Michelle | 1610 comments I think I'm having a cranky book month. Nothing I pick up seems all that good even if I've been jonesing to read these books for sometime.

1st Book

The First book I attempted was

The Girls by Emma Cline

This was a DNF. This was all over the place, but I kept listening until a passage came up that made me go:

Ok..eww.

I really did not need to hear how someone's room smelled like masturbation. I'm not a prude, trust me, but the context this was used in just made it seem like it was only used for the shock value. I also did not need to hear about the main character rubbing her hoo-ha over every surface just so she can get her rocks off. I hate to use the word stupid, but this is pretty much the best description I can give this book.

2nd Book Attempt

Strange the Dreamer (Strange the Dreamer, #1) by Laini Taylor

This was a DNF and that made me super sad and I read nothing for the next 5 days. I love Laini Taylor and I was 100 % sure I would love this book. Sadly, I did not love this book. It wasn't horrible, per se, but I could not get into it. I tried, oh I tried, but it bored me to tears and I wasn't feeling it.

I have one book left to try and I hope I can get to it before the end of the month.


Danielle  Gypsy Soul (afdaniellet) | 1928 comments I read Hot Seat. This was a hard one to rate for me. It's a Fantastic Coming Out Story but the romance didn't really work for me and felt like it was VERY secondary to this story.

I also read Marked by Death and I really enjoyed it - Definitely going to continue this series!

Diane ~Firefly~ | 461 comments Karen - I finished two of my picks and really enjoyed them, thanks for the push.

Another One Bites the Crust (A Bakeshop Mystery, #7) by Ellie Alexander Fated Blades (Kinsmen, #3) by Ilona Andrews


message 65: by Penumbra (new)

Penumbra | 490 comments I finished them all.

Let's Connect by Kelly Jensen - I gave 2 Stars. It was a flat and laborious read. I didn't like either MC.

Bodyguard to a Sex God (Bodyguards Inc. #1) by R.J. Scott - 3 Stars. This had loads of grammar errors, could've used more betas or a better proofer/editor. It also ended at 90% with the rest ads. I don't like books that end like that.

and Baker's Dozen (The Soul Mutts Series Book 1) by Lori R. Taylor - 4 Stars. Chick Lit with dogs. It wasn't the best written, but the plot kept moving. Loved the pov from Baker, the dog. Cute fluffy read. I plan on reading the rest of the series.
