Follow Friday #6


Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read.


Today’s question is: “What is the best book you’ve read in the last month? What is the worst book you’ve read in the last month?”

MY ANSWER:

Since I haven't read much in March yet, I'm taking my February reads into an account.

The best book I've read: Dark Desires After Dusk (Immortals After Dark #6) by Kresley Cole. I haven't posted my review yet. I couldn't put this one down - I read it in a day: it's funny, suspenseful, and steamy.


The worst book I've read: The Last Werewolf by Glen Duncan. I heard a lot of praise about this book, but the unrelenting nihilism and meaningless sex just didn't work for me. Maybe it's just me or it's because I'm a girl, since I know a lot of people like it. You can read my review HERE.


Thanks for stopping by! Feel free to look around my blog, and if you like what you see, don't hesitate to follow me via GFC or Twitter (@StrangeNewWords), or subscribe to my posts via RSS or email. And, please, let me know if you decide for any of the above options, so I can return the favour.

    One of my best reads this month was No rest for the Wicked. I love the IAD series and am slowly working my way through it.

    Here's my Follow Post. Stop by if you get a chance.

    The one on your worst list has a horrible cover, and I probably never would have picked it up, and now I really won't pick it up! :) Thanks for the follow!

    My sister read The Last Werewolf and hated it, so I'm definitely not picking that one up LOL

    Thanks for hopping by! I don't think I would like the Last Werewolf either. There really are some books that are disappointing. Have a great weekend!

    Hopping through. I've heard good things about Kresley Cole, although I often don't like the covers.

    I just recently put the Immortals After Dark series on my wishlist after reading such great reviews about the books. I'll definitely look out for your review of this one! I haven't heard of The Last Werewolf, but the cover made me laugh, which I'm assuming is not the effect it's supposed to have? lol.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog! I'm following you as well. =)

    I actually just stumbled upon The Last Werewolf today but wasn't completely sold despite the abundant reviews. Not sure if I'll give it a shot or not.

    Thanks for visiting! New follower. :)
