Kiss What to Expect

Kiss by Ted Dekker and Erin Healy

Kiss Review

I finished the book Kiss by Ted Dekker and Erin Healey late last night so that is why I am doing the review now. This book was actually pretty good but not as good as some others I have read from mr. Dekker. It is about a woman, shauna who is charged for the near death of her beloved brother and the worst part is that she can't remember anything that happened that night and what makes matters worse is that her and her father who is running for the preisdency isn't on very good ground and it follows her trying to get her life back but in the wake of it she finds this whole political money scandal and it just goes deeper and deeper and when she meets people she can steal their memories by either touching them or kissing them. It would make a good movie and I thought it was pretty good so I am going to give it ****stars.

Norman Ollestad's CRAZY FOR THE STORM: A Memoir of Survival

Shutter Island review

First of all I give this book *****stars because it followed the movie or I shouldd say the movie followed the book.  I was amazed at how everything that was in the book was in the movie even the description.  I saw the movie first so I knew what was going to happen but I still loved this book.  If you have seen the movie then you know what it is about but if you haven't you will just have to read it for yourself.

Another intersting article

 This is a article from Books on Board and it talks about how the prices of some books may go up in price starting in April.

Drastic eBook Price Change Coming Next Week

Last Chance to Get Discounted Prices on Many of our Titles

In an unexpected move, 5 of the industry’s top publishers have advised us in the last week that they are imposing a Required Ebook Pricing model on all ebook stores as of April 1. This is not an April Fool’s joke, but a significant price increase on many of our popular ebooks. In order to keep offering these titles, we are required to comply. These publishers are the following and all their imprints (full list agency pricing ebook imprints here):

• Hachette (publisher of Stephanie Meyer, David Baldacci, James Patterson and more),
