These ones were disappointing:
so many of my friends liked it and I expected much more from the book
just one of the worst HR books I've ever read

Thank you all for starting the thread. I haven't finished anything this month. However, I see a few new adds!!

This thread is terrible for me as well. Just when I thought I had my tbr under control...and then I see all this new shiny ones to distract me xD

Gea, I felt the same way! Odd woman out. I thought he was a conceited, immature, egotistical jerk. I did like the heroine a bit, if I remember, but then she stooped to his level of "game playing."

LOL!

Hey! You just gave me a thought... we should have a challenge for the person who can add the most books to their TBR pile. LOL! I'd have a chance of winning that one. ☺

LoL..you ladies are funny :D

I read a lot of great book in Feb, hopefully I'll continue the trend for this month as well.

However one that stand out the most would be

I love that book, its cheesy but really charming and delighful, it become my favorite book.

Other that also worth mentioning are

I love Pippa/Cross. Pippa is adorably odd while Cross, well lets say I have fondness for brooding lonewolf kind of hero, Oh and their love scene is hot!!!


This book is beautifully written. I need to check more Laura Lee Guhrkee's earlier work.


I had high expectation for this book and I'm not dissapoint. Its amazing!!


I love Anne Gracie's The Rake but I haven't read other book from her because I keep comparing it with The Rake, until The Autumn Bride. Its lovely story.

Oh, I'm so glad you loved that one, June. It was fun. Not everyone liked that there were three heroines in it, but I did! LOL!

I have the Kindle version of lined up for my green book. Just love Laura Lee Guhrke's book. I hope I don't shuffle it around yet again!

GTK about - just started it today.

And I have lined up on audio.

Hey...are you stalking me? Or do you just have the same great taste? LOL!

I have and five minutes ago was banging my head in frustration looking for a HH book for the double decker challenge. Found it! Thanks ShoSho!

You're not alone anymore :) I agree with you about the hero, he destroyed the book for me, and the heroine couldn't make it much better than 3 stars read

Good you are with me, Gea. We can stand together and defend our minority corner. LOL!

LOL! I don't know with over 1100 books and counting, on my TBR that definitely won't be a hard challenge for me! LOL

Well, I have them divided into three groups:


to-read ‎(870)
to-ponder ‎(233)
to-read-series ‎(612)

Total: 1,715

Nevertheless, Gigi, I meant how new books you could add in a month. LOL!

Whooaaaa!!! LOL

I'm so relieved to see that I'm not alone in the over 1100 TBR category.

Me too! I just enjoy Julie James's A Lot Like Love. But then, it not rock my world (haha :p). Sometimes I don't know why my friends crazed about her books.

Last month is pretty average to me. No 5 stars book,but lot of 4 stars and 2 stars books.

My favorite

, loooove Kate! :D

, not funny like the first. Hero is sexist pig, but he has me when he brought the heroine an e-reader!! (now, where I can find man like that? BF will not likely do it)

, hero is tattoo artist also sarcasm is his middle name. I like it!

And least favorite ...

, heroine is whiny and also weak

, beware of teen angst and drama!

, I hate the insta-thing in this novella. PNR doesn't mean all thing from love to mate to wed must be fast.

I have another 4.5 star to add, I was still reading it when I made the list. :)

I'll add two, also:


, by Meryl Sawyer ★★★★½
, by Catherine Bybee ★★★★½

My only 5 star February read:




Only one in a month....that's pretty bad for me.

Honorable Mention:



January was a much better month for me, but I got behind and missed the list :(
