Last Woman Standing | Amy Gentry

so-so

3/5 - I finished this book today, but it took me forever to get into it. (Hence the picture from early December when I started reading it.) I loved Gentry‘s first book, but this one didn‘t work as well for me. Parts of it were suspenseful, but a lot of it was drawn out and the ending felt far-fetched. The social commentary in it is important, but for me that wasn‘t enough to make me love it. Ultimately it was just so-so. #jpbookreview #netgalley

Jess7 📚 2/52 | Thanks to the publisher and netgalley for allowing me to read an early electronic review copy of #LastWomanStanding by #AmyGentry in exchange for my honest review. This book published 1/15 and is available wherever books are sold. #thegreeneyedreader (edited) 6y

Jess7 Also — I think the reason I didn‘t love it was because I didn‘t have any feelings about the characters in this book. I didn‘t love, like, or hate any of them. I didn‘t think they were clever or interesting. For me whenever the plot is a bit slow, I really need the characters to evoke some type of emotion in me— be it hate or love, but frankly I just didn‘t care what happened to any of the people in this book. 6y

Megabooks Thanks for the honest, good review. I liked her first book, but I think I‘ll just wait on the library for this one. 6y

TorieStorieS I completely agree- it felt like two books forced together rather awkwardly... and I agree with your assessment of the characters and their likability!!! 6y

Good as Gone | Amy Gentry

✨I bought #goodasgone by #amygentry at a library book sale over a year ago. I still haven‘t read it. 😂 I‘m so terrible. I buy so many books and it takes me ages to get to them. I know I‘m not the only one with this issue. QOTD: About how many books do you own that you haven‘t read yet?✨

Kappadeemom Over 100 🙄 7y

jpmcwisemorgan Um I don‘t even know that I can count them because there are so many and it would take so long. 7y

thegirlwiththelibrarybag Well over 100 😂💜 7y

Pruzy I have the same problem...or skill...because I am getting great books for amazing prices! 7y

AngelErin @Kappadeemom @jpmcwisemorgan @thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Pruzy I have over 300 I‘m sure lol!! It would take ages for me to count also, but I would like to see just how many for sure one day. Haha I am always getting books for great prices too. My book collection is out of control! 😂😂😂 7y

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @AngelErin, I have heaps of unread ebooks, which I don‘t count 😂 🥂 here‘s to out of control book collections! 7y

AngelErin @thegirlwiththelibrarybag Lol! I don‘t count ebooks either. Oh my, then it would be worse. 😂 Yey! Out of control book collections! 🥂 ♥️ 7y

Reviewsbylola Great picture! I love Sinful Colors. And to answer your question—more than I‘m willing to count. 🤣🤣 7y

ErikasMindfulShelf My Goodreads account says 620 books I own but haven‘t read yet 🙈That‘s not counting ebooks. 7y

AngelErin @Reviewsbylola Thanks! Me too, they‘re so cheap. 🤪 Haha, I haven‘t had the courage to do an actual count myself. It would take ages to do that. But I kinda want to just to find out an actual number lol. 😂😂 (edited) 7y

AngelErin @irre I can‘t even add in ebooks on this one! It would be even more outrageous. 😆😆 7y

Jess7 I loved this book!!!!! I own about 400 ish kindle ebooks I haven‘t read yet. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 7y

AngelErin @Jess7 I can‘t wait to get to it!! That‘s a lot. 😊 I have NO IDEA how many ebooks I own. 7y

Jess7 Haha I only know bc i add them to a list on Goodreads when I buy them and Goodreads gives me a total 7y

Jess7 I loved it so much — I wish I had a copy of it so I could share it with others! 7y

AngelErin @Jess7 I use Libib to scan all the books I own. But I have never added in ebooks. (edited) 7y

jpmcwisemorgan I‘m going to go with at least 1000 because most of the physical books I own I haven‘t read, and that‘s two bookcases worth at least. And I own more than 1000 ebooks and I definitely haven‘t read all of them. That‘s why I‘m not gonna count them. 7y

Eggs Love the colors in your pic 7y

AngelErin @jpmcwisemorgan We should all just not count ebooks. 😂😂 7y

AngelErin @Eggs Thank you! 💗💛 7y

jpmcwisemorgan Excellent. I support this decision. 7y

AngelErin @jpmcwisemorgan 😀😀😀 7y

Alytrue Wow - so pretty! 8y

Jess7 Thank you @Alytrue 🎉I recycled my amateur #BulletJournal drawing of #TBR books for the Day 20 #Shelfie of the #ReadingWomenMonth challenge. Just ignore some of the books written by male authors that are drawn on the book case 😜 (edited) 8y

i.read.you.too Wow 8y

Wife So cool!🌹 8y

Jess7 @BethM thank you. I drew and colored it a few months ago when I got into the #BulletJournal craze. 😂 8y

PurpleyPumpkin That's an amazing shelf!😍 8y

Buddys_Momma Beautiful 💜💜 8y

Jess7 Thank you @i.read.you.too @Wife @PurpleyPumpkin and @Buddys_Momma 🎉 I'll take any excuse to share it again 😂😜. I do not claim to have any drawing talent, but I had fun making it. #bulletjournal You should try it - it was fun and very relaxing! 8y

christineandbooks So fun to look at! I keep thinking about trying one of these one day... Great job with it! 8y

Jess7 @christineandbooks you should. This bullet journal is the leuchturm 1917. I bought it from Amazon and I love it. I tried to use it as a planner too, but I've slacked on keeping up with that aspect of it. @britt_brooke has a #Bulletjournal for mainly books she reads every month. I think she does this sort of thing each month with the books she is currently reading. You should definitely try it! 8y

Simona 😍😍😍😍👏👏👏👏 8y

ferskner #goals 8y

goodbyefrancie This is amazing! I have a bullet journal and it's still blank because I'm intimidated. 8y

Jess7 Thanks @Simona @ferskner and @goodbyefrancie 🎉 don't be intimidated @goodbyefrancie - just start sketching something out in pencil or with an erasable pen like - I found some good erasable colorful pens at target that I like. Google things for inspiration and just start it. It's a lot of fun! 8y

LauraBrook @goodbyefrancie I do the same thing, all the time! 😳😂 8y

afilipabatista Wow 😳😳 amazing 😍 8y

minkyb A visual pleasure! 8y

britt_brooke @Jess7 @christineandbooks Yep, I use mine specifically for my month-end reading analysis. I meant to use it for more stuff but it's kind of time consuming. I use leuchturn as well. It's great! (edited) 8y

britt_brooke PS - This looks great @jess7 ! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 8y

Smangela Beautiful! 8y

Jess7 Thank you @filipabatista95 @minkyb @britt_brooke and @Smangela 8y

Chrissyreadit @Jess7 I was just admiring this!!! My bullet journal is rather bland. 8y

Jess7 @Chrissyreadit thank you - I hope you get inspired. I found journal prompts on Pinterest and if you search bullet journal bookcase you can find inspiration there! 8y

Jess7 @MinDea this is my bullet journal but I haven‘t messed with it much since this picture was taken. I need to get back into it. (edited) 7y

MinDea Wow...this is impressive! 7y
