Next in the series. Hunny’s little brother shows up. This is from the show. I don’t remember why they have this competition thing. His brother is like mad at him for being so easy going and cake loving even though he’s the heir.
This had a good mix of stuff from the show and a few new stories. Slowly but surely I’ll make it through the series. There are only eighteen lol.

Book three. Rule three is no sex in the friend zone. Oh this is Jack’s story. His life changed when his newfound sister married his best friend and he had to fly solo more. He has a work best friend though that things heat up with. Also, we have to keep the series theme and have an accidental pregnancy.
Hmm I think I may need a break from this series. They are starting to get repetitive. I mean I liked the book but it did seem like the same as the first two. Surprisingly that hasn’t bothered me too much which is probably because they are so short so I can breeze through them in just a couple hours.

So it seems we are going through the guy code. Book one was don’t knock up your friend’s sister. This one is no sleeping with your stepsister. Our guy is rich and jaded that girls only want him for his money, so he treated Jade that way after their weekend together. Their parents apparently got married but they don’t appear to know that and it seems like their parents are dead. I’m a bit confused on that part. Now they are forced to be around each other.
So we are skipping their lusty weekend together and jumping right to you’re step siblings and she’s pregnant.
Lucas is kind of an asshole.
I’m confused what lesson did you just teach her by that little wham bam thank you ma’am of a fuck you just gave her on your lawyer’s desk.
Aww poor Jade. I feel so bad for her right now.
Hmm. I didn’t really care for Lucas. I’m not sure when exactly he grew as a person to come around and love her for her and stop being a horrible judgey human being. I do like these guys and how they get all crazy protective about their baby girls.

This was recommended in one of my Facebook groups. I got the whole series because there was a box set deal. This is book one. Our girl goes to find the family she didn’t know anything about. Gets nervous and has a one night stand who she runs from but he doesn’t want to let her go.
Aww yes a character that hates needles like I do. Good to know she can make it through a pregnancy. It means I’ll make it too.
Ok that was kinda sweet. It could have been expanded on a bit more. Like the month where he was looking for her. You could have gotten both of their perspectives. Her getting to know her family and him searching. I think it would have added a bit more to the part where he’s trying to woo her. Overall though it was a pretty good read.

Series: Ouran High School Host Club #6
Moving right along. We are in a new year at school and the club is back. Tamaki’s grandmother comes to visit. This is near the end of the show I think. Right she comes and wants him to quit the club and marry some girl of her choosing. I think that’s where the show left off.
Ok that first story wasn’t in the show. I didn’t know there was a football team at Ouran.
I’m kinda liking this competition for the use of the salon during the festival. It wasn’t in the show but they seem to be having fun with it.
Well that was exciting. Most of those stories weren’t in the show.

Series: Ouran High School Host Club #5
The description sounds different than the show. I don’t remember Haruhi’s grades dropping to where she could lose her scholarship.
That was a cute story that I don’t remember from the show.
The rest of this one was from the show. We had the one guys little sister and all that it was good I really do want to get past the show and find out what happens after.

We left of the last one with Haruhi’s dad coming home with Tamaki on top of her. This will go well. Especially if it follows the show like the others.
This one had the Alice in wonderland storyline. That one wasn’t quite like the show though. Then we also had Hunny getting the cavity and they ban sweets from the club. It was still good but I didn’t like the extra little story at the end.

Next in the series. Our girl was kidnapped by the creepy stalker dude in the last book and tortured. In this one she pulls away from her husbands. I’m sure they’ll find their way back to each other but it might be a slow road.
I’m confused. I thought we were going for the Buffy reference with the Drusilla nickname but then we went Dalmatians. That would be Cruella.
Hmm. I think I liked it. There were some parts when the editing got in the way of the story. I can’t remember if I got that as a freebie somewhere though so that might be it. It might not have been the final version. I did enjoy the story though. I wish we got to know her service dog a bit better though, she seemed cute but was only in the epilogue.

This is my Lenten discipline. Beth got me this book back in grad school and I haven’t read it yet. So here we go.
Ooh I liked that “the cult of personality” that really resonated with me.
Ok some of these introvert descriptions seem on the extreme side. I don’t think I’m that far introvert, but a lot of the descriptions I’m like yep that’s me.
That was interesting. I liked the idea that our technology driven world has led us to have shorter attention spans.
Father Rob was talking about lectio divina at the Lenten Friday dinner thing last week, sorry I thought that was sort of kismet that it then came up in my book.
That section was so true. I’ve attended a church like that. The pastor was extroverted and didn’t understand introverts so thought everyone needed to participate in things. He got me to join in so many groups and that was actually part of what pushed me away from that church.
I liked that section about leadership and the qualities of a leader. I agree that society has a very extroverted view of a good leader. Also, the reminder that God doesn’t always choose to bestow his gifts on the obvious person but likes to break the mold.
That was interesting but there were parts that felt like they were more for pastors than lay people like myself.

This is book two in a series I started a while ago. I had book three but it seems I need to read book two for book three to make sense. So here we go. Our guy is a Dom and he lost his girl but he’s determined to win her back. Let’s go.
Oh my poor dude. You stood her up three years ago she went out by herself, got wailed on and raped. She left you and everyone. Plus not only is she pissed at your poor relationship abilities but I’m sure on some subconscious level she blames you for her attack.
Well that was interesting. I did see it being the one guys’ dad after a while. I felt so bad for what she went through and was trying to get over it. I hope she’s able to help Savannah get through her ordeal. It was a good story though. I enjoyed it.
