Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments I chose Thoughtless (Thoughtless, #1) by S.C. Stephens for this challenge, but after 30% through I have to give up.

I have never met a more selfish, self-absorbed heroine. And if she blushed one more time and call the hero adorable I'm going to puke.

Hi Ezinwanyi!

I think Uncharted wrapped up everything very nicely. I don't see any more stories about this group but we can always hope! I cried during this story, it didn't start out with a very emotional feel so when it took another turn I was caught by surprise. Have tissues!

The Diviners (The Diviners, #1) by Libba Bray

I read The Diviners by Libba Bray and I really liked it. It's a paranormal mystery set in New York city in the roaring 20's. It reminded me of Bugsy Malone, I gave it 5 stars!

Unteachable by Leah Raeder Unteachable is already on list #148 and Freefall Freefall by Tess Oliver is on list #150.

I think there is a rule about no duplicate titles in the same year?

René (bookgeek4life) | 34 comments I finished My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick .

It was a cute, somewhat quick read about first love. It took a while to get to the main plot and I wish some more of the major subplots were wrapped up. Overall, I'm glad I read it and I did enjoy. 3 stars


message 636: by Dragana (last edited Sep 30, 2013 02:17AM) (new)

Dragana (diaryofthebookdragon) Read My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick on 24.09. (yep read it in one day) 4.5 stars
Perfect romance story for the summer. Cute without unnecessary drama. Mature characters with good decisions.
If you are romance fan and don't mind reading a contemporary story about two teenagers falling in love, definitely check it out.

I finished reading Rock Chick (Rock Chick, #1) by Kristen Ashley and LOVED IT! Why is she not in print form? This book was hysterical, it's got to be one of the funniest books I've read in a while! Not only was it funny but the storyline was great too, it makes me want to go back to Denver to visit! Plus, the author is from my home state of Indiana. I will now be buying all of her books.

ilovebakedgoods (Teresa) (ilovebakedgoods) | 86 comments Boo, not going to get to my pick for this one by tonight.


message 646: by Ansonja (new)

Ansonja | 30 comments Right... I read three books on the list.

The first was Lick (Stage Dive, #1) by Kylie Scott which I gave 3 stars. It was a good read though not very remarkable.

The second was The Mighty Storm (The Storm, #1) by Samantha Towle which I gave 1 star. I had not read the reviews before hand so I did not realise that there was a cheating aspect to the book, which is one plot device I haven't gotten along with well. Coupled with a heroine that I did not like, I ended up skimming many pages.

The final book was My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick which I awarded 5 stars. This has been on my shelf for a while now, but I am quite happy that I finally read it. The book was quite an enjoyable read. Truly hoping for a sequel with Alice's story.
