Book Review: The Seven Steps to Closure
This was one of the many free books that I downloaded to my sister-in-law's kindle. Sadly, many of them sit there, unread, for a long time. But something drew me to this book, and I am happy that I decided to read it.
Tara turns 30 and learns that her husband is leaving her all at once. A year later, the news is filled with images of her ex running for political office, and getting engaged...to her cousin. She is in a constant fog, unable to move on.
Thankfully, Tara has a close-knit group of girl friends who are there to help her through her compulsion to purchase baked goods and be forever miserable. An article in a magazine about achieving the seven steps to closure from a relationship turns into something that her friends insist that Tara try.
I really enjoyed this book. I almost felt like I was reading Marian Keyes. But she's Irish and Donna is Australian, so the book settings are different. I feel like the main book theme is similar, though. Females finding their place in the world and the man of their dreams, all at the same time.
If you like a good chick lit, give this book a read. It's not free anymore, but you can purchase an ebook on Amazon currently for $3.99. If you need a nook book, though, you're out of luck. B&N only has the paperback edition of the book for sale.

Book Review: Easy Bake Coven
This book caught my eye on a long list of freebies on a Facebook page that I follow. Feed your Reader, For the Love of Books, One a More Chapter, Coffee and a Good Book...surely it was one of those! The title is clever and being totally free to download, it was a risk-free decision.
Selene belongs to a small coven comprised of her friends from college. But her low-key life of running a yoga studio changes when her grandmother is attacked and a stranger insists that she is in danger.
I loved how easily the story flowed and the surprises start from the get-go. I rooted for Selene as she discovers that her life as she remembers it is only a small portion; that she's lived another life completely. I enjoyed reading this book so much that I immediately bought the second book in the series after finishing this one. First book is free, second book is $3.99. Great reads that won't make your bank account sad!
Did you know that there was a Simpson's sketch called Easy Bake Coven? I found out that little tidbit when I was image searching for the book cover :)
