Looking on the bright side - at least it's no longer languishing?<br /><br />AL: I haven't read a Super in a while and ugh - this was not the one to pick.<br /><br />Jill: I'm all about DNF'ing Challenge books but my reading has been so dismal lately that I didn't leave myself enough time to pick something different. Will I ever learn? Glad to hear you finally landed on a book you enjoyed!<br /><br />Becca: LOL - "handing out kids like party favours" - that's EXACTLY what it reads like. The whole thing is just so painfully contrived.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485867264936716806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-31278245312888782762020-02-20T11:08:49.511-08:002020-02-20T11:08:49.511-08:00Ugh, that's a real shame!

It sucks when the only reason your romance plot hangs together is because everyone involved decided to act like a total idiot but I've admittedly never seen a book so badly plotted that hospitals were handing out kids like party favours (◔_◔)<br /><br />Sorry to hear about your dismal slump! I hope it gets better soonBeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04765595642766419168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-9364295708947598872020-02-20T03:03:43.184-08:002020-02-20T03:03:43.184-08:00Boo.

So instead I did "Get a Life, Chloe Brown" by Talia Hibbert. I had actually checked this out of the library last year, had to return it before I finished it, bought it on a whim when it was on sale and then promptly forgot about it. So yeah for the TBR challenge. <br />Chloe is Black British woman who has fibromyalgia (sp?) and a loving, if a bit smothering family. A near death experience makes her decide she has to live life to the fullest and she moves out of the family home and crosses paths with Redmond, her new buildiing super. He's also a painter with some serious emotional baggage in his past. I mean, they try being just friends for a little bit, so it almost fits the theme.<br />I found it pretty charming and sweet and I'm glad I tried it b/c I've read two Talia Hibberts before and had to DNF in spite of all the praise.So I found one that worked for me and I definitely want to read the next one in the series. I'd probably give it an A-. <br />Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15364220221782320521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-60975382327986682662020-02-19T21:55:56.655-08:002020-02-19T21:55:56.655-08:00"Hot mess" seems kind, tbh."Hot mess" seems kind, tbh.aztecladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14857872357667370906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-48455554134986826202020-02-19T17:56:07.733-08:002020-02-19T17:56:07.733-08:00oh boy - that does sound like a mess.

And so much to look forward to next month. :)Dorinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02091485214243243002noreply@blogger.com
