Reminded me a lot of Buffy the vampire slayer. Still a good read though.

I‘m at the halfway point here and my partner and I are about 90% through Guilty Pleasures. Feeling pretty confident that both books can be completed this weekend. Especially with it being a #24b4monday weekend

A reread for me. I remember really loving this series.

This started off fun, then just... lost me. It wasn't bad, but I never felt a pull to pick it back up after I'd put it down so I'm invoking the Life's Short clause.

I know lots of people who love this series (including the person I won it from in a blog giveaway seven years ago), so maybe you'll click with it where I couldn't. It IS pretty cute in places, despite the Dark! And! Dangerous! And! Sexy! cover.

Colleen Gleason does give good chapter title.

I read a bit more while I ate a Reese's Pieces doughnut at Tim Horton's. I usually find their doughnuts promise more than they can deliver, but this one was great! They never seem to put more than a tablespoon of creme in their filled varieties, though, and that ain't nearly enough. Dammit, Tim Horton's, stop being so frickin stingy!

SassyBookworm That looks delicious 😋 7y

twohectobooks Either Tim‘s donuts have gone downhill in recent years or I‘ve gotten pickier since childhood. Or of course it could be both. 7y
CouronneDhiver Downhill indeed. They use to be baked at the stores, and now they get shipped from a factory and “warmed up”. 😝 7y

It's borderline warm today (6 right now!), so I took a looooooong walk on which I stopped at McDonald's to try a caramel chocolate latte & read a bit more of THE REST FALLS AWAY.

The book's fun while I'm reading it, but I don't feel much of a pull towards it when I'm not. If something came up and I had to take a day's break from it, I'd probably bail on it by default. One of THOSE, y'know?

trazo Yum! How was the drink? ☕️ 7y
xicanti @trazo it was pretty good! I liked it more than the French Vanilla latte they rolled out earlier this year, but not as much as the Maple Caramel they offered before that. 7y
JoRead I had the same issue with it. It was interesting while reading it but then it ended and I was like, meh 😊 7y
xicanti @JoRead to be honest, I'd probably drift away from it right now if I hadn't won the whole series. I've heard they get better as they go along, so I want to finish this one and try at least the second book. 7y
JoRead @xicanti Maybe I should give it another try to the series then 😄 7y

1. So far my 2018 reading list is 76% women. That doesn't include my X-Men list, which I keep separate for longwinded reasons, but even given the franchise's dismal female creators tally I still read so many other books by women they come out ahead overall.
2. 14.
3. Fuchsia
4. I seem to have a fair amount of yellow and/or black, with a goodly quantity of green thrown in.
5. Nora Roberts. I'll get to her someday.
6. Cause.

Kaye Thanks ♥️ 7y

Mehso-so

A 19th century Buffy story? Yes please, sounds right up my alley!

The idea is fantastic, the execution so-so for me. Gleason uses some tropes that are normally a complete turn-off (like love triangles), and some of the characters felt rather underdeveloped, but I am assured by reputable sources 😜 that the series improves as it goes along. So I'll probably read the next one.

robinb Hehehe! I‘ve read 4 of these so far, and I do think it gets better and better. At least it did for me...I hope it does for you. 😊 7y
ScientistSam @robinb 😜 I'm pretty sure it will - we have fairly similar tastes! 7y
robinb @ScientistSam yes, I think we do! Please keep me updated on what you think! 👍😊 7y

It‘s not often I‘m left wondering how I felt about a book when I‘m done. I give this one a pass when it‘s more like between “pick” and “so-so”. I didn‘t pick it to read (book club). It‘s a “Buffy” style vampire-killer series (there are 5) with Victoria as the young Regency-age heroine. There are no less than 3 (non-vampires) in love with her. 🙄 I‘ve seen this trope done better, but I plan to give the next one a chance as it‘s rated higher. 3/5⭐️
