[Dee]

I grabbed Why We Broke Up from the library the other day...let's see how it is

[Fran, Moderator]

Dee, if you wait until the first to start it you can use it for an SRC task. I forgot which task number it is but it calls for a Printz Honor book. It's the Breakfast Club task.

[Fran, Moderator]

30.8- Printz Award or Printz Honor Book for The Princess option.

[Joann]

I'm going to read .

[Dee]

ohhh thanks!! I wasn't sure what I was going to use for that one yet

[Yvonne]

I forgot to post here... finished The Perks of Being a Wallflower on Feb 23 and gave it 5 stars. Loved it, especially as I in some ways could relate to the main character - I've been one of the 'odd kids' too who didn't really fit in.

[Fran, Moderator]

I finished Cross My Heart today 2/28. It was just o.k. Nothing really made it stand out from other YA misunderstood boy/good girl romances. And it needed some editing. 3*

[Vi]

I finished Cross My Heart on 28th too. Ditto what Fran said. Over-hyped and I wouldn't even say misunderstood. Leaning towards the stereo but not really there.

[Nicola]

Have to skip this one. Not enjoying the Sookie Stackhouse novel at all. Plus my local library does not have ONE of the titles listed (except of course the two I have already read) I was trying to make a good run of these. Oh well, next one!

[Dragana]

Finished The Body Finder by Kimberly Derting at 08.03. 4 star rating.
I liked it. My favorite part of the book was a love story between main characters Violet and Jay. It was so cute and sweet. It reminded me of a time when I was young girl and so clueless. :)

[Yz the Whyz, Moderator]

Finished Dead in the Family for Definitely Dead. I'm not so wild with this installment in the series. *** stars.

[Joann]

Finished Lord of Scoundrels today and rated it 4 stars. Good hero and heroine characters, but thought the first half dragged somewhat. The second half took off and was absolutely great.

[Yvonne]

I just re-read Definitely Dead and have to stick with my rating of 4 stars - so much better than the latest book in the series

Ok, I read . I gave it 2 stars, it was alright. I didn't outright hate it but I promised my best friend I would read the series and I'm glad I finished it...so glad I didn't see the movie. I'll probably sit and watch part 1 and 2 together when part 2 comes out on DVD.

I like this list :)

I'm going to read either or

[Kim]

I am going to go with Shatter Me.

[Vi]

I'll go with since someone recommended to me not long ago.

[Tammy]

The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight

I just read this one. I like the premise of the story and it was very believeable. The interactions between the two main characters were good but I wish there was more between them and less of her inner thoughts of her father. I wanted more of a love story between the two - not father and daughter. Overall I gave it a 3.

[Yz the Whyz, Moderator]

I'm reading Smooth Talking Stranger for Kleypas' Blue-Eyed Devil.

[Yz the Whyz, Moderator]

I finished listening to Smooth Talking Stranger for Blue-Eyed Devil yesterday, and it was wonderful. Another touching story with a strong heroine and a sexy hero from Kleypas. I wonder if this is the last Travis book, or will Joe get his own book. 5 Stars.

[Amy ~Lover of Books~]

I'll read

[Yvonne]

I might actually go with Gone with the Wind for this one, I've read it once as a teenage girl and that was the German translation. Always wanted to read it again, and our library has it in English

[Dragana]

I finished reading Fantasy Lover by Sherrilyn Kenyon today. The funniest part is, that when I started reading it I remembered that I read it a long time ago and totally forgot about it. It was fun re-reading. Grace and her friend Selena were very witty and funny and contributed a lot to the humor of the book. I also liked that Sherrilyn Kenyon mixed in a Greek mythology, I love it when writer describe Greek gods in modern settings.

[Nicola]

Just picked up .

This is a wonderful book. Have you read the first one, Sugar Daddy?

I gave all three books in this trilogy 5 stars.

I haven't. I didn't realize until I picked it up at the library that it was a trilogy. Does it need to be read in order?

[Fran, Moderator]

I finished on 4/11. Vi and I read it together. I just loved it! It was a heart-tugging, well-written, emotional story and I wish it were longer. Sophie and Carter are two fractured teens who rely on each other for support and unconditional friendship.

[Christina (AKA Babbling)]

Copying what I posted on another challenge:



Fantasy Lover by Sherrilyn Kenyon - ★★★★ - 6 Apr 12
I was surprised how much I ended up liking this book. I really liked Grace and Julian -- especially after we got to know more about his past. I also liked the fact it was a stand-alone book. There is almost no hint that this book is the "prequel" to the author's Dark-Hunter series. I could easily decide not to read the series and I won't feel like I missed anything.

I will be reading the next -- or first -- book.

[Joann]

I finished Shatter Me yesterday and rated it 3 stars.

[Nicola]

I finally read Sugar Daddy yesterday must be a four star, because I also read yesterday! (Both four stars, off to order !)

[Vi]

I finished Sophie & Carter on 11 April. What Fran said. Loved it too. It was almost perfect.

[Yvonne]

I don't think I can finish Gone with the Wind within one week, wasted too much time on a book I didn't like for challenge #73...

Guess I'll go with Fantasy Lover then, that should be a faster read

[Yvonne]

As I said Fantasy Lover was a fast read, read through it last night when insomnia hit again. Gave it 4 stars, it was an entertaining read and I'll certainly read more of the series

[Amy ~Lover of Books~]

I finished Saturday night and I really liked it. 4 stars from me!

[Suzanne]

I finished reading Fantasy Lover for this challenge. I didn't like this book until the plot got into how they were going to break the curse. It sounded really cheesy at first and I wasn't interesting me at all but then it got better after about 1/3 of the way into it. ***
