Wednesday Reads

Seems strange not writing and I’m not sure I’d have lasted this long if not for the Olympics. Still hooked. Can’t seem to turn off the TV. But when I’m not watching I’m reading and here’s what I read during the week:

Feb 16: “Worst Week Ever” by Liza O’Connor. This is the first book of the Long Road to Love series, a romantic comedy/farce. Blurb from Goodreads: What do you get when you put a hardworking, can-do middle-class young woman together with an egoistical, outrageous, billionaire boss, then throw in the worst week of disasters imaginable? Book 1 of the 3 book series A Long Road to Love, named Worst Week Ever. Trent Lancaster spends one month without his Executive Assistant (or as his driver refers to Carrie: 'Trent's brain, left hand, and right hand.'). He's had a miserable month without her at his side and to ensure it never happens again, he intends to marry this brilliant beauty. Only given all the times he's threatened to fire her, he's not sure she even likes him. However, the future of his company and his happiness depend upon him succeeding, so Trent begins a slow one week seduction, that happens to coincide with Carrie Hanson's Worst Week Ever when everything that can go wrong does so in hilarious form. (Hilarious to the reader, Carrie is not having much fun this week.) This book is whacky. And I mean that in a good way. Not sure Trent is worthy of Carrie’s love and devotion, but I do love the way his mind works (or doesn’t work, as the case may be). If you like crazy humor, you’ll like this book. And I’d read the next in the series, but that most likely won’t happen. I won this copy as a pdf (which did not exactly make for optimal--or fun--reading) and the series is only available for a Kindle. I own a Nook (and don’t go telling me I can read it on my computer--reading should be FUN). If the series ever shows up on B&N (or in print), I’ll certainly buy them. I gave this book 4 stars on Goodreads.

While I’m watching the Olympics, I started crocheting again. It had been so long, I forgot how much work it is (and how much my hand hurts), and I’m just making a book mark! I hope it turns out well. I’ll take some pictures when I’m finished.

So…have you ever read a pdf on an e-reader? What was that like for you?

Happy reading!
