Chris is finished with Who Are You? (A Lake Superior Mystery #1)
I still reading, but I'm not liking some of the stereotyping that is going on. It really reads like a male author writing a female character.

I like the mystery part of this, but dang, the in between is so boring and repetitive.

I'm just not sure about this one. I read the first two a while ago and loved them. This one just wanders without a real purpose. It jumps to a new scene at times without even an extra space, just the next paragraph and I find myself going, wait, did I miss something? I almost put it down last night, but I want this to get better so have continued. We'll see.

It's such a roller coaster. I have to get past the badly written dialogue. I believe these women are supposed to be 30-ish, but they act much younger. It gets better and then worse. It feels like the author had three days to write it, because it feels rushed. I'm planning to keep reading, to see if future books get better. I won a copy of #5, so if it's not better by then, I won't read past that one.

Chris is 50% done with Cranberry Bluff
Why is the title Cranberry Bluff, but the town is Cranberry Cove and not once have I seen Bluff mentioned?

Almost halfway in and I'm wondering, do people like this really exist? And what's with the obsession with locking your phone?

The Night the Lights Went Out

Chris
Chris is starting Bad to the Bone (Barkery & Biscuits Mystery, #3)
I really wanted to finish this, but the more I read, the more annoying it got. My apologies to the author, but the main character is really annoying with how she's dated or flirted with every man she encounters, and her thought trains were just petty.

What is with the vernacular in this book. I have enjoyed all the previous books. The author seems to be trying to use different descriptions that she thinks are funny, but I'm only 40 pages in and it's just annoying.

Chris is on page 83 of 417 of Beach House for Rent (Beach House, #4)
I'm confused. The deck of Primrose Cottage faces ocean side, correct? How can the sit out there and watch the sunset. Annoying, but I'm liking the story.

Chris is on page 164 of 298 of To Catch a Treat (Barkery & Biscuits Mystery, #2)
While I like the premise of this series and I am enjoying the plots, there are parts that are really annoying. The author seems obsessed with how people look. I mean instead of describing someone's looks she does it in a judgemental way. Sbe also has her main character feeling like every single male in the story is attracted to her. Skippable parts.

Chris is reading Take Me with You
It took me forever to read, because I've taken up crocheting, but this is a really good book.

Chris is reading The Mistletoe Secret (Mistletoe #3)
I am a sucker for these books. So much so I started it when I went to bed and stayed up all night to finish it.

Chris
Chris is 59% done with I've Got You Under My Skin (Under Suspicion, #1)
What is the deal with this book? All she does is repeat what's already been said. I'm skipping over so much just to finish.

I probably shouldn't be reading this at work. Holding back tears in parts of the first story.
