August Judge a Book:

August 1, 2017 - August 31, 2017
Completed: 5/6

1. by Sam Pink
BLARGH!! ~ this face was like but on meth. The main character was definitely on something. It reminded me of a shallow version of the movie The Machinist. I couldn't look away though.
(8/1/17) (🖤🖤)
2. by Laird Barron ~ a really cool bookcover that incidentally gave me a title beginning in X but unfortunately the book was too short. I liked how weird it was. (8/5/17) (🖤🖤🖤)
3. by Jon Stewart ~ so dated. My brother would never understand at least 3/4 of this book. And honestly, a lot fell flat. :( (8/7/17) (🖤🖤🖤)
4. by Neil Gaiman ~ I so thought I'd love this book between the cool cover and the fact that it's Gaiman. Too bad I hated the first half. Disappointed. (8/13/17) (🖤🖤🖤)
5. by Carl Hiaasen ~ o my gosh this book exceeded all expectations. I needed a book set in Florida. A quick catalog check brought up this author's books. This novel was purple with a vole on the front. Jackpot. And then it happened to be hilarious. I loved it. (8/28/17) (🖤🖤🖤🖤) (Note: this book is a trash read.)

Welcome Kim E. So, you didn't like Into The Water? dang! I have that on my TBR."

If it's any consolation, almost everyone I know does like it. It was just too disjointed for me. Maybe better for you! :-)

WOOHOO Kim!

I heard the same thing about #1 Into the Water. I loved #5 Bared to You. The Crossfire series was better than Fifty Shades series, although very similar.

Thanks Joanne! I had no idea what the contents were when I started Bared to You. I've read the original version of Fifty Shades, which is completely a fan fiction book based on Edward and Bella . She just changed their names throughout. It was getting too popular on fan fiction for her. This better, but some situations hard to read. Still, I'm going to try book 2 and see what I think.
