freewind886. 50 Shades of Grey
Good book, sexy, saucy, but I didn’t love it enough to read the next two books. I liked it for the sex scenes, not for the plot and I found myself skimming a lot untiL I got to the juicy parts. 12 months ago

This book was one I couldn’t put down. I am debating reading the other 2 books in this trilogy because I found after awhile the story was the same thing over and over again with all the kinky sex. I might give the next two a go after I finish up some other books.
It’s def a book that’ll get you hot and bothered. LOL12 months ago
Such a great book. I love comedy and I love the office so this was a win win for me to read. Mindy writes like we are best friends and she is just telling me a story. Loved it! 12 months ago
Not only have I loved watching Tina act on tv and write one of the greatest girl movies ever (hello Mean Girls) she is also a very funny author. I was very excited to sink my teeth into this book. She is classy and humorous all at the same tine. 12 months ago
Pretty good, i love the idea of the story but wasn’t too crazy about it as some people (sorry!!) 13 months ago

4. Prozac Nation: Interesting and as a future therapist was valuable in understanding depression from the author’s perspective (this book is a memoir). 16 months ago
I’ve actually had this goal done for quite some time now, but never got around to adding the last three books and marking it complete. I’m still on a Tamora Pierce kick.
41. Trickster’s Choice by Tamora Pierce
42. Trickster’s Queen by Tamora Pierce
43. Sandry’s Book by Tamora Pierce 18 months ago
Nice read, interesting. I had a very similar upbringing as the daughters in this book. 18 months ago
Another batch of Tamora Pierce read and loved. I just look at is as having to get all the reading I would get done in November done early because once NaNoWriMo starts I won’t have time to read at all! Or time to sleep for that matter. lol

I’ve been a little obsessed with Tamora Pierce lately. The library just bought almost all of her books and I haven’t been able to stop reading them since I processed them. I’m feeling much more like my bookwormish self recently.
31. The Woman Who Rides Like a Man
32. Lioness Rampant
33. Wild Magic
34. Wolf-Speaker
35. Emperor Mage
36. The Realms of the Gods

Book one, done! It was a uplifting book, I liked it. 20 months ago
Not quite as good as the first book. Some parts felt a little unfinished and it jumped huge spaces in time without warning or explanation. Still a very enjoyable book. 20 months ago
I read this book in one sitting. At times I feel silly for still reading books from the young adult section, but I can always just use the excuse that I went to school and studied to be a children’s/YA librarian so it’s just research. ;)
In reality, this book was wonderful and Tamora Pierce is one of my favorite authors. I loved being able to escape for the three/fours hours it took me to read it. I love that books have the ability to do that. And goodness knows, I needed it that escape this week. 20 months ago
I decided to take a break from the Wheel of Time. It’s not that it isn’t a good series. There are just too many other books that I want to read!
26. Dark Gold by Christine Feehan
27. Dark Magic by Christine Feehan
28. Dark Prince by Christine Feehan
These are guilty pleasure books. The writing is absolutely horrendous and the plot is the same in every book, but I still love them. lol 20 months ago
As is the way with series, I can’t say much about the book without spoiling things from the first one, but I’m in awe of this author. I remember being a little overwhelmed by these books back in high school and that makes a lot of sense. There are so many characters and plots all weaved together. The world lost quite a talent when he passed away. I’m really enjoying the series. On to book three! :) 22 months ago
As of right now this goal is just for overflow from my A-Z challenge. :)

I have so many books I want to read, but for some reason I decided to get involved in a book series that’s 14 books long with all books having 600-900 pages. Good thing is, I loved the first book. At times it got a bit to descriptive for me, but the characters kept me interested. I’m already 100 pages into the next book. :) 22 months ago

Interesting book. The author definitely has a quirky sense of humor! 23 months ago
I knew going into the book that it wasn’t going to be anything like the musical, but I can’t believe how much they differ! Where did the musical come from???
In the beginning I was really hooked, but about 300 pages in I started to waver and it took me forever to pick it back up again.
I’m disappointed that I didn’t like it because of how much I loved the musical. I was looking forward to getting a more in depth look at the characters and instead the characters were completely different people!
This is the second book I’ve tried to read by Gregory Maguire and I just haven’t been much of a fan. :( 23 months ago
