Book Review - Short Stories

I read a couple of short stories earlier this summer that I thought I would mention. If any of my other kindle reading friends were interested since I spend a whopping total of $0.99 cents on all three stories. Big spender I know. All three were cute and kept my interest. To me during the summer time (or really anytime) when there's no shows on tv and just bad reruns or awful reality tv shows on I would much rather curl up with a book, even if it is just some cheesy short story which is what these three were, but it passed the time.

Lucy Wagner Gets in Shape - Lucy Wagner's ready for the future-her career's on track, and her relationship with Paul, her pediatrician boyfriend, seems headed for the alter. But when Paul reveals his infidelity, Lucy must pick up the pieces of her love life. Will training for an Extreme Adventure Race with her best friends Jen and Will help her rediscover her confidence? Or will she fall short of the finish line? (177 pages) ($0.99)

This book is apparently the first in a series. I'd read the next one for a dollar too, why not. It was cute, extremely predictable, but still cute. Great for when you want a book you don't need to concentrate or think about.

Sparks Fly - Angelina Morgan is a beautiful consultant who practices an ancient art form called Feng Shui. Will Scott is an all-business CEO who doesn't believe anything he can't see and touch. With the help of a meddling ex-wife, a well-meaning best friend, and a matchmaking mother, Angelina and Will are about to find out what happens when opposites attract...and sparks fly. (117 pages) ($0.00) ($1.99)

It wasn't anything overly special or memorable but again same as the other book, cute, predictable, and when you don't want a heavy read, just something to pass the time. Since when I downloaded it, it was free, I won't complain, I don't know I'd go rushing out to spend the $2 on it but if it comes up for free again it's worth a read.

The Diary of Darcy J Rhone - In anticipation of her new novel, Where We Belong, bestselling author Emily Giffin is releasing, as an all-new bonus, The Diary of Darcy J. Rhone. Filled with high school adventures of the beloved Darcy and Rachel from Something Borrowed and Something Blue, it gives readers a window into their lives before college, law school, and Dex. (75 pages) ($0.00 - Free)

If you love the book/movie Something Borrowed then this free download is for you. Unfortunately for me, Darcy is not my favorite character in the world and this short story didn't do much for me. I still read it none the less....
