Kini’s Friday Kisses

June 8, 2018 by Kini 3 Comments

It's Friday and I stayed up too late watching hockey last night!  BUT I finally finished a book!!!! I feel like I deserve a parade.  I started The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang last night but had a hard time reading as I was also watching the Washington Capitals win the Stanley Cup! It is starting out great and I was a bit surprised about how much sex stuff there is so far. I think the cover made me think it was going to be more closed door or at least no body parts mentioned, but I was Continue Reading

I struggle with reviews for books I love. I worry about saying too much, so I Continue Reading
