What Are You Reading? 2015
Finished
It wasnt bad but yeah I see how there should or could be many more books in this series but for me Im done here. There was just to much "juvenile snark" I found myself rolling my eyes many many times It was like being in high school ...That and all 3 books were almost the same story/sex scenes/banter and so on you get the idea. Over all it wasnt a bad series and I also enjoyed
But I wont be reading her Vampire series.Apparently not all reviews should be ignored ...
I dont always pay attention to reviews,actually most times I ignore them especially if Ive read and enjoyed the authord previous work.
So
was one that had very mixed reviews I think it has an overall rating of 3 stars and after about DNF at 40% I would say that a lot of these reviews gave a generous rating! My rating 2/5 !Next up is
then
<-- worried about this one Ive read so many so so reviews ..

.I didn't think
was as good as some of her other books. That being said I still really enjoyed it. You can't go wrong with Colleen Hoover.
liked Fiery Heart but not as much as I expected to and was disappointed with
I still have MR on my Bookshelf unread .. Ive heard its good but so many books Never enough time!

Nope sure cant! I loved all her books so far but only one Ive actually given a 5 star rating. She does have a way with words and Ive enjoyed everyone of her books to date but only really Loved one of them. I know a lot of people either loved or hated this book and I know why already,I just hope Its really not that big of an issue with me. I dont think it will be but I guess there is a first time for everything.Nicole wrote: "Laura wrote: "Finished

Oh this reminds me I have this on audio and I started it a few months ago but stopped about 30 minutes into it when unexpected company showed up! Ill have to get back to it asap. I was already drawn in from the little I listened to.Nitzan wrote: "I'm reading

Just finished reading the
series and loved it! Samantha Young is fast becoming one of my favourite authors - I am constantly amazed by the high quality of writing produce by many self-published authors these days!

See that's why i don't read reviews before I read a book. Might listen to recommendations, but I never read reviews. I want to experience it myself. Some loved it, some hated it, go in with an open mind and an understanding of what the two main characters agree upon!

I agree. I liked Ugly Love, but Maybe Someday is my favorite by her.

I love the narrator for these so I want to do audio even bough reading is faster. Will probably have my headset on for the next few days. The other books I think were about 12 hours on audible.

half way through and having trouble putting that one down to....THANKS FOR THE MOD CHOICE... I WOULD HAVE NEVER read these amazing books!

Oh I have the third book left to read this month Tracy and really enjoying this trilogy. I've read one book each month since I red Ruby Red and they're great.

very good trilogy. And
is an interesting standalone story. I still have 2 of her series to read though (Fire Spirits & The Fade) and I'm looking forward to them.
