Yesterday I was traveling from Colorado back to Texas, so I missed the Alphabet Game. I'm here to catch up now :)

Today's pick is Cradle and All by James Patterson. This was my first JP read. My grandfather handed me a copy and suggested it to me. I've been a fan ever since 😊

Ummm.... this was very different from other James Patterson books. I didn‘t dislike it, but I didn‘t like it fully either. It wasn‘t the usual murder, detective, crime, etc. that I have come to expect in his books. I would recommend it if you want thriller/mystery without the blood and gore or if you are a fan of James Patterson and want something a bit different from him.

Just started Cradle and All. The tea advent calendar gave me a lovely citrus green tea today! It was light and had a nice citrus taste.

YAS! I love a good Catholic-based horror story. I'm not a huge fan of the way Patterson writes his female characters, but even so, I was very into this.

Another great pick from my #LMPBC group (and full of funny comments 😂) It's been fun, you guys!

One is carrying the child of god and the other one has the devil. But who is who? #screamathon

Every time I see that you‘ve written this I crack up 😂

Finished. REALLY didn't like this book.

⭐

Um... Really thought about bailing on this one. Not really liking it. I have 200 pages left though and nothing else to read for 2-3 hours. Guess I'll see how far I can get. 🙄

1. I have no idea. 😂 Probably Lion King
2. Fries.
3. I haven't listened to music in a long time but I grew up listening to country.
4. One of my current reads is tagged 😂
5. 👍

So I guess I've read this book before. I borrowed it from the OverDrive library and it had said I'd read it already. A few chapters in and I slightly remember stuff. Must have read it before I started my Goodreads account 😂

So I went from saying it was hard to write in my book to sketching a character in it. I guess im really getting inro marking it up LOL #LMPBC

Just finished the series that starts with Red Queen that I had from the library and all my blog tour books. Time to start on the MarkUp. Its so hard to write in my book though!!!!!!!! #LMPBC @blithebuoyant @j9brown @maximoffs

4⭐'s. This is like nothing else I've ever read by James Patterson. Two virgin girls pregnant, one with the spawn of Satan and one with the next Jesus. The Catholic Church has to figure out which is the bringer of all evil before it's too late. I very much enjoyed this book!

I felt like the whole time I was reading there was a giant question mark floating above my head. The chapter formatting and zig-zag development left me confused. AND YET somehow I couldn‘t put it down. I absolutely, without a doubt, HAD to know what happened. And boy was it a doozy! Plot twist upon plot twist upon plot twist. If you love surprise endings, this is for you. If you like long, detailed chapters and straightforwardness, it‘s not.

Cradle and All is a book about two virgins who find themselves pregnant in a seemingly near apocalyptic time. Although unexceptional it was still a rather enjoyable read. Unfortunately it ended with an irritating cliffhanger that seems to elude to a sequel but thus far shows no sign of doing so. I‘d give it 3 stars out of 5.

Here are my top ten reads for 2017 (not including any books I read in the next few days). I just finished "strange the dreamer" and will have a review up soon. I hope you all find some favorites within this photo. I know I enjoyed all of them!

I had not sampled any James Patterson before. It made a great change.

Did not enjoy this book like I was told I would. which is sad because I love Patterson.

Road trip listening. My husband always drives so he picks the books we listen to. I'm not a big fan of the whole Patterson genre, but the husband works hard to find a book we'll both enjoy. He did well with this one.

Reading this eerie little gem by one of my favorites! Anyone else read this yet?

This was a really fun read, basically taking elements of Rosemary's Baby and The Omen and throwing them in a thriller. The twist was a little bit of a cop-out but I enjoyed it.

My #fridayreads. (now available as a YA novel) It's basically Patterson's take on Rosemary's Baby. It's a blast. I totally get why people love his books so much, and I also get why people don't.

Book comes out in September (it's a YA). Wasn't my favorite but it kept me enthralled till the end.
