Jane (PS) | 24334 comments Woohoo :)

Fran | 12278 comments I finished this one. I enjoyed it. I loved Ash- I love when a party-boy / bad-boy realizes he doesn't like what he sees in the mirror anymore, or what others see in him, and decides to do something about it. Fee, the guy who led to Ash's self-awareness, was a little harder to get to know. I liked him, but his character wasn't as fleshed out as Ash. Overall, a nice read. 4 stars.

Jane (PS) | 24334 comments I agree Fran - I finished it on Tuesday night (I think). I'm probably 3.5 stars. It was fun and light-hearted but with a little bit of depth at the end.

Jane (PS) | 24334 comments Heads up - Dee is suggesting we read Sacred Fate (Chronicles of Ylandre, #1) by Eressë (Sacred Fate) by Eresse in January... She might even reread the book with us ;)

Breann | 398 comments I'm going to start this one after I finish my bingo book. Which should be tomorrow! Sounds like a fun one.

Jane (PS) | 24334 comments Hope you enjoy it Breann :)


message 8: by Breann (new)

Breann | 398 comments 16 % though and... hehe... I'm liking all of Ash's extreme measure to get to Fee. BUT I'm glad he's decided to just be himself.


message 9: by Breann (new)

Breann | 398 comments I just finished this one and it was a really cute story! Really fun & light.


~Melissa~ | 2097 comments Just finished this one - started out slow and Ash's stalkerish tendencies at the beginning while funny were kinda creepy. I agree Breann it was nice to siee him finally just be himself. Totally funny to see him nervous aobut stuff. I ended up enjoying it more than I thought I would. Too funny that Fee had his own version of "the book"!!
I really liked Ty - I want to know what is going on with him,lol.....

I liked his stalkerish tendencies. :) I thought it was cute for a guy like him -one who's used to getting who he wants - to go to such lengths to get the geek.


~Melissa~ | 2097 comments It was funny listening to him complain about not getting any....

Breann | 398 comments Good idea Fran!

Since we all just got it for free, no one has to buy anything for next month :)


message 19: by Jane (PS), Moderator (new) - rated it 4 stars

Jane (PS) | 24334 comments Suits me :) Nice work.


message 20: by Breann (new)

Breann | 398 comments Well, no m/m authors in the year long buddy read :( BUT I will definitely join you ladies here!


message 21: by Fran, Moderator (new) - rated it 4 stars

Fran | 12278 comments Great Breann!


So we are set for Just Ask by Mia Downing for January....


message 22: by Jane (PS), Moderator (new) - rated it 4 stars

Jane (PS) | 24334 comments Hey Breann - just join us here each month :) We informally select the next book about a fortnight before the next month, taking turns to nominate. You are more than welcome to nominate a few books for Feb (unless we go with Sacred Fate which Dee suggested this month for Jan, but we pushed back for the freebie ;) - we try to pick one that most of us haven't read...

Hope my rambling makes sense!


message 23: by Fran, Moderator (new) - rated it 4 stars

Fran | 12278 comments Yes! Anyone who wants to join in, please feel free to suggest a book :)

Makes sense. Thanks Jane! :)

Dee (austhokie) | 7316 comments if you guys want to go with freebies i'm cool with it - but I think ppl do need to read Sacred Fate ;)


message 26: by Jane (PS), Moderator (new) - rated it 4 stars

Jane (PS) | 24334 comments It's just for January Dee - but then we'll be back on track :)


message 27: by Dee (new)

Dee (austhokie) | 7316 comments i missed it as a freebie - lol! but it might already been in the stacks


message 28: by Fran, Moderator (new) - rated it 4 stars

Fran | 12278 comments Dee, it's lendable- I can lend it to you any time :)


message 29: by Fran, Moderator (new) - rated it 4 stars

Fran | 12278 comments Actually, Dee, it's free to read if you have Prime.


Makenzie (makenziefay) | 496 comments I have this book, and I'm gonna try really hard to finish it before month's end, but I still have 3 to finish for my December monthly challenge. I did grab 'Just Ask' while it was a freebie, so I should be set for that one for January.


message 31: by Jane (PS), Moderator (new) - rated it 4 stars

Jane (PS) | 24334 comments Great Makenzie!


~Melissa~ | 2097 comments I'll join you guys in Jan for Just Ask by Mia Downing ~ I downloaded it the other day....

Fran | 12278 comments Welcome Jenny!

We have January's pick already set but after that we are open to suggestions. Towards the end of the month we will throw around ideas for the next month. Please join in if you like and throw in some ideas!


message 34: by Jane (PS), Moderator (new) - rated it 4 stars

Jane (PS) | 24334 comments Sacred Fate (Chronicles of Ylandre, #1) by Eressë is the current suggested read for February, but we haven't yet really discussed it ;) So jump in with feedback on whether you have already read it or if you are interested. Let us know other suggestions as well...

We'll probably get into the seriously discussions in a fortnight or so :)
