Today is the day!!!  Come on FIFTY!!!!

Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


Too many reminders of Twilight. New girl moves to town she is more beautiful than she thinks. Neighbor starts a love/hate relationship with her. Of course he is gorgeous and he is OTHER. AND he has a sister which of course is her new bff.  She begins to figure out something is different with them until he has to tell her. Then he debates from protecting his family to protecting her...etc..etc.. she seemed very juvenile in her responses. He could be downright mean and rude to her but yet she was still super excited to see him. Like wow he totally likes me!!! or not. I want a heroine with a back bone who CAN turn away from the hot gorgeous hard ab guy and make him suffer for hurting her.  Where are THOSE girls???   it had great sexual tension but that was about it.

The Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


wonderful love story like always from Nicholas Sparks with its share of anguish. I escape to books for romance and happily ever after but Sparks fools you and manages to throw real life in his books.

The Sweet Gum Tree by Katherine Allred

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I really liked Alix and Nick, their story is just so real. It seems like they are real people having all these problems. I figured out the ending before it was revealed but I totally enjoyed getting there. After a life of having their relationship tested it seems like they finally had some peace and happiness. I was a bit disappointed when we are finally revealed why Nick had to leave town years ago.  I felt we could have had a much better story there at the end but I was still very happy with the whole story and seeing how they fell in love.

What to read, what to read???

Am I the only person who goes through lots of blogs and stalks Amazon trying to find the next perfect book?  I will see a great review for a book on my favorite blogs and immediately download a sample for my kindle and then to later find that sample didn't interest me at all.  I'm in an unhappy place.  Nothing calls me.  I don't have the drive to start a new series and understand that authors personal take on vampires, werewolves, Fae, or whatever else is in there.  I dont' know how to read "normal" romances anymore if the male lead is not an alpha or sprouts canines then he is too boring.  Now what??
Do I continue reading the breed series by Lora Leigh that I had dropped after Harmony's way?


Do I read Kresley Cole's Immortals after dark series to see if the second time around it will pull me into it's spell like it seems to have done to everybody else?


I'm only TEN books behind on this series....big deal  :)
