[Dee]

Katie - did you like inking aaron?? i used it as well, but it was too short, I felt like there was soo much more that could have been said/done...but it had a good premise

[Katie]

hey dee :) -- i was waffling between 2 and 3 stars...ended up going with 3. it left me feeling kind of 'meh', you know? like you said, it was really short and underdeveloped.

[Dee]

yeah...it was too short...I think only like 70-odd pages...if it had been more developed I think it had potential, but I liked the authors writing style, so might check out more of hers in the future

[Katie]

me too. i almost always give an author a couple chances just in case i pick up a fluke. i read 'tall, mean and darkly' by aj llewellyn and stephani hecht and really didn't care for it. later, i checked out aj's 'a vampire in waikiki' and stephani's 'primal passions' and really enjoyed both :)

Does anyone on the Bday list have: Riding the Storm by Sidney Croft, Sizzlin' Sixteenby Janet Evanovich, Tail Spin b Catherine Coulter, Burning Lamp by Amanda Quick or Poisn Study by Maria Snyder n their list?

I don't have time to go through all those lists and those are books I've already read or need to read this weekend for PBS games.

So I thought I'd ask to see if anyone on the list and doing the challenge has one.
