message 662: by Yz the Whyz, Moderator (new)

Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments I finished Playing for Keeps (A Neighbor from Hell, #1) by R.L. Mathewson last Aug. 29. Despite being overly silly, this book was inexplicably engrossing that I finish it quickly. Plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, and if you don't take it too seriously, it will leave you feeling warm and light-hearted. 4 stars for a great fluffy read.

Dragana (diaryofthebookdragon) Playing for Keeps by R.L. Mathewson ★★★★ 04.09.
Ditto on everything Yz said. :)

Playing for Keeps Perfection ★★★ 05.09.
I managed to finish the next book in series the next day. A little bit paler than the first, but still entertaining enough that I will read the third one when it is published.


message 664: by Vi (new)

Vi | 2794 comments I'm going to read I Hunt Killers (Jasper Dent, #1) by Barry Lyga for this list. It'll fit another challenge.


message 665: by Irina (new)

Irina (reetu_416) | 504 comments I'm going to read The Vincent Boys (The Vincent Boys, #1) by Abbi Glines for this challenge.


message 666: by Yvonne (new)

Yvonne (selana) I finished The Maze Runner (Maze Runner, #1) by James Dashner last night, the first book since The Hunger Games that I read in one go, a solid 5 stars from me.

Great for everyone who likes YA dystopian novels, very well written, surprising plot that's not predictable at all. I'll definitely read more in this series


message 667: by Fran, Moderator (new)

Fran | 12278 comments I finished Putting Makeup on the Fat Boy by Bil Wright today 9/9. I enjoyed it for the most part. There were a few issues in the story that I wish hadn't gone uresolved, but it was well-written and the characters interesting. 3.5*


message 668: by Irina (new)

Irina (reetu_416) | 504 comments I finished reading The Vincent Boys (The Vincent Boys, #1) by Abbi Glines . Even though I am not a huge fan of books where a character cheats on their partner this book kept me hooked, if anything i found it too short :p Will be looking forward to reading more books by this author.

4.5 on 5 Stars


message 669: by Ty (last edited Sep 21, 2012 12:23PM) (new)

Ty  | 1943 comments finished The Vincent Boys (The Vincent Boys, #1) by Abbi Glines on 9/19. 3 ★s (closer to 2.5). I find it REALLY hard to sympathize with characters who cheat, particularly ones with silly, unbelievable "justifications" for their actions. Even still, despite the crappy editing and grammar as found in many self-published e-books, the story was decently written.


message 670: by Yvonne (new)

Yvonne (selana) I read both The Scorch Trials (Maze Runner, #2) by James Dashner and The Death Cure (Maze Runner, #3) by James Dashner for The Maze Runner as well - the books just had drawn me in and I had to know what would happen next. 5 stars for every one of them.

Everyone who loved The Hunger Games, you should read this too. And if you haven't read the Hunger Games either, you should read both trilogies.


message 671: by Ren Puspita (new)

Ren Puspita (renpuspita) I just finish Playing for Keeps (A Neighbor from Hell, #1) by R.L. Mathewson . Definitely ★★★★★! I agree with what Yz said, its a nice and fluffy read. The clue to enjoy it, is don't think to much its so simple,lol! Both character are cute and adorable :)


message 672: by Vi (new)

Vi | 2794 comments I finished I Hunt Killers today, 21 Sep. I usually don't like serial killers as a main character but the premise was interesting enough. Jasper is the main character and is interesting enough with a surprising depth of character. The events at the end of the book make me want to pick up the next book. I rated it 4 stars.

Suzanne (esmerelda1) | 2244 comments Random Book List #96

I read After by Amy Efaw. This book was really intense! I didn't think I would enjoy this book but I ended up really liking it! This book is very similar to Room in that it starts AFTER the traumatic experience for the main character. This story starts the day after she dumped her baby in a trash can. It's very interesting to see how the main character examines the past year of her life and works through her denial and the consequences of her actions. Definately worth reading! Five Stars!!

Thanks for the review! This is one I have thought about reading, but wasn't sure. I think I will give it a try now.

Dragana (diaryofthebookdragon) This Side of the Grave At Grave's End by Jeaniene Frost ★★★★
Finished it yesterday. It's nice addition to the series, good world & character building and a lot of new characters. If you liked the previous Night Huntress books, you are going to like this one too.


message 684: by Yz the Whyz, Moderator (new)

Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments Forgot to post. I finished Just the Sexiest Man Alive a few days ago. While reading, I felt like I'm watching a romantic comedy movie. Slightly cheesy, but a fun read. I give it 4 stars.


message 685: by Ty (new)

Ty  | 1943 comments finished Ecstasy Unveiled (Demonica, #4) by Larissa Ione for Pleasure Unbound (Demonica, #1) by Larissa Ione on 10/12. ★★★1/2
good series - not great, I'm not a fangirl like some readers are. This was a good installation for the series and I'm looking forward to the HEA for everyone in the next book.

Suzanne (esmerelda1) | 2244 comments Random Book List #101

I read At Grave's End by Jeaniene Frost and I only gave it 3 stars. I had a hard time getting into this one, it didn't really pick up for me until the last quarter of the book. I'm not sure how I feel about this series, but I'll keep at it.

At Grave's End (Night Huntress, #3) by Jeaniene Frost


message 687: by Vi (new)

Vi | 2794 comments I started The Last Boyfriend yesterday night only to realize it was the second book. I got the first book The Next Always and finished them both today - 22 Oct. I rated them both 3 stars. They were ok but not really comparable to NR's other works. There was not really not much new.

message 692: by Ty (new)

Ty  | 1943 comments Divorced, Desperate and Delicious (Divorced, #1) by Christie Craig sounds like fun!

I HIGHLY recommend Willing Victim by Cara McKenna despite the controversial subject, even I was pretty hesitant at first. But the author gives it a really delicate treatment and someone mentioned it was "yummy dirtyness" so of course I had to try it XD


message 693: by Fran, Moderator (new)

Fran | 12278 comments I second Ty's recommendation of Willing Victim by Cara McKenna !


I found Divorced, Desperate and Delicious (Divorced, #1) by Christie Craig on my kindle so I will go with that one.

message 699: by Randi (new)

Randi | 119 comments Divorced, Desperate and Delicious (Divorced, #1) by Christie Craig
★★★★ COMPLETED 12/2

I enjoyed this book - it's definitely a chick lit book which has humor that I like! Especially with the pets in the house. A man who was framed for an attempted murder and drugs had to take the lady hostage in her own house - he cuffed her to the headboard and ate a Fancy Feast sandwich - hilarious :D


message 700: by Yz the Whyz, Moderator (new)

Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments Finished listening to Judgment in Death (In Death, #11) by J.D. Robb last night. Another 5-star read from J.D. Robb.
