Latest weekly book update

Another week has begun, and I am bored at work yet again. This is REALLY starting to get old. I have a busy week ahead of me (including a very exciting passion party at the neighbor's), but I think that maybe next week I have to start thinking about making a career/job change.

Until then...here's an update on what I've been reading lately.

  1. Walking Disaster by Jamie McGuire: Seriously? I'm not even sure I need to give this a review. Holy hell...Travis Maddox can be my book boyfriend...FOREVER. For those that aren't familiar, this is the Travis POV version of Jamie's Beautiful Disaster. So, the story was basically the same, but there were a lot of little interesting tidbits when told from Travis's POV. I will have to re-read this one eventually because I kept forgetting that "I" meant Travis and not Abby in this book. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: READ THESE BOOKS! I cannot wait for the movie to get cast. They better not F*#@ it up!
  2. Light in the Shadows by  A. Meredith Walters: This was book 2 in the Clay and Maggie series. Some may remember my Facebook post a month or two ago after I read the first book about it basically being the life story of my senior year of high school. This book was an amazing ending to the story. I cried numerous times, but it was so good and so real. Unless the author writes an epilogue or a book about a sub-character, there should only be the two books in this series. I highly recommend this series as well.
  3. Battlescars by Sophie Monroe: I picked this one up as my April Kindle Lending Library read because it was supposed to be a rock star book. This books was so pukey HEA and had very little rock star drama or angst. If you want to know what I thought of it, read only the 1-star reviews of it on Amazon. It pretty much sums up how I felt about it. Please do not waste your time or money. 
As this week at work looks grim yet again, I see a lot of reading in my near future. I expect to start Effortless by S.C. Stephens (book 2 in the series) later today. After that, I think I'm going to start some darker reads that I've been accumulating. All the HEA books are, again, making me sick.

Have a great week, and happy reading!
