Welcome to Goodreads!

So I've taken the plunge. I tried to avoid it. You know how it is- social media can just suck you in- the ultimate waste of time. Today, though, I succumbed- I registered for Goodreads. I mean, how bad can it be? Social media mixed with one of my favorite things- reading. I foresee myself spending TONS of time on this site.

How about you? Are you on Goodreads? What is some of your favorite things about the site?

"Beloved" by Robin Lee Hatcher

Robin Lee Hatcher’s “Beloved” is a fictional story about Diana Applegate, a young woman who can’t seem to catch a break. This streak continues at her engagement party when her formerly presumed dead husband walks through the door! Her life takes a shift when he begs her to stand by him as he runs for Senate, but Diana isn’t quite sure since he wasn’t the model husband before his alleged “death.”

This story was enjoyable enough. The plot was good, and the characters were fun. It was nice to see Tyson Applegate’s change in priorities as the story evolves aided by flashbacks giving the reader a consuming picture of the evolution of his character. It was a good story, but it didn’t have a spark that had me eagerly trying to finish it.
