When the Marquess Met
His Match by Laura Lee Guhrke
A wonderful take on a traditional Romance novel plot:
dedicated bachelor finds he must marry, so he finds a matchmaker to find him a
bride, he doesn’t expect to fall for the matchmaker! Still, I loved this book.
The characters felt very real, with an incredible depth. Both characters have
their flaws but you still want to root for them, especially as they start to
understand themselves and fight to change for the better. A great afternoon
read that will leave you sighing in contentment.
Paris in Love by
Eloisa James
Continuing the Romance theme, Paris in Love is the memoir of romance author Eloisa James (one of
my favorites). The memoir grew out of Facebook and Twitter posts, so the book
is mainly written in short paragraphs, interspersed with longer essays. The
posts are generally witty and made me laugh, a lot. I was reading every other
one out loud to my roommate. A great read for anyone who needs to travel by
armchair.
Divergent by Veronica
Roth
A fantastic first book! The narrator seems very real to me
and the thought processes that are so integral to making the main character
important come through loud and clear, without it feeling as though the author
is aiming to make her think differently. Yeah, that was a messy explanation,
but I have to say that this is one book that lived up to the hype.
I'm always looking for new books, so leave a recommendation! Just keep it spoiler free. ;)
