I really wanted to like this book. The description made it sound like a battle of wits would occur, which I love due to the intellectual tension and often coded dialogue present in such stories. Alas, the first chapter was infuriating and the hero even more so, and I stopped reading a few pages into chapter two. I think DNF reviews are very illuminating as they can highlight what makes a reader stop, or keep … Continue reading To the Duke, With Love by Amelia Grey →

RECOMMENDED: Bossypants by Tina Fey is $2.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and is being price-matched, yay! I loved, loved, loved this book. More than I loved Yes, Please by Amy Poehler.

Big Girl Panties by Stephanie Evanovich is $1.99! Sarah haaaated this book. HATED IT. But I know there are people out there who loves things we hate or maybe just want to have a very full glass of wine and do a little hate reading on a weeknight. Here’s a little excerpt from Sarah’s review:
Every time I think about this book it makes me so angry. SO ANGRY. I hated the hero so much, I considered wearing my night guard while I wrote this so I wouldn’t get a headache from clenching my teeth so hard.
You know what? Screw it. It’s mouth guard time. This is a teeth-clenchingly bad hero, and I hated him with the burning fiery hatred of a thousand suns filled with hate and Fox News which are kind of the same thing. So, mouthguard in, it’s time to try to review this book without devolving into a twitchy mass of anger and outrage. It’s not even fun hate reading, this book. It’s rage reading. The more I read, the more I hated the hero with all the hate.
