I finished
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.
Playing for Keeps by R.L. Mathewson ★★★★ 04.09.Ditto on everything Yz said. :)
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.
I finished
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
I finished
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*
I finished reading
. 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
finished
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.
I read both
and
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.
I just finish
. 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 :)
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.
Random Book List #96I 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.

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.
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.
finished

on 10/12. ★★★1/2good 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.
Random Book List #101I 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.
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.
I read
for
. Finish date Nov 1st, 12. 5 stars, so far after 2 books this series is going strong one of my favorite series.

I'll read
. I have been wanting to read this for ages, but so many books for me to decide on!Thanks! :)
sounds like fun!I HIGHLY recommend
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
Finish reading
. So, its still good like usual. We have a lot of Eve-Roarke than the previous. Eve counter with her Mom is a surprise. We will see that Eve still have her vulnerable side and must deal with her nightmare again. 5 stars
★★★★ 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
