The Kari AnnAlysis

I have learned I either get a handful of books in a week or I get zilch. This week was a good week.

Contest:

I won this book over at Tea Time with Marce. I am sooo excited to read it! It sounds so cute and Marce said it was REALLY funny.

The twelve Greek gods of Olympus are alive and well in the twenty-first century, but they are crammed together in a London town house — and none too happy about it. For Artemis (goddess of hunting, professional dog walker), Aphrodite (goddess of beauty, telephone sex operator), and Apollo (god of the sun, TV psychic), there’s no way out — until a meek housecleaner, Alice, and her would-be boyfriend, Neil, turn their world upside down.

When what begins as a minor squabble between Aphrodite and Apollo escalates into an epic battle of wills, Alice and Neil must fear not only for their own lives but for the survival of humankind. Nothing less than a true act of heroism is needed — but can these two ordinary people replicate the feats of the mythical heroes and save the world?

Review:

I got the book Assembling Georgia from the Kelley and Hall Companyfor review.

Georgia Dunn, an underachieving Minneapolis chicken factory worker, is jolted out of her rut when engine parts inexplicably begin arriving in her mail. Faced with a flood of packages from an unknown sender with unfathomable motives, she must choose between her safe, tedious existence and a world of immediacy, of vulnerability and wide-open senses. But she learns that the joys and risks are not hers alone when she collides head-on with her past.

 Bought:

Well, it’s only December 6th and I’m already on my 3rd holiday book. I had only bought 5 in the first place, so I decided to go out and get another one, plus I had $5 in Borders Bucks

Snow on the roofs and wreaths on the doors and chains on the tires… isn’t Christmas in New England wonderful? But Charlotte Prescott is too busy taking in super-sexy reporter Sam Landry to notice the nip in the air. Make that the nip in the air alternating with the scorching heat that rises whenever she and Sam are alone together. Charlotte would be happy to forget the supernatural third wheel who seems to be staying for the season in the quaint old house she inherited. It is real. Someone’s slurping down all the good eggnog. And someone is drawing Charlie and Sam together under the mistletoe — not to mention everywhere else. Happy holidays!

As mom and I were Christmas shopping this weekend, I decided I’d go ahead and cash out my gift card I got as a wedding present. A couple of years ago, Michael got me one of the Private books by Kate Brian, but we didn’t realize it was in the middle of the series until I already read it. So today, I decided that would be my next series and splurged. Confessions is the book I have.
