So, I know, I know, I probably should stop reading all these paranormal romance series, but they're ridiculously addicting. They're chocolates, you can't stop with just one ( Read more... )

So I've been on an Anita Blake marathon for the past few days. When I first started out, I was shocked that I hadn't picked it up before! I mean, I was expecting something horribly dry and boring like Vampire Lestat, which I tried to read after watching Interview with a Vampire. However, the Anita Blake books were shockingly good. I really liked ( Read more... )

So I just blazed through the Weather Warden series by Rachel Caine (thus far there are seven books) and have come to the conclusion that the first novel in the series was definately the best one.

In the first novel, Thin Air I loved the style of storytelling. The author does this neat flashback trick that doesn't seem pretentious or contrived, but ( Read more... )

Today was Ally's birthday and we went to a movie (with Jennifer). It was my first time driving out that far, but I didn't have any incidents and I didn't get lost, so it was went pretty well. We ate at Ruby Tuesday's before the movie and I had the asian salmon and shrimp -- the salmon was pretty good, though the shrimp had somethng to be desired ( Read more... )

So I just tried reading Historie and let me tell you, it was friggin' amazing! I read all the current chapters (54) in one sitting! The main character, Eumenes, was surprisingly likable and you were totally cheering for him all the way. He's clever and nice and very talented and I couldn't wait to see what he would do next. He was amazingly ( Read more... )

So I just finished reading The Good Thief by Hannah Tinti and I have to say, I was rather impressed! It was a lovely story, though I wonder why the mouse-trap owner talked like a hick when the orphans didn't, but whatever. I thought it was a very clever and kind of heart warming story. I kept waiting for something supernatural to happen, but I ( Read more... )

OMG. So I was looking for a play-by for this new RP I'm at, and they force you to use a model instead of just any old celebrity, much to my annoyance. Anyway, so I was looking up Anja Rubik and found out that the cover of the first volume of The One (the manhwa, I believe it's Taiwanese, but I'm not sure) anyway, it looks exactly the same ( Read more... )

So, I've just finished reading The Summoner by Gail Z. Martin. It was pretty good, though perhaps the version I read was not very well-edited. It was missing end or beginning quotation marks and sometimes the intalics continued where they had no right to. And sure, I've read other books with similiar mistakes, but one that really irritated me was ( Read more... )
