Waiting for June by Joyce Sweeney
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Can't say I was a fan. I really didn't believe the characters but I wanted to. Some of the story was OK the rest was simply eh...I am just glad it was short and I didn't have to force myself into reading more.

The Interestings by Meg Wolitzer
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I'm sorry but my head just wasn't in the game. I got about halfway through until I just had no desire to move forth....It wasn't a bad read it just wasn't a fantastic read where I wanted to continue on. Maybe another day I will pick it up and continue on but that seems unlikely.....

A Review

The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I only rate this 2 stars because it was too emotional. I sided with both families and just couldn't bare either one. I couldn't choose a side and I definitely hated the ending. It was an emotional rollercoaster and I am not to keen on books such as these. I have 2 girls 4 and 5 and the books just took it's tole on me.

Review: Blue Nude - Elizabeth Rosner

Genre: Fiction
ISBN: 9781439173084
Published: September 2010
Pages: 200
Rating: 2/5 Stars
Read: September 2012

I really could not get into this book. I felt like I was reading the same pages over and over again except now and then something good would happen and I would get all excited and then I would turn the page and it was the beginning again. Maybe my pages were stuck together?

It is a very poetic story, in which I like on occasion, but this just dragged. Every page was about painting and drawing and about her body and how she (Merav) was a model and why and blah and blah. I liked the "historical" parts but then it faded and we were back to art. Maybe others would like this book but as for me....not so much!

Review: Fifty Shades Darker - E.L. James

Genre: Romantic Fiction (?)
Pages: 394
Format: eBook (nook)
Published: September 2011
Rating: 2/5 Stars
Read: April 2012
Series: Fifty Shades #2

I wrote a review way back when I finished it and then some freaky reason it was erased and I just haven't mustered up the stamina to write another one but I just can't sit on it forever so here goes....

I can't say I am a fan. I read the second in the series simply because I was hoping that I would not be lost in the sea of the fan fictioners. I thought that maybe, just maybe, that it was only the first that was terrible but then I realized that I wasted time in my life that I am never getting back. I mean, it was  "terrible, horrible" but it wasn't "Holy Hell" either. I read it right? so that's gotta stand for something. I can tell you that I will not read the third unless it is free and I have nothing else to read but given that I have a nook and over 600 books in my apartment I can't really see that happening.

I disliked it for the same reasons why I dislike Twilight I just couldn't stand the winy-ness but at least there was sex whereas is the latter......

Something good did come from this, it broadened my mind to what is out there and also that sex is sex is sex and should be embraced and not wasted on BS or not even being used. I also found out what BenWa balls where but those are my positives.

I can see however why many women like it because it's soft pron like Skinemax. I get it. I do but I am not joining in on the fun. I simply can't but I am giving a thumbs up to those who do like it. I am not judging you, just the book.

Review: After the Moment - Garret Freymann-Weyr

Genre: YA Fiction

Format: Small Hardcover

ISBN: 9780618605729

Pages: 328

Published: May 2009

Rating: 2/5 Stars

It seems like very few people are giving this book a 2 star rating but I just couldn't get through it. I was bored and felt somewhat disconnected. I just felt like it was too drawn out in the beginning and just took forever to get to the point of it all. The very beginning (titled: A Few Pages) was so inviting that that is what kept me motivating to finish and yet I still couldn't. Maybe it is just my adult mind wanting and expecting more but I just thought that it fell flat and took me a long and hard time to finish something that seemed so simple.

I was bored.
