The Good Girl

The Good Girl by Mary Kubica This book was recommended to me by a very close friend that loved the book. It is out side my normal reads but I enjoyed every part of this book. The main character is Mia Dennett she comes from a well respected family, with money to spare. when her boyfriend leaves her hanging she angary decides that she was to go home with the hansom guy at the bar Colin Thatcher. This decision changes her life from this point on. one wrong guy one bad decision leads her on a life changing course. what was intended to be a one night stand turns into a kidnapping gone bad. Mia was taken from her family leaving them in despair and angry. Mia's mother is doing everything she can to find her daughter but her father the Judge of the city is not all that worried. It was as though he knew she was dead or that he knew that there was no point in looking for his astray daughter. Colin decides on a whim not to deliver Mia to the abductors and instead finds feelings for the young school teacher. he whisks her a way to a wooded Minnesota cabin forced to live off of nothing for months. Mia starts to understand that Colin was saving her and that he is not her abductor. mean while the search for her with detective Gabe Hoffman and her mother start to turn into a romance. Her mother find comfort in the detective as her husband is cold and unimpressed by Mia's disappearance. leaving the detective very interested in why. what is the judge hiding and where is Mia. Who is Colin Thatcher? and most of all for months Mia had time to run ... but Why didn't she? I wont ruin the ending because this is a mystery page turner.

COMICS MAKING A COME BACK

Recently I read the first two comic of the book Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief comic. I absolutely loved it! I haven't read comics in quite some time, probably since I was a teenager and it was an Archie "Betty" comic fro fun. Now I am noticing that a lot of popular authors are doing this such as my all time favorite Lunar Chronicles. It is exciting to me because Doing this allows the reader another chance to get caught up in the characters once again, and the fantasy of that place. Giving an actual visual and then I went back and re read the books and found that my mind made the connection of what they looked like and it was all exciting again to read! Sooo yeeh for comics!!!

The book that made you so emotional

What makes a book good? This is on my mind a lot ! What draws a reader in to loving a book. I have come up with this the characters have to be lovable. Second I look back at the books I fell in love with and what made me fall for them. I remember one book specifically "Suzann's Diary for Nicholas" by James Patterson. I was in my early twentys back when borders was still around. My relationship status well it wasn't a great relationship at the time. But the book was about girl that fell in love with a man that lost his family in a car accident, except he didn't tell her about the car accident or that he had a one year old that died. he wasn't fully over his family, and she was heads over heels for him. He keeps Leeding her on and ditching her at times with no reasoning. I won't give away the books ending but, James Patterson is known for his mystery's and for a love story with a twist of mystery to it ... This was one of my favorite books. I remember sitting for hours reading this book at the end of it I was crying ... It was close to 10 pm and I cried so hard learning the end of the story. I guess I was trying to relate my own bad relationship to the charters in the book, hoping that maybe there was reasoning to my own relationship at the time. That book made me keep reading trying to find my perfect love. Until I did.
