Holly: I read Magic Breaks by Ilona Andrews. I read about 6 chapters of it a few months ago but set it aside because I wasn’t really in the mood. I cracked laughing several times. It was good. I’m going to go straight into the next book now.
Rowena: This week, I finished reading The Wall of Winnipeg and Me by Mariana Zapata and I enjoyed it. It was a slow burn romance and the hero really worked my nerves in the beginning but he won me over in the end. I absolutely adored him. After I finished up that book, I picked up Calling It by Jen Doyle and I loved the hero in this book. Absolutely loved him but the heroine? She drove me up every freaking wall. I wanted to throat punch her so many different times during the book.
Now? I’m reading The Natural History of Us by Rachel Harris. It’s a contemporary YA that I’ve been looking forward to getting my hands on since I found out Justin was getting his own story told. squee
What are you reading this week? Any new favorites or books that drove you crazy? Share!
I’m going to finish You by Caroline Kepnes I hope tonight.. after that I should probably read a nice easy romance novel….
How are you liking You? I just read the blurb for it and it sounds interesting.
Uhm, I’m not sure how to describe it. I have definitely never read anything like it before. You basically are the bad guy in this book.. and it’s very straight forward and twisted. Everyone keeps comparing it to the show Dexter which I have never seen. I would say a solid 4 star
Seriously? The reader is the bad guy and it’s being compared to Dexter? I watched that show but Dexter was a cold blooded killer but he only killed criminals who got away with their crimes (the bad guys). Hmm, now I’m even more curious about this book.
What book are you going to read next?
I have the new Jill Shalvis Nobody but You, sitting on my shelf so maybe that to make me feel lighter haha. I did finish it… and I’m really blown away. I hope to write my review today and I try not to do spoilers in them..This author had you rooting for the bad guy at some parts.
I just finished The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion. It was very funny and so good. It’s written from the perspective of a 40 YO genetics professor who has Aspergers, so he’s pretty socially awkward, but he decides that he wants to find a spouse. He decides to go about it scientifically and develops a big questionnaire to find a woman he is compatible with but ends up falling for a totally unsuitable woman.
I also read Ghost of a Promise by Kelly Moran. It’s a PNR with a woman who owns a haunted house and the host of a TV show investigating paranormal claims that tries to help her. It was really good. I don’t like scary ghost stories but this one had just enough bumps in the night to keep it interesting, but not enough to really bother me.
I’m away from home so not reading as much as usual; I still managed to read ~
— Judy Cuevas’ Dance — it’s a historical romance which I quite enjoyed. If you’re a reader of historical romance, you might know this author by her other name, Judith Ivory.
— Broken Heart Syndrome and Sticks and Stones, two contemporary romances by Susie Tate. Overall, I enjoyed them; however, the characters were all too human and did some less than heroic things during the course of both stories. The stories contain a smattering of Welsh terms which are translated at the end of each chapter.
— re-read Ex Equals, a male-male romance novella by L. A. Witt.
— currently re-reading Kristen Ashley’s For You
I just finished Troublemaker by Linda Howard. It was better than I expected.
I just picked up Dark Promises by Christine Feehan from the library. No matter how bad these books keep getting, I keep reading.
