Books I read January 2015

It took me most of the month to get into reading in the least, but finally I found something silly and compelling and enjoyable. 

reread:

none

new: 

1. This is Where I Leave You - Jonathan Tropper very well written, but slightly depressing and I just couldn't get through it. I actually started this before Christmas, but I felt that the 42 pages I read in December did not justify putting it on that list.

2. Coffee at Luke's - Jennifer Cruisie et al Cute, forgettable. Not my style but I do love Gilmore Girls.

3. Where She Went - Gayle Forman I liked this better than the first, and I've found that people (like myself) that thought the first was too melodramatic liked this one better, and those who loved the first found this too answer-y and explain-y. Good though.

4. Death of Bees - Lisa O'Donnell Oh my, I didn't want to finish this AT ALL but I did, and I was glad I did. It was hard to read, hard to get into and hard to care. I actually surprised myself by caring at the end - I really enjoyed the ending, the pace of it and the abruptness. 

5. Catalyst - Laurie Halse Anderson I'm still trudging through this, but because of the amount of time I spent listening to the audiobook I'm keeping it here. I'm still waiting for SOMETHING to happen, and I'm going to find where I left off on audio and flash through it in print. Sidenote - Samantha Mathis is the narrator of the audio and I really enjoyed that although mostly I just wanted to go back and watch The Thing Called Love for the millionth time.

6. Poison Princess - Kresley Cole I am friends with the daughter of a friend of a friend on facebook for the express reason that we share the same taste in books. This is her very favorite series, so I decided to check it out. I wasn't sure about the beginning - lots of cliche imagery about the blonde/blue-eyed bombshell protagonist, blah blah ... but it turned out excellent. I really enjoyed it, and the second one (below) and now I'm waiting impatiently for the third to be available from Overdrive.

7. Endless Knight - Kresley Cole same.
