The Last Straw (Diary of a Wimpy Kid #3) by Jeff Kinney
Something different in the new year… Although technically it’s not new year anymore. I found this book at my parents’ place, among a pile of old books. This is one of my brother’s books, which I had never got around to reading. He does buy some interesting books!
The Perfect Murder by Ruskin Bond
Another one for new year. This time it is a short story collection, all somehow related to murder—committing, witnessing, or solving a murder. There are quite a few well-known names: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Ruskin Bond, and Edgar Allan Poe. I cannot figure out the cover though… The title story is by someone else, not Ruskin Bond.
The Viscount’s Wallflower Bride by Lauren Royal and Devon Royal
It has been a while…
I’m getting back to reading slowly. I did try a lot of other novels, but I seem to have lost patience for stories where the lead characters just jump each other without really having a conversation first. So here we are… a “SWEET & CLEAN” romance. I didn’t think of this phrase, the authors did.
Bridget Jones’s Diary (Bridget Jones #1) by Helen Fielding
Thank god for the simple joys of life…, e.g., libraries! 😀
Sometimes all you want to do is read a simple and funny story. And when there’s a library at work, you decide to go with something you wouldn’t necessarily buy otherwise. Such was Bridget Jones’s Diary for me.
Some Like It Perfect (A Temporary Engagement #3) by Megan Bryce
It’s been quite some time since I last read a romance. Mostly because I could not find anything I thought was interesting enough or different enough to spend some time on. But then I downloaded two free reads suggested by Bookbub. An Unexpected Date by Susan Hatler and this. And, luckily, while Susan Hatler’s story was a dud for me, Some Like It Perfect was quite enjoyable AND realistic!
Déjà Date (Better Date than Never #9) by Susan Hatler
Another novella in the Better Date than Never series by Susan Hatler, and another sweet read with no surprises.
Changing Lanes (The Lone Stars #3) by Katie Graykowski
An important tip to writers… Know when to stop! While the book starts off fine, and even has its moments in between, it seems to just drag on in the end!
Lady Fiasco (Regency Trilogy #1) by Kathleen Baldwin
This is the first one in the trilogy featuring Aunt Honore. I have already read and reviewed the other two – Mistaken Kiss and Cut from the Same Cloth. These two were really great in their funny moments and entertainment value. And so I found is the first one in the series.
The Canterville Ghost by Oscar Wilde
Sometimes you find a story to read… Sometime the story finds you 🙂
