Thanks Yz! So nice when it's summer vacation and the kids don't have to get up so early and I can stay up late reading and not stress about being too tired the next day!

So, i changed my Y entry in order for it to work with another challenge.
About Untamed, i can say i like some Nora Roberts books, but i absolutely love her In Death series, written under the JD Robb penname. Untamed was ok, but i didn't like the circus references, i hate the animal exploitation and animal cruelty and find the new type of circus, like cirque du soleil much more to my taste. Also, the ending was a little bit disappointing(if you've read it you know what i'm talking about, if you didn't i wouldn't want to spoil it for you).

J - Jasper Fforde - Shades of Grey: The Road to High Saffron - 7/5****
U - Untamed- Nora Roberts - 7/8***
L - Lacey Alexander - Voyeur
Y - Amanda Young - Something More

Lol it depends on the book if it's one I am really excited about and have been waiting for it to come out he decides it would be "fun" to distract me... He comes within an inch of his life lol
