April started off as a really good reading month, but ended up not being so great towards the end because that's when I went into a reading slump that I couldn't really get out of it. I spent this month trying to catch up to my Goodreads goal so I read a lot of shorter books. It would've worked out if I kept it up but unfortunately, life had other plans. But, reviews! Reviews Bossman by Vi Keeland I don't know what it was about this book that didn't do it for me. I really thought this was going to be another one of those steamy books I love, but for the most part, it was okay. I think the past vs. present story line wasn't something I really enjoyed. While I get that the author was trying to show the tragic past of the male protagonist, I felt like it was dragged on too long. It could've been told as a prologue and then I would've felt more attachment seeing his side of the story as well. I found this to be a little predictable and overall meh in the sex...
I LOVE Lois Duncan's Books. I have since I was in middle school!
My favorite book of her's:
Down a Dark Hall!
LOVE IT!
I did a search for all my posts mentioning Lois Duncan. You can see them HERE.
And more specifically HERE is my review of Down a Dark Hall.
So a few months ago I found out they had made a movie of this book. I was soooooooo excited. Yes, yes I know - they've changed it from the book, but I can handle that. I go into every movie from a book knowing it will be different. In my opinion, it looks like they did a good job though.
So this weekend I will be getting it from Amazon Prime and settling in to enjoy!
