jmc_bksI've been stuck at home all weekend, between the snow (I'm a snow-driving-coward) and the drywall guy. So while watching the Coupling marathon on BBC America, I also read a bunch. Here's the summary:
Sex, Lies and Online Dating. Meh. Not great, not awful. Better than the last couple of Gibson books, but average enough that she's coming off of my "to buy" list and moving to the "wait for at the library" list.
Unleash the Night. Hot. Liked the relationship between Wren and Maggie, but it was too bound up in Dark-Hunter mythology and backstory. Not sorry that I read it, but not going to go out and look for another Kenyon book.
Conversations with the Fat Girl. Very good chick lit, in the best sense. I'll probably do a review of this at some point. [But since I still haven't posted my reviews of The Givenchy Code and The Manolo Matrix, don't expect it immediately.] This wasn't a romance novel in almost any sense. Maggie has a love interest, but he is only a tiny, tiny, miniscule part of the story, which is really about Maggie growing up and into herself.
Sex, Lies and Online Dating. Meh. Not great, not awful. Better than the last couple of Gibson books, but average enough that she's coming off of my "to buy" list and moving to the "wait for at the library" list.
