Confessions of a Book Addict

Reached past times Ally Condie My rating: 4 of five stars Reached is the culmination of the Matched trilogy, quite a plumbing equipment halt although non altogether satisfying. I'm giving it iv stars out of 5, exactly because it was quite the trilogy together with well-written, an enjoyable read together with something I'm glad I read fifty-fifty if I didn't genuinely appreciate the concluding book. The mass itself focuses mainly on the Rising infiltrating the Society amongst a plague that was created past times the Society inwards the starting fourth dimension place. Only, things don't become quite every bit the Rising had planned, together with things start falling apart real quickly. The pacing of the mass was awkward, every bit weeks together with months would transcend amongst solely a small-scale banking concern annotation such every bit "We had been hither for ii months" or "The yet had been nether for 3 weeks," etc. Jumping close...

This is a sequel, together with thus if you lot bring non read The Line , become read that first! Away past times Teri Hall My rating: 3 of v stars It tin last hard to review majority ii of three because there's all the same together with thus much left unsaid from majority 1. I'm nearly irritated amongst the destination of Away because it skipped together with thus much time, things happened means also quickly, the climax came inwards the in conclusion few pages (which is non the means to destination a book, fifty-fifty if it's to last continued), together with there's all the same roughly other majority to come. I mean value Teri Hall has grown into the format together with story, in that place was to a greater extent than grapheme evolution (albeit solely slightly), simply it seems in that place was less of a existent plot this fourth dimension together with to a greater extent than of people traveling to plough over something. I'm hoping the in conclusion...

Please pardon me for a moment, equally this is nowhere around professional person of me... Hero past times Alethea Kontis Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. I was together with thence excited that Enchanted was a stand-alone, together with right away it has a sequel? And a 3rd book? WTH? Not that this is bad news, inward fact I loved Enchanted together with wanted to read to a greater extent than of Kontis' work, merely I acknowledge the fact that it's buy the farm a serial is a fleck disappointing. At to the lowest degree it's the even out of around other of the sisters, together with non a continuation of the end book. ANYWAY... YAY I GET TO READ MORE KONTIS SOON! BOO IT'S NOT COMING OUT UNTIL OCTOBER! YAY I LOVE THIS COVER! View all my reviews

Smoke too Mirrors past times Neil Gaiman My rating: 4 of five stars This collection of brusk stories past times ane of the most talented writers of today is surprising too haunting, too volition exit you lot thinking "What if this were real?" I actually enjoyed the dissimilar types of stories inward this collection, every bit roughly were nearly vampires, roughly nearly strange happenings, roughly were straight-up fantasy or scientific discipline fiction, too ane was nearly an angel who no longer has wings. The element I liked the most nearly the mass was the introduction past times Neil Gaiman himself. In it, he explains the ideas behind each of the stories, or where the stories started out, or where they ended up. The mass is too interspersed amongst poems that say quick, creepy too intriguing tales. There were a few stories I didn't enjoy, too most of them are definitely adult (one is practically porn but I didn't hear it), too thus don't allow your pre-te...

H5N1 few weeks agone I won a gift bill of fare to  Amazon  from  On The Edge , which I promptly spent on books!  One of the books I ordered ended upwards non beingness shipped, I approximate the somebody didn't convey it or something.  But I did larn 4 others:  The Swan Kingdom  by Zoe Marriott,  The Girl who Fell From the Sky  by Heidi W.

Lots of links, I know, simply this is a pretty big majority haul.  Very exciting!  Looks similar I convey a lot of reading to create this year.  I also picked upwards a re-create of...

Photo courtesy of Amazon.com Neil Gaiman, quite a vivid story-teller, together with someone I'm currently reading, has a novel majority coming out!  He announced it a few months ago, which made me a flake antsy, but together with hence I got on to other things together with promptly forgot all close it.  I am a bad reader. BUT!  This calendar week he announced that the majority is coming out inwards June inwards the US, which makes me happy.  What makes me fifty-fifty happier is that his local bookstore inwards Cambridge (only 2 hours from me!  Stalker time?) has them available for pre-order.  But non merely whatever pre-order, he's signing them!  Unfortunately non inwards person, but hey, they'll hold upward signed! Of course of teaching this agency the majority must hold upward mine, consummate alongside signature, equally it would hold upward the entirely signed Gaiman I own.  Also, straightaway that I know he's inwards Cambridge, I ti...
