0 {C-} Hold Still - by Nina LaCour

Hold StillHold Still by Nina LaCour

I have many mixed feelings about this book. It was very sad and I took a few days to read/process it, however I didn't walk away at the end depressed. I do want to warn you. It deals with suicide and mental illness. There is some rotten language and a brief sexual encounter (I wished I'd read it with a black marker to edit my copy). All that said it was an emotional read that took me on a journey. I don't think I'll re-read it and I'm not sure I suggest you read it, but if you want to borrow, I've got a copy...maybe I will go back and edit it anyway.

0 {D} The Englisher (Annie's People, #2 of 3) - by Beverly Lewis

The Englisher (Annie's People, #2)The Englisher by Beverly Lewis


I did NOT like this book. Don't bother reading it; you'll be disappointed. The author set up lots of foreshadowing and dropped the ball completely. It left an empty taste in my mouth. In the end nothing happens to any of the charters. They all pretty much dismiss all their experiences. There is no resolution. AND all the romantic pairings split up. So pointless!


Oh wait!  I just noticed that this is book #2 of a trilogy... okay, it makes more sense reading the synopses of the other two books.  I bet I know exactly how book #3 goes.  I bet it has the ending book #2 is leading up to.  Hum, I'm still not sure I'd take the time to read either of the other two books.  Too many other good options out there.
