I hate that feeling of "I don't get it". LOL None of Star Wars movies held the same magic as the first for me. That's probably part of why I haven't rushed out either.<br /><br />After the Rain is very different. There are definitely parts I should have hated, and I remember being annoyed, but I couldn't stop reading, either. Authors that mix me up like that fascinate me. LOL<br /><br />It'll be fun to see what strikes us this year. :)Dorinehttp://thezestquest.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-36698366267389551652018-01-04T08:29:11.501-08:002018-01-04T08:29:11.501-08:00S: I hope so too!

I don't know what it was about that Carlino book. It's not perfect and there were things about it that should have annoyed me more but....they didn't. I was simply riveted while reading it.<br /><br />My brain literally shuts down over too much hype. It's not just a problem I have with books, I do the same thing with movies and TV shows. It's fear of disappointment maybe? That I won't like it as much as everyone else did and I'll be "missing out?" Or it could just be because I'm a head case LOL. Says the girl who can't muster up any enthusiasm to see the new Star Wars....Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485867264936716806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-22208281386569346022018-01-03T10:38:24.867-08:002018-01-03T10:38:24.867-08:00I really like your list, Wendy. Like you, my 2017 ...I really like your list, Wendy. Like you, my 2017 was rough, and I ended up with 70 books read. I went into the realm of children's books to get it done. LOL I decided to be less lofty with a goal of 50 this year.<br /><br />My romance reading is pathetic - I just can't find many that make sense to me. I still have hope and a huge TBR to dig through to find some in 2018. So far, my January short short is promising.<br /><br />I'm glad to see Renee Carlino on here. I'll put this one on my list. I enjoyed After the Rain and Wish You Were Here, so you might want to try those. After the Rain is the one I am most confused about - why I enjoyed it so much, but I really did and haven't forgotten it over a year later. I don't know why she pulls me in but I keep coming back for more.<br /><br />I run from the rambunctious squee books as well -- I might put them on my shelf, but I get far, far away from the squeeing before I read them. I wonder why we do that? LOL<br /><br />To be honest, every one of your books on this post look good to me. I'll have to add to the TBR, especially Gerritsen, who I've wanted to read, and the Jane Porter one. But, wait! I want to read What Remains of Me and The Forever Summer.<br /><br />You're a bad influence and I love it!
