Zuky the BookBum (15 KP) rated Pretty Girls: A Novel in Books
Mar 15, 2018
DNF at 64% (16/05/2016)
I had this on audiobook and I just couldn't get into it. The narrators voices were putting me off throughout and I found myself glazing over the story and thinking of other things while listening to it, meaning I missed half the story really.
I really enjoyed the first 50% but after that I just couldn't get into it. I will buy it in paperback form in the future in order to finish it, but I cannot listen to it anymore.

I am so happy that I bought this paperback at Penned Con this year as I couldn't be more happier. The story line is beautifully written and the characters are extraordinary. I was swept away by both the young and now grown Baylin and Luana. As soon as I submit this review I will be buying the next book. Though all three books come in one I opted for this one as I love the cover. This was the first book I've read written by this author and I look forward to reading all of her other books.

Oh my god!! If you have not picked this up and you like fantasy novels, do it right now. Stop what you are doing and read this book!!! It is full of badassery, not too much romantic stuff, and magic. In the battle to find out which person will be crowned the King's Champion, lots of mystery and intrigue happens to our main heroine, Celaena Sandorthien. What is even cooler about this, there are pronunciation guides in the back of the book (at least in the paperback edition). I can't wait to start on the next one!!

It's taken me 12 days to read this because it was taking so long for something to happen. In the end I just decided to go for it and it still didn't work for me. I felt nothing for the characters or their situation. I don't think I'll be continuing the series.

Magical read
I read this book a while ago and it popped up here. I remember loving the book so much that afer I borrowed it to read from my sister who recommended it, I ran out and bought it in paperback and an electronic copy for my Nook. The has a fast paced plot and storyline that never looses momentum. The story keeps you on your toes as well. It is incredibly well written, creating a picture in your mind of the scenery, charachters and more.
Overview- set in the past, 2 youths are trained to be competing magians in a circus but fall in love.

Mills & Boon meets fantasy and VAMPIRES!
As a fan of reading the short Mills & Boon books as a divider between larger more intense novels, I was pleasantly surprised with this one. This was Mills and Boon meets fantasy and vampires, a brilliant page turner, demolished in just over an hour.
Not reading the previous stories in the Valorian Chronicles, I was not familiar with the characters but this did not effect the enjoyment of book.
If you like fantasy and mass market paperback romance, you will certainly enjoy this. Be aware that the adult scenes are not your standard "cute" romance.

All right. I've had enough. I'm DNF'ing this book. It's been 14 days and I'm just over half way through,which is ridiculous for me, paperback or e-book. If I'm into a book I get them done within a week. If not, it drags, like this one.
When I got this off Amazon, the description sounded like something right up my street, and it was for about the first 100 pages or so...but now it's gone on a wild tangent and I've just lost interest. It's no longer grabbing me and I'm fed up of trying. Hence my DNF.
Not for me.

If you’re a nerd, this is for you! Kindred Spirits is a story about Star Wars fans, and even though Star Wars isn’t my thing, I found the story really cute and I was pulled in right from the start.
This book is worth getting just for the cover! It’s all glittery and gorgeous and you really have to see it in real life to really be able to appreciate it! Mine’s the hardback though – I’m not too sure on whether the paperback is actually glittery.
It is only a tiny book though – I did expect something a bit bigger for the price of it, but I suppose that it does only have two short stories in it.
