Chris K. | 1404 comments So Girls you prefer Funny smut story ...
My guilty pressure is dark romance . I don't know how or why I started this obsession but these types ruined every romance for me after then


message 40: by Vega_girl (new)

Vega_girl | 6624 comments I don't like dark romance it puts me in a weird mood the whole time!! I haven't read Jessica Sorensen in over a year because it's so hard!!

Vega_girl | 6624 comments Chris wrote: "how?"

I think because I get so into the characters like after I read Breaking Nova my heart hurt for DAYS!!!! and the whole Sometimes Never series tried to kill me I think!! I just hate seeing or feeling people go through pain...

See and paranormal romance is one of my favorites!!!

I have a hard time with dystopia too. I guess fantasy too. The closest I came to liking anything like that was The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1) by Suzanne Collins Catching Fire (The Hunger Games, #2) by Suzanne Collins Mockingjay (The Hunger Games, #3) by Suzanne Collins and I've read some paranormal a but nothing's really stuck with me. I end up finishing it simply on principle


message 46: by Chris (new)

Chris K. | 1404 comments oh that sucks . I love dystopia but it also don't stick with me afterwards


message 47: by Vega_girl (last edited Jan 19, 2015 10:01AM) (new)

Vega_girl | 6624 comments Dystopia Always sticks with me!!! So many books have literally changed my little habits!! Lol!! My husband thinks I'm crazy!! You guys should read Kahayatle (Apocalypsis, #1) by Elle Casey this book literally haunted me!!! It was so graphic and scary and all I could think is .....this could really happen people are that stupid, that this could really happen!!!!


message 48: by Chris (last edited Jan 19, 2015 12:14PM) (new)

Chris K. | 1404 comments i'm checking this
