What Are You Reading Right Now Part 2
LOL Victoria!
Lots of pirate books this last month, love me some pirate books! And I keep meaning to read My Sister's Keeper, I've heard its really good!

Jonathan is a STITCH, we loved meeting him!!! I have so many of his books signed now, but I'll probably try to pick up one or two more just to have an excuse to chat with him!
So I kind of fell off my Readathon wagon. I finished 3 books, which I mentioned earlier in the threads:
4 stars, 5 stars, 5 stars respectively.
I'm still reading
and I'm really not motivated to finish, but I need to so I don't have it hanging over my head! Also reading
which I'm really liking, its just going to take me awhile to get through.
Needed a bit of a break, so read a really fun quick read:
4 stars
Going to be starting
today I think. My OwlCrate book club is reading it right now, so I thought why not?

Yeah, My Sister's Keeper was really good. I've seen the movie too and really enjoyed that. I enjoyed the book more though.
I'm working on a pirate themed adventure story myself, and some of those pirate books I read in November were on my brothers list of books you must read if you plan to write about pirates. He insists I can't write about pirates until I've caught up on reading certain books.
I'm reading
. It's definitely keeping my attention. I needed a small break from sci-fi which is unusual for me.
And I'm listening to
on audio and I'm surprised at how much I'm enjoying it. I didn't think I'd like a western.

And I'm listening to


I just started The Foxe And The Hound by R.S. Grey today!!!! I need a good RomCom after that long book I just finished to cheer me up with a good laugh!

Sorry I haven't been around lately! Beau's bday, work, writing, etc. Crazy busy but it's been good. And I HAVE been reading. I finished
a decent read. Started both
and
BOTH are good so it's hard to decide which to focus on :) A good problem to have!





Hope Beau had a fun birthday.




ACOTAR is slow going. It's been ok, b..."
I kind of liked ACOTAR. I don't mind insta-love. I think there are tons of people who "fall in love at first sight". Might not be the smartest thing to do in real life, but it still happens. I hated the sequel. ACOMAF just pissed me off. I had no desire to keep reading the series after that book. It's classified as YA, but totally isn't. That's not the authors fault though. That's not the reason I didn't like it though. I just didn't like how the good guy turned bad and the bad guy turned good. It wasn't believable to me.
Books I've recently finished:
4 stars. I didn't like it quite as much as the first 2 in the series, but still a good mystery. One more left to read in this series!
4.5 stars. I really am loving this series! Its a great world the author has built.
4 stars. Very solid, enjoyable read. I loved the concept, and the plot moved fast. And really interesting characters! All of them flawed, some deeply so.
Next I'm reading

All the money (as in 100%) collected by One America will be passed directly to five local charities in Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, bypassing some of the larger national charities that sometimes seem to spend more on administrative costs and salaries than they do helping people in need.

Not sure what to pick up after these 2. I'm a bit behind on my GR challenge so I need to read a couple of short books next to stay on target. I read too many LONG books this year including the Game of Throne books and Stephen King's IT. That put me behind. ;)
I should finish my audio of

And I think I'm longing for the year to be over, because I had to edit this comment after publishing it and noticing I'd called it my December review post instead.
