Can You Keep a Secret by Sophie Kinsella

I think I may have read this before, but it was enjoyable to read and a great way to get lost for a while.  Emma is not always truthful about things and tells white lies to make people happy.  On a flight she got quite nervous and ended up spilling her guts.  Unbeknown-st to her it was the owner of the company she works for.  Many crazy and silly things happen along the way, she gets twisted up in some stories and really learns a lot about herself and others.  It all turns out nice in the end and it was a fun ride.  I have always enjoyed Kinsella's books and this was not disappointment.

Brimstone by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child

I did not like how this ended!!  The story line was very interesting, dealing with the devil, or so we thought.  There were many twists and turns and travel.  We learned more about some of the core characters and a personal relationship blossoms.  Preston and Child do a great job telling a story and keeping you going.  There were many layers to this book and they were placed very well.  I had to keep reading to see what was going to happen and I continued to be surprised.  But, as I said, I did not like the ending at all.  I hope the next book will settle me down a little bit!!
