sammy’s hill — kristin gore

Saman­tha Joyce works at The Hill and she is good at her job as polit­i­cal aid for Sen­a­tor Robert Gary: pro­fes­sional, hard work­ing and on top of every­thing. Wouldn’t it be great to have the same in her per­sonal life. Unfor­tu­nately she doesn’t. She has a pet fish who tries to com­mit sui­cide every time he gets, her apart­ment is a mess and she is in des­per­ate need of some hugs and kisses from the male species.
And in comes Aaron. Cocky to be sure, but also very hand­some and male. Sam falls for him imme­di­ately, even though he is work­ing as speech­writer for the oppo­si­tion. A minor fault in an oth­er­wise flaw­less man. Happy times all around!
And in comes Char­lie: the hor­ri­ble (and oh yeah, cute)  reporter who exploited her use of her Black­berry for his arti­cle.
Just when all the roles seem to be set and Sammy is hap­pily jug­gling all the balls of life in the air, there has to be a dis­tur­bance. And there is…

it had to be you — sarah webb

Three women, Molly, Paige and Kate, all have some goals they still haven’t reached. So although they are con­tent with their lives some things are miss­ing. For Molly and Kate a reli­able male mate is miss­ing and Paige wants to be a deputy. When all the goals are in hands reach it all seems so easy to grab it all, but espe­cially then life gets more and more dif­fi­cult. All three women have to look at them­selves (and their pasts) to get noticed by the oth­ers. A harsh but nec­es­sary task if they want true hap­pi­ness and a full life.

2009 in books

I just fin­ished my first book for 2010 and realised I didn’t post my read book of 2009. Although I didn’t read that much, I picked good ones. Not all, of course, that would be inhu­man but still.…I did good overall.
