Sometimes your reading takes a turn that surprises you in a good way. That’s exactly what has happened for me this month. I really liked two out of the three books I’m sharing today and NEITHER of those was originally on my radar for September.

It was fun looking at my Book Temptations Too Great to Resist. This week, the theme is reversed. It was actually easier for me to come up with what I don’t like in books than it was to pinpoint what I most like. Included in my list are some qualities you might expect, a couple that will be surprises, and at least one that is just plain weird! Of course, as with everything, there are exceptions.
