Hi Monica, can you please let me know what are your picks for shelves kickass-hero and 5-stars?

Book: Grave Peril by Jim Butcher
Read: 13. Mar. 2017.
Rating: 4 stars
Spot: Snarky
How it fits: #71 on the list

After one book I thought that The Dresden Files series was not my cup of tea, but this year I decided to give it another chance. Now after three books I have become kinda addicted. I like Harry and his penchant for trouble and I will probably read this series until the end.
Sure, it is written more for male then female audience, but if my husband can read Kate Daniels and suffer trough steamy scenes, I can read descriptions of sexy woman and clingy clothes from guys POV.
As for the Grave Peril it was a fun book. Mystery, action, scary vamps, it had it all. Can't wait for more dragons and to find out more about Harry's past. And hoping that Harry's luck in love finally turns for the better...

Book: Six of Hearts by L.H. Cosway
Read: 01. Apr. 2017.
Rating: 2.5 stars
Spot: 5 Stars
How it fits: shelved 36 times as 5-stars

If Six of Hearts was not free for Kindle, I probably would have never picked it up. And I would not have missed much.
My only conclusion after this book that magic tricks are much better when they are seen then described. I missed the wow-what-the-hell-happened factor.
As for the romance (and plot), it was all over the place. Didn't really engage me since I didn't connect with any of the characters.
In the end, one big MEH...

Then maybe I will read it whole.

I adore Ian. Especially his banter with Cat. I just read Home for the Holidays and laughed all the time. :)

Book: Twice Tempted by Jeaniene Frost
Read: 23. Mar. 2017.
Rating: 3 stars
Spot: Kickass Hero
How it fits: shelved 2 times as kickass-hero (second page of the list)

OK so it's official. I like Vlad more as side character in Night Huntress series than as main character in his own series. How weird is that?
Twice Tempted is my least favorite book by Jeaniene Frost so far.
- Vlad was very aloof and cold. I never could determine what he was feeling.
- The heroine Leila was very whiny, demanding and unreasonable in her requests. I didn't like her at all.
I am giving this series one more book/chance to get better. If not, I've still got yummy Night Huntress series when I crave for some fast food PNR. ;)

Book: Doctor Sleep by Stephen King
Read: 27. Mar. 2017.
Rating: 4.5 stars
Spot: Next In Series
How it fits: shelved 9 times as next-in-series

There are some books that are such are HUGE. The Shining is one of them.
When I heard there will be a sequel to The Shining I thought that Stephen King needed more money to buy house number 3 (or whatever) and that there is no way the sequel could be as good as the book that is already a classic and one of the most scary horror novels you will ever read.
BUT, the joke was on me. Doctor Sleep was a pleasant surprise. It was not as scary as The Shining, but since I don't enjoy horrors anymore as I used to, it was a good thing.
I loved the picture of adult Danny Stephen King painted for us. The genetics, our upbringing, our past, it all shapes us into a person we become. Watching Danny fight with the ghosts of his past was a moving story.
Recommended for all fans of The Shining.

I will be reading shelved 36 times as 5-stars.

Sorry I finished two books but `i won't have time before monday to write reviews. We are still in big chaos since we moved...

I'll read shelved 9 times as next-in-series.

I am going to read shelved 2 times as kickass-hero (second page of the list).
