May 2016 Finish What You've Started (Series) Challenge

[Kay (Brigidsmomma)]

Ok, so last night I got on a kick, and finished the last two books in the Allie Griffin series, even though I posted (see above) that I wasn't sure I'd get to them... they were more interesting than the other series I have to read for another group's challenge, so.... :)

I remember loving the first of these and hating the second. I know the world thinks these are wonderful, but it just didn't do it for me and I abandoned it.

BUT you gave it 4 stars so I'm interested to know how you like book three. Not that I'll pick it up again :)

Debbie (Doc) I was able to complete the two books above in the series. It was hard to get back into this series since I put it down a while ago- hard to remember where all the characters fit. I still love Levet and think it is hilarious no matter what book he is in all the heroes hate him, lol. Once back into it I enjoyed both of these. I will read the next one next month and will probably try to do one a month so I don't get lost again ~ thanks for the pick :)

I need to get back to this series as well!

@ Debbie (Doc)The farther in you go - it's harder to keep track of (at least to me) what all is actually taking place at the same time with the different groups/couples etc - still interesting though

Theo,

I finished . I enjoy this series - it isn't one I love but I do like it. The whole group of friends is a little "Clicky" to me and very biased against outsiders but I like the main characters and the writing is good. I'm sure I'll continue on with this series and hope to get it all finished in the next few months. Thanks for the picks.
