2006: #22 – A Long Way Down (Nick Hornby)

March 1, 2006January 15, 2021

Book #22 was A Long Way Down, by Nick Hornby. Not a bad book, I guess I enjoyed it. This is one of those books I put on my list because it got a lot of buzz. It was a little depressing, and there wasn’t a whole lot of resolution. And only one (maybe 2) character(s) was especially likeable. Book count: 22 Pages in book:

2006: #21 – A Caress of Twilight (Laurell K. Hamilton)

February 27, 2006January 15, 2021

Book #21 was A Caress of Twilight, the 2nd book in Laurell Hamilton’s Meredith Gentry series. Just cleaning the rest of the Laurell K. Hamilton books out of my to-read list. This series is alright — I don’t like it as much as the Anita Blake series. This storyline in this book wrapped up a little too quickly for my tastes. Book count: 21 Pages

2006: #20 – Kill the Messenger (Tami Hoag)

February 27, 2006January 15, 2021

Book #20 was Kill the Messenger, by Tami Hoag. I’ve been a fan of Tami Hoag for a while, but this book was pretty……. eh. I just didn’t connect with any of the characters. Maybe it’s because this book was written from the point of view of the male characters. Anyway, I was disappointed. Book count: 20 Pages in book: 432 Page count: 8,622 Words

I really liked the heart of this book. I loved April and her unapologetic geekiness, and I liked what Dade has to say about body positivity, and that she wrote a male protagonist that walks the talk. What I wasn’t expecting was just how detailed into the fanfiction subculture this was going to go. It’s one of the few times I’ve started a book and
