Please include links to your Goodreads reviews for books you liked, didn’t necessarily love and unsure whether you’d recommend to friends. Make sure you include the title and author with your links.

Phrynne | 1274 comments Here's one I just finished. It could have been so much better! The author ignored so many possibilities.

I hope you enjoy it more than I did Sandra :) It's long winded which might actually work better on audio!

Carol | 2262 comments I gave the book 3 stars but it was slow and never really ever picked up, plus there are some topics that are not going to appeal to some reader.

Liz | 790 comments I just finished Three Sisters Three Sisters (The Tattooist of Auschwitz, #3) by Heather Morris

A real disconnect between synopsis and story. I ended up giving it 3.5 stars, it really struggled with the rating because of this. My review:

My Review:ttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4259793...

I gave the book 2.5 stars but Goodreads shows it as 3 because they don't do half stars.

Wendy (wendyblue1) | 71 comments I read this for book club.

Border: A Journey to the Edge of Europe Border A Journey to the Edge of Europe by Kapka Kassabova by Kapka Kassabova

I found I missed parts even though I had read them. It just didn't capture my interest at times.


Julie In Wonderland (julieinfictionland) | 20 comments I wanted to love Under the Whispering Door by T.J. Klune Under the Whispering Door by T J Klune so much
But found out it’s neither here or there for me.

My Review:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Not a bad story at all just too much jumping back and forth.

That's true...and just think how angry we'd all be if she killed off Kate:)

I’d just like one book where she’s uninjured!

I know what you mean. I read a series by Amy Lane, I call it the "Fish" series.. "Fish Out of Water"..."Red Fish, Blue Fish" etc... anyway EVERY book one of the cute main characters always ends up in the hospital. Of course he does get shot at, blown up, run over...you name it. I always wished Amy Lane had let him spend more time in a bed other than a hospital bed:)

Exactly!!

Jonetta (ejaygirl) | 703 comments Mod
Yes, it’s fiction. Just not good fiction. And the answer doesn’t have to be to kill off Kate, quite the opposite.

Haha! Definitely not :)
