My Reading Progress 2014

January 1, 2014 By Maryse Leave a Comment

This is my list of the books I’ve read (am reading) this year, to help me keep track.

(P.S. I’ll leave quick summary/feeling notes next to the ones I haven’t reviewed yet. I do intend on reviewing the majority of ‘em. In fact, reviews for ALL of them would be great!)

Marked by J.M. Sevilla – 4 stars Raw by Belle Aurora – 4 stars (reviewed) – dark contemporary romance Brutally Beautiful by Christine Zolendz – 4 stars Let It Be Me by Toni Aleo – 3.5 to 4 stars Break In Two by MJ Summers <— got to 63% and put it down for now. I’m not connecting to the love story unfortunately, even though there has been angst. Something about the dialogue and story flow and frequent sex scenes had me skimming a lot. Normally I would have put ti down at about 40% but I had to know what the jaw-dropping twist was (that i was told about) at 61%. Okay I got to it. Potentially interesting and will surely get even more angsty but for now, I’m taking a break. Forbidden by Tabitha Suzuma – 5 stars Fighting for Irish by Gina Maxwell <— put it down at 68%. Good writing, but I found myself starting and stopping it too frequently. I was lacking a certain connection to it overall, so I put it down and will pick it back up later. Remembering Us by Stacey Lynn <— reviewed – 4 to 4.5 stars Used by Lynetta Halat <— reviewed – 3.5 stars Come to Me Quietly by A.L. Jackson <— reviewed – 4 stars Mine to Lose by T.K. Rapp <— reviewed – 4 stars Archer’s Voice by Mia Sheridan <— reviewed – 5 stars!!

My Reading Progress 2013

January 1, 2013 By Maryse 9 Comments

This is my list of the books I’ve read (am reading) this year, to help me keep track. I read 145 in 2012. Let’s see if I can beat it!

(P.S. I’ll leave quick summary/feeling notes next to the ones I haven’t reviewed yet. I do intend on reviewing the majority of ‘em. In fact, reviews for ALL of them would be great!)

P.P.S. An important note: There are some below that I did not finish (yet), but it doesn’t mean I won’t. I have a touch of “squirrel” syndrome and I’m always looking for one that just GRABS me and won’t let go. In fact, I know that a few that I didn’t finish yet, are absolute favorites for so many of my fellow readers, so I will be backtracking over a few, for sure! read more

My Reading Progress 2012

January 11, 2012 By Maryse 29 Comments

This is my list of the books I’ve read this year, to help me keep track. I read 110 in 2011. Let’s see if I can beat it!

(P.S. I’ll leave quick summary/feeling notes next to the ones I haven’t reviewed yet. I do intend on reviewing the majority of ’em. In fact, reviews for ALL of them would be great!)

Breaking Free by Cherise Sinclair – abused woman in hiding from her “Master” husband meets a new “Master” who works to ease her back into trusting, again. (Good!! If you’re into reading that sort of thing ;). Review to come – 4 stars An Unlikely Pair by Carla Krae (short story – two high school students/neighbors become friends. She’s shy, he’s the high school rock star. She crushes… he treats her like a kid sister). Quite good – I wanted to go on to book #2 however reviews are really *iffy* about it. Callum & Harper by Fisher Amelie (I didn’t love this as much as other readers say they did, unfortunately. It had it’s good moments and so much potential but had too many moments that had me more irritated then anything. Too much drama for the sake of drama, unbelievable life circumstances, much too far-fetched for me to accept it. —  2 stars) Gateway to Heaven (reviewed) Obsidian by Jennifer L Armentrout (reviewed) Willing Victim by Cara McKenna (reviewed) Wild Man by Kristen Ashley (reviewed) Lothaire by Kresley Cole (reviewed)
