What Are You Reading? 7-20-12 (117)

Rowena: I finally finished The Great Escape by Susan Elizabeth Phillips and while I ended up liking it, it took me a long time to warm up to Panda and Lucy got on my hot damn nerves, a lot. I just finished reading Kilts and Kraken by Cindy Spencer Pape which was different but interesting and now I’m going to be starting Call Me Wild by Robin Kaye. I think this is the first book that I’ve read by Kaye so I’m curious to see how I like her writing style.

Holly: I read A Girl Named Summer by Julie Garwood last night. It was way better than I expected, considering it was her first novel. Today I started Starlight by Carrie Lofty. I’m only a page or two in, so it’s too early to say how it’s going to be. I’m sure I’ll like it, though. Lofty is always a winner for me.

I ended up DNF’ing The Darkest Day by Britt Bury. I just couldn’t handle the ridiculous actions of the main characters and the cheesy dialogue. Others have loved it, but it wasn’t for me.

Casee is off camping this week. Hopefully she’ll be back next week..if she doesn’t get eaten by bears or mosquitoes.

    I finished The Great Escape and liked it. It was a little heavy- handed, however, in the political correctness dept and never explained the name Panda.

  2. I never like SEP characters when I first start to read her books. I almost have to force myself to start them. I’m reading the Great Escape right now and since know it’s a sequel and that I read the first book it should be easier to read but it’s not.

  3. I DNF’d The Darkest Day, too. Glad it wasn’t just me! I’m reading by Shannon McKenna and Captain Vorpatril’s Alliance by Lois McMaster Bujold.
