.......................................
A Fool Again is the story of Genevieve, who once made a dash to Gretna Greene to marry, but was caught by her father. Now, a few years later, she attends the funeral of her elderly husband (not the man she ran away to marry) and who does she see but The One Who Got Away! Can they make their love work this time around or will Genevieve be A Fool Again?
My thoughts:
This one was kind of boring. I thought about giving up, but eh, it was under 80 pages.
Genevieve ran away, was found and was forced to marry an old guy. Then he dies and she meets that old flame again.
Yawn. She was kind of annoying in a way, yeah did not really like her. Her old flame was better. He wanted her, he gets her. The end.
Meh.

Yawn. So very boring about a pixie, fairy whatever doing stuff. DNF

This one I actually read, and kind of liked it.

Where are Luci's pictures?... And about the books... mmm boring.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend.
Sorry, no Luci pics :/
DeleteCome on, your week wasn't THAT horrible. You can walk, you can ride a bike, you can stroke Luci...yeah, I am pathetic when it comes to cheering up.
ReplyDeleteLol ;)
DeleteSometimes I will only read one story in a novella, and just because it's a series I enjoy. That's okay, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat can we do to help motivate you some?
It was so not the right fit for me.
DeleteDunno really, I just feel meh. It did not helped it rained all week. And I guess I miss my workout classes :/
One day I'll have to try a book by James I heard great things about her ut maybe not this one
ReplyDeleteYeah not this one, though I have liked others by her
DeleteI keep saying I need to try one of EJ's books but still haven't. Someday.
ReplyDeleteIt has rained all day here and is cold. I'm not motivated at all...
Rain sucks :/ Sigh
DeleteOh no! I've had two bad weeks too...mine is mostly due to work being stressful and a pain in the neck
ReplyDeleteMine is cos of rain and just..meh
DeleteI acutally started that anthology twice, I did read the first two, as I have read those series. But I get stuck in the next ones.
ReplyDeleteThat does not sound good
DeleteI'm sorry to hear that your week was horrible. :(
ReplyDeleteI read 'A Fool Again' - it was meh to me too.
I didn't read Unbound anthology, but I did read just Reckoning novella and it was meh too. I thought I was going to miss some important part of the story but those novellas are just money drain...
:/
DeleteTotally! I am not a big novella fan, sometimes they do work. But those that work are those that have nothing to do with a series
I have to thank you for your weekly check ins! Seeing your logs have motivated me to work out more often and work out hard! I'm not losing weight but at least I'm doing something to be healthier. Even just a tiny bit.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to hear that! :D Now I feel better again
DeleteDon't be too hard on yourself, you've been doing so good.
ReplyDeleteAnd ugh, the old being forced to marry an old guy storyline can get boring.
Thank you :)
DeleteWell, it is a historical fact for her so *shrug*
I think I have the Eloisa James book on my Kindle. Sometimes novellas can be surprisingly good and sometimes not.
ReplyDeleteExactly
DeleteC'mon, Linda, it wasn't a bad week! Look at how much exercise you did - GO, you!! So you DNFed a couple of books... Good thing that there are millions others just waiting for you to try them :))) I'm feeling very optimistic today (in case you couldn't tell :) Sun's shining, flowers are in bloom and I baked a pie with cherries from a tree I planted myself! :D Happy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteAww thank you :) Yes at least I did something.
DeleteHaha, yes you are very optimistic and that is good! I do so not care about dnfs anymore. Everyone is all I am sorry, but I am all eh, who cares! I wont read boring books.
That's why I avoid anthology collections like this. Never know you'll get, and sometimes they're just too few good stories to make the entire book worth reading.
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
Luckily I won it ages ago so it did not make me feel bad ;)
DeleteAw ducks!
ReplyDeleteBoo on not liking the Bones one. I read that and liked it well enough. Didn't bother with the rest of the antho though.
Maybe it was cos I have not read the books...cos I gave up
DeleteYou kept moving though so that's good. I think I walked approximately 1000 miles in NYC during BEA lol
ReplyDeleteBEA would be some crazy walking for sure
DeleteHey, you are getting some time in. I've been terrible about exercising. With this sinus infection I've done nothing as it's hard to breath. But I have to get moving again. Maybe next week......
ReplyDeleteYOu can do it!
DeleteIf that is a horrible workout week, I am absolutely abysmal. :) Sorry your reads weren't more impressive, but your pics are lovely!
ReplyDeleteAwww thank u!
