The Outlander - Gil Adamson

One of the weirdest novels I have ever read. I kept on waiting and waiting and waiting for something to happen but alas nothing exciting happens :(

Was so disappointed with the storyline. It is basically about a lady who kills her husband and who is now running away from her two brothers-in-law who are twins :)

She meets various characters on the way and that is how the story enfolds. I was very much disappointed with this novel. Probably the author meant for the book to be that way :)

At times, I wonder if the lady is insane or sane. No idea and I still have no idea even after reading the entire novel.

If someone could explain the objective of this novel to me, it would be great :)

Note : Checked for the meaning of the word "Outlander". Here is what I found - a person who comes from a foreign country; someone who does not owe allegiance to your country

The Wedding - Nicholas Sparks

I wanted to read this book after hearing so much about the movie "The Notebook" which was based on his book. I have always seen bits and pieces of "The Notebook" but never as such sat down and seen the entire movie :))) I know that "U, Me Aur Hum" movie was based on this book. And that movie touched me so much. Another plus point was that the movie had my favorite heroine in it after such a long time :))) hehehhehe Just love that movie.

Now about this book, it is so delightful. I just loved it. It touched the bottom of my heart :) It's a light romantic novel about a husband who forgets his wedding anniversary and how he wins his wife all over again with the help of his kids hehehhe

Simply superb! Would definitely recommend it for an afternoon read :)

Two Little Lies - Liz Carlyle

:) Actually I am a big fan of romance novels. God alone knows why :))) I have been reading them from a long time even though I know it is not worth it. I just like it. This is one of them.

It starts out with an affair between an opera singer and a Lord of some place. Then the lady leaves without telling him why she left and then they come together

All in all , it's a good romance novel. No complications and there are some suspense things. But it's cute!

A nice timepass for a long boring evening. I read this book while waiting for a flight and time literally flew :)))

The Abstinence Teacher - Tom Perrotta

From the title of the book and the way it starts out, it literally gives me a scare about what is happening in that book :) But it turns out for the better as it progresses in the story. I liked the story but I don't agree as such with everything in the book.

It talks about a sex - education teacher whose thoughts are that kids should know how to use a condom and blah blah and it sort of encourages sex while at a young age. I am not for that. I agree that we should be educated but we should know that it should be abstained until marriage. But it was a lovely book and I enjoyed reading it.

The funny thing right now is that one of my friends wanted to learn sketching and the cover of this book has two birds and few bees on it. I also want to learn how to sketch it :)) Probably will sketch it someday and post it here.

Remembering Sarah - Chris Mooney

This is a good mystery book about the murders of three young girls. It is about priest, abortions and how our beliefs lead us to do many things.

The suspense is kept till the very end. I really enjoyed this book. It talks about the emotions of a father who feels responsible for the death of his child, about a son who feels unloved by his father, about a husband who is unable to connect with his wife.

Talks about the wife who is hiding a secret and many other smaller stories entwined in this.
A must-read in the section of mystery novels.

The Secret Life of Bees - Sue Monk Kidd

This was a wonderful book that I read. It has also been released into a movie. I have not seen the movie yet but found the book very delightful. It talks about a white girl and a black worker who leave the girl's home in search of her mother. They land up in a town and find three sisters ( all black) who make honey.

The label on the honey bottle is of Our Lady but as being black. She is called the Black Madonna or Lady of Chains. There is a story associated with this and I wont let that story out. Read the book to find out.

Really a good book with great insight into bee-keeping :)

Goodbye and Amen - Beth Gutcheon

Hmm this book was a bit weird in the way that it is written from different people's perspectives. So at one point in time I got confused who was related to whom and in what way are they talking.

It is mainly about a family whose mother and father have passed away and about a cottage "Leeway Cottage" that is left to them. There are three sisters and one brother who are all married and have kids and how life passes on for them with various misunderstandings and surprises.

I expected more from this book but was just satisfied with it. Wasnt a very memorable book for me.
