So, I'm reading The Mayfair Moon by JA Redmerski, which eibbil_libbie graciously let me borrow and while I like it so far, I have one huge beef.

The first part of the book is set in Athens, GA, but the way this author describes the town, it sounds more like a place in south GA than Athens. And it bugs me. Not enough to make me quit reading, mind, but idk, could you have googled it?

The setting moved, now, and I'm starting to get into the book a little more so it was just a minor gripe.

I remember starting that book and giving up after a while. I don't remember why. XD

IDK, I have this issue with YA novels where I never actually like the hero/heroine pairing and only like the peripheral characters.

No man, I get that with a LOT of YA books I read, especially the paranormal romance ones that have the annoying instaluv, triangles, and whiny emo heroines. Not that I'm bitter or anything. >_>

I've gotten to the point and read enough YA now that I know exactly what I dislike and can give up on a book before 50 pages. Which happens a lot.

I'm still searching for a werewolf novel that doesn't make me want to claw my eyes out.

Sigh.

Yeah. I can't even really take vampires seriously anymore.

Have you tried Bitten by Kelley Armstrong? I found it really interesting and liked the werewolf aspect, though the whole story was a touch too boring for me. But looking back, I think I might appreciate it more now after so many awful YA books because it's all about character development.

Oooh, and Sharp Teeth! I really enjoyed that one and I think I might have it up at booking, too.

I have that book, I just haven't read it! And I will get Sharp Teeth.

Or you know I could finish my NaNo novel and whatnot.
