Here is my new evil plan, I'm going to alternate between reading YA, urban fantasy, paranormal romance and books outside my comfort zone. This way, I won't get in one of my grumpy book moods. Since I just did a YA, it is on to romance/urban fantasy.

This book dragged for awhile but now that Lavinia has moved away, it is getting interesting again. That darn Marshall, I hate him, feel sorry for him, hate him again, feel sorry for him and so on. I obviously feel conflicted. I'm hoping later on, Lavinia ends up with Will.

What to read next? I'm not in any particular mood so the choices are limitless. I spent all day standing in the rain watching game after game of high school water polo. Now my head feels like it is under water!

Very good!

Why in the world did I wait so long to read this book? I love it. Kind of a slow start (ok, not slow but I was thinking it was kidlike) but than it took off like crazy!

ok, i know Marshall's experience with tutor was horrible but he is horrible too! Why doesn't Belle tell she is the daughter? It is so frustrating!

Kind of weird beginning, but I like it. I have horrible sinus infection so my ability to concentrate is bad. Makes reading hard.

Oh Marshall! Poor Sally! Poor Ben! Obviously, alot is going on this book. Let's just say I need to buy stock in kleenax!

Curry is so good to Ian. I hate Fellows, I feel so bad for Ian. You have to just love Beth, she is perfect for Ian. She never backs down and never runs from his problems (yet).

Lavinia and Bell, Oh my goodness, I love these two characters. This is a must listen to audiobook.

This book has me so stumped. I can't even begin to describe it. It's weird but in a good way. I'm totally addicted.

I've heard that some books are just beautiful on audiobook. The Help is one of them and the Kitchen House is the other. I have to say if the beginning is any indication, people are right. This story has me spellbound and it has only just begun.

this book took me completely by surprise. It is much more than I thought in a good way. I feel for Jenny.

Kind of a bland ending. I'm guessing because book 2 was already in the planning stages. Overall, good story.

Yes, this book solved my need for a bit of R rated action and in return, I am adoring the story. I have fallen for Ian and think Beth is one my new favorite female characters. I love the other characters as well. I can't say enough about this book.

Ok, so I would normally, never, ever read a book like this but with such high praise and many recommendations, here I am. Considering I've been in PG land for so long w/ all the YA books, I'm ready for some serious hotness. So far, even after only 2 chapters, I know I'm going to love Lord Ian. He gets what he wants, doesn't he?

Very cute story. I'll be reading book 2. Loved Evie,and Lend. Loved Lish and her attempt to swear. Overall very very good.

Jenny's relationship with the dog and how the dog can't accidently bump into her is so sad!

It is weird since I keep comparing this book to Paranormalcy (the other book I'm reading). Both YA, both about undiscovered powers/identities. Both are very good and in many ways, very different.

Still a sweet read. Nothing much to report.

My next book is going to be a hot steamy book filled with mindless sex. I've been reading so many YA books lately, I feel like I'm back in high school.

Ok, I have to confess, while I didn't "open" abook yesterday, I did listen to my audiobook while I cleaned, drove and did everything else (well, not everything!). I am a huge Jenna Black fan and I'm happy to say this book is as good as her others.

Love this book. Very fun, I'm surprised how much I like it. Evie is one of those characters you can't help but adore.

I did it. One entire day without opening a book. Of course, I watched football all day but that is besides the point. I did get my house clean and the kids helped (without money motivation). Miracles do happen.

Ok, so I was only supposed to read for an hour but it was an easy read and yeah, I'm full of excuses. But, I WILL NOT start another book until tomorrow night. I WILL clean this damn house! LOL

OK, so I'm an addict. I'll stop reading in 1 hour! That is a good goal right?

I will not start reading this book until I clean up my house! I have self control! I do! This is so not working.

Ok, so I'm taking the day off from all adult responsibilities. I'm allowed right?

This book is outstanding. Friday's are my housework, bill paying, dinner making day. I've done none of it! I'm totally into the story.

So far so good.
