5/7
Can I just say - - Suzanne Collins is just amazing. This trilogy is COMPLETELY addicting!
I've been a Kristan Higgins fan since the beginning. She has 6 books, altogether, I think. The past 2 books have been omniscient voice, not first person, as her first books were. I liked the first person for a romance. It was refreshing, and I thought she was unique. These past two have been "meh" for me. I gave it 4 stars, but it's more like a 3.8 or 3.9.
This is the 2nd in the school for heiresses series. I finished it a week ago and can barely remember it. How's that for a review, LOL?!

I guess every author has a "miss" every now and again. I think this was only the 3rd book that she published. The concept of a young lady posing as a boy to help her father spy on an earl...I think in the back of my mind, I thought it was clever, but uncomfortable. I gave the .7 star because I like Suzanne Enoch, and will continue to read her, because I really like her wit.
OMG - I don't know what to say - I'm so conflicted. I wish it had taken a less violent turn (I hate violence) and/or ended differently. Her word pictures were gorgeous as always, but the content...I don't know. Still digesting it. First two books were brilliant. This one -- meh. Anyone else who's read the trilogy feel the same way? Am I missing something?

I switched mine around in order to finish. I'm on the "waitlist" for the next J.D. Robb In Death series at the library and it just doesn't look like it is going to become available b/f the end of the month.
Awesome, Lisa Kay! So you're all done! Congrats!

Awesome, Desiree!!!!!!!
Thanks, Dhes! I wasn't sure I'd be able to finish this month but thankfully it was a rainy/threatening to rain 3-day weekend. So yard work was put on hold. :)
Congratulations, Lisa Kay and Desiree! I'm struggling through my last book, but I'm 99.9% sure I'll be done before June 1, LOL!
I've got two books I need to finish b/f the end of the month for another challenge. I hope I can make it. If I don't get distracted by other books. (Which is entirely possible!)
Yeah, but I really need to focus, Trish. So many pretty books!

It is so easy to get distracted by other books isn't it? I have one more book to read for another challenge too but a couple of other books that I've actually set aside for the June Spell it Out Challenge have been calling to me.
...I'm already straying from my June reading list...LMAO!!
Oh, yes, Desiree! It is like...when I touch them or look at them to consider them for a challenge... then I want to read them right then!Oh, dear, Trish! LOL!
