On a scale of 1-5... um 2-2.5? The heroine is competent so there is no saving her, and he doesnt go dumb. They definitely have bigger issues. :P

*Hanging my head in shame* Yes sweetie I know! How can this be?! I have so many books to get to *sigh* so so many. There's just too many great books to read Tracy. And let me just say that I get through quite a few books a month/year. But I can't seem to read fast enough LOL!

I know Belkis and it is sad indeed. We must get our town built or all the wonderful books will go unread for eternity. Sad indeed.

I know what you mean. It should have been much more heavy with emotions. But funny worked for me just fine. :D

Halfway through and can't put it down. I'm loving it. :)

Nice? NICE?!! OMG Esther, you are freaking me out! Please tell me you meant to say spectacular HEA or awesome HEA or anything else that involves HEA!
Erin wrote: "Ekaterine wrote: "Reading and ."Ashfall was really good! Very long books, but such an original story."
Yeah, it's really long. Even though, there is minimum amount of action it's not boring. I love how realistic it is.

Yes, yes. Don't worry, it's a great HEA. You'll love it.

SOOOOOOO....when I was at the HT Blogger breakfast, we were talking a bit about Drowned with the senior editor and I kind of mentioned you, just a bit.... :)
Bridget wrote: "Finished up some new ones that I recently got: and . All were pretty good. Now trying to decide what..."Good lineup you got through Bridget :) I plan on reading All Lined UP & Frenched soon. Aiming both for this month.
Ekaterine wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Ekaterine wrote: "Reading and ."Oh I really liked These Broken Stars. Hope you you enjoy it :) I'm looking forwar..."
Yes, Ekaterine! I so loved the fact that These Broken Stars is completely standalone. The story is fantastic and the writing is wonderful and best of all it's all resolved by the end of the book. So I'm very very excited to read book 2 for this series from this author because she's probably going to be continuing in the same route with the books in this series, which I'm super excited over!!
I'm currently reading

Finished
which was a great start to a series. Now reading
and enjoying it so far.

Sara wrote: "Finished which was a great start to a series. Now reading and enjoying it so far."Oh awesome Sara! I'm somewhere in the middle and really liking it a lot. And also planning on reading Loving Mr. Daniels later this month too :) please let us know how you like it. Hoping for a good read with this one.

Hate it when books start to drag.

Personally, I would say move it to the very end of your TBR list. It has amazing reviews but I really don't know why. It's organized in a way that, 8 chapters in, I feel like the story is over and yet I still have 9 chapters left.
It literally has only 2 or 3 goodreads reviews that give it 2-or-less stars, so I feel really horrible that I dislike it so much.
Breesc23 wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Breesc23 wrote: "I'm currently reading ... It's not so great. I'm struggling to get through. Maybe it'll change as I finish it...."I have this one ..."
This is really not that uncommon. I've had this happen to me too, with many books. Maybe it's not for you, you know?? That's how I've chosen to deal with these situations. Because the other readers that have rated high obviously like it. So, to be fair to both the writers and the readers I choose to think that it's simply not a book for me :) Hey, different makes the world go around.
Belkis wrote: "Ekaterine wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Ekaterine wrote: "Reading and ."Oh I really liked These Broken Stars. Hope you you enjoy it :) ..."
I wish others would follow that path and stop dragging series around. Sometimes it's so good to read standalone and not to worry about cliffhangers and sequels. Oh, the writing and the story are both wonderful. And watching character growth just plain pleasure. I'm loving it. Absolutely brilliant!
Sara wrote: "Finished which was a great start to a series. Now reading and enjoying it so far."Loving Mr. Daniels is next in line for me. Last student/teacher story I read was Unteachable and loved it. I'm really looking forward to this one. Let me know how you like it.
Ekaterine wrote: "Sara wrote: "Finished which was a great start to a series. Now reading and enjoying it so far."Loving Mr. Daniel..."
Oh Ekaterine, I still need to get to Unteachable too. Another one I have lined up for this month so I'm very excited and even more since you loved it :)
Belkis wrote: "Ekaterine wrote: "Sara wrote: "Finished which was a great start to a series. Now reading and enjoying it so far."..."
Oh, it so good, Belkis! Maise (the MC) is so honest and unlikable I fell in love with her on the first page. I think I rated it 4 stars but totally deserves 5. I just had a bit of a problem with Evan, he creeped me out. I might be in the minority but couldn't really fall for his character. But the story is raw and beautiful and not at all sugar coated. I hope you will enjoy it!
Ekaterine wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Ekaterine wrote: "Sara wrote: "Finished which was a great start to a series. Now reading and enjoyi..."Oh I'm SO reading this one this month!! Thanks Ekaterine even more super excited now :D
I'm totally loving
which I started listening to earlier today. I'm already in love with West on the 2 MCs :) and Caroline is likeable too so far so this is probably going to be a good read I can feel it!!

It had great reviews but I pained my way through it. It just wasn't a book for me I guess.
