I finished
last November 7. Even though I'm a big fan of Kresley Cole, I can only give this book 3 stars. I'm not really impressed with Evie and at the end of the story, I just felt 'meh'. Might pick up the 2nd book later, but i'm in no rush.

I just didn't feel as connected with that story. Evie needed a smack on the butt so she can toughen up, though Jackson's verbal smackdowns were excessive
Random Book List Challenge #157I finished reading Etiquette & Espionage by Gail Carriger and really enjoyed it! This was the first book I'd read by this author and I enjoyed the victorian steampunk setting. I will definately be reading more by her! 5 Stars!

Kay ✾◕ ‿ ◕✾ - 12/31 **
I'll give this a 4 star. I enjoyed the book as it has humorous moments in this. I love the idea of a curvy woman going as a gay friend's "girlfriend" to fool the parents for his sake and fell in lust with his brother, who is newly engaged to a supermodel. Quick read!
12/16/13I gave this 4 stars. I loved seeing the other side of the love story. I spent the entire first book mad at Leo, but now that I've read his story, I'm in love with him too. :)
Random Book List Challenge #162I finished reading Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls by David Sedaris and really enjoyed it. I wasn't quite sure what to expect but it was really good! I gave it 4 stars.
I finished
last Dec. 6 and was pleasantly surprised. Highly readable, very poignant and will stay with you for a while after you finished reading. 5 stars.
Read When It Rains. I can't like the girl. I think she's insensitive and selfish despite the author's effort to make me understand her actions for what she went through. 2 stars.

Finished!! - literally at 4 minutes till midnight!!!
Much better than I expected but I guessed the major plot point, still ★★★★

I thought it was a 3.75-ish story, but I enjoyed it but it was lacking a little something.
The sequel was disappointing.
I finished
last January 12. Even though the first book remains my favorite, I thought this one was a pretty good addition to the series. 4 stars.

Yep. : )
Random Book List Challenge #172I read Annabel by Lauren Oliver and it was ok. I gave it three stars because it wasn't a horrible story, just really short. I would like to continue the series though.
Forgot to post. Finished
last Feb. 20. It was interesting enough but I'm on the fence about the cliffhanger ending. Not a big fan of love triangles.

I read What's Left of Me for Once We Were. I rated it 3 stars. It was OK, but I didn't really connect with the characters or find myself caring about them. And I wasn't a fan of the two souls sharing the same body concept. I don't think I will continue this series.
Random Book List Challenge #177I finished reading The Undead Pool by Kim Harrison. I really love this series and I'm so sad that this is the second to the last book, but I really enjoyed it! I gave it 5 stars!
