Rowena: After the read-a-thon last week, it’s been a much quieter week of reading for me this time around. Â I read Do or Die by Suzanne Brockmann, Pivot Point by Kasie West and The Distance Between Us by Kasie West. Â Right now, I’m reading Split Second by Kasie West (I’m addicted to her stuff) and then after I finish this, I’m going to do a quick re-read of Into the Deep by Samantha Young. Â I’m looking forward to my weekend of reading. =)
Holly: I’ve been mostly reading short stories or category length books this week. I haven’t had time for much else. Most of them were free downloads I thought sounded interesting.
I finished Air Bound by Christine Feehan. I really enjoyed it.
Fresh Temptation by Reeni Austin is a contemp about a billionaire and a single mother. I wasn’t very impressed with it. Both characters irritated me and there were a lot of editing issues.
Finding Cinderella by Colleen Hoover is a novella that came on my radar when Atria announced it was going to publish it in print thanks to a big push by fans on Twitter. I have to admit, it was a wonderful story. Not wonderful enough to pay $9 (which is what the print will be priced at) for, but I’d definitely recommend downloading it if you haven’t already.
Werewolf Love Story Part 1 by H.T. Night was just okay. Parts of it were interesting but there were a lot of problems with it. I haven’t decided if I’m curious enough to read the next story. The way I’m feeling today? No.
First Ink and Shattered Ink by Laura Wright were pretty good. I had some issues with the way the story developed but I did zip right through them.
Misunderstandings by Tiffany King was good. There were quite a few misunderstandings as the title implies, but I was wrapped up in the story.
Last night I re-read Sweet Dreams by Kristen Ashley mostly because I couldn’t focus on anything else.
If I get time I’m going to start Between the Devil and Ian Eversea by Julie Anne Long tonight. I’m pretty excited.
What are you reading this week? Â Anything good?
Sounds like I need to look into Kasie West! I’m reading a Love Inspired, Christmas Countdown, by Vicki Hinze. I normally don’t have a lot of trouble suspending belief, but the plot of this book just seems so unrealistic to me, I almost gave up on it at one point. I’d never read this author before.
My only other read this past week was Big Brother by Lionel Shriver. I love her writing, but the twist at the end left me still not sure how I felt about it! I guess if I’m still thinking about it though, that says something.
Oh man, you’ve got me hankering for more Kristen Ashley. I have like 3 of her books on my Kindle but can only read one at a time! Decisions, decisions!
Which KA books do you have waiting?
I’m reading Douglas, by Grace Burrowes. I do love her historicals. And boy, am I jealous of you–I’d love to have Between the Devil and Ian Eversea up next on my TBR! Have fun.
I love Long’s Pennyroyal Green books, but I’m not feeling historicals right now. Do I start it and hope it pulls me from my historical funk, or do I put it off in case my funk kills it for me? Decisions, decisions.
I definitely think it says something if you’re still thinking about it. I think about that sometimes with books I really, really dislike. If I feel such passionate hatred for the story or the characters, at least I can say the author engaged my emotions, right?
