January Review

According to  the graph below.which I downloaded from here, I am behind on my reading. I have to be honest I did not try very hard this month so in February to get caught up i have to read 21 books.

I read 11 books for the month of January.

Jack with a Twist- An ARC book I am stuck on the review for this one. I liked it ok but it is the same as all other chick lit out there.

Perfect on Paper-this was also part of a blog stop tour

Winnie the Pooh on Problem Solving-This had been sitting in my MT TBR pile for a long time. review coming

Forever Lily

Book Thief

Hiss and tell

night light- a book on mediations no review

if your cat could talk- a intro book to cats that was somewhat boring no review

angel cat- review coming

politics in compassion- an arc book that was just ok review coming

In February I need to buckle down if I am going to meet my goal of 200 books.

Perfect on Paper

Perfect on Paper: The (Mis)adventures of Waverly Bryson ISBN: 098004250X ISBN-13: 9780980042504

I have to admit at first I had some trepidation about a self published book but the reviews started pouring in and I have to agree I really liked this book.

Waverly Bryson has just been dumped by her seemly perfect fiancé.She has a perfect career but one she really does not enjoy. Perfect on Paper is the story of her getting back in the dating game and finding her way in life.

As a hobby she starts “honey notes”. An example of a honey note:

Front: Can’t face the Dating scene after a bad break up?

Honey: Hit the bar and hit it hard. Beer goggles are the lonely girls cupid.

There are honey notes at the end of each chapter and in the book. I liked the idea of them being the head of each chapter. Waverly also hits it big with her Honey Notes when they get turned into greeting cards.

This is a light fun read. I read it in one sitting and enjoyed every minute of it. Waverly not only finds love again but also finds herself at the end of the book. The characters are enjoyable. The plot is predictable but the charters more than make up for that.

I want to thank Pump Up your Book Promotions for sending me a copy of this book to read!
