Bout of Books 8.0: Day Four

Today I struggled through read a grand total of 77 pages.



After reading something as amazing and beautiful as Shades of Earth, I did not feel quite up to jumping into another dystopian/action-packed novel. And so I picked up The Jerk Magnet by Melody Carlson; a coming-to-terms novel about a girl, a makeover, and some pretty attractive classmates. Unfortunately, however, this book made me want to hit my head against a solid object. Repeatedly.


In conclusion, I only made it 30% of the way through before giving up for the night...
