When I was a young, overly dramatic high schooler, I was fascinated by multiple personality disorder. I even gave a speech on it in my speech class. I devoured every single book imaginable on the subject, including the infamous

Sybil.

The author presents a pretty good case that Shirley Mason's ("Sybil") "symptoms" might have been induced by shoddy psychiatric practices. Although I'm happy that her mother didn't do all those dreadful things, I'm a little embarrassed that I fell for it hook, line and sinker.

I found this book fascinating, although there were a few clunky chapters that just begged to be skimmed.

This book was laugh-out-loud funny, but not the kind of funny you want your mom to know you understand. Every chapter gave me at least one guffaw-worthy moment. My favorite was when Chelsea's boyfriend admitted to some slightly questionable behavior with a dog - and with a peke-a-poo for that matter! If you're easily offended, this isn't the book for you. (Although if you're easily offended, you're probably not picking up a book with 'vodka' in the title!)

I have no idea what made me pick this up. Normally, I hate multiple book in one novels. For some reason, I found the three little books very entertaining. I liked the characters and the stories. I kind of want to go find Books 4 - 6, but I feel like I should read something more adult first.

Blech! This was a very dull tell-all. I was hoping for chapters and chapters of shocking 90210 scandal. Instead, I was deluged with boring "poor little rich girl" woes.

For some reason, I don't feel all that sorry for someone who really wanted a Rabbit (or whatever kind of crappy car she wanted) but instead got a BMW.

For such an unattractive cover, this was actually an excellent book. Leroy has a descriptive, lyrical writing style. You feel like you really understand the characters. There's a gloomy, gothic feel to the entire book. Loved the mom, but felt like the daughter was a giant brat!

The story was flat. I didn't find the characters engaging.

One of my friends has been singing the praises of these Amish books for quite some time. After reading 10 books in a row about zombies, vampires, the apocalypse, aliens and murder, I decided I could use a little bit of R & R with the Amish.

It was very soothing to read. I just wish there had been a little more action. It was so chaste - a little peck on the cheek and then it's time for a wedding. Plus, it was so sexist. Women should be quiet and listen to the men. Women do all the cleaning and cooking. Ugh!

Although I'm not sure why I expected anything different. It was an Amish romance novel, not one of my beloved smutty historicals.

This may be one of my favorite books of 2011. At first I thought Lindsey was a whiny brat, but she quickly grew on me. It was fun to watch Lindsey discover a new side to herself - and I'm a sucker for a life-altering makeover like the one that takes place in this book.

Yes, some of the plot points are cliche, and I figured out the ending pretty early on. However, the characters are warm and well developed, the writing flows and the story is enjoyable to read. It felt a bit like a cozy blanket.

I've decided this series is the VC Andrews of Christian fiction - trashy, trashy, trashy. I'm not sure why I picked it up - maybe all that 2012 crap I've been devouring. I just know I'm now going to have to read to the terrible end of this series.

The book was is preachy and hilarious. My favorite part was that the chosen peeps were taken to heaven without any clothes - in fact, even their contact lenses were left behind. (Am I juvenile to find that funny?) I was also impressed that fetuses were taken - but not the pregnant women.

Can't wait to read what happens next!

One of the twistiest books I've read in a long time - loads of fun!
