Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing

Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing - Judy Blume As a kid I always like Fudge and thought it was the funniest. Having re-read it now as an adult I find him extremely annoying, frustrating and "fake". I feel nothing but sympathy for Peter.

Jane Eyre (Penguin Classics)

Jane Eyre - Michael Mason, Charlotte Brontë i just can't finish it. i read it in high school and didn't like it and i still don't like it.

The Hangman's Daughter

The Hangman's Daughter - Oliver Pötzsch, Lee Chadeayne This book had weird time transitions and it felt slow.

Shadowfever (Fever Series #5)

Shadowfever - Karen Marie Moning I felt this needed a lot of editing and I was more happy to be finished with the book than with the actual ending.

Little Women (Signet Classics)

Little Women - Louisa May Alcott Could not and did not want to finish. So slow and boring.

Northlanders TP Vol 03 Blood In The Snow

Northlanders, Vol. 3: Blood in the Snow - Brian Wood, Dean Ormston, Vasilis Lolos, Danijel Žeželj, Davide Gianfelice The Viking Art of Single Combat was the best story thus far.

A Child's Christmas in Wales

A Child's Christmas in Wales - Dylan Thomas, Trina Schart Hyman Trina Schart Hyman's make this great book amazing,

All I Ever Wanted

All I Ever Wanted - Kristan Higgins Pretty funny with real characters

Wicked Appetite (Lizzy and Diesel Series #1)

Wicked Appetite - Janet  Evanovich Entertaining but a fluff read

Await Your Reply: A Novel

Await Your Reply - Dan Chaon Really thoughtful and interesting connections.

Before I Fall

Before I Fall - Lauren Oliver An interesting concept for a book. A Groundhog Day mashed with Mean Girls. Regardless the book deals with serious issues and has a good message. I really hated Sam at the being as a reader should and grow to understand her and like her as she grows to understand herself and her actions. I would have liked the friends to grow a little perspective in addition to Sam but realize that is impossible.

The Wedding of Antanasia Jessica Packwood and Lucius Valeriu Vladescu (Jessica, #1.5)

The Wedding of Antanasia Jessica Packwood and Lucius Valeriu Vladescu (Jessica, #1.5) - Beth Fantaskey I would have liked more of Lucius's point of view.

Jekel Loves Hyde

Jekel Loves Hyde - Beth Fantaskey not as strong as Jessica's Guide. It was an interesting concept but needed to be flushed out more and some of the dialog was awkward. Tristen seemed years more mature than Jill, especially in how he talked about his feelings and sexual attraction towards Jill.

Insatiable

Insatiable - Meg Cabot This took awhile to get exciting due to all the character narration switches but I really liked Meena and her choice at the end. It showed her strength and didn't play into the typical vampire romance as of late.

Maybe This Time

Maybe This Time - Jennifer Crusie felt a little meandering and not really up to her other books.

Cry Wolf (Alpha and Omega Series #1)

Cry Wolf - Patricia Briggs First in a series but one that is an off shoot of another so I didn't know why certain characters were in important. The action scenes were vague.
