What Are You Reading? (291)

WAYR-New

Casee: I’ve been slow and steady this week. Rowena was looking for a good military romance and Holly mentioned Jessica Scott, so I decided to try her. Wow. I’m reading her Coming Home series and it has hit me hard even to read about fictional families that go through war. I’ve seen first hand how war affects a family and it seems to me that Jessica Scott has written it superbly well. I’m currently reading Back to You, which is the second in series (or the third). It’s a very emotional book and I’ve had to take a lot of breaks.

Holly: I reread Fairytale Come Alive by Kristen Ashley, then dove right into Steadfast by Sarina Bowen when it arrived. I absolutely adored that book. Oh, Jude. Then I reread Bittersweet, because I was thinking about Audrey and Griff.

Rowena: I finished The Billionaire Bachelor by Jessica Lemmon and really enjoyed that so I immediately started reading Sweet Little Lies by Jill Shalvis and was thoroughly enjoying that book when my eARC of Steadfast by Sarina Bowen came in. I immediately dove into that book and freaking loved it, went back and finished Sweet Little Lies and now I’m getting ready to start Defending Taylor by Miranda Kenneally. My reading has been good to me this week because I really liked everything that I read. I hope that continues into July.

What are you reading this week?

    Billionaire Bachelor was really good! I have Jill Shalvis book on my tbr for this wk. I have read another book by Miranda Kenneally – Jesse’s Girl – and that was really good, so I am sure I will read the new one at some point. I’m interested in seeing if you like it, Rowena!

    • I’ve been hearing really good things about Defending Taylor so I’m excited to jump in.

      I thought Billionaire Bachelor was really good too. It was my first book by Jessica Lemmon and it won’t be my last. I loved her writing style.

    Two hits, one miss this week, so not too bad. The hits were Beautiful Player by Christina Lauren and The Secrets of Mary Bowser, which was historical fiction that I read for my book club. It was a fascinating and well written book – fiction, but based on a real woman who was born a slave, freed when she was 12, and who then became a spy for the Union in the Civil War by pretending to be a slave and working in the household of Jefferson Davis, the Confederate president.

    The miss was The Wall of Winnipeg and Me by Mariana Zapata. I know you’ve read it and enjoyed it, but it just didn’t work for me, plus, I was continually thrown out of the story by the grammatical errors. In a way, it’s almost a good thing to find an author I don’t click with, because at least then I’m not going to be adding the rest of their books to my towering TBR mountain LOL.
