This weekend I read 2 that I've been so excited about, and they're both just, well, not as good as I was expecting. I read REAL by Kate Evans, gave it a 3.5. I'm halfway through Connected by Kim Karr, so far it too is just ok. If you're going to do instalove, I have to believe it so you'd best write it really well, and this is just ok for me. |

I don't do alot of laughing when I read. Christie Craig is probably one of the few authors who does hit my funny bone. Janet Evanovich would be another. I may smile say Oh Gawd or roll my eyes but I seldom look like I've lost it. |

I just finished up a few books, and seriously of the last five I've read, only one has rated above a two-star. I think there are a lot of under-worked editors out there... and I need to take a break from New Adult books. Time to pick one from my historical romance TBR pile! |

Alternately reading / listening to The Fiery Cross because I love Diana Gabaldon and I can exercise and get stuff done around the house with headphones in my ears. Also reading The Practice Proposal by Tracy March because it's baseball season.

Another author that I find to be laugh out loud funny is Jill Shalvis. |

No, in REAL I got the romance, but as you said, it's probably the other 'issues' that bothered me. ie his 'issue' didn't seem realistic to me, IMO. But I will admit that the ending, well I didn't see it coming, so that's why it went from a 3 to 3.5 for me. And I don't usually like romantic comedies either, but Wallbanger was so incredibly well done for romance with just great comedy mixed in, it surprised the heck out of me! OH and I forgot that on Friday I finished up Second Chance Boyfriend by Monica Murphy and loved it, even more than the first one. I really like her writing style and characters. |

Now Jill's real life does get to me. You know yesterday she had a cougar walk through her yard and early this week while hiking she spotted a coyote. She lives in Lake Tahoe if I remember right. |

People seem to either love or hate the Outlander series. I have the series in hard copy, got the first Kindle book for free, paid slightly reduced for the other books at various times, and got I think most of the Audible books at a reduced price. I'm confused about that because I have been buying various series through Audible since the fall.
Not all of the Audible versions in the series are up to date with WhisperSync. |

I know at Audible I can return any book up to a year I didn't like for credit so I'm not too worried. I just wish I would of known that before the Black Dagger books expired earlier this year. I have one and two and well the narrator is horrible. I got these before I learned what kind of narrators I like. |

I also completed Elite and didn't like it. Just like with The Bet, some of the responsibilities she assigns to the hero seem so implausible at his age, yet the book felt so juvenile at the same time. Also, it has a cliffhanger ending (things that make me go 'grrr' ) and an unresolved love triangle. |
