3*** Really a 3.5 for me but not enough to go up to a 4. I REALLY wanted to love this book & overall it was okay. I found my mind wandering during parts of it & would have to read entire pages over. I loved the island and some of the character but felt that it was drawn out. The ending fell a little flat for me.
Thanks for the challenge, Lisa Kay.3/3

✔︎ Halloween: Dead Things by Stephen Blackmoore |★★★| Oct 4
This one was a little too dark for my liking, but it wasn't bad. The writing was very good and the characters are definitely interesting. If you enjoy the darker side of paranormal / supernatural, this is an interesting series to check out.
✔︎End of Summer: Her Second-Chance Family by Holly Jacobs |★★★★| Oct 16
I loved this! It's a very sweet romance between a successful banker and a young woman who has taken in three foster children at a young age. I like how she loved the unconditionally and taught the them about taking responsibility for their actions without going overboard. It's a fast read and just perfect for a quick afternoon read!
Book 2/2 completed! Yay I actually completed early today!! This book has both green on the cover and some of the stories take place in late summer/early fall.

No Good Duke Goes Unpunished by Sarah MacLean |★★★★| Oct 27
I really enjoyed this! The boys were really cute and even though the plot was a bit predictable, I enjoyed the banter between the couple. It was a fun read.

I stole this idea (with permission) from the SOS: Serious Overload of Series group.
Duration: Yes, we are revisiting this challenge, first posted October 2013. October 1st through October 31st.
Rules: Choose two of the three 3 options below. Color may be the predominant color of the book, or a “pop” of color that catches your eye. Holidays are explained. Items may be found on the cover, or the word found within the storyline. Be sure to post your book covers, dates read, and star ratings. You may join at any time during the month. Feel free to do all three, or more, if you want.
Member Choosing: Saxonjus has been a GoodReads member since December, 2012, and a participant of Happily Ever After Café since June, 2013.
She is an avid Historical Fiction fan; the Middle Ages – with all its brutality, bloodthirstyness, scheming & skullduggery – makes her love it all the more. She is also a fan of the Roman Empire and Vikings (more battles, blood & guts – oops! is this a theme?). A dream of hers would be to join a group for real, either Roundheads & Cavaliers, or a Medieval Group! She just has to find one & convince them she is a Lady of the Court – not a poor serf’s wife!
Other interests are Wine Tasting, Cooking Italian or Indian food. She loves to cook for friends & family! A group around the table, eating, drinking, chatting, and sharing... to her is BLISS. In addition, she has two sons immensely proud of, who are both marrying soon. Her short term goal: she wants to be a nice mother-in-law!
