Your post was super entertaining and brought up a lot of points I hadn't considered. Thanks for sharing! Now I have to check out your other reviews ^^lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16524291742541007382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119162506009432262.post-61782945801079112032011-07-27T17:50:36.364-07:002011-07-27T17:50:36.364-07:00Angela, Ali, C.K.

Bryant – I like to hear from people who like the books I don't! :) I appreciate a different perspective, especially since I feel like Nightshade just didn't work for me. My critical nature often gets in the way of books I could probably like or at least not rip to shreds, if only I could turn off my inner editor or just sit back and enjoy the ride without thinking. Nightshade bothered me a lot because I felt like there lot of potential for an interesting dark, edgy book—and it failed on every level to deliver that to me.<br /><br />Jolene, Merc, Connie, Emy, Lydia – Thanks! Books that I have issues with I usually have to do a review for as a form of catharsis and hey, since I read the freaking book, I might as well fling my two cents after it. And since Krispy acquires so many books, I tend to make off with them in the dark of the night to read them shamelessly before she does. I thought Nightshade would be less bizarrely unfollowable and fanficcy and more generic, honestly.<br /><br />Tere – Krispy read Blood & Chocolate but I confess I never got around to it. Nightshade's cover made me think it was some kind of Killer Barbie Horror Book except it was in the YA section.<br /><br />Spartezda – The original post that doodle was featured in was basically a bunch of doodles from books I was reading at the time, months ago, which says something about how long it took me to finish Nightshade…Alzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550309817891415328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119162506009432262.post-11429293538146656522011-07-27T16:33:30.645-07:002011-07-27T16:33:30.645-07:00I also liked the book.

I do agree there was a little too much LUST in it, a little goes a long way for me, but I liked the rest of the book.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05714394723532487643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119162506009432262.post-80347550257610646572011-07-27T16:25:41.385-07:002011-07-27T16:25:41.385-07:00I am in pain.
