What Are You Reading?

Finished reading Miss Benwick Reforms a Rogue by Maggie Fenton which was giving me strange feelings of deja vu. I have definitely read the book before although I cannot find it anywhere in my records. It is possible it got "lost" when I moved from Amazon US to Amazon AU. This was not something I would want to reread as it has a weak silly storyline, the characters fell in love too quickly especially considering heroine was disguised as a boy and her brothers support at the end was just unrealistic considering what had happened before she ran away. There were some laughs but overall not for me, 2.5/5.

Also binned an audiobook a SF, The Salvage Crew by Yudhanjaya Wijeratne. It was described as something that would appeal to lovers of Firefly, The Martian and We Are Bob. Sorry but no. It is narrated by Nathan Fillion who I loved from Firefly but he can not narrate, odd pauses and keeps whispering. Story started off well but then was heading quickly into a mishmash of confusing rubbish.

Sorry to hear that he didn't do a good job of narrating! I enjoyed him in Firefly and really liked him in Castle! Not to the point of the "LOVE" I felt/feel for Harrison Ford or Tom Selleck but certainly enjoy Nathan! Runs in my mind, one of Kristen Ashley's Rock Chicks loves him as well...Shoot, the sister that fell in love with the Italian bad guy who was working on going straight. She didn't tell him why she had to be home to watch Castle on Monday nights (that she luved Nathan Fillion); he wondered if it was because she realized how much she was like Stana Katic.

Enjoyed reading Until Harry Kindle Edition by L.A. Casey . It was a more angsty read than I normally enjoy, sad in places and some irrational behavior by the heroine at times. Its told in flashback so slowly get to understand why heroine behaved the way she did. A 4/5 read.

Also finished Maid for Advertising by Susie Tate , a very quick read and finished in half a day. While I enjoyed the book, had a few good laughs and liked the characters this was not up to the authors usual standards, it just felt too rushed. Does make me want to go back and reread the rest of her books as they were excellent. A 3/5 read.

I will be interested to know what you think of it. I borrowed it via KU.

kc I don't suppose you would say this is an Irish story, but I just finished The Moonlight School by Suzanne Woods Fisher, which is based on a true story set in Kentucky beginning in 1911.  The story tells of mountain people who are descendants of the Scots-Irish who settled in the hollows of Rowan County.  The people are poor and seem primitive to Lucy, our heroine.  Most adults are not able to read and are easily taken advantaged of because of that.  Lucy comes to see value in their traditions and finds her purpose in life.  I found it surprisingly emotional and touching.  There is some romance in the story, but the story is a lot more than that.   

I finished Callie Hutton's A Scandalous Portrait which I thought was a cute story and really enjoyed.  So now I'm reading Finding Lady Enderly by Joanna Davidson Politano -thanks for the info on this tealadytoo.  I'm also enjoying this one although it's so different and full of mysteries, I'm have no idea how it's going to turn out.   I'm trying not to skip to the end like I usually do.  It's tough.
