Siden d. 4. august 1996 har jeg skrevet ned hver gang jeg har læst en bog, og er startet forfra med nr 1 hver den 4. august. Da det efterhånden er ved at være en del notesbøger, har jeg besluttet, at fra d. 4. august 2008 går over til blog i stedet for notesbog

læst til læseklub i september under tema med debuterende kontroversielle forfatterinder.
Den var interessant som et tidsbillede, og også velskrevet. Men den fangede mig ikke for alvor. Hovedrollen er for mig et frustrerende bekendtskab. Hun vil være fri og løssluppen, men lader sig stadig føre afsted af mænd. Hun fører ingen.

Nice guys finish last, but that doesn’t mean they give up the fight. Sometimes it’s necessary to keep trudging through the rain in the hopes of finding a break in the clouds. William Townson is a good person. He’s kind, considerate, and the last thing he ever wanted was to hurt anyone. Accidents happen though, and when they do, all that can be done is to pick up the pieces. For William, this means trying to hold together a stagnant relationship while resisting the temptation of Jason Grant, a young man with eyes just as intense as his love. Only the future can promise redemption for mistakes of the past, forcing William to choose between the Coast Guard and the needs of his heart. Can he find his way through the downpour to somewhere warm and dry? Something like Rain is the latest installment of the Something Like… series, bringing shape to another character’s life while checking in with those from previous books.

This isn’t a coming out story. Nor is it the tale of a lonely heart seeking companionship. This is about how I learned to fight. My name is Nathaniel Courtney and I’m a survivor. I didn’t let the cruelty of others wear me down, and I’ve weathered the more subtle hardships of the heart. Love is a Trojan horse, slipping past your guard and leaving you ransacked and vulnerable. I emerged from that war not unscathed but as a new man. The only mistake I ever made was letting the right guy get away. Now I’ve got one more chance. This is the final battle, because if I fail now… I won’t. You’ll see. Just listen to my story, Kelly Phillips, and when I’m done, please don’t walk away. Take this weary soldier into your arms so we can find peace together.
Nathaniel er et specielt bekendskab. Er ikke sikker på, at jeg altid helt forstod ham, men det var virkelig interessant at læse hans historie.
Kunne også rigtig godt lide de mange små og store måder forfatteren bandt Nathaniels historie sammen med alle de tidligere bøger i serien

Never stop running. No matter how often life trips you up, or how many times your enemies knock you down, just get up and keep on moving until you find where you belong. Kelly Phillips has been out and proud since he was a young teenager, and thanks to the gay youth group he frequents, he’s never been short on friends or lovers. But when you have almost everything, it’s hard not to focus on what’s just out of reach: A best friend, who would be Mr. Right if he wasn’t already Mr. Straight. Or that handsome athlete at school, who would be easier to wrangle if not for his angel wings. And then there’s the guy who might be a perfect fit, maybe even a soulmate… if only he wasn’t convinced he didn’t need anyone. Kelly has always been good at running. Now he must learn to chase, which will not only test his endurance, but the durability of his heart as well
Jeg fandt denne bog lidt mindre god end de andre i serien, men det var kun fordi jeg ikke brød mig så meget om Kelly. Specielt i den første halvdel af bogen. Men det er stadig en god bog, og den sidste halvdel fandt jeg Kelly noget mere interessant og en jeg ville holde med

Nothing in this world is permanent. Friends, lovers, even family, can all disappear in the blink of an eye. Without these anchors, it’s all too easy to find oneself drifting. Jason Grant doesn’t have much, aside from a beat-up old guitar and knack for getting kicked out of foster homes. His latest placement is set to be just another in a long line of failures. Then he meets Caesar Hubbard, a handsome guy who lives down the hall. For the first time in his life, Jason wants to stay, which means learning to be part of a family, and not letting his feelings—or his actions—ruin his first real chance of falling in love. Something Like Spring introduces a new character to the Seasons story, one with a troubled past and an equally turbulent future. Jason must traverse a winding road fraught with emotional conflicts and tough decisions… a road that might just lead to a certain couple in Austin
Bog fire i Something like serien. Jeg er glædelig overrasket over, at niveauet holdes. Stadig velskreven og det er en ny historie. Intet føles som gentagelse. Sammen med Ben og Tim er Jason en af mine yndlingspersoner i hele serien.

Love can appear unexpectedly: a chance meeting at a friend’s wedding, the arrival of a handsome new co-worker… or while being robbed at a convenience store. For some, love seems an impossible dream. Growing up gay in small-town Missouri, Jace Holden thought his chance would never come. When he meets Victor—a wild soul and fellow outsider—his chances of finding love go from bleak to a very uncertain maybe. Bracing his heart, Jace chases after his desire, hoping for a warm hand to hold his tight. Something Like Autumn tells the story of Jace’s life before the events of Something Like Summer, while also revisiting his time with Benjamin Bentley
Så er det Jace's historie. Jeg er glad for at få hans historie også. I ...summer og ...Winter er hans næsten for god, for perfekt. Med denne bog bliver han mere menneskelig

There are two sides to every story. When you’re Tim Wyman, sometimes there are three. Tim hoped moving to Texas would mean a new beginning but soon finds himself falling into the same tired patterns. Until he meets recklessly brave Benjamin Bentley, who introduces Tim to a world of love, sex, and warmth. Certain that society won’t understand what he and Ben have together, Tim struggles to protect their relationship, even if it means twisting the truth. Buried beneath his own deceptions, Tim must claw his way to the surface in the hopes of learning to fly. Something Like Winter, the companion novel to Something Like Summer, tells the story from Tim Wyman’s perspective, revealing new private moments and personal journeys

Love, like everything in the universe, cannot be destroyed. But over time it can change. The hot Texas nights were lonely for Ben before his heart began beating to the rhythm of two words; Tim Wyman. By all appearances, Tim had the perfect body and ideal life, but when a not-so-accidental collision brings them together, Ben discovers that the truth is rarely so simple. If winning Tim’s heart was an impossible quest, keeping it would prove even harder as family, society, and emotion threaten to tear them apart. Something Like Summer is a love story spanning a decade and beyond as two boys discover what it means to be friends, lovers, and sometimes even enemies
Jeg tog chancen og købte alle ti i serien uden at have læst nogen af dem før. Det var heldigvis et godt valg. Virkelig god og med realistiske personer. Jeg kunne specielt godt lide, at det ikke kun var en teenage romance man fulgte, men også fulgte dem som de blev voksne og modne.

William, Joey, Noah og Oscar er fire helt almindelige unge drenge. En dag mødes de til audition for at blive medlem af verdens største boyband EUROAR. Kan de klare det?
Det er en interessant præmis, som kunne have været rigtig interessant. Bogen er ikke godt skrevet, men den er bare så kort, at persontegningerne bliver for overfladiske. Enten skulle bogen have været fire gange så lang eller også skulle de forskellige personer have hver deres bog. Man kommer simpelthen ikke nok i dybden til at man investerer i personerne.
