It's wrap-up time. :-) These are the books I read in March, 2017.
- Learning to Counsel- Jan Sutton & William Stewart ★
- Basic Counselling Skills- Richard Nelson-Jones ★
- Onyx- Jennifer L Armentrout ★
- She Ain't Mine- Rachel Kiss ★
- Keeping Her Secret- Sarah Nicolas ★★
- Tiger Lily- Jodi Lynn Anderson ★★★★
I didn't read very many books in full this month. I'm back at uni and I've been reading bits and pieces of lots of books from the library; and the eBooks I've been reading have been just, well... Not that great.
I am actually still reading Tiger Lily and I have started Keeping Her Secret, but I wanted to put Tiger Lily on this list because I just couldn't bring myself to post an entire wrap-up of only one star books. I just couldn't do it.
So, let's talk about the books that I read in full.
The two counselling books are probably not very exciting to anyone else, so I won't talk about them. Let's get stuck into Onyx, the second book in the Lux series by Jennifer L Armentrout.
... Here we go.
Hmm. The Lux series... Well, I posted a whole rant about why I hate this series and I won't be continuing to read it. If you're interested in reading my very passionate rant on that subject, it will be the most recent post before this one. I thought I would like these books. I bought the first book and read it in probably a day and a half. It was super problematic for me, but I gave it a chance. I actually think I gave it a good review, despite its shortcomings. But when I bought Onyx as an eBook... Forget about it. I wish I could return it and get my money back. Why? Because it was awful. I am so mad at myself for spending money on this stupid eBook. I forced myself to read it in full, but it was a struggle. No more. I tried, I really did. But I can't bring myself to read the rest of this series. Nope.
Moving on.
I downloaded the eBook She Ain't Mine from Amazon for a dollar. I figured, a book for a dollar? Why not. It was cute at first, but it was SO repetitive. I struggled through it, because the same sentences were repeated over and over and over. And over. And over again. Sometimes up to three or four times on the same page. It was a short, girl/girl romance story, full of teenage angst and slightly cliched, but I read it in an hour and a half and at the end of the day, it was only a dollar. Not the worst mistake I've ever made.
Let's talk about the one book I do like from this month. Tiger Lily is my favourite character in the Disney version of Peter Pan; and I've had this book on my shelf for ages but only just picked it up this month. I'm only 62 pages in so far but I really like it. I am all about the tough, wild little oddball that is the chief's adopted daughter and I love her already. And Tinkerbell! Oh, Tink. I love them both. I'm really looking forward to getting stuck into this book after I get some more uni assignments out of the way.

As I mentioned, I also started an eBook called Keeping Her Secret. I'm about twenty per cent of the way through and I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. I'm on a big lesbian YA reading kick at the moment and while I actually don't remember downloading this book, I'm thinking maybe it was on Amazon for cheap or possibly even for free. So if this type of book is your thing, you might like to look it up as a Kindle book on Amazon. I'm reserving judgement on this book until the story gets into full swing, so stay tuned for my thoughts about that later on.
So, that's what I've been reading in March. Let me know in the comments what you're reading at the moment, or if you've read any of the books I talked about in this post.
Happy reading!
