January Pick-It-For-Me Challenge

Finished the first of two challenge picks:
I gave three stars on this one. I didn't dislike this book, but it didn't work for me on a few levels. It's a memoir, but I couldn't form a connection with the author. I think she'd be a cool person to hang out with, but some of her decisions and reasoning simply stray too far from my own. This isn't a right or wrong thing, just very different.

I finished this awhile ago and forgot to post about it here. I really enjoyed it, and can't wait for the next book in the series.
I finished
today and I liked it a lot, I will definitely continue reading this series. Thank you Alina, for picking it for me.
Minnie picked
for me and I just finished! I really liked it! I'm glad I finally got around to starting that series!
I'm on page 207 of Beautiful Creatures that Elise picked for me and I don't think I'm going to complete the challenge but we will see
So I finished Defiance by C.J Redwine, (picked for me by Antionette) and I have to say that I loved it! I thought it had a great plot and interesting characters. To me had the best mash-up of fantasy, adventure, and a little romance in the mix of things. Can't wait to read the next one!
I finished reading
last night and gosh!! I want my own travis :D thanks for recommending it to me partner
I finished
- thank you for the suggestion, Ritu!This book was incredibly difficult for me to rate because I enjoyed SO MUCH of this book and I'm very happy to have read it - finally!
I gave it a three, because of how much was left hanging at the end, how many questions were left unanswered. I didn't get the 'closed door' feeling I wanted. Despite the parts I loved - and there were many - I couldn't shake the frustration of all the unknowns. I'm more of a 'why' person, instead of a 'what' person.
I realize this is a personal pet-peeve, and I would not hesitate to recommend this book to others.
Thanks, partner!
