January's Mini Reviews

This post should be subtitled A Bunch of the Kindle Unlimited Books I Read Before My Subscription Ran Out.

I had a 3-month subscription to Kindle Unlimited that I got for a 99¢ deal in November. My subscription expired on February 1, and I decided not to renew for $9.99 per month. So I spent a lot of January trying to read as many KU books as possible! I've posted reviews of some already; these are ones I didn't want to give full-blown, normal reviews to, but I also wanted to document in some way. So here ya go ... no waiting until the end of the year this time around!

"Sugar and Spice" by Shari L. Tapscott

Over the last few months, I've been reading Shari L. Tapscott's Glitter & Sparkle series. I loved the first book (with a few reservations) and felt ambivalent about the second, and I wasn't sure if I wanted to continue the series ... but after a good but fairly heavy read, I was looking for something light, so I picked up the third book, Sugar and Spice.

"Shine and Shimmer" by Shari L. Tapscott

I finished reading Shari L. Tapscott's Glitter and Sparkle with a dilemma. I liked it. A lot. But I was torn because, for as engaging (and clean) as it was, it also crossed what I felt were some ethical, if not moral, lines. I wasn't sure if I wanted to continue the series, but then I found the second book in the series, Shine and Shimmer, on my Kindle. Apparently I got it as a freebie last summer. Since I own it, I figured I may as well read it.

"Glitter and Sparkle" by Shari L. Tapscott

I borrowed Glitter and Sparkle through Prime reading because it was recommended to fans of Kasie West. That descriptor has bitten me before, but I decided to give the book a chance anyway.

Fortunately, Glitter and Sparkle, while not perfect, is actually quite West-like.
