Queen B’s Decree: I freely admit…I #dnf this; I didn’t finish and gave up around the 30% mark. I love a good murder mystery and with some romance thrown in? I’m all over it. But I couldn’t get passed Dana. I couldn’t connect with her. She felt immature and annoying. Case in point: she got […]
Queen B’s Decree: I have made a promise to myself over the last year that I won’t force myself to continue reading a book I’m not enjoying. After a certain page or percentage, if I feel I’ve given it a fair chance and I’m still not enthralled, I’m going to move on and let it […]
Queen B’s Decree: I thought I would love I Believe in a Thing Called Love. Our Heroine Desi decides to learn about love and dating from K-dramas and makes a list of how to catch a guy. What’s not to like? Desi. Desi is what’s not to like. She turns this list into…a job? Work? […]
Queen B’s Decree: I hate to give up on a hero who wants to be a Broadway star (insert jazz hands). But I’m just so bored. And I had a hard time even liking both Jill and Mike. And thus… DNF @ 55%. Book: Standing Up by Kate Forest Series: standalone Genre: College Hotness: medium salsa […]
Queen B’s Decree: I’m gonna be the dissenting opinion here. I know this is a universally enjoyed book. Emma Chase wowed me with her Royally Series. But Drew. He was one of the biggest assholes I’ve read about in recent memory. I couldn’t finish. I hated him. Dear Drew, You were a prick and ruined […]
Queen B’s Decree: Our Heroine is a middle-aged mom and her Hero is her college-aged son’s friend. I have no problem with massive age gaps (looking at you Diana Palmer!) so this didn’t bother me. What bothered me was how boring it was. Plus Heroine’s best friend was over the top. I just couldn’t imagine anyone […]
Queen B’s Decree: So. You’d think I’d love this one. Prisoner of war? Angst? Childhood sweethearts? No. It was too cliched. I just couldn’t finish. Of course she marries some other childhood friend. And of course he’s abusive. Oh surprise! He’s a cop! :/ Book: Tortured by Nicole Williams Series: standalone Genre: Contemporary Hotness: mild salsa? […]
Queen B’s Decree: Inspired by Pride and Prejudice? That’s kinda my bread and butter. You really don’t want to know how many “sequels” or “modern day adaptations” I’ve read. Imagine my face when I opened the book to find this: Matthew McFadden says that. Acting as Mr. Darcy. So the screenwriter wrote that. Jane Austen […]
