Trea & Jodi - Hearts and Crafts Series

1. Start Me Up

[⚜️XAR]

Yay! Set to start this whenever you want to!

[Jodi]

I can start this in a few days, does that work for you? I started another book for a different challenge. If not, I can wait until you are ready.

Sure, I can start it in a couple of days. I've got another Buddy Read scheduled for the 10th, so if we can get to this before then, that would be awesome!

[Jodi]

I can start reading this tomorrow, does that work for you? I will finish my other book tonight.

Yup, I should finish my book tonight too, so I can start tomorrow.

[⚜️XAR]

I finished it last night. It was ok, probably going to round it up to a three star rating. I liked the idea of the blog, but I didn't like how Anne kept (view spoiler)[trying to hide how much her blog meant to her/how big of a deal it was. I could understand it if she was an intensely private person, but she wasn't, and it seemed like she wanted to have two separate lives: one for the blog and one for reality. She couldn't accept that someone would want those two personas blended into one and it made me not like Anne as much (hide spoiler)].

I don't know if I would buy the rest of the series...I'm interested in reading it, just didn't like this one well enough to spend the money on it just yet.

[Jodi]

This book has been slow reading for me. I like the story but I just haven't been into it enough to to want to read it. (Sigh). I am plugging along, sorry it's taking me so long.

No worries, it was kind of slow going for me too!

[Jodi]

I finished this Thursday night. It was ok for me, gave a 3 star rating. The book was slow moving at first but did get better as it went on. I liked how real Mike seemed to be. Also, he seemed to have a better grasp of his feelings than Anne.

I agree! Will you continue the series?

[Jodi]

Yes, I had the second book checked out before I realized it was a series. the second book sounded better to me anyways.

I can get the second book from my library, so I'll read it with you. Want to try to fit it in this month or wait for next month?

I have checked out now. If you get caught up on your other Buddy Reads let me know. We can start reading this anytime.

I'm in the middle of Heir of Fire's buddy read right now. Haven't heard anything about the others yet, but I'll let you know when I finish Heir if I have Win Me Over yet or not.

[⚜️XAR]

I've gotten my copy of Win Me Over from the library as of yesterday. However, I'm still in the middle of Heir of Fire and one of my other buddy reads is starting Monday. Want to say Wednesday for this one? I should have one of the other books finished by then!

[Jodi]

Wednesday will work for me.

[Jodi]

I'm starting Win me over tonight because I finished my other book (and I need something to read before I go to bed). I hope you can still start the book tomorrow. ;)

I started it last night as well! Didn't get far, but I already don't like Cassie's Mom!

[Jodi]

I didn't like her first appearance either but the second time she grew on me. I love Eric! When he and Callie have mind/look conversations that go back and forth. Lol. I am about halfway through the book.

[⚜️XAR]

I'm only on page 45 or so. I didn't get much reading time in, and used it to finish a book I had started while in the middle of Heir of Fire. I hope to catch up today!

[Jodi]

I finished the book last night. I thought this book was better than the first; much more emotional. my big complaint, as always with the author, the situation seems to get rectified quickly and bam, end of book. Even with rgat I will read the last oart when it comes out this Winter.

I finished it last night too...but I thought it was as good as the first, maybe slightly below it. Bennett was a complete jerk!

The third book is already out, Jodi. I've got it on Interlibrary Loan Request, and it's on its way to me currently. I won't be able to read it until May though.

[Jodi]

I read the third book was due out Winter 2016 and assumed it was later this year. I reserved it from the library and should have a copy soon. Hit me up in May when you are ready. I am starting the Off Campus series, so I have something to keep me busy!

LOL, no worries, and I will!

[Jodi]

Draw me Close came in. I can start it anytime after Tuesday.

Want to run it right after Fully Ignited, which I had suggested for Wednesday?

[⚜️XAR]

I'm a little over 100 pages in, and Lindsey's attitude has gotten real old. She's starting to thaw at this point, which feels sudden, but I'm also thinking the relationship will be rushed because of this.

Derek is a complete jerk, and I don't blame Lindsey for treating him the way she does! If there was ever a couple I don't want to see get together, it's this one!

[Jodi]

I started the book last night but didnt get very far. Lindsey seems very cold hearted and bitchy.

[⚜️XAR]

Jodi wrote: "I started the book last night but didnt get very far. Lindsey seems very cold hearted and bitchy."

I agree! I'm not sure the author can recover this...she's really dislikable!

[⚜️XAR]

I really hated this book! Lindsay has too many issues to be in a relationship with Derek, and treated him like dirt for most of the book. Their romance just was not believable!

Did Fully Ignited come in for you yet? If not, I can read a few other things and come back to it next Wednesday. I've got a BR starting on the 8th, so I won't be able to do anything after then until I finish it.
