ones tell us enough to know whether we want to know more!
Great round up of reviews - this is a great idea. I keep hearing about Neil Gaiman and have one of his books on my wishlist to try out. :)
Neil Gaiman is one of my favorite narrators. You should listen to him narrate his book called "The Graveyard Book". It is most excellent!
I loved Coraline - you need to see the movie, if you haven't already.
I really like this feature, and am thinking about something like this for my blog. Sometimes a book just doesn't inspire a lot of thought and feeling from me, and this format would be great for those occasions. I also liked Coraline and agree with the above poster that you should see the movie, if you haven't already.
I usually read CJ Box, but passed on this one for some reason. I'm guessing I did not miss much :) Trying to be more selective with so many books out there.
Your blog has the most perfect title!
I am new to your blog, but I wanted to tell you that I enjoy your brief reviews. Sometimes, I know my reviews are a bit too long, and that people don't have time to read them for that very reason. But sometimes I keep them short and sweet as well. :)
