Books Editor (673 KP) shared own list

Sep 28, 2017
Wanderlust is notoriously difficult to manage. Once you’ve tasted the adrenaline rush of travel, it can feel unbearable to sit at home, knowing that adventure is out there waiting to be had.

But if you can’t always get out and explore, then it’s best to let a book do it for you. The wanderlust-quenching adventures below aren’t the same titles you’ll find on run-of-the-mill lists of “beach reads.”

Superb Enticing
Jacqueline Carey gives us an exceptional series and is a gifted author . When one reads the Kushiels series the descriptive writing has you feeling like you are there with the characters. You see the green mountainsides and feel the dry desert heat. This is an enjoyable historical fiction book with a lot of sexuality: about a different culture. The series of books has depth and character development with a wonderful historical fiction background.

Reading this book took me back to high school and the day I walked into the locker room and saw one of my dearest friends undressed... the way she looked still haunts me but I'm thankful that her parents sent her away to an inpatient program.

This is one of those reads that opens your eyes to eating disorders and packs a powerful message into each and every single line. A must read.

Macey is a naive high schooler who wants to find a date to prom. She reads way to much and decides to use 10 steps from her favorite romance novels in order to get a boy for prom.

This is a short, sweet, and uniquely funny book. The premise is cute and while Macey is beyond naive towards the true love it is so short it doesn't matter.

Exactly what it says, nothing more nothing less. Wanting some spicy holiday theme spanking? This is the perfect collection for you. Expect steamy short reads that are perfect if you don’t have a lot of time. Even if you don’t like one story, move onto the next. There is a story for everyone (barring those who aren’t into this type of thing, in which case, why are you looking?)

A fictional biography of Mark and his relationship with Peter. Unfortunately, it reads more like a biography of Peter, and much of Mark's life is whitewashed. Furthermore, the characters going from modern English to New King James to quote scripture (much less how much scripture is quoted) makes this novel laughable.

(I received this book for free from the Goodreads First Reads program.)

This is an alright read. What I did was I kept it in the bathroom for everyone to read to bring about a little chuckle whilst reading this.

Some of the stories are laugh out loud funny whilst others are just kind of boring.

However, I would definitely recommend this book to at least keep in the bathroom for some light reading material =)

Descriptive Morsel
I've never read any of this author's work but after getting a glimpse into his deviant mind I will say that I will definitely be reading more of his wicked reads. This dark and twisted short story was over way too quickly as I found myself captivated by this descriptive morsel of a tale. Be prepared to experience what feels like a full-length book all packed into this short story.
