Holly: I didn’t get a chance to read as much as I would have liked this week. Things were crazy in my personal life, plus I’ve been trying out new e-reading apps (Nook, Kindle, UB Reader, Google Play Books, etc), which means I was switching back and forth so much I only partially read a lot of books. (I hope to do a post about my experiences -and the pros and cons – of each…someday.)
I read Suddenly One Summer by Julie James, which prompted a re-read of Love Irresistibly (there was an excerpt at the back of SOS, which is how that came about). LI is such a fun read, and SOS was truly wonderful. James writes such smart books. It’s hard not to love them. I also read The Deal by Elle Kennedy. Rowena has been raving about the book and I found it just as well done as she said. I loved the characters, the friendship and the overall story.
I also re-read Easy by Tammara Webber, since I was thinking about it after The Deal. I started Echoes by Laura K. Curtis, but I set it aside about 1/4 of the way in. The plot is a bit slow-moving, but I quit because I thought it was a paranormal (my fault for misreading the blurb) and I lost interest when I learned it wasn’t. I plan to go back to it later, when my expectations aren’t set on something else.
Last night I started Shards of Hope by Nalini Singh. ADEN!! I’m about halfway through and…yeah. It’s everything I’d hoped it would be.
Rowena: It’s been a slow reading week for me (what’s new?) because I’m wrapped up in my TV Shows. We had some good Olicity scenes last week on Arrow and then a Steroline love scene in a Steroline heavy episode on Vampire Diaries. My shipping heart has all but exploded all over the place so reading took a back seat this week.
The only book that I read this week is One of the Guys by Lisa Aldin (cute book!) but I just finished that book since I actually started it last week. Still, it was cute and cuddly and everything I like in my contemporary YA’s so kudos to Lisa Aldin on her debt book. Be on the look out for that review soon(ish). 🙂
I plan to get some reading done tonight since I have absolutely no plans. I can’t even remember the last time that I didn’t have anything basketball related going on over the weekend. This is great! I plan on digging into my eARC of Suddenly One Summer by Julie James and then finishing up Branded by Fire by Nalini Singh. I’m still reading the Psy/Changeling series (and I’m still loving it too). I can’t wait!
What are you reading?
