I am still here! December was so crazy at work, I just never found time to update. So far, its been a Nora Roberts year. I have read Year one and Stars of Fortune. Stars is an older book and I have the whole trilogy. Will be diving into the 2nd book soon. Year one is darker than her others. I cant wait until the next one comes out....
Mod
December was crazy for me too! I totally understand!
I really enjoy Nora Roberts. It's been a long time since I've ready any of her work though! I'll add those to our list :)
Just finished The Spy by Paulo Coelho. I looooove Paulo Coelho. But how disappointing was this book? I gave it 2 Stars.
Mod
I HATE it when my favorite authors have books that disappoint. Its almost sad, because you expect so much and it's a let down :(
And I haven't heard of Paulo Coelho, so I'm going to go look at some of his books!
Mod
How are you enjoying the Red Queen series so far?! It's been on my TBR forever. I need to pick them up!

I like it! Not the best series I've ever read, but definitely interesting and different from other books of the same genre. I would say it's very much worth a read! A few twists and turns really keep you guessing.

He wrote The Alchemist, which is one of my all time faves! Definitely start with that one.

Thanks! I was in a nasty car accident last month that hurt my back so I've had a lot of down time. But I can't complain because it's allowed me to catchup up on some reeding! :)

I mean, you could still complain... I hope you feel better and heal up soon!! <3
My reading is still slow as molasses but I finally finished A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas. Sooooooo good.
Just finished Faithful by Alice Hoffman yesterday. I’m giving out 5 starts like CANDY lately.
Mod
I really need to read that series!! I've heard the best things about it!!
Mod
It is a sort of filler between the main books of the Lorien Legacies series. Or the I Am Number Four series if that is more familiar for you.
It's a REALLY underrated series in my opinion!

It's been a stellar month for reading for me. Not a lot compared to many or most, but loads more than I usually read!The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult ★★� .5
The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey ★★ .5
Girl, Interrupted by Susanna Kaysen ★★★★
Across the Universe by Beth Revis ★★ .5
This was the most surprising because this was a reread, but the male narrator was awful, and it had a lot of other plot holes and problems I saw right through this time around.
Mod
The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult ★★� .5
[book:..."
I've been wanting to read The Storyteller and Across the Universe.
What would you say you didn't like about Across the Universe?
I'm always nervous to read scifi/romance because sometimes its just awful and stereotypical. There are a few out there that are wonderful, but I've found that they are few and far between.

To be fair, most of them have been audio book since the kittens wont let me multi task lol
Got a few more in before midnight! The Scroungers--Plight of the Hidden by Max B. Hundkopf 4.8 stars. (Almost a 5 but the author is a bit redundant in his writing and it bothered me a little bit. Other than that I really liked it.)
Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter 3 stars
River's Edge by Terri Blackstock 4 stars
Mod
