However, it's becoming more clear with every book I don't care for that I need to stop that! The new books are just so difficult to not pick up. I liked gods of Alabama the most out of the three I read.Thoughts of Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572910467988997432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31208059.post-83013869215290200222012-06-16T09:02:31.576-04:002012-06-16T09:02:31.576-04:00It's been five years (almost exactly!) since I...It's been five years (almost exactly!) since I read "gods in Alabama" and I gave it a similar rating as the one you gave "A Grown-Up Kind of Pretty." None of her other books sound familiar, so I don't think I've read any others. Her books don't call out to me, so once again, I think we're in agreement. :)Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31208059.post-14334993657393736442012-06-08T19:30:23.369-04:002012-06-08T19:30:23.369-04:00Stacybuckeye ~ This is just not my preferred genre...Stacybuckeye ~ This is just not my preferred genre.

I don't give up because I have truly enjoyed some, but they are few and far between. I try to just move on, but seeing so many ratings 3 and below is beginning to bother me - makes me feel like I'm wasting my time even contemplating reading certain books.Thoughts of Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572910467988997432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31208059.post-11084202647872424442012-06-06T20:34:06.557-04:002012-06-06T20:34:06.557-04:00Sorry this one was not a great read for you.

I prefer thrillers, so this genre needs to work really hard to impress me and not many have this year. It's been a bit of a struggle and disappointment, but my reading diet cannot just consist of thrillers. They begin to blur together after a while.Thoughts of Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572910467988997432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31208059.post-69562031808454125942012-06-04T20:45:30.751-04:002012-06-04T20:45:30.751-04:00Diane ~ Jackson narrates the audiobook herself, so...Diane ~ Jackson narrates the audiobook herself, so you may really enjoy that.
