W.I.R.W. #4

So, over the weekend, I read not one but two books!
I very much wanted to escape from reality.
When I wasn't painting my bathroom trying to get my house ready to sell, I was reading the books.
They were quick, easy reads that helped me get through the weekend.

The first one I read was UnEnchanted by Chanda Hahn.
  It was a freebie on Amazon, and I'm so glad it was.
The storyline has such promise, but the writing could use some improvement.
It's about a girl who finds out she is a descendant of the Grimm line.
Despite the teenybopperness {yes, I made that word up}, I enjoyed the book for what it was.
I also bought {with a gift card} the sequel - Fairest.
If you want a quick read, then I recommend picking this up!

After I finished reading the above book, I wanted something else to read.
I didn't have my gc with me so I wanted to find another free book.
What I found was a book by Paul Pilkington called The One You Love.
I'm not sure how I stumbled upon the book, but I am glad I did.
It was a great read that I didn't want to put down.
As you can tell by the cover, it is set in London.
It's a suspense book that left me trying to figure out whodunnit.
I pride myself on being fairly observant when I read books and watch TV/movies, so I had practically figured out who was behind it all about halfway through the book.
It was good, but unlike UnEnchanted, I have not bought the sequel.
I don't think you really need one, and I'm satisfied with the ending of this book.

Until next week...
tell me what you're reading!

  1. I'm reading Kite Runner for the fourth time!! And, since I hadn't read it in a while, I forgot how depressing it is! Still a favorite though! The One You Love sounds interesting!!

  2. I think UnEnchanted sounds like something I would really enjoy.
