Gosh, its been like forever since I've participated in a Meme , I used to do them all the time and then one week forgot to and then it kind of followed suit for yonks.
So What better time than now , when Im thinking about to start back up and write one.
Today's is 10 Books Out of My Comfort zone. As someone who reads alot , this is hard so Im going to change suit with 10 Reads that push Boundaries as well

  1. Accidents in Providence - Stacia Brown - Not normally one for Historical novels but this one I really enjoyed.
  2. Forbidden - Tabitha Suzman - I don't really like to read about Incest in a book but this one was really well written.
  3. The Alien Hunters Series by Gena Showalter - Aliens aren't really my thing but I tried her series as I've enjoyed other books by her and enjoyed it.
  4. I Kissed a Zombie and I Liked It - Adam Selzer - Not really a Zombie Girl but this was a good book.
  5. Generation Dead by Dan Waters - Another good Zombie Teen Series -oops mean Living Impaired.
  6. The Dresden Files - Jim Butcher - I tried reading them ages ago and just couldnt get into them as Wizards and Magic just doesn't do it for me , but now giving them a go , Im Loving it and up to Book #9
  7. Twisted by Laurie Halse Anderson - One of my all-time favourite ECF
  8. Naruto Comics Vol #1-Vol #3 - A guy I was dating and now one of my best mates is really into Naruto, so that we would have something to talk about I read the Graphic Novels.
  9. Cowboys Vs Aliens - Due to the film coming out , thought Id check out the Graphic Novel - I don't normally do Graphic Novels.
  10. The Help - Kathryn Stockett - Not normally my type of read but due to the film , thought I should read it - struggled through it but perserved. Loved the movie though.

    Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my list! Following back :)

    I have been going back and forth about reading The Help. I feel like I should...well, maybe one day I will finally get to it! I have also read Twisted- and it was a really good read, and out of my comfort zone as well.

    P.S. Really like the name of your blog.

    I had Forbidden also. Such a really sensitive and well-written take on a difficult subject

    I really liked the Help, but then literary fiction is pretty much in my comfort zone!

    I did not know that Cowboys vs. Aliens was a graphic novel. It sounds awesome.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program.

Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she
