Raven's Prey (Original) | Jayne Ann Krentz

bailed

Oomph. I usually really like Krentz‘s stories - a good mix of suspense and romance with sometimes a dash of magical realism - but this one, nope. Originally published in #1983 , let‘s just say that it would not be published now (thoughts in the comments - it‘s a massive TW):

I tried to listen to the whole story, but I just could not. Take my advice - don‘t bother with this one.

Librarybelle Within the first hour of listening, the lead MC claimed the female MC repeatedly begged him to rape her. Yes, he literally says he asked her to rape him. Yet, somehow, she decides a few days later to sleep with him. I don‘t get it. Even more, the next morning, he claims she is his now, he owns her. That was the last straw. Sorry JAK…this is my least favorite of yours. 5mo

Susanita Ugh. Sounds like you made the right choice. 5mo

Librarybelle Thanks, @Susanita ! 5mo

Mollyanna Oh my. That‘s cringeworthy. Hopefully your next is better. 5mo

Librarybelle Thanks, @Mollyanna ! 5mo

CaramelLunacy Oof, I would have noped right out of that too! 5mo

Librarybelle @CaramelLunacy I kept hoping it would get better, or at least I had misheard. Nope! 5mo

Stormy Challenge | Jayne Ann Krentz

bailed

Recently bailed on these two books. They were not giving me what I was expecting. I didn‘t want to force myself to read books I‘m not enjoying.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!) Feel free to join in!

Song of the West | Nora Roberts

May 15 #MayMontage Authors' second book. It took me a while to figur out this one as Nora Roberts has written over 200 books. @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

#WeeklyForecast - one week until October's books get added and look - there is actually a TINY BIT OF SPARE SPACE on the Windowsill of Optimism!!! This past week has been absolute madness and this week shows no real signs of that letting up, so I am wedging in reading wherever I can, but there has definitely been a big drop-off on my social media/book review action! Only so much bandwidth in my brain 😂

@Cinfhen

janeycanuck I really love the nickname Windowsill of Optimism. I may have to “leverage“ it for myself. 2y

TheAromaofBooks @janeycanuck - Thank you!! It's REALLY helped me this year to have my immediate TBR/challenge books all in one place, very visible. Of course I'm always hopelessly behind, which is where the optimism part comes in 😂 2y

julieclair I really need to set up my own equivalent of your Window of Optimism. Right now, I have little stacks of the current month‘s books all over the house, which leaves me feeling kind of scatterbrained. 🤪 2y

TheAromaofBooks @julieclair - This year I have put them all in one place, and then I also have each of these books in my jar and draw from it at random to see which of these comes next. So it's a mix of “assignments“ and randomness, with a splash of mood reading if I feel like it since I seem to always have several genres going on here at once 😂 I'm reading from this for October, then clearing the decks - November is going to be focused on completing series ⬇ 2y

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) since I seem to be embroiled in WAY TOO MANY and then December will be fluffy Christmas/holiday romances for #WinterGames - I'll never actually finish my TBR, but it has been fun to feel like I'm making some progress on it!! 2y

julieclair I‘ll never actually finish my TBR either…. and I think I actually like it that way. I like the idea of a random draw for the books without fixed “read by” dates, such as my IRL book clubs. Thanks for the inspiration! 😀 2y
