Yeah Erin, I know. I was trying to keep the name of the guilty under wraps just in case :)

Teresa | 606 comments So The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho wound up being a DNF. I just couldn't get into it for some reason. I moved onto The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini which I'm about halfway through with and I really like it so far.

Tiana411 | 701 comments I've found a new contemporary author I'm falling in love with. I finished You and Everything After (Falling, #2) by Ginger Scott and I loved it. I had so much fun reading it. Normally I'm not a fan of NA or a series with different protagonist for each book but I've changed my mind for this one.

Hate when that happens Teresa. Hopefully the next one will be better.

 ♥ Rebecca ♥ | 1653 comments I am on a YA PNR kick right now, so I wont be reading it right now. But with Confess by Colleen Hoover coming out soon, I realized I have never read a Colleen Hoover book and thought I should probably get to that. Where should I start? With Slammed (Slammed, #1) by Colleen Hoover ?

My favorite is Hopeless but if you read that first it will spoil the others for you.

I didn't really love Slammed BUT if you want to start, I would start there. Only b/c IMO her writing gets so much better in later books and if you go back (like I did) you might be disappointed b/c these haven't really changed since they were self pubbed.

Because it is so good? That happened with Cassie Mae. I read her book Reasons I Fell for the Funny Fat Friend by Cassie Mae first and nothing has been able to compare since. :P But her books are still great and I can tell I would have loved them more if it werent for that one.

LOL! I agree, don't read Hopeless or Maybe Someday first. Just start with Slammed series so you can see how she writes. And know that Hopeless is better than Slammed and so on. Although I personally think she peaked at Maybe Someday. Ugly Love and Confess didn't come close to that for me. But Tracy doesn't like Maybe Someday, so she might have a different opinion!

Exactly Rebecca. Hopeless is that good and the others pale in comparison, at least for me.

Yeah, this is not ny fav series of hers. I've only read the first one, but it didn't seem to have her typical "alpha male" and it was so long it seemed to drag.

Slammed was my first CH book I read and I loved it!! If you read Hopeless first, it will just ruin the others for you because it's so freaking good. Best to start with some of her other books.

LOVE IT SO MUCH Rebecca :) I've read the Slammed books like 3 times. I try to read them once a year that's how much I love them.

Definitely agree with you 100% Bridget. Slammed was my first CoHo book and I fell head over heels in love love with her and with Slammed. Loved the trilogy so much that I read them once a year :) and then have read and loved all of her books since.

Belkis (bminaya) | 8313 comments Okay so since I was last on here I've read Eight Days a Week by Amber L. Johnson which turned out much better than I thought it would. By the end it was enjoyable. Grim (Tornians, #1) by M.K. Eidem which I loved the story and the narration of the audio and will be continuing on with this new PNR series. Matefinder (Matefinder #1) by Leia Stone which was fantastic! I'm definitely looking forward to the next book. Reasonable Doubt Volume 1 (Reasonable Doubt, #1) by Whitney Gracia Williams Reasonable Doubt Volume 2 (Reasonable Doubt, #2) by Whitney Gracia Williams Reasonable Doubt Volume 3 (Reasonable Doubt, #3) by Whitney Gracia Williams which was very very good. Hot Hot Hot LOL! Good Girl Gone (Reed Brothers) (Volume 7) by Tammy Falkner another good one in the Reeds series! Falling for Max (Kowalski Family, #9) by Shannon Stacey loved getting back to The Kowalskis, nice happy light series and very funny too. Withering Hope by Layla Hagen which was pretty good but I feel could've been better. It dragged a bit in parts and then the effing second epilogue! Yep I forgot the warnings not to and jumped in and then it was too late to not read it. Still a good story. Now listening to Hero by Samantha Young for week 11 of our weekly RC and loving it of course, it's Samantha Young LOL!

I still need to read Reasons I Fell for the Funny Fat Friend by Cassie Mae it's been in my TBR for a while and I'm planning to read it soon. I've heard so many great things about it.

I've heard lots of good things about This is Falling (Falling, #1) by Ginger Scott and it's yet another one that's been in my TBR for a while and also planning on reading soon. Sigh. Why are there so so many good ones! It feels like I'm never going to catch-up.

Maybe some day is one of my favs, Slammed I loved, but if you don't get slam poetry it's a bit difficult, however very emotional. I enjoyed hopeless, and it was interesting as well as emotional, but idk.


Danielle (Danniegurl) (danniesreads) | 1326 comments Yay glad you're back Belkis, welcome back. Glad you loved Matefinder as well!!

I didn't know what Slammed poetry was until I read it. I understood it, but I just didn't think the writing was as good as her other books. Keep in mind I read it AFTER Hopeless series and Maybe Someday. So I was going back to when she was self-dubbed and that really makes such a difference in how her books are presented. Don't get me wrong, it's good. But I just didn't think it was fantastic. Had I read them first, yep, I definitely would have thought they were phenomenal!
