New York Valentine by Carmen Reid

This isn't a book selected by my book club but I read it so I shall give it a little review. I finished this book in no time at all. It is the second book I have read by Carmen Reid in the Valentine series. The first the book prior to this one, Celebrity Shopper which I know isn't the first in the series but my sister got it for me.
The book is set mainly in NY City (the one place in the world I am itching to go to) so from an instant I knew this book was going to be a hit with me.
Annie Valentine (the main character) takes us on her visit to NY where she has gone on business (or a jolly!) to help a friend. The book is full of laughs, sorrows and 'isn't life great' moments.
Recommended for: I recommend this book for people who enjoy shopping, fashion, NY, want to go to NY and girls/ladies/females.
Score: 8/10

The Rats by James Herbert

I have to say I was not looking forward to reading this book. It was the choice of my younger sister and as a member of the club I had to read it. Once I got past the first two chapters that were a little disturbing I quite enjoyed the story. The book makes you think about what is out there and how individuals (in this case Harris) can make a difference.
Recommended for: people who like rats, those who aren't scared by much...
Score: 6/10

It does what is says on the tin except ... when I refer to girls I am referring to myself and four good friends who have formed a book club (the youngest being 23 and the oldest in her mid thirties).

This blog is to record our likes and dislikes about books we have read. The book club has been running for 12 months now and each meeting has been as pleasing as the last. Join us as we marvel through pages of books and discuss.
