I had to add Pucked and Sincerely Carter to my list. They both look so good. I have to stop reading this thread.
Mod
This thread has a way of corrupting you that's for sure lol I got Sincerely, Carter too. Can't help myself ;D

Mod
This thread will definitely burst your TBR Nicole.
Mod
LOL! Pucked was really good! I am reading Sincerely, Carter now. I'm about 40% in and it's just meh for me.
Mod

Mod
and I'm not really feeling it, to be honest. I don't feel the connection between the main characters. No chemistry for me at all. I'm a bit disappointed since it came so highly recommended.
Mod
"Crap
Mod
"Crap"
It just didn't catch my attention. It was not believable for me. And I just didn't like the way the main characters were interacting.

@ Brooke. I'm sorry it was a dnf for you! I loved it!! This is why I have a hard time recommending books - because you never know what others will like. Oh well. Next time!

Lol, it's not that bad Rebecca. It's not like The Fault in Our Stars sad but it made me tear up. I'm an emotional reader so I love books that bring out the waterworks and feelings. Highly recommend it.

Annie, so glad you loved it too. I had started to read Loving Mr. Daniels a while back but the teacher/student scenario reminded me too much of Slammed so I put it down as I wasn't that impressed by it. I might get back to it but the writing wasn't as good as it is with this one.
So I finished
and its ehhhhh. Like here's the thing I like it and I don't like it. The writing is what bothers me. It's written in a way where it's more telling than showing and very little dialogue. I just don't like that. Not only that but the characters are supposed to be 21+ and they talk about intimacy as "doing it" sorry most 20 something's don't call it that at all. The characters did a lot of hiding things from each other, even though that was their problem to begin with. Then the heroine is ignoring her instincts about people and trying to force herself to like someone else it was just awful. The downside for me is that I still want to know what the other couples throughout the book are going to go through since they get their own books, however with the way the writing goes I'm not sure I could hang with this series. And yet I want to know. Ugh.
So earlier today I went through my tbrs and made new shelves for things I've read that were in my tbr section. Example I had vampires but I was sick of seeing books I already read and having to sift through them so I made a vampires read shelf. It's so much nicer I did this for vampires, weres/shifters and adult romance. I also did it for paranormal romance but I couldn't finish it because I had to get ready to leave so that one is in progress lol. But it's nice to see I actually have say like 72 books tbr for vampires rather than the 172 it told me or whatever lol.
Mod
Always feel good when cleaning out the bookshelves. I've been meaning to do that for a while now but the amount of books I have is daunting lol

I had to make the new shelf before doing all that but it literally took maybe 5 mins for one shelf not even.
Mod
Yeah it doesn't take long but seems a little daunting that's all cause there are so many books lol
I deleted a bunch of my tbr books the other day because I lost interest but added and 50 more since then. Sigh. I still need to delete some more but there is so many I get tired of scrolling. I decided I'm trying to keep from adding books I own to the tbr list so that cuts it down.

I'm so bad and weening books or trying not to add them lol such an addict am I
Mod
which is horror and I was just going to listen to a little but ended up listening to a lot. It's pretty good, very different.
Mod
True. Everyone has their opinion and not every book is for everyone.

Mod
"Bummer, sorry hon!
Mod
was the next Twilight, so I grabbed it up and dove in last week. Yeah, not so much. It's intriguing and I loved the super creepy Angelfall-type vibe, for sure, but the love story aspect is too flat. There's just no chemistry because the main characters are so one-dimensional and have so little actual time together, and it's a shame because it could have been one of those epic stories that we all read over and over. There's a huge cliffie so I'm going to read the sequel, but I'm not hoping for much. I also finished
for review and really enjoyed it! I often compare her books to her One Week Girlfriend, which I adored, and this one wasn't AS good, but it's still a definite add for the TBR.And now I get to dive into
by our Annie!!! <3
I started reading
yesterday!Liking it very much!
Mod
and I remember this author's writing being so much better. This book is just kind of meh for me and that's disappointing.
Brooke wrote: "I'm reading and I remember this author's writing being so much better. This book is just kind of meh for me and that's disappointing."Oh that's sad to hear, I've loved all her other books. Still, won't stop me from reading it and deciding on my own :)
Mod

Mod

I need to read Champion. I like this story just a little confused with the romance part.
Erin wrote: "Brooke wrote: "50% and I gave up on "Bummer, sorry hon!"
Yup, that sucks. But like you said, different strokes and all that. We all have different tastes. Also, I find you need to be in the mood to read certain books. No biggie though since we have tons of books to read :)
Kouk wrote: "I started reading yesterday!Liking it very much!"
I really enjoyed the Legend trilogy a lot so I'm glad you're enjoying too Kouk.
Erin wrote: "May madness has set in, so things are crazy and I don't have as much reading time. But I saw an advertisement on Facebook saying that was the next Twilight, so I ..."WooHoo! Go Annie! Congratulations on another book. You're a writing machine :)
Erin wrote: "Brooke wrote: "I'm reading and I remember this author's writing being so much better. This book is just kind of meh for me and that's disappointing."Oh ..."
Me too, I hope it's still a decent read. I've enjoyed most of her other books. I still have 2 of her books to get to though.
@Brooke, CONGRTUALATIONS! I loved what you wrote for
woohoo!
Okay I can't remember if I posted this or not LOL! But I finished
and end up liking it a lot. Then I jumped into
which is fantastic and I'm almost done with it. I also finished
which was great. I'm so addicted to these small town romances and Robyn Carr is just fantastic at writing them. She sucks you right into all the wonderful characters she writes and the stories she spins. I'm so glad that all the books/audios are already out for her Virgin River series so I don't have wait for them to come out like I have to for her Thunder Point series.

Helps me to prioritize which books I want to get to sooner rather than later plus delete any of the ones I might not have any interest in reading anymore.

and that's as far as I got. The writing wasn't great and the characters weren't well developed and the stories were sort of meh. The first book was sort of okay so I moved onto book 2 but that was worst so I ended it there. And this series came after The Moreno Brothers so her writing hasn't improved much.....
Danielle (Danniegurl) wrote: "So I finished and its ehhhhh. Like here's the thing I like it and I don't like it. The writing is what bothers me.

But yes, her writing isn't great :(
Mod

The writing seems much more juvenile than I remember. Very bland. I remember loving the first book so much. We shall see what happens, I guess.
