Whatcha reading now?

This is just a random post to let you all know I’m still around. Kind of busy these days with all the kids.

Anyways, seeing how much I love Game of Thrones on HBO, I decided to read the book, but I couldn’t get into it. I might try again, or maybe not, because I enjoy the show so much that I don’t want to ruin it. (I was so surprised at the red wedding episode!!)

So then I tried Lord’s Fall by Thea Harrison (I enjoy her books), but it just wasn’t doing it for me either.

It might just be my frame of mind lately, or how busy and exhausted I am.

I am reading and enjoying First Grave on the Right by Darynda Jones. I’m not reading it as fast as I normally would because for some reason it won’t open on my nook, only on my laptop, and laptops are no fun to read on.

Are there any amazing new books out there that I’ve been too busy to notice? lol.

Also, my favorite book, Outlander by Diana Gabaldon, is being made into a series on Starz! Yay!

Goodnight! 🙂

Q: Have you ever read a book that you thought you would hate — ? Did you end up hating it? Did you end up loving it? Or would you never do that?

A pretty simple answer. Honestly, I really value my time, especially with having three kids three and under. So no, I wouldn’t read a book that I thought I would hate.

The reason I haven’t been on in months…

Since I’ve been out of the loop for a long time now, what are some good books for me to get started on? (When I have the time!) 🙂

The Fever series by Karen Marie Moning!  Mac killing the Unseelie, etc.  Plus, I just would really like to see this series as a movie(s)….as long as it was well done.  🙂

I wasn’t sure if I wanted to write a review on this book or not.  I’m just wary about hurting people’s feelings.   Writing a bad review on a popular book with hundreds of reviews is much different than writing one on a book that’s out there with only a few reviews on Goodreads or Amazon.  I feel bad if I bring down the author’s rating, especially because I received this book for free from the author herself.  Also, to even write a book is a huge accomplishment in itself.  So Ms. Hughart, I hope this doesn’t hurt your feelings, and I applaud you for being able to write a book at all; it’s definitely something I would never be able to do.

I actually read this book back in July, and then I fell really ill for a few months.  So while I don’t remember every detail, I do remember some things.  I felt like there was a character or two in the story (the nurse being one) who had no place in it.  I feel like her character could totally be removed and not affect the story at all.  I don’t like when the point of view shifts, and I like it even less when a secondary character (nurse) pops up very late in the book with one.  It just takes me out of the story because by that point in the book, the reader already has a feel for the characters; so to jump into someone else’s head at that time in the story, just isn’t for me.

Also, I read the whole book and finished it.  This is a good thing; there have been some (few) where I just give up.  However, I feel like finishing it was also a bad thing; something horrific happens at the end with no closure at all.  The story just ends.  After reading the whole book, to get to an ending like that, sort of made me a wee bit upset.  I understand having cliffhangers, perhaps there was going to be a sequel?  But I always like the protagonist(s) to have at least some hope, you know?  Especially with an ending like this one.

That’s pretty much it, but like I have said before, even though I didn’t like it, doesn’t mean that you won’t.

 

Have a great weekend everyone.

 

My Rating:  1 ½  out of 5 stars

 

Happy reading!
