REVIEW: The One I Left Behind

The One I Left Behind: A Novel
Author:  Jennifer McMahon
Published by:  William Morrow paperbacks
Publishing date:  January 2, 2013
Source:  ecopy given by Edelweiss for honest opinion

Wow, what can I say about this book? I've been dying to read it and have been watching for Jennifer's new book to come out. I wish she could write faster. This is the 4th book I've read by Jennifer.

Regina, or Reggie, grew up with an eccentric mom. Always out with men, drinking at the bars. Until the day Reggie's mom, Vera, is kidnapped by a serial killer, who has already kidnapped and killed 3 other women in their small town. This book is about growing up, coming of age with an odd family life and trying to break out of it.

I really don't want to get too into detail because I'm always afraid I'll ruin it the way some Goodreads reader ruined it for me. I still totally enjoyed it and am looking forward to Jennifer's next one. I'll just end this by saying you won't be disappointed.

Other books by Jennifer McMahon:
Promise Not to Tell
Don't Breathe A Word
Island of Lost Girls
Dismantled
My Tiki Girl
Girl in the Woods

Weigh In Wednesday

Today's topic: E-book Vs. Print Book

I was given a Kindle Keyboard last April and I don't think I've read a print book yet.  In February my husband bought me a Kindle Fire.  Again, haven't read a print book.  But let me tell you, I am DYING to read a print book.  I just have to get my hands on one and flip the pages.  I always have to watch the battery on the kindle, sometimes it's too bright for me(even though I can chance the brightness), and something even funnier, I can't wait to use a bookmark!  Does that sound silly?
