Posted May 5, 2011 I am hereby dropping out of the 250 Book Challenge. Why? Because I'm so far behind in posting what I've read that it would be nearly impossible to catch up. I probably have already read that many, considering how many ebooks I've read plus the fact that I have moved to another state near a large city with a huge library only minutes away. I currently have over 20 books checked out right this minute! Anyway, please take my name off of the tally board. I will keep the link in my signature, though! Thanks for the good times! I'll try harder next year! Share this post Link to post

Posted May 6, 2011 (edited) Book Number: 137 Number Of Pages: 368 pgs [hardcover] Book Title: Tempestuous [e-book] Author: Leslie Livingston Rating: 3/5 Book Number: 138 Number Of Pages: 300 pgs [paperback] Book Title: Special Delivery [e-book] Author: Heidi Cullinan Rating: 4/5 Book Number: 139 Number Of Pages: 547 pgs Book Title: Love Slave for Two [e-book] For mature readers Author: Tymber Dalton Rating: 3/5 Review: My Goodreads review Book Number: 140 Number Of Pages: 372 pgs [paperback] Book Title: Family Matters [e-book] For mature readers Author: Tymber Dalton Rating: 2/5 Book Number: 141 Number Of Pages: 651 pgs Book Title: Special Forces: Soldiers [e-book] For mature readers Author: Aleksandr Voinov & Marquesate Rating: 5/5 Review: It blew me away. Proper review hopefully by the end of the month. For now: It needs an editor but the book is still readable. It's long but each scene between the two protagonists serve to deepen and develop their relationship. The characters are hardly flat and two dimensional; they change and grow - and the book is barely even halfway over. It's technically a m/m love story but it's violent and realistic. If it weren't for the love story line, it'd probably be one of those blood, battle and gore books that the big boys like to read (and that I prefer to avoid). I don't like too much realism in my escapism stories, but this works for me. And these authors are soo good at showing, not telling. The last time I was this impressed by how authors showed the characters falling in love instead of telling the readers was J.L. Merrow's novella, Pricks and Pragmatism. It is self-published, and available for free in PDF format from the author's website. Avoid if you dislike reading about: violence, rape, gay relationships, straying (uncommitted) partners Book Number: 142 Number Of Pages: 513 pgs Book Title: Special Forces: Mercenaries I [e-book] For mature readers Author: Aleksandr Voinov & Marquesate Rating: 4/5 Book Number: 143 Number Of Pages: 662 pgs Book Title: Special Forces: Mercenaries II[e-book] For mature readers Author: Aleksandr Voinov & Marquesate Rating: 3/5 Book Number: 141 Number Of Pages: 392 pgs Book Title: The Unsung Hero Author: Suzanne Brockmann Rating: 3/5 Review: My Goodreads review Book Number: 142 Number Of Pages: over 50k words [e-book] Book Title: Sweet Seduction Author: Tania Tirraoro Rating: 2/5 Review: My Goodreads review It was okay. It was light, sweet and readable. But it was also unoriginal, the characters were fairly flat, and the dialogue rather trite. There was a serious case of tell, not show, and a lot of introspection. Book Number: 143 Number Of Pages: 447 [paperback] Book Title: Special Forces: Veterans [e-book] Author: Aleksandr Voinov & Marquesate Rating: 3/5 Book Number: 144 Number Of Pages: 292 [paperback] Book Title: Dead Until Dark Author: Charlaine Harris Rating: 3/5 Review: My Goodreads review Book Number: 145 Number Of Pages: 162 [paperback] Book Title: Slave Jade [e-book] Author: Claire Thompson Rating: 2/5 Review: My Goodreads review For mature readers Book Number: 146 Number Of Pages: 242 Book Title: Scorpion [e-book] Author: Aleksandr Voinov Rating: 3.5/5 Review: Would have liked more attention to fantasy aspect than to relationship aspect, and the ending was not what I thought it should be. Nonetheless, looking forward to the sequel.

I wish it had gone at least 10 more pages at the end, tell us how the job worked out, how the building went and if him staying there with the dogs worked. They just planned it and then "the end".

Posted May 15, 2011 I didn't keep track of the books that I'd read in the past few weeks - had a seizure and well, I forgot that I was keeping track of what I was reading until now... sometimes my brain likes to embarrass me... gotta teach it some manners *nodnodnod* Anyway, I bow out of this challenge, but I will join the next book challenge. I bow out because I've read about 45 books since last posting of what I read. No way I can remember them all, unfortunately. Share this post Link to post
