Last one I did was when we moved - which has been nearly 3 years ago now (?). Harlequins especially - because I collect them fairly rapidly, and my tastes change, I try authors who I discover don't work for me etc.<br /><br />Glad to hear the cooler weather is helping with your mojo!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485867264936716806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-28783036915645558002020-09-17T15:19:53.452-07:002020-09-17T15:19:53.452-07:00Your comment about the 21 year old cracked me up. ...Your comment about the 21 year old cracked me up. Like you, I have a Harlequin shelving unit. I realize I overdid it on subscriptions AND conference gobble-ups. I may end up doing a clean sweep as we're having some remodeling done, and I need storage room. Sometimes I think it would be fun to start fresh with the TBR. Question is - can I do it? LOL<br /><br />I'm reading a digital book I got in 2013. Not done yet so my review will be late, but so far, it has held my interest.<br /><br />Like you, I think I'm getting my reading mojo back - now to work on the review writing mojo to catch up. The cooler weather has kicked my enthusiasm for books into overdrive.<br /><br />Hopefully next month will bring you some awesome books. :)Dorinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02091485214243243002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-49949211497222084752020-09-17T10:19:00.514-07:002020-09-17T10:19:00.514-07:00RND: I'm cautiously optimistic that I'm ge...RND: I'm cautiously optimistic that I'm getting some reading mojo back. I got quite a bit of reading done over the Labor Day weekend and think I just need to accept I should stick with category romance right now. Now if I would just stop requesting books from work and read languishing ARCs...LOL<br /><br />Jill: They did - I suspect because they're freaked about their aging reading demographic and competition from self-publishing. And I agree with you, a very little seasoning. Too much, given how rapidly time marches on, and it just ages a contemporary story very quickly.<br /><br />Ugh, and yeah - Truth or Dare for supposed grown-ups? Not for me either.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485867264936716806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-26339478978034741512020-09-16T17:11:44.119-07:002020-09-16T17:11:44.119-07:00Boo, that's a shame.

I feel like Harlequin went through a period where they really embraced pop culture references in lines like Dare b/c they thought it would bring them a chick lit/Sex in the City crowd. Not really sure if that worked out for them. I kind of like it in contemporaries, but it is a seasoning where a little goes a long way.<br /><br />I'm still reading my challenge and I may finish it, but it's taken a weird turn. Grown adults who don't know each other very well (and aren't drunk) playing Truth or Dare. If this were YA/New Adult (or erotica), I'd let it go, but people in their late 20s or 30s with grown-ass jobs and lives? Why? It felt like the author really needed something to happen, so this happened to push the plot along. I felt second hand embarrassment for them.<br /><br />Onward!<br />Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15364220221782320521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-593771090822311422020-09-16T07:55:35.973-07:002020-09-16T07:55:35.973-07:00I think that heroine would have annoyed me to no e...I think that heroine would have annoyed me to no end, too.<br /><br />I haven’t posted anything for the challenge this month because I feel literally brain-challenged to come up with any words on books I’ve been reading. I’ve been meaning to try Penny Reid. I own the first Winston Brothers book, but since my library had the audios, I’ve been listening to the audios. I’m currently in the middle of the third audiobook, Beard Science. These have been fun and have so far satisfied my desire for something easy and breezy to listen to. Humor helps with the attention span and general burn out issues I’ve been having.<br />RNDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05564882872274678037noreply@blogger.com
