What Are You Reading? Part 1
Mod
HELP ME. I NEED SOMEONE TO TALK TO THIS ABOUT. OMG."
LOL Yep, that's where we were all at after reading it!! Reading Elixir definitely helps, and diving into something completely different! =)
Mod
and not sure how I feel about it. I'm not too far in but it's not capturing me like Delirium. I miss ..."Yeah it was so completely random, that's part of what made me so angry. Why throw in an entirely new character to just replace him?!! What was she thinking? Ugh, I didn't like the premise of this series anyway (and to be honest, I really didn't like the heroine to begin with), so she just lost a reader with this one.
Mod
and OOHHHH!!"I've yet..."
Yeah I can't wait to see both POV in Origin, should be exciting!

THANKS YOU GUYS!!!! I am so stoked....Choices is #41 on Amazon, how freakin awesome!! Thanks to those who've purchased it! <3
Thanks Erin :) yes, Ethan's POV took some getting used to but overall I liked it. I found this book to be a bit more blunt than the first one because of it but I still enjoyed it quite well and thought the author did a decent job of capturing his male perspective. Very looking forward to book 3 and I hope she can pull off the release by at least January if not this month as stated. As for Shattered, I'm at 40% and still not invested in the story nor Alyssa. I'll admit that I've gotten glimpses of the potential that this story could have blossomed into but it inevitably falls short for me. The storyline isn't anything special so the only thing that could've sold it was character development and in that aspect for me at least it falls really really short. I never felt connected to Alyssa. She's just not a likeable character. Jesse is a little better but again not great and nothing new or convincing enough to well me with emotions and sell me on their plight. This one was just okay for me. And I had a very hard time with the typos and grammatical errors that just deterred from the story as well. Oh well, onto the next one I guess lol. Lord knows we have piles and piles of books to get to :)

which I loved, but it wasn't. I kept hoping she would stop being so foolish but it only got worse for me. I'm glad everyone else enjoyed it, but its no Sweet Gum Tree.

Tiana411 wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Finished reading and enjoyed it as much as the first book and wish book 3 was out already! Started reading and I'm about 40..."Yep, same for me. This was just okay. The Sweet Gum Tree was spectacular. The characters in Shattered were flat and I honestly did not care for the main character Alyssa at all. Plus I found the story to be unoriginal and in need of editing.
And now will be starting
because I need to sink my teeth into a great story and Colleen Hoover can always be counted on to deliver greatness.

Thanks darling. Really excited about Hopeless because I absolutely LOVED Slammed & Point Of Retreat. And as for my Tinkerbell avatar LOL! You're too funny. I have a soft spot for her ;) she's my favorite Disney character have a ton a Tinkerbell stuff :D but wanted a change.
I have got to finish
which is really good but something happened and has me afraid to read more (sorry Christine) so I started
for a distraction, and it has already pulled me in.

I'm 4% in and I'm already blissfully sighing out loud :) Colleen Hoover is a magician creating real people out of thin air I tell you! Pure magic. I'm in heaven right now.
Belkis wrote: "I'm 4% in and I'm already blissfully sighing out loud :) Colleen Hoover is a magician creating real people out of thin air I tell you! Pure magic.

I'm in 30% now, a little bit bored so that I have to hold it on and read another book but I'm back to it and looking forward for Holder's story because he surely have something to tell about.
Btw, you're not Tinkerbell anymore, I have to look twice and wondering is this Belkis that I know or I have another Belkis as a friend? Lol, nice picture though :D

Thanks Rachmi ;) yeah felt like changing up a bit with my picture lol. And yes, enjoying Hopeless quite a lot. I love Colleen Hoover's writing.
Belkis wrote: "Thanks Rachmi ;) yeah felt like changing up a bit with my picture lol. And yes, enjoying Hopeless quite a lot.

I hope Hopeless will end 2012 perfectly, since I read lot of great contemporary romance this year, including Slammed and Point of Retreat, of course.
Mod
and enjoyed it as much as the first book and wish book 3 was out already! Started reading and I'm about 40..."I'm sorry you guys didn't like Shattered, but to each his own, as they say! I compared it to SGT because it got to me emotionally the way that book did; maybe not in the same intensity, but it hit me hard the way Allred's work had.
I think perhaps I've lowered my standards with the typos because there are so many books that are riddled with them these days. Not all of them of course, and I appreciate the authors that go the extra mile, but I do tend to overlook at least some of the mistakes if I love the story. If I don't love it they're more pronounced to me, so I probably would have made similar observations as you if I didn't enjoy this as much as I did. =)

Mod
tonight (and reached my yearly challenge goal, yay!!) and I was very pleasantly surprised. It was very unique and not the dark erotica I thought it'd be, but something entirely different that I ended up really loving!

Just read
and I didn't truly get the point of it. I mean I got it, but it didn't feel that important. It was a decent read though.

I've read plenty of books riddled with typos and tend to overlook them if I'm immersed in the story. And yes, different strokes for us all :) we all feel differently and relate differently to the same books.

And thanks for the heads up on this book as I have it in my library too and now I know I can expect an interesting read at the very least.

I am not touching another book in a series for a long time!

It was very unique and not the dark erotica I thought ..."Thanks hun! ;-) It's definitely different; I think a lot of people are going into it expecting another version of Kitty Thomas' Comfort Food or a Christian Grey-like MC, but it's not at all. He's actually just a misguided man who makes rash and insane decisions to try and win over the heroine. I personally thought the 2nd person voice that has been irritating other readers was actually an ingenious idea for this story, somehow it just works!

It's really between 3 books: Shadowplay, White Oleander, and David Copperfield. Just finished Sleepy Hollow, which was very short.
I'm trying to get some review books done before the year is up so I'm going to start

I need something new to read! Any suggestions??!
Finally wrapped up

The movie has been out for quite a while in the theatres, so I'm not sure how quickly it will be before we can rent it. I really wanted to see it, but didn't get a chance.

I like the Blackstone Affair series, but the all-Ethan POV for All In bothered me. I felt like his personality was changed in order to drag a male POV through a romance book. I still can't wait for the next book, though, it's a great series.
I absolutely loved Shattered, but I didn't warm up to Alyssa immediately. It was when Jesse really came into the picture that I started to see the side of her that I loved. Hopefully you'll like her more as the book goes on, I think it's a beautiful story. =)
