I'm the one that always has to "plan" the challenge or I don't accomplish it. I think I have extreme book ADHD - I set out to read one and then I see another book and I'm like "Ooohh that looks good!" and read it instead.

Chris I see you read This Man (This Man, #1) by Jodi Ellen Malpas - I read the whole trilogy, but I didn't really fall in love with Jesse Ward like I thought I would. It was a good read, just not one of my favorites. Something about his behavior was almost obnoxious. What did you think?


message 31: by Chris (new)

Chris K. | 1404 comments I don't know karen. This series is one of my all time favorite. I loved it though he has his faults and he has no reasons to act like this espicially in the first book..


But the second and third book made me fall in love more :/
I'm hopless xD

I loved him sometimes and other not so much. But the series as a whole, I really liked it.

Hey guys! I suggest you all read The Longest Ride on July 15th. It is such a beautiful book, of two different love stories. The book is by Nicholas Sparks. Plus, there's a cowboy in it.

Oh my how could I forget such a book. I was determined to read it before seeing the movie

I've read it (The longest ride) and I have to say the book was good, but I think the MOVIE was actually better than the book (I know I am shocked too, I never thought those words would come out of my mouth!)


message 37: by [deleted user] (new)

What? No way! The book was way better! It was more dramatic than the movie and a big part of the book wasn't in the movie. But I loved the movie too it was very well written.

The one I had planned was set in space but doesn't actually have aliens:( so I am going with a Karen pick Claimed (Brides of the Kindred, #1) by Evangeline Anderson sounds interesting and I don't think it's a series so much as spin offs!!
