I started this book on Saturday, only briefly remembered its existence on Sunday and today I just said fuck it. I refuse to have another book lounging on my currently reading list, guilting me with its beady little eyes. I can talk to my mother about why we're not BFFs 5-EVAH like her friends and their daughters if I really want to feel guilty, book!

Anyway, I don't know why I couldn't connect with Cronin's Key. It had many elements I enjoy in a novel: paranormal stuff, soulmate stuff, a cop MC, a ginger MC, a vampire MC, a Scottish MC (three of those are the same person, btw). Also, a vampire history lesson. Which, again, I generally enjoy.
But all I got from it was a big ol'

But I'm still counting it as read. CUZ I DO WHAT I WANT SO FUCK YOU.
I don't know who I'm yelling at. Probably the voice in my head that likes to make up rules like "you can't mark a book as read unless you read at least half of it." What an asshole.

Heh. Also, a ginger vampire?

"Woke up this morning and immediately started thinking about which book to read. (Priorities, man.) Totally forgot I was reading this one.

Doesn't seem to bode too well for this book. Um...sorry?"

I'm sorry too, buddy! I really wanted to like it. :/ Whaddya gonna do, huh?
...counting it as read. Making her own rules. I'm shocked! LoL!! (view spoiler) ["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>

I'm a rebel, baby! Ha!
Yeah, this is also why I haven't read Red Dirt Heart yet. I've like some of Walker's stuff, but for the most part she's just not my author. I dunno why.
Ha! That's funny. :) Glad I'm not the only forgetful one with rule-loving voices in her head.
Lol. Thanks, Dani. :)
Exactly my thought, Karen. ;)
Actually cackled aloud. Thanks. I needed that.
