ImPERFECT JUSTICE PROSECUTING CASEY ANTHONY

Imperfect Justice
Prosecuting Casey Anthony
Jeff Ashton with Lisa Pulitzer
I will admit that I have been obsessed with this case. This book is told from prosecuting attorney, Jeff Ashton's, point of view.
Much of what I read I remembered from watching the trial on TV. Jeff made several movie references in regards to Jose Baez's actions which made my laugh. Like: "Oozing charm from every pore/He oiled his way across the floor." I too felt like Jose was kind of a slime ball. I still was surprised to read of some of his antics. You could say there was no love lost between the two of them. I enjoyed this book and now I am going to read Jose Baez's book Presumed Guilty. I am anxious to read his side of the story.

I would rate this book ****

Spackled and Spooked


Spackled and Spooked
Jennie Bentley

I cannot believe I started reading this book in January and just now finished. Thats how busy life has been lately.

I did enjoy the book. I love mysteries and I love decorating so it was fun to read. IMO, not a heavy mystery but still interesting.

The author even added some decorating tips at the end. I liked that.

Secrets of a Shoe Addict




Secrets of a Shoe Addict
Beth Harbison


I loved this book. I really could relate to some of the women and their experiences. The blind date with the "puppet" had me rolling on the floor.
I am a self proclaimed shoe addict myself but was pleasantly surprised that most of the story line had nothing to do with shoes.


I rate this book ****

Ghost Stories of Missouri


Ghost Stories of Missouri
A.S. Mott
I was disappointed in this book. It really didnt have any "scary" stories. It was a quick read and if you dont have anything else to do it would pass on afternoon.

LA Candy


LA Candy
Lauren Conrad
For a first novel I didnt think it was too bad. However, I did find myself wanting to hurry up and get to the end. I think it would suit a younger genre much better then my own.
I will definitely pass this one on to my younger niece.
I rate this book ***

The Bell Jar



The Bell Jar
Sylvia Plath
This book haunted me a bit. I kept thinking about Sylvia's suicide. I wonder if she knew while penning each page that she would end her life. I liked how it was written in first person. I could easily follow along with her.
I rate this book ****

Fahrenheit 451

Fahrenheit 451
Ray Bradbury

This book was awesome. The full version written in 1953 showed what the future held for books in society. It was interesting to see how books were not allowed. I couldnt help but think about the "kindle" and wondered if it would someday bring an end to the paperbooks and leather bounds in our future.

I rate this book *****
