It's Friday! Have You Turned Into A Book Yet? [3]

I just started this meme thing and I'm already slacking. *sigh*

XXX

"It's Friday! Have You Turned Into A Book Yet?" is inspired by the #fridayreads Twitter meme, Book Journey's "It's Monday! What Are You Reading?", Should Be Reading's "WWW Wednesdays", Tynga's Reviews "Stacking the Shelves" and the various other book haul memes, and probably a few others I can't remember right now.

All covers/book title links lead to Goodreads.



I'm not liking it as much as the first book, Crash (see Past Reads), but I AM liking it. I love that it's the second book in a contemp romance series that focuses on the same characters throughout.


I put this on hold when Crash came in the mail. I haven't gotten very far into it yet, but I like it already!


I got a review copy of The Goddess Inheritance from the author last week, so I figured it was time to start the Goddess short story collection.


I'm really excited to start this, it sounds so good! And the movie comes out in less than a month, so I need to get reading.


I'm always looking for. . .darker, I guess you could say, contemp romances, so when Crash got traditionally pubbed I ordered it right away. And I'm happy I did. While I did have a few small issues with the story, overall I loved it!


This was a bowlful of awesome. Again, while there were a few small issues I had, overall I LOVED it!

Nothing came in the mail this week. :(

Prepare yourselves, this week brought a bucket and a half of book news. And I put it under a cut, because WOW this section made the post long.

It's (Not) Friday! Have You Turned Into A Book Yet?

This is way late, I'm sorry. Anyway, I'm traveling for the holidays so I'll be on another hiatus, but hopefully this one won't be nearly as long as my previous ones.

I've just just just started this, so I don't have much to say, but I'm loving reading from Warner's POV.


I was reading this, but I put it on hold while I read Shatter Me. I'm not very far into, so I don't know what I think about it yet, either.


I just picked this up yesterday, because I was reading Shatter Me and this kinda seemed like the opposite MC power-wise, so I figured I give it a shot.

Also, I read a book/short story where the MC was a healer who discovered that she took injuries onto herself then healed herself. I can't remember the title, do any of you know what book I'm talking about?


I'm really excited to start this, it sounds SOOO good!


I re-read this for Pitch Dark's re-read-a-thon, and I loved it even more the second time around!


My plan was to save this for vacation, but I just couldn't wait, so I read it and LOVED it! I think I liked it even more than I liked Perfect Chemistry.

I got these Altered bookmarks from the author, the lovely Jennifer Rush.

No Book News this week, there were a few updated-cover reveals, so I'll link them below, but I don't have time to do a write up.

The Rules by Stacey Kade got a new font and altered cover image. IceyBooks revealed the update.
Jean BookNerd revealed the updated cover for The Nightmare Affair by Mindee Arnett. This one took me FOREVER to figure out the change, only the girl on the cover changed.
