I have been sick with the flu this last week so I don't feel like I have accomplished much but I did manage to get some reading in. Here are the books that I got through this week:
Heartless by Marissa Meyer has been on my too read list for a while. I must admit that I have never read Alice in Wonderland or any other books by Marissa Meyer. I really enjoyed her writing style but feel like I would have been more prepared for this book if I had a better understanding of Alice in Wonderland. This book is written as a prequel to Alice in Wonderland and gives a back story to some of the characters, mainly the queen of hearts. I should have known where the story was going as it was about the queen of hearts but I really held out hope for a happy ending. Do not expect one with this book. It was a good story but oh that ending really drove me a little crazy.
How to Tame a Beast in Seven Days by Kerrelyn Sparks was an advanced copy that I received from St. Martin's Press. This book comes out in March and is a paranormal romance. This was the first book that I have read that has been billed as paranormal romance and the title and the half naked guy on the cover almost stopped me from reading it. With that said, I am glad that I did read this book. I really loved the story and all of the magic that it contains. There is a woman that can talk to the dead and a guy that can shape shift into a dog. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the books in this series!
It Had To Be You by Susan Elizabeth Phillips is one of my go to books. This is the first book in her Chicago Stars series and probably my favorite although they are all great. I can really relate to the back story of the main character Phoebe. The first time I read this book it helped me to escape depression and that is pretty powerful. I reread this at least once a year and love it every time. And every time that I reread it, I get an urge to read the rest of the series. They are so good!
