Here’s Looking At You by Mhairi McFarlane

Here’s Looking At You by Mhairi McFarlane is a fun Brit Chick-Lit read. It is a perfect summer read, so if you are still in need of some books to read before the summer is over – this is definitely a good one to add to your list!

Book Description

“Anna Alessi – history expert, possessor of a lot of hair and an occasionally filthy mouth – seeks nice man for intelligent conversation and Harlequin romance moments.

Despite the oddballs that keep turning up on her dates, Anna couldn’t be happier. As a 30-something with a job she loves, life has turned out better than she dared dream. However, things weren’t always this way, and her years spent as the butt of schoolyard jokes are ones she’d rather forget.

So when James Fraser – the architect of Anna’s final humiliation at school – walks back into her life, her world is turned upside down. But James seems a changed man. Polite. Mature. Funny, even. People can change, right? So why does Anna feel like she’s a fool to trust him?

Hilarious and poignant, ‘Here’s Looking At You’ will have you laughing one minute and crying the next.” – Here’s Looking At You

My Thoughts

Here’s Looking At You is an easy and fun read, but it also a novel about how facing your insecurities and your past. If you can let go of some of it, you can be happy, but those pesky little thoughts may still come creeping back in and the trick is to learn how to trust yourself and be happy with who you really are. This message is what made me really like the book.

The characters in this book are great. “Anna” had me laughing and in tears for her. She is a memorable character that I really wanted to end up with a happy ending. Did she? Well, read the book to find out! I also love that the author threw her in to a high school reunion and people didn’t know who she was and her tormentor then wanted her now because of who she became.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book and think that if you like any kind of chick-lit, you will, too. I definitely recommend it!

Landing Gear by Kate Pullinger

Landing Gear by Kate Pullinger is a novel about an interesting concept that did take place in real life, well sort of. This story revolves around the airplane stowaway, Yacub, who falls on Harriet’s car.

Book Description

“Spring 2010. A volcano unexpectedly erupts in Iceland and airspace is shut down over Europe. Harriet works in local radio in London, and with most of her colleagues abroad, she seizes a unique career opportunity. Her husband, Michael, stuck in New York on business, travels to visit an old flame, and their teenage son, Jack, feeling liberated from normal life, takes an unexpected risk only to find himself in trouble. Meanwhile Emily, a young TV researcher, loses her adoptive father to a heart attack, and half a world away, a Pakistani migrant worker named Yacub is stranded in a Dubai labor camp. 

Two years later, Yacub, attempting to stow away, falls out of the landing gear of an airplane onto Harriet’s car in a London supermarket parking lot—and survives—while Emily accidentally captures it all on film. Yacub’s sudden arrival in the lives of Harriet, Jack, Michael, and Emily catapults these characters into a series of life-changing events, ultimately revealing the tenuous, often unexpected ties that bind us together.

Inspired by real-life accounts of airplane stowaways, Landing Gear is about the complex texture of modern life, and how we fight the loneliness of the nuclear family to hold on to one another.” – Landing Gear

My Thoughts

Landing Gear is a book I really thought would be interesting. The concept was really cool and something I had never thought about before. I’m a bit mixed on the actual end product of it though. I like it, but I think it could have been much better if laid out a bit differently.

There is a lot of “flashback” portions of the book to show how the characters became who they are after their chance meetings. Sometimes flashback sequences work out very well, other times, they fall flat, like this one. The characters didn’t really captivate me, except Yacub, so learning about their backstories didn’t interest me that much.

The overall plot itself is good and actually tells a very unique story, which I definitely give the author my applause for. Overall, I think it is okay and would be a good summer read. It sadly wouldn’t be at the top of my list though.

The Given by Vicki Pettersson

The Given by Vicki Pettersson is the final book in the “Celestial Blues” series. If you have been a fan of the series, this is definitely one you need to read! If you haven’t heard of it – this is your invitation to get engrossed in this fantastic series!

Book Description

“The dramatic conclusion to New York Times bestselling author Vicki Pettersson’s critically acclaimed Celestial Blues series—an inventive blend of paranormal romance, noir mystery, and urban fantasy—involving a fallen angel and a flesh-and-blood rockabilly reporter.

After learning his wife survived the attack that killed him fifty years earlier, angel/PI Griffin Shaw is determined to find Evelyn Shaw, no matter the cost. Yet his obsession comes at a price. Grif has had to give up his burgeoning love for reporter Katherine “Kit” Craig, the woman who made life worth living again, and dedicate himself to finding one he no longer knows.

Yet when Grif is attacked again, it becomes clear that there are forces in both the mortal and heavenly realm who’d rather see him dead than unearth the well-buried secrets of his past. If he’s to survive his second go-round on the Surface, Grif will have to convince Kit to reunite with him professionally, and help uncover decades of police corruption, risking both their lives . . . and testing the limits to what one angel is really willing to give for love.” – The Given

My Thoughts

The Given is the first book in the “Celestial Blues” series that I have read. However, I still enjoyed reading it and will definitely be reading the prior two. The conclusion of this book series was written very well and makes me want more, even if I know what happens!

I love the mix of mystery, crime, investigating, romance and the paranormal all thrown in together. This series is unique and the characters that live in it are memorable. It is something I could see being made into a TV series quite easily, especially with the whole retro goth vibe to it.

Overall, I completely enjoyed reading this book and found the author to be a delight. I will be checking out more of what she has to offer, because I can’t wait to read what else she has to offer! I highly recommend this book and the series!

Be an Angel - Clear that Clutter! by Jacky Newcomb

Be an Angel - Clear that Clutter! by Jacky Newcomb is a fun book that motivates us all to clear out some of the clutter in our life. If you have a lot of clutter or have a little here and there (and maybe behind the door over there), this is the book for you to get started!

Book Description

“Be An Angel — Clear That Clutter! is a best-selling author’s fascinating true story of how she went from chaos to clarity. Using lessons from her own clutter-clearing journey she uses humor to show you how to clear and sort your own home.

Follow the heavenly tips on:

- How to deal with emotional and inherited clutter
- Successfully merging two families belongings into one
- The secrets to getting family and friends involved
- Discovering ‘hidden’ storage
- Living like a VIP by using the ‘good stuff’ every day

If you’re a secret hoarder or just a little bit messy, you’ll find plenty of inspiration in this motivational, fun guide.” – Be an Angel - Clear that Clutter!

My Thoughts

Be an Angel - Clear that Clutter! is an excellent tool to help kick someone into gear for making their life more organized and less cluttered. I try to stay clutter free and organized, and if I had a bigger space, I’d be great. However, I don’t. So, sometimes I just need to go through my stuff and weed it out. I’m sure the local thrift store charity loves me. However, I know a lot of people that this clearing of clutter and “stuff” just doesn’t come naturally for them. It is hard to part with some stuff – even for me!

What I love about this book, is that she isn’t telling us to get rid of it all. You get to decide what is a keeper and what is not. I also adore that she wants us to use our good stuff, I mean really, what are waiting for to use that fine china or beautiful new dress we bought for an event that may never happen? Use it now!

Overall, I found this to be a great book about cleaning up some clutter, re-taking your house, and living with the stuff you actually want. I highly recommend it!

Letters to My Son by Kent Nerburn

Letters to My Son by Kent Nerburn is a beautifully written book about raising a son and life’s most important issues. This special 20^th Anniversary edition includes 3 new chapters not previously available.

Book Description

“At once spiritual and practical, Letters to My Son has been beloved by readers from all walks of life, including single mothers seeking guidance in raising a son, fathers looking to share a voice of clarity about life’s most important issues, and young men wanting an intelligent, sensitive, and streetwise companion on the journey toward a worthy manhood. In this twentieth anniversary edition, Kent Nerburn adds to his classic reflections on love, marriage, travel, money and wealth, tragedy and suffering, spirituality, sex, and the true meaning of strength, with new chapters on sexual identity and the difficulty of moving on (from relationships, homes, and stages of life). Unique in its profound simplicity and timeless insight, Letters to My Son is a book to savor and a gift to give to anyone looking for clear and gentle guidance on the big issues in life.” – Letters to My Son

My Thoughts

Letters to My Son is a book written with great intent and has true meaning. It isn’t superficial at all, which makes it a pure read that gets right to the reader’s heart. Sometimes the topics discussed in the book are not something that parents want to discuss with others, and this book helps guide them through those areas.

The lessons learned here are worthy for everyone to read, and many quotable passages throughout the book are filled with true spirit that can be savored for centuries to come. If you or someone you know is looking for a book to help them guide their son (or even a daughter), this is definitely a book that they (or you) need to read! I highly recommend it.
