Finished which was pretty good! I enjoyed it.

Going to read .

[Tellulah]

Finished Not bad. I really liked the whole idea of the damned circus, some very hot m/m scenes - just bumps with the voice of the main character. Thought he should have been a bit rougher. Sometimes he just seemed a bit polite and bland.

[Dee]

i finished - disappointed...from the cover/title/description you'd expect a swimming based book, but not really - and there was like a tragedy for tragedy sake that just didn't work

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

I started .

I hate books that have tragedy for tragedy sake. It's a peev of mine.

[Gwennie, Mrs. Bookworm]

starting and already geeking, lmao. I love this world and these characters.

Mine, too. When I read Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas years ago, I finished that book feeling like the author just sat down and thought 'I'll write a sad book.' I didn't find it very full of emotion at all.

[Gwennie, Mrs. Bookworm]

Exactly, lol. I wind up feeling like they were just attempting to manipulate me and I wind up more pissed off.

[Dee]

it was disappointing...I need to figure out how my review will go - I was supposed to have it up on my blog last week, but I wrote the wrong date down and didn't have the book read...normally the blog tour company is a no reviews below 3 stars, but since its late...its a solid 2.5 - just trying to decide if I want to round up or down on GR

[Gwennie, Mrs. Bookworm]

Does it annoy you that they put a stipulation on it like that?

[Dee]

sometimes...i'm pretty up front if I don't feel it will get a good review and they don't hold me to writing them - I just DNF and post at a later date

[Gwennie, Mrs. Bookworm]

Gotcha

I think this is a big reason why New Adult doesn't work for me. I think authors feel like the more drama, the better the story.

[Dee]

we termed NA in another group - TADS - teen angst drama sex...kinda sums it up

[Gwennie, Mrs. Bookworm]

lol, it does sum it up. I really don't like NA either. I've read a few and they just seem to be... yeah, manipulative to the point of unenjoyable... for me.

[Dee]

i liked Easy because it was like the first one I read - pretty much every other one has been a let down

[Gwennie, Mrs. Bookworm]

I liked Easy too.

[Gwennie, Mrs. Bookworm]

I liked Easy too.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Reading . I was going to read something else but I couldn't stop thinking about Chocolate Thief and decided to start book 2. It's pretty cute so far.

[Kay]

Hahha @ TADS. So true!!! NA is usually a hit or miss for me too. Most of the time a miss. But I did like Easy too.

I'm currently reading a historical .

[Tellulah]

Picked up based on all the love for it and just, my God, yes on every level!

Pure adoration. How's book 2? Anyone?

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

I'm almost done with book 2. I went into it expecting not to like the book because everyone says to read through book number 2 in order to get to the next books, which are better. Supposedly, book number 4 is the fan favorite (along with 1). Maybe because I didn't expect much out of the second book, I'm really enjoying it quite a bit. It won't be a 5 star read like the first book, but unless the end sucks, it will be a solid 4 for sure. It's cute - kind of similar in parts to the first book (the author definitely sticks to a formula) but also reminds me of the movie You've Got Mail with the rival business owners.

So I think if you go into it expecting it to not be as good as book 1, you might enjoy it, because I am.

Cool. Thanks. I will go in with lowered expectations.

i finished Sex Love Repeat and i really enjoyed it. i liked the two main male leads and how they interacted with Madison. i also liked who she ended up with in the end.
now i'm listening to

[Tellulah]

How do I love Sarah Maclean? Let me count the ways. Her latest chapter the HRs involving The Fallen Angel gaming club was the best of the series yet And the ending killed me! Not sure how I'm going to wait 2 months for the final book.

That does sound good!

[Ian]

I've been reading Rock Chick Renegades...
Honestly if you've read one, you've read them all. The only difference between the books is the names but they're still good fun.
Though I have a bit of a problem with something that just happened.
Jules, the heroine of the story just told Vance (the alpha hero) that she wasn't interested in sex and he pretty much forced her. I get that she loves him and that she enjoyed it...but...she said "no"!!!

errr...if she needs convincing then that's a no.



Next up is One Plus One by Jojo Moyes. I'm kind of excited about this book.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

I like Jojo Moyes. I'm looking forward to what you think of the book. This is one I haven't read.

Finished and it was cute. I loved the quirky, slightly spooky setting and rivalry between business owners. It reminded me of the movie You've Got Mail. It wasn't nearly as magical or epic as book 1, but it was still an enjoyable read.

Finally getting a move on with my slow read of .

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

I read my first Jojo Moyes a few weeks ago. I really enjoyed it! Her books stick with you.

[Tellulah]

I'm very glad that Stacia had me lower my expectations for because it wasn't as good as book one. And had I expected it to be, I would have been severely disappointed. Instead I was enchanted. Ensorcelled if you will. On to book three.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

I hope to start book 3 soon. I'm most looking forward to book 4. I was told yet again the other day that it's a favorite.

Weirdly my library has books 1,2 and one other but not 3. Let me know how you find it.

If I didn't love you, I'd have to smack you right now. You know why. O.o

Welcome back!

[Courtney]

Welcome back, Carina!

I just finished , which was mediocre at best.

Starting .

[Carina]

Life has been horrible, Tell!! :) lol

I know, I know Amy....but I love you too!! Yay! Haha!

Thanks Court! I'm happy to slowly crawl out of the shadows ;)

[Regina]

I finished and really really enjoyed it. I can't wait for the sequel, so far there is no date.

I am dnfing -- and sad to do it.

I just finished the audio of and enjoyed it (I will post more on the audio thread). I am starting the audio of . I am also starting the paperback (ugh!) of

Hello Carina *waves*

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

I started .

[Ian]

Just finished The One Plus One by Jojo Moyes, and Without Words by Ellen O'Connell. Both were pretty special in very different ways. Now I'm moving on to something less taxing...a cozy mystery, Red Delicious Death by Sheila Connolly



Picked up a few books from Edelweiss and Netgalley in the last week which I'll get to soon.



And Elizabeth Hunter's publicist offered me an ARC of her latest book which I declined because it's book 2 in the series, but I offered to read book 1 instead ... Shifting Dreams.

I'm glad to hear you liked the Ellen O'Connell one, Ian. I can't wait to get to it!

[Tellulah]

I couldn't find book 3 at my library so I skipped over to book 4. It may be the fan fav but it's my least fav one so far. Books 1 and 2 were sooo much better in my opinion. I felt like everything - Paris, the chocolate, Dominique and Jaime were all really formulaic without any of the depth and delight that had informed the previous books.
