I am frustrated with this. I'm 30% and NOTHING has happened, except the MC pining for a guy she does not know at all. It's so annoying. Not sure how much longer I'll give it. Disappointed because I like this author.

I finished
it was great! Next I'm going to start
I'm super excited over this one as it sounds really good so I'm hoping for the best :)
43% into
and it just doesn't seem to be holding my interest. I should know the plot, I don't. I should see something happening between these two characters (besides all this heat she feels when they touch), I really don't. I just read a chapter where I thought there would be a breakthrough, there wasn't. I give it to 50% and then I will probably be done. I hate to DNF, b/c I feel like I've done it so much this year. I don't know why I'm so picky lately!

I'm sorry, that sucks Brooke :( it's probably not you because if nothing noteworthy has happened in a story by 50% of the book, then I'm sorry but no. Just no. unfortunately I hate when we get stuck with a dull book. We feel so cheated!

too! On audio :) At the moment I paused
because I'm not really liking the main character. :/ But I'm not about half way through
and it's fun :D

Finished
and it was very cute. Classic Sophie Kinsella, with strange situations and a few crazyish people, but a really fun quick read!

52% into it and I think I have to give up. Chatting with a friend who finished it and pushed herself to do so.

this morning and I'm enjoying so far. Very interesting and the audio is nicely narrated hopefully we'll end up liking it.

GAH! I hope so. I will read another chapter or two, but it doesn't seem promising if my friend said she pushed herself. If I don't DNF, then my rating will be low, probably not more than 2.5.

The problem is life is so crazy these days that I can only read in short bursts which makes getting into a book harder. Maybe tonight after the kids are asleep.

Reading
and it's good, but not great. I love most of her other books. This one just isn't doing it for me though. I will finish and then I'm not sure what to start next.

I finished
and liked it a lot, the writing and story were great and looking forward to the next book. Not sure what I'm diving into next since I've got so many options but not sure what I'm in the mood for at this very minute :)
I am trying to finish off some series off my shelf. Trying to read
but I can't. I realize it's a YA but it's so juvenile and full of BS angst. I can't believe it's the same author who wrote The Summer I Turned Pretty, I guess I can because of the love triangles but still.....I think I'm gonna have to shelve it despite the 4-5 star ratings. It must be written for 12 year olds.

Yes, I can already tell I love it. I'm 30% in and there's lots of action. I'm so curious to see what's going on. At least I already have an idea of the plot, I still didn't know the plot from the other book and I was 60% in.

Ugh! I mean come on! And I had my suspicions that that was the case with this particular book when I read the book blurb, but still. And it has such high ratings! Thanks for confirming that my gut instincts on this one were right on queue Tiana.
I couldn't decide what to read next after finishing Radiance but finally decided to jump into
so I can finish off this fantastic series :)
Belkis wrote: "I finished

I've read so many that have just been okay lately. I'm ready for the next great one! I think I'll go with my fav go-to author when I'm in a slump and start

Kelly wrote: "just finished
. It was... interesting"Oh I really loved this book Kelly. Such an interesting concept. The author is releasing a second book for this story
I'm looking forward to it.
@belkis, yeah I liked the first half, but then it felt to me like he was trying too hard to cram as many issues as possible into one book. sexuality, self identity, obesity, mental health, I felt it would have better if he trimmed down on the issues addressed a little bit, it wouldn't have felt as forced. the concept was cool though and overall I still liked it. not really looking forward to the new one though cuz it sounds like its another same story, different perspective book
Just finished
which was a cute rom-com I guess it's called. Still working on
and I'm starting to really enjoy it. So many books, so little time.

I'm 40% into
and I am bored. So far, I don't like Christian as much as I did when reading from Ana's POV.
I've been slacking big time in my reading. Mostly because I can't seem to finish a book. Gonna start
, she is my new go to author.

I'm hoping that book 2 brings newness to the story. I'll wait to see what readers say as far as reviews and rating before deciding whether or not to dive into it or not.
So the library just informed me that
is available for me to pick up. I just checked out
and
and am also reading
. I think I've bitten off more than I can chew.

See, this is why I won't read it. I was bored with the second book and pushed myself to finish. I never read the last book. I don't think I'd be happy with this since I've heard it's really just a rehashing of the first book, without anything new. And some of the quotes I've seen from it are sketchy at best. So I will pass. But there are people who really liked it.

Haven't had a lot of reading time lately, but I did finish Keri's new one

Currently working on
