Reading Sprint - May 2019

[Saarah]

I'm reading it! It's good and I wonder how long his 'act' will last and what his defence would be.... I'd hate to be her, baring it all like that. Trusting him...

I've finished Meet Me There.

Final Progress update: 4/7

Don't read the spoiler if you're in love w/ this book or haven't read it yet.

My thoughts It's corny, but also with a little suspense. Some parts are weird- like when (view spoiler)[ she thinks their conversations are 'scuba-diving' deep and they're really not. That reminded me of John Green because he often chooses to be existential at the wrong moment or he takes it too far e.g. Turtles All the Way Down

But that was only at the beginning, after that I couldn't get over the deceit. If you're going to trust someone with stuff no one else is privy to, you're taking a great risk. She didn't reveal too much but still... That's not the point.

I wanted to know why they were rivals, his reason was too 'stupid-boyish' but why did Ashlyn carry on w/ pranks? Seemed too immature for her character.

His British Boy responses in the lab weren't exactly insightful either. Just stuff your mom might say, even a friend... E.g. don't let any1 treat you like garbage. And yet she fell for him.

Also there are a lot of British accents and believe me, not all are pretty!

I was expecting You've Got Mail kind of cosy. This had more vulnerable bits and corny but often cringy one-liners but I guess it was fairly good on its own. Didn't like that he had to have a concussion/ brush with death to be forgiven. I give 3* (hide spoiler)]

Now, if you're in love with this book (@Karen), I recommend Alex, Approximately Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Will definitely read the sequel as I like the main couple in that one!

@Saarah You're on a roll!

[Saarah]

I'm ill too, right now (a bad cold, didn't sleep much until I knocked out- makes me feel like I can't do anything else. No energy, besides I'm fasting... So, there's more time to read. And I got a better reading app which loads quickly and doesn't crash like my Kindle... so I'm more motivated too!

Believe me, this is rare even for me! :D

[Aqsa, Dracarys!]

Haha, it's still good :) Yeah, fasting itself is busy work. I hope you get well soon :) Which new app? I like this rare :)

[Saarah]

PDF viewer. By the Librera company. It means I can access every file e.g. my mobi files through it instead of the Kindle App. I wish I had discovered it sooner! I sort of had the random idea to look for a better reading app. Didn't know so many existed! It's comfortable to use too so it's not like an office/work app. Perfect Kindle replacement. Works on Android and Amazon Kindle Fires, not sure about other devices.

What do you use for reading digitally?

[Aqsa, Dracarys!]

That sounds great :) I don't use any, but I'll try this one :) Kindle has limited options where I'm from!

Just in case anyone want's to read:
Review If Cats Disappeared from the World

And I still want to reread, but here's my original review (short) of
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy in case anyone wants to talk about it, I think I'm going to try to read all of the books in the series.
