Love letters historical romance by Lori Brighton.
currently reading 'CITY OF BONES' <333 ASDFGHJKL ALMOST DONE! Anyone know how the movie is ? compared to the book??
Currently read
An emotional thriller.I almost didn’t buy this book from a poor review I read on Amazon that didn’t finish the book, but something inside me asked, how could so many other people absolutely rave about it? So I gave this new author a chance and am so thankful I did. You can’t judge this book if you don’t finish it till the end. I think this is such a misunderstood read by mediocre minded people who lack to see the depth in this book. Yes, there are some disturbing scenes, but they should be! The author deftly navigated the horrifying sequences without being too graphic in detail. Isn’t that the reason we all read thrillers because it scares us and we like to despise the bad guy? These things happen in the world we live in...why should we stick our heads in the sand and act like it’s not out there. It doesn’t make it go away. It has opened my eyes to being more aware of my children and not taking the life I have for granted. I can’t imagine what these unfortunate families must go through when these tragedies strike. It could happen to anyone. How do they ever pick up the pieces and live a normal life again? First Night of Summer is a gritty, yet emotional and pulse-pounding read that will stick to your thoughts long after you finish it. This is not a surface level thriller, it digs deep into the psyche of a darkened mind and pulls your heartstrings into the abyss of one family’s despair. To my surprise, it has become one of my favorite reads of all time.
I just finnished Mörka platser ( Dark places) by Gillian Flynn
I have just begun with another crime book
Sofie Sarenbrants book Vila i frid
Finished
- gave it 2 1/2 STARS *sigh* Look at that cover too! I keep thinking if it was only a little longer I might have enjoyed it much more.Started
, but after, I might re-read
from the beginning to the most recent chapter release. I am so addicted to that series.
The Red Queen - It's been on my shelf for over one year or so.A Study in Darkness - I want to post a review before the weekend.
One Great Year - Not convinced so far.
Red Rain by R.L. Stine. Pretty creepy and disturbing. But I love this author and how he writes. Been a fan of his since the Goosebumps and Fear Street series. And horror is my favorite genre. :)
Okay finished
and of course I LOVED IT LOL! I love this story, this author's writing, and the characters in the story so much. Then I also finished
and really enjoyed it a lot. Then
and it was another great one for this hilarious series. Will be reading the next one really soon for sure. Then I jumped into
and sadly this one was a total disappointment for me. Super slow and too many boring info sections. Very hard one for me to get through. And to think I looked forward to this book for so long and then when I finally got to it, total bust! Argh! Hate when that happens. But then I read
and it was so good!! Yay! Made up for the previous disappointing read thank goodness. Will be reading book three to the Krinar Chronicles very soon :DCurrently reading
and enjoying it very much. Next up for me
Hopefully I can stick to them before jumping into these highly anticipated releases
October is going to be SPECTACULAR!!
HOLY HELL
what a mind bending, gut wrenching, hair lifting, freaking rollercoaster!! BUT SO GOOD LOL!
Just finished Shelter - Tara Shuler. Wasn't a bad book, was interesting in parts for the style of book. Found quite a few spelling and grammar errors and sent an email to the author telling her. Now I am going to read Vigilante - Kerry Wilkinson.
Finished up my re-reading of Skip Beat!. For some reason, it's a palate cleanser for me (you know book wise). I feel refreshed and not so drained.Next, I hope to read
&
by the end of September. I think I can do it.
The Guardians Crown by Wendy Owensthen
Finding Home by Lauren K McKellar
Then
Fire in The Darkness by Stacey Marie Brown
Okay so I finished
and liked it a lot! Need to read book 2 ASAP! Need to know how it ends and of course more Dorian LOL! Also finished
and enjoyed it too. Good story and interesting writing done in 3 POVs between the 3 main characters. Then jumped into
didn't like this one much. Didn't care for the main characters at all. Hopefully the next book is better otherwise will drop the series. And then OMG!
WHAT A MIND F@$K!! Holy shit! Calling this dark is nowhere even close. My God, this is black! And I LOVED It! So of course I'm now almost done with
and it's AWESOME! And it just gets darker and darker and better and better!! LOVE IT! Of course I will be reading the next ones right after because it's not even a question LOL! So next up
!!!
Right now, I've got three books going: Beyond Control by Kit Rocha, Doctor Sleep by Stephen King and Colton's Daughter by Maya Banks:)
I have been reading a lot so far and everytime I finish a book, I end up adding a new one to my currently reading shelf. Finished:
Still reading:
And I added a new one:
Finished
, which is actually two novellas together. It's a light read & since G.A. Aiken is also Shelly Laurenston, so fans of her work that haven't checked out her other series, might appreciate it. Started
earlier, which took me a while to get into. Fans of "The Little Mermaid" will enjoy it I think. I am getting into the plot of the story & it makes me want to continue the series, but my only hang up is it did take me a few chapters to get into THIS book. So far, I am leaning toward 3 STARS.
