Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Dancing in Circles (Circles Trilogy #1) in Books

Jan 12, 2021

So once again I was stuck for choice for what book to read next so I random number generated (RNG) it and got this, #22, which just shows you how old it is (2012).
I'm hoping my tastes haven't changed that much that I won't like it but we'll see what happens.

Okay, I'm going to DNF this at 35%. It wasn't that bad a story but as I mentioned in my status update, I can't help but picture Robert/Bob as some sort of Mexican thug/drug lord/drug runner with how he talks. I know he's from the wrong side of town but I'm sure they don't necessarily have to talk like he was doing. Then the fact he's in a gang...meh.

The main reason I'm not going to finish this is because I got a little bored. It was a bit too predictable. Bad boy, good girl. Meet, fall in love. Live happily ever after. Now if it had been the other way around; bad girl, good guy...then I might have stuck around for completion because I haven't read that situation often and I find it much more intriguing.

The characters were also a little strange in their actions. Stuff happened that a normal person would freak out about and instead our characters just sort of got on with life as if nothing had happened.

My taste in books has changed a fair bit in the three years since I downloaded this, when I downloaded almost everything that was free in the romance category.

I'm now going to go read something that I've paid for and actively sought out.

Not necessarily a bad book just not to my tastes.

A Classic Movie

This is one of my all time favourite films. I've probably watched this film 50+ times (not an exaggeration) and I would happily watch it today.

What I love about this films is not only has this got fantastic choreography and music, but a steamy love story too. I like how even though Patrick Swayze's character is a sexy cool bad boy, but there is also a sensitivity to him as well,

I also like that the main female character is pretty, but also has brains too.

I will never tire of this film and if you haven't watched this yet (where have you been?!), I'd definitely recommend it.

Book Rating

Great book and story. I love the characters and getting to know more about thier backgrounds. This book does reference the other five books in the universe, including some spoiliers, it gives enough to let you know you need read them, but you won't be lost if you haven't yet. If you have read them, you are in for a treat and like me probably will long for the next book. Told through multiple pov king of scars will take you on a journey, of loss,love responsibility, keeping a crumbling kingdom together as it comes apart at the seams,and hope through the darkest times. How bad can it get when you're a boy king fighting a deamon? plenty... It's Ravka

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Confessions of an Angry Girl (Confessions, #1) in Books

Jan 6, 2021

I got so into this book that if I'd started this a little sooner in the evening I could have finished this happily in one sitting. One things kept me from rating it higher; the fact that Jamie didn't appear in that much of the book, really, considering he's the love interest of Rose.

I wanted--<b>needed</b>--more Jamie and Rose!

I also felt for Rose a lot, she had a lot to deal with and she had a crappy best friend for most of the book. Add in an attraction to the bad boy with a girlfriend and you're in for turbulent times.

I most definitely need to read the second one but it isn't available on Scribd yet :(

I read over half of this book in one sitting i was that into it but then i had a long work day and didnt get a chance to read any yesterday but made up for it today by finishing it in yet another long sitting.

I loved Declan. He might have looked like a tattooed bad boy but he really wasnt. He was really sweet at times and i wanted to smack Elizabeth a few times for being so hurtful. But she got their in the end.

I also really grew to love Dax and I look forward to reading his story in [b:Filthy English|28800089|Filthy English (English, #2)|Ilsa Madden-Mills|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1465907759s/28800089.jpg|49011859]
