Books Jess Read in 2009! | #BookReviews @FromJesstoYouVA
If you are familiar with this website, then you'll be aware that I have had this site since 2008 but it wasn't really until the middle of 2009 that I started officially reviewing books of any kind on here. With that being said, I advance my site all the time and in doing so it takes a longer time to get it officially updated. Yes, I am a perfectionist. Anywho ... for my book reviews I have a few various locations that I have all of them sorted (I love my lists) and I started my yearly book lists in 2010. Yet as I am in the process of updating all of my lists, I have officially finished my newest list, which is this one! It is a yearly book list of all of my reviewed novels from 2009. Have you read any of these? Click the links to check out the reviews.

2020 100+ Reading Challenge
Check out my previous challenges :
So ... with this book list from book number 1 to number 19 Jess (the owner) had a computer malfunction and lost all of her ORIGINAL 2020 book reviews. Thankfully though Jess was hoping to start collecting her 2020 book stats so she had her ratings BUT after the mishap Jess gave up on collecting stats (she felt she already had enough to do). Jess'll try collecting stats again in 2021. Therefore, below is all that Jess has completed and links will be added as Jess goes along and officially posts the reviews that she does have. Thanks for your patience. CLICK HERE to find out more about this catastrophe.
Here's my (Jess') personal challenge .. or more of a record of how many books I have read in 2020 ::
* If you would like to know what Jess thinks about the books she didn't share her ratings or reviews with you about, than leave a comment about which one you want info on and she'll get back to you as soon as she can.

Come on home, So come on home, But don't forget to leave
A reckless-creative-entrepreneur and a ditsy-opinionated-free-spirit join forces to make "Stupid and Contagious" by Caprice Crane a must read!! It's about Heaven and Brady. Heaven has just lost her PR job (because of her bosses mistake), and is now a waitress in a trendy restaurant in New York. Even though to say it was her calling would be laughable. Brady just moved into the apt next to Heaven's. He's in music producer in an agency that's struggling to remain, which he and his friend created, until they find a group to get them their 'next big break'. Brady also likes to come up with new inventions/ideas but rarely tries to create them. His latest creation is Cinnamilk (Cinnamon-flavored milk) .... now he just needs to find a buyer. Can these two make it as friends, let alone neighbors?I hope I described it right .... it's early and I'm still waking up .... anyway ....
I HIGHLY recommend everyone to read this book. Funny, entertaining, and a page-turner are the easiest words to describe it. =0) 4 out of 5 stars!!!
PLUS -- throughout the whole book you get these awesome quotes from movies!! Here are a few of them:
"She's gone. She gave me a pen. I gave her my heart ... she gave me a pen." - Lloyd, Say Anything
"Try not to suck any dick on the way to the parking lot." - Dante, Clerks
"No, no, you've always had that wrong about me. I really am this shallow." - Will, About a Boy
"My God ... I haven't fucked like that since grade school." - Marla, Fight Club
"It's really human of you to listen to all my bullshit." - Samantha Baker, Sixteen Candles
To find out more about this book or Caprice's other books check out her Amazon Page.

They say that things just cannot grow beneath the winter snow
"Snowbound" by Janice Kay Johnson was such a disappointment. I picked it up from Amazon.com since they had it free if you had an iPod or a Kindle and it was on the top of the list for supposedly being so good. But ehhh. =0PIt's about a teacher who is driving back (in a snowstorm) from an out-of-town event with a group of her students (8 teens). They decided to take the quickest route back ... not knowing that that highway closes in the winter. Thankfully the route they took has a lodge on it. The owner of this lodge is a gentleman who just got discharged from the military, and is dealing with his own set of problems. During the teacher (and her group's) 3 night stay at the lodge waiting for the storm to let-up, the teacher and the owner build a connection ..... and they see if they can make it work afterwords.
I mean the setting was good and so was the plot/point of the story. But if I wanted to read about war scenes then I would have picked up a nonfiction or history type of book, not a romance. And even though the story was a short one, for how she dragged it out making so everyone was so indecisive .... I was just happy to see it end.
2 out of 5 stars.

I've found a reason for me, To change who I used to be, A reason to start over new ...
Betrayal of the ones we love are the hardest things to get past, in "Catch A Mate" by Gena Showalter all the characters deal with their own or others betrayals on almost a daily basis. Catch A Mate is a business where people who believe their significant other is cheating on them and want to find out if their accusations are accurate or not. All that person would have to do is hire Catch a Mate and an employee (called the bait) would find that significant other at a club (or some place they normally hang out) and try picking them up but at the end they don't follow it through, and they record it all so the spouse will know the truth. Jillian has worked at Catch A Mate for over 6 years and would love to take it over to make it even better then it already is. Marcus just happened to purchase the business from Jillian's boss. Both have major trust issues ... but will they learn that even though they want to stay enemies, they'll never find anyone else they could trust more then each other?2 out of 5 stars. Don't let the rating fool you ... it was a really good book ... cute. I mean I loved all of the characters! Main and secondary stories were awesome! However ... the ending ruined it for me .... it felt like Gena tried to wrap everything up to fast. Yet I don't know how it could have been written any better either. Which is sad since I liked it right up until there was about a quarter left in the book. =0(

Made the Grade: A Bride for All Seasons Series, Book 1
Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 528 KB | Release Date: February 2009 | Publisher: Harlequin Books"The Bride's Baby" [A Bride for All Seasons Series, Book 1] by Liz Fielding
My Book Summary : Sylvie has planned so many weddings that she is now the most sought after Bridal Planner, however when one of her friends decides on ditching their groom three days before their wedding for one of her employees her whole world changes.
Tom has just been left/dumped by his run away bride and now wants to confront the person who he would like to lay the blame on, Sylvie, especially since it was her employee. While hassling her at a meeting to go over the invoices that he needs to pay for the wedding, even though it never happened, sparks fly in more ways then one! Once the dusts settles they find they can't deny what is between them any longer, and they find themselves together in his bed.
Afterwords, Tom leaves the country as he planned but can't get her out of his mind, while Sylvie finds out she's pregnant and plans for what will happen next, and it is all uphill for them miscommunications galore! Will the truth ever come out before it's too late?
My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars. Predictable but cute story! The good thing about it was that with all of the miscommunications between them it was written in a way that didn't make me feel like either character was annoying or make me not like one character because of how they could have acted.
Book Teaser :
"Tell me what he's seeing that's making him melt," Geena persisted.
His gaze dropped to the unmistakable bulge where his baby was growing beneath her heart and, shattering the illusion, said, "Sackcloth and ashes would do it." Then, turning abruptly away, "Mark, have you got everything you need in here?" ~ within Chapter 4

I don’t know but I think I maybe fallin’ for you. Dropping so quickly, maybe I should keep this to myself, waiting ’til I know you better.
Format: Hardcover | Pages: 267 | Release Date: August 2004 | Publisher: Delacorte Press"The Immortal Highlander" [The Highlander Series, Book 6] by Karen Marie Moning -- In this novel Ms. Moning took Adam Black from villain Book 1 (and maybe a few others in this series) and made him the hero! Basically Adam had been a considerable grievance to the Faery Queen in fighting against the High Council and her to save a mortals life, and because of that she punished him by taking his powers away, making him human, and making him invisible to all the mortals around him for an unknown period of time.
After a couple of months later at an impasse of what he might do to let the Faery Queen give back his immortality, a sidhe-seer named Gabrielle (Gabby) gets caught looking at him and he realizes she might just be able to save him.
Gabby tries to fight off his lure, but with his charms he is hard to keep resisting, and she just might be falling for one of the "things" her grandmother had told her always to stay away from. But what will happen once Adam gets his powers back? And with someone on Adam's tail trying to kill him over centuries old arguments while he's in human form, will they even survive before they get Adam to speak to the Queen?
4.5 out of 5 stars! It's a wonderful love story! Loved the characters! In addition, if you are a fan of the Fever series then you MUST read this book since it will give you a little more background info on Darroc -- why he was punished the way he was and how he started becoming what he is now.
For more information on this book, series and/or any other books by Karen, then please check out her website.

... come feel this magic i've been feeling since i met you ...
I'm not sure if this happens to every girl ... but the lucky ones (like me) get to grow up with guys who aren't related to her and yet are like family. That's how it is for Belly in "The Summer I Turned Pretty" by Jenny Han.This 15 yr old lives her life for the summers she spends at a beach house with her mom, brother, and her mothers best friend with her sons. Growing up she has always been the youngest in the pack and the only girl. Over the years she has tried to be included and the summer that she turns sweet 16 things finally change, especially when everyone realizes that she has grown up and isn't a little girl anymore.
When you always grown up thinking you were the ugly duckling ... and now your not ... how can you get everyone else to see it too?
Belly is a great character ... brave in her own way ... loving to those around her ... and never gives up.
I give it 3 out of 5 stars. To find out more about this book or other books by Jenny Han check out her website.
