2/10 down. I hated Eldest. It is very rare for me to say I hate a book, but this was my second attempt to read it and the only reason I got through it was that I told myself I could read whatever I wanted to next. This book had me contemplating suicide at some points. I will not read the next. My first one star review ever.1 word:

Ok, I made a change in my books that I'm listing as read. Mainly because I HAD to use Shot Through Velvet for this challenge, and I was worried about having too many non-pnr/uf books.
And the reason that I HAD to have this book in my count this month? Because it mentions the marina owned by my hubby's cousin. Ok, it sort of puts the marina in the wrong place, but still, she DID mention it. :o) The Lake Anna Marina is on the point, and not technically on Sturgeon Creek. There is another marina that IS on Sturgeon Creek (called, unimaginatively, Sturgeon Creek Marina.) While Sturgeon Creek runs next to the Lake Anna Marina, the marina isn't technically ON it. lol, ok, I admit, I LOVED finding someplace that I visit fairly regularily in a book, don't the rest of you love that too?
