So far this one's pretty awesome. Had a bumpy start, but that was also due to me being in a tad noisy environment! Loving it so far!

"'I am a gentleman. That's why you're on your own with those clothes.' Then he decided to turn my teasing back on me. 'Besides, if I were to take them off, I'd need to taste you right--' the hand not supporting me rose to ever-so-gently slide over my throat until his thumb caressed the hollow, '--here.'" p 82

This week's question is: Top Ten Tuesday REWIND!
Top Ten Favorite Books that Surprised You (Meaning I was glad I was wrong about whatever preconceived notions I had about the book!)
*in no particular order
1. Halfway to the Grave by Jeaniene Frost--had thought it was going to be more of a romance book, so glad I was wrong!
2. Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder--had thought it would be a bit "complicated" being in a magical type world. Again, glad I was wrong!
3. 3:59 by Gretchen McNeil--an awesome thriller that was kind of heartracing! Had thought it would be more of a contemp.
4. Intertwined by Gena Showalter--was hesitant since it had a male narrator and I wasn't used to that at the time!
5. Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead--this is what brought me back to YA since my online friends told me I had to read it! Was worried it would have too much teen drama and angst like the YA books had at the time!
6. Bitten by Kelley Armstrong--another series I was afraid would have too much focus on romance, but I got over it when I learned I was so wrong!
7. Divergent by Veronica Roth--wasn't sure how I would take to the dystopian genre since I loved paranormal. But took a chance on it and loved it!
8. First Grave on the Right by Darynda Jones--from this cover I thought it was more of a chick lit book despite the skill and scythe. And oh wow was that wrong! Charley is anything but chicky!
9. Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins--I thought this one would be like a Harriet Potter! Note the play on words. But yeah, that was wrong too. Sophie was freaking hilarious!
10. Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion--wasn't sure how I would like a book about a zombie boy. But then the previews for the movie made it look pretty awesome! So I read the book THEN bought the DVD! So I still did it the right way! ;)
