March & April Books.

In March and April I took a break about half way through the third book in the Divergent series because I started to be unhappy with the path it was taking and instead started working on finishing the Karen Kingsbury series I started, hmm, two summers ago. Crazy to think I have been trucking along for that long. Now I can honestly say the end is near. One more to go.

Learning by Karen Kingsbury - As I might have mentioned before the Bailey Flanigan series has been far and away my favourite set of books thus far. It might be because it was a faze of life that I recently went though and kind of still am and therefore find it relatable or it might be because I am just a sucker for a great romance. And a great romance it was. This book is a little frustrating because 

Longing by Karen Kingsbury- This book was magical. I enjoyed watching the love grow and the grand (read: unrealistic) gestures that were taken. 

Loving by Karen Kingsbury - I read a few reviews on this book while I was putting in my most recently read books and currently reading into goodreads before I had actually started reading it. I therefore somewhat ruined it for myself, finding out who she actually chooses. However, I completely disagree with all of the negative comments this book was getting. I was actually very happy with who she ended up with in the end. I had wanted it from way back and I understand the frustration that fans felt after having so much put into a relationship. But I enjoy the explanation, some people just are not meant to be.This book was both wonderful and frustrating. You know that moment when you are reading a book or watching a movie and are so frustrated with the characters lack of communication. Seriously, who goes that long without talking? Or that everything could be resolved with one short phone call, yea I felt that. But all in all I am happy that the pretty much fairytale book series came to a fairytale ending.
