I will give book 3 a go when it pops out of my book jar, but if it is another painful one, I am going to google how it ends..lol."

Lol hope you don't end up googling it

Another one crossed off with for a book about setting me free. Yes, it has many flaws and is clichéd but this genre really lets me loose, so to speak. It's not always meant to be so series and real.

Okay, who has finished this? I just read it practically in one sitting and I have to say, that it captivated me from beginning to end, even though it was utterly ridiculous, clichéd and had me rolling my eyes a lot lol. I bloody enjoyed it. Am I the only one?! I mean, this genre i.e. new adult, really sets me free of sorts. Books don't always have to say the right things or showcase why in real life you would not do what most of these characters would. I guess that's why it's called fiction and reading is escaping reality.
Here is my review for a somewhat clearer description of my reactions...Paper Princess Review

If the book isn't rubbing me the wrong way, but just slow or kibd of annoying, I will track on. I must like misery..ha. I just have to know what happens sometimes..."

I couldn't even get into Shiver and I tried a couple of times but it was just not for me...you are braver than me, that's for sure.

Too bad you didn't enjoy Uprooted. It was ver..."

I found it too painful to keep reading Uprooted. If a book doesn't get me in at least the first 30% then I give up. There are just too many books to get through that I desperately want to read.

I'm glad Lady Midnight did that for you :D

You just have to push through it and once you do it keeps you invested. Hope you re-visit it one day :D

This is one I've been meaning to read for a long time.

Oh I hope I like this one :D I just met the author and she is such a sweet person."

I've heard great things about this book so I hope it turns out to be a wonderful first pick. Have fun reading it!

Loved Raven Cycle so much. I need to own that gorgeous series. Good luck in..."

She's a machine :D I wish I could read that many too.

Definitely a great way to work through our TBR's and are undecided because we just have too many to chose from.

Let me know how you two go and I will set up a specific folder for you and the book you wish to read.

Hey Lotte and Viktoria :D thanks for joining our group and welcome. You will definitely find us to be a great place to talk about books any time of the day.

Why don't you Marissa try to buddy up with Lucía :D

The next book I picked out is and I was really hoping to read this one soon, since the next book comes out in May ... woohoo!! My brother would be happy because he really needs to discuss the book with me, as he has read it already.
