Happy Friday !
Today I'm linking up with Alison for Puppies and Pretties Michelle from Blogs Like a Girl and Cat from Kitty Kitty La La for their Reading Lately linkup!
I was so excited when Alison posted about this a few weeks ago. I had big ideas of all the books I would read. I've tried book clubs in the past but with no time to read, and too much kid stuff in the evenings it never happend. So I thought this would be MUCH easier. My goal is for 2 books a month, but January was a busy month, so I managed one book. #fail.
Now I'm not going to be pretend I don't love her books, because I usually do. Reading her many trilogies got me back into reading again back in 2003. But they tend to be the same thing over and over again, and this one didn't really do it for me. There were a few surprises in there (of the supernatural kind, so if you don't find that cheesy, this book might be for you). But I found myself a bit disappointed. It was much easier to read in Mexico laying by the beach than at home. Could have been the mojitos - who's to say?
Next on my list to read is the growing book pile on my bedside table:
Yes, the book at the bottom is called Big Girl Panties. I think I bought this one at an airport lounge. I'm waiting for another beach for that one, because booze and sun help with the cheesy dialogue.
The kobo sitting on top is fully loaded with books I've never read and I love having it, but there is something about having an actual book that I love, so I've gone back to purchasing/asking for paper books. I'm old school I guess.
I think The Girl on the Train is my next book. Mainly because I think everyone else has read it, I might as well catch up. And then all the light we cannot see because my entire family is on me to read it.
I'm excited to see what others read! And if you have any book recommendations let me know!

Guys it took me all month ( and if I'm being honest I started this stupid book back in Mexico in November ) but I finished it.
Now what book took me this long to read? Must be pretty heavy reading right?
Nope.
Nora Roberts - Stars of Fortune.
