What Are You Reading? 2015
, Okay 131 pages read (37 percent) and it's still boring! I even dread going to my Kindle to continue reading it. I'll have to put it aside. It's also too depressing.There goes my challenge for a book with the word "poison" in it, but I'll live.

Well, can't you fix it or something?

I actually stopped it in the first chapter I think Brooke. As soon as the female MC, Olivia?? I think her name is?? disclosed what she just found out about herself. The first scene in the florist shop. My emotional state with my brother being sick right now, didn't put me in a good place to enjoy this story so I set it aside until another time.

I can see why.
The story line is not my issue, though. I just can't connect with the characters. I put it down and I'm reading
for a blog tour and then I'll go back to it. It's making me sad not to like it because I loved Alex so much. And two people have definitely told me to stick with it (my one friend said she dropped her spoon in the middle of a scene about 75% in the other day so I figure it's got good in it somewhere, yes?).HUGS to you.
Mod
All of the above...
I'm about to put
in my cannot finish pile and move on to something else. I did want to mention to you guys that I saw that
was on sale for .99 today. I haven't read it but I think it's been pretty popular here if I remember correctly.

A great combination. The next book comes out November 5th! I cannot wait! Oh and Sweet Evil...huh. I pushed myself to finish it and ended up liking it. But I didn't like the second third book so much. I haven't read Kai's POV yet, but I have it.

I finished reading this in about 3 days (breaks in between). It wasn't a bad read, but things were a bit confusing a lot of the time and it all seemed to conclude pretty quickly. I think it would appeal more to younger readers
Currently reading
and liking it so far.

Good to know. This is a series, though. So does it end like it will go into the next book?
Brooke wrote: "Jodie wrote: "Brooke wrote: "Jodie wrote: "i'm gonna start a little later. Has anyone read it?"I haven't read it but I do own it. I'll be interest..."
Yes how it left off you know there's more to come - probably more world building and hopefully answers to all the questions that have been raised in this first book. It doesn't end on a cliffhanger so I think that it can also be read as a stand-alone if you don't mind having some questions left unanswered.

I'm about a third of the way through
- absolutely loving it so far!!

Thanks Brooke :) I'll probably get back to Garrett later on though.
Belkis wrote: "Brooke wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Brooke wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Finished and loved it now starting yum LOL!"I'll be interested to ..."
Yeah, I passed Garrett and went straight to Zack. It was good - a little heavier than Alex, but good. ;)

I have a question - are the Cold Fury books and Pucked more on a level with something like
or more like
?? I am not a huge fan of contemporary stuff (fantasy is my go to) and I'm really not into full on erotica, but I really loved the light-hearted romance in The Gamble Brothers books so if either of the above series are on a similar wavelength I'm thinking I will like them also (also I'm a big hockey fan, not sure how much that has to do with things lol)If it helps, other romance series I love are IAD and LotU. I also enjoyed BDB but found it a bit too intense at times

Mod

Brooke wrote: "Ash wrote: "Donna wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Brooke wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Brooke wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Finished and loved it now starting [bookcover:Garrett|23..."I'd have to agree, although it's not really like that either. But closer to that than 50. Alex and Zack were good. Can't wait to get to Ryker. But Pucked is in a class of it's own. Super funny - an off type of humor. I think you'll really enjoy it.
Brooke wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Donna wrote: "Brooke wrote: "Teresa wrote: "I'm about to put in my cannot finish pile and move on to something else. I did want to mention to you guys..."LOL! Okay then I will :D
So for 99cents and everybody's rave reviews
was too good to pass up so I bought it and put it on my TBR. I have a book I promised someone to finish that I need to get to first, then I think I'll read Pucked after that
Teresa wrote: "So for 99cents and everybody's rave reviews was too good to pass up so I bought it and put it on my TBR. I have a book I promised someone to finish that I need to get to ..."Yay. Its a hoot. Enjoy!
Donna wrote: "Brooke wrote: "Ash wrote: "Donna wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Brooke wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Brooke wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Finished and loved it now starting [bookc..."Great, thanks guys I'll check them out - really for 99c I can't really go wrong lol

Finished this one! It's absolutely wonderful! I haven't read any of Rachel Vincent's other books but I'll definitely be moving them up my tbr! I listened to the audio which was done by the same narrator who does the Study books and its a really good performance.
One thing that didn't bother me but might bother others is the POV - it jumped around between first person chapters by the MC and third person from others, and even though the chapters had character names as headings, the narration actually seemed more omni when in third than close third. Personally I thought it all pulled together well, but it's something that might bother others.
Now I'm onto
which has been on my tbr for at least two years...time to get through some of those books!

was really good. At first I thought it was like BDB for some reason, but it totally wasn't so I enjoyed it. :)
