What's on the shelf? Vision in White - Nora Roberts

Vision in White - Nora Roberts

It's a typical Nora Roberts book with situations and names changed, but you know exactly what's going to happen and can't help but roll your eyes as how it does happen.

Four friends (let's see if I cared enough to remember their names, Mac (the main character), Parker, Emmaline, and Laurel) run a wedding business called Vows in Parker's parents old estate. Parker's parents died and left the house to her so she's made it into a business, and most of the outbuildings, poolhouses etc., into homes for her friends. Mac is a photographer with a really annoying mother who doesn't seem to be too integral to the story. I think Roberts could just say that Mac was afraid to love because of her observation of her mother's relationships. I think we could have done without toxic mom.

Anyway, one day they are doing a bridal consult and Mac is in the kitchen and manages to spill diet coke on her blouse so she takes it off and this guy ambles into the kitchen and OMG walks into a doorframe and hurts himself. Mac comes to the rescue and realizes that it's this guy Carter that she went to school with and he's there for the consult with his sister, whose name escapes me.

From here, you pretty much go through Carter trying to thaw Mac out, and Mac running away, and coming back and a cheesy ending.

I'm glad I didn't buy this one. I think for the next three books, she's just going to do a find and replace and change the names. I won't bother with the next one.

Hey, What's on the Shelf? God is Not Great by Christopher Hitchens

God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything - Christopher Hitchens

I was surprised nobody on the train slapped me for reading this!

Christopher Hitchens is a pretty controversial speaker and in this book he talks about a lot of the contradiction in the bible and religion in general. It was interesting.

Yeah, this is a crappy review. I don't know what else to really say except that I agreed with most of it.

I'm planning on picking up Hitchen's The Pocket Athiest sometime soon.
