Real Murders by Charlaine Harris

Alright, I am not going to lie to you, I read this book because I love the Hallmark series with Candace Cameron Bure.  The story is about a woman who lives in a small town and is a part of a club where they research and discuss murder cases from history.  In this novel, the members of her club begin to be targetted, and all of the crimes match historical murders.  The main character, Aurora Teagarden, is a charming and quirky single woman who maintains a strong relationship with her mother who lives in the same town.  If you are a fan of the movies, Aurora is a little more quirky in the book than in the movies but she is still charming and entertaining.

I liked the book.  I will definitely pick up the next book in the series.  Also, it was pretty short and light read if that is what you’re looking for.  I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars.

 Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling

I love Harry Potter and I am always rereading the books.  I have re-read the series several times.  This book is the third book in the series and it is my favorite.  This book is about when Sirius Black escapes from Azkaban and everyone fears that he is coming for Harry.  This novel reveals a lot of information about Lord Voldemort and what happened the night Harry’s parents died and the night he got that scar.

It’s hard to say much more about this book without giving things away, but seriously I don’t think I could love it more.  I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.

The Reel Sisters by Michelle Cummings

This is a novel that I stumbled across and I figured I’d give it a try.  This novel is about four friends who meet at one of the women’s lake house for long weekends of fly fishing and girl time.  It had a cute storyline but I felt like there was really no plot.  As a teacher, I can only explain it by saying there really could no plot diagram made about this book.  (Sorry, I’m a nerd)

The characters were relatable and well developed but I just feel like nothing happened throughout the book.  I am going to have to give it 2 out of 5 stars.
