I read so many fabulous books last month! The Lightning-Struck Heart was hilarious and got me through a tough week! Deadly Descent was narrated by one of my absolute favorites, Kaleo Griffith, and reminded me how much I enjoy Kaylea Cross! The Trouble with Mistletoe was delightful and a great start to some holiday reading! The two In Death books were great as usual too. But probably the best, and that might be because it was the last one I read, was Slow Burn! Pamela Clare can do no wrong in my book - I love how she writes and this new series is so wonderful!!No duds for me this month! =)
Oooh yeah! I had a shocker in November, and one that was wonderful :DThe good stuff:
by Kim Fielding. The precis hadn't particularly interested me, but I'd recently read another great Fielding book and this was one of two options rec'd to my in a challenge. So I backed KF. What a wonderfully well-put together story. I just loved it. 5 stars!The not-so-good:
by Joyee Flynn read for a challenge. What a waste of time. The story was random and all over the place; the characters were caricatures and bad ones at that; toooo much stupid and nothing of interest. 1 star.
Wow, from one extreme to the other!
My favorite read of November was
. I really enjoy a road-trip romance, and this one was a really good read. We even got a little glimpse of the couple from the first in the series, so bonus!My least favorite was
. Very disappointing. I enjoyed some of the others in the series, but the hero in this one was just unlikable for me.
Fran, you had the same experience as Jane!
My fave was
It was a perfect end to the MORGANS OF NASHVILLE seriesMy least fave
She joined the nurses core during WWII to find her missing brother...the whole book was about her and the patients she took care of, she did nothing to find her brother that was MIA.
My only 5-star book this month was, of course, Eve and Roarke:
A surprise for me was our F2F book club book--I rated it 4.5 stars:
My least favorite was a YA--I rated it 2.5 stars:
. The only consolation was that it was a very quick read.

I love seeing what everyone enjoyed, but it is also helpful to know what to avoid! =P

I know I can get so focused on what is next that I forget about all the wonderful books I read for the previous month's challenges! I can't even believe it is December already?!
