NetGalley January 2018

Lol yes it’s hard when in a team reading challenge and you have to scramble to find books that fit. !

Well, I "finished" one book this month. I read When I Wake Up, but dnf at 29%. It's gotten decent ratings, but it just wasn't for me. It started out well, then there was a lot of sex thrown in that seemed to be mostly just for the sex factor, not to improve the story in any way. The husband was annoying and I struggled getting through his chapters. Then, there was an angry ex-girlfriend and an obsessive wanna-be girlfriend and I was pretty much done. I don't know who the attacker is and I just don't really care. There were too many characters that were just a bit over the top in for me.

Sorry, bit of a rant there. That paragraph is longer than my review. lol

lol Kristie. Maybe you should just make that your review ;)

[Kristie]

Haha! No kidding! It's a bit of a rant. Funny thing is, I didn't think that I really disliked the book until I was writing that. lol I felt kind of bad giving up on it.

Great progress Melanie! I've been slow to read and review recently and really want to pick it up and move a bunch of books off my shelf.

Karen - You have to go backwards some months or you'd end up with no books on your shelf and nothing to read!
