As usual, this was another great southern vampire novel by charlaine harris. This one was good, but i must say that it did not keep me in suspense of who the killer was but it still surprised with it, and that last page of the book-geez, it just makes me even more curious to read the next one!

The Chroncicles of Ancient Darkness is awesome! I LOVE Wolf and it is so cool ’seeing’ the world through his eyes. I am hooked! I first got Wolf Brother at a book fair and I haven’t been able to put the series down! My favorite is probably Spirit Walker or Wolf Brother, but the latest ones are just as good.

I have really enjoyed all of Marian Keyes’ books, so I was a little surprised to not dig this one very much. The premise of the book was promising and there were some truly good moments. However, I found it hard to care about any of the characters and I was particularly disappointed that Alecia’s viewpoint was reduced to about 4 total pages of the entire book. Maybe because the topics (alcholism and domestic violence) were so sensitive, I found it hard to find the whimsical, comedic tone I’ve come to appreciate with Keyes’ previous work.

Another great Warrior book. I really enjoy reading manga so not much said Graystripe and Millie have finally reached end of their Journey. Go grab a copy especially those who are chat lovers.

Synopsis

Graystripe and Millie have finally found ThunderClan’s old territory, but Twoleg monsters have devastated the forest and Graystripe fears that all of his Clanmates have been killed or captured by Twolegs. Millie insists that they keep looking, and an old friend helps point the two cats on the path that the Clans followed many moons ago.

I found this book at the library, the title just stuck a chord with me and I grabbed the copy.What an interesting read. A well crafted book. Each chapter follows Adena’s life with memories specifically evoked by some piece of clothing or outfit. Even though I am not a shopper or a clothes hound, I could completely relate to. It’s fun to read :) [click to continue...]
