Don’t Judge A Girl By Her Cover

Book Rating

3.5 stars.

It's taken me about three week to read this, mainly because I was reading more exciting kindle books but when I lost interest in my current eBook I picked this back up and finished it within a day.

I do love our gang of girls and a certain boy, though he wasn't in it as much as i'd like. But this didn't grab me as much as the last one.

I'll get round to reading book 4 soon.

Love this series

I have grown to adore this series over the last four books. It has everything I love in it; paranormal creatures, a kick arse heroine, an attractive kick arse hero and a good romance. And thank God that they finally upped the ante and finally did something more than teasing, flirting and kissing! Because as much as I love them together, it was about time they REALLY got together.

Can't wait to read more of the series!

Alicia Keys recommended Purple Hibiscus: A Novel in Books (curated)

"I also read a book recently called Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. She's phenomenal, and she's written so many beautiful books. Purple Hibiscus was also quite moving, about a family - a daughter, and a brother, a mother and a father - and these deep, intricate details of their life and the complexities of it all. You find yourself falling in love with this family and really being taken on their journey, their heartbreak, and their secrets - it is a beautiful and amazing read."

The Jaws Log

Book Favorite

"This is, without a doubt, one of the greatest books about making movies. Gottlieb, who wrote the screenplay for Jaws, gives a day-to-day account of the process of making the film, from choosing the location to building the shark … or rather, sharks! You get to see the magic—and madness—of moviemaking, from the crazy shoot to the blockbuster hit. If you have ever had a fascination with how movies are made, why not learn it from the best?"

Erik Larson recommended Agent Running in the Field in Books (curated)

"’ve always been a big fan of le Carré’s books, ever since I read his 1968 novel, A Small Town in Germany, and I was quick to buy this, his latest. Anything I write here would constitute a spoiler, but suffice it to say it’s about spies, mid-life malaise, and a Europe on the verge of transformation. Let me just tease to the fact that there is an element of this book that readers disgusted with contemporary politics will find extremely satisfying."

I do enjoy my RVD books. I've read quite a few different series but something about Ian...And the whole Kindle in Motion thing my version of this had going on and I pretty much grinned my way through this book. He's a cocky little sh*t and the guy playing him in this book portrayed it well. It really added to my enjoyment and I've already bought book 2 for Lex's story and I can't wait to start it.
