Jennifer’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

Originally from Hamlet,

I don't know if the original quote counts though......

Finished . 1 Star for me. Insta-love always putsa me off :(

I remember reading Black Dagger Brotherhood books 10 years ago and paranormal romance was a new genre for me and it was awesome! Now a lot of it is so cringy. Maybe I've just outgrown it. Anyone else have that problem?

I love Urban Fantasy, vampires, werewolves the lot but I guess I need more than the lovestory for a book to interest me now.

I completely forgot about the vampire goal! I was just focused on the werewolf (I'm always on team wolf lol)!

Yes it did :D

I'm still in but like you Suzanne I'll probably read other books too. I'm on a romance binge at the moment! I always reas romances in spades and then don't for a couple of months lol :)

Anybody else do that?
