Reading now...

So I haven't been on in a while and I am sorry. Been very busy, but I just finished The Silkworm by Robert Galbraith - and it was AMAZING!!! Same great characters with a new case to solve. I love J.K and I love her alter ego as well.

Now I'm reading the final book in the All Souls Trilogy The Book of Life by Deborah Harkness. So far it's really really good. It's piecing together what was left off in book 1 and 2 and bringing forth new secrets that may prove to be helpful or not to the main characters Diana and Matthew. But we will see, we will see. I just don't want the book to end. Why do all good books have to end? I hate when they end, it's like saying goodbye to a friend. But then again, you can always reread and reacquaint yourself with your friends any time you want to, and that's always good for me. I must have revisited Hogwarts a thousand times and it never gets old, though it does get sad at times, mostly towards the end. Tissues are always necessary.

After this book I have a couple options to read, but I don't know what that will be yet. You'll just have to wait and see. Happy Reading!

Witchy Tiaras

I'm almost done with Shadow of Night ...I won't give a run down of the book until I'm done, so instead I'm going to discuss a little show called Toddlers and Tiaras - some may be aware of this show as it has been on for a few years now on TLC. I watch this show on a regular basis - 1. Because I can't help watching a train wreck happen 2. Because there's nothing else on and reality tv can be pretty entertaining 3. I can't understand how some parents can put their children through something so grueling and cruel as a beauty pageant. Now, you may think that because I watch the show I condone this sort of behavior and in turn I am one of the many viewers that keep shows like this on tv. But, let me explain a little bit. My mind works in ways that make it attracted to things that I can not explain or understand - for example I'm fascinated by the Holocaust, beauty pageants and witches, vampires and werewolves (not the Twilight kind either). Beauty pageants ...

Fevre Dream - George R.R. Martin

The vampire novel "Fevre Dream" by George R.R. Martin has only a few things in common with his "Game of Thrones" series - character development and setting. Everything else about the book is a far cry from the fictional world of Westeros. First published in 1982, "Fevre Dream" precedes the famous book and now television series by a few years and yet I only just read it. Set in 1857 along the Mississippi River, Martin brings to life the world of riverboats and vampires. Abner Marsh is a struggling riverboat captain longing for a fast steamboat to race along the Mississippi. Joshua York, a wealthy, pale stranger, is his answer. Though at the time, Marsh believes York to be aspiring steamboat captain, he soon learns that York isn't what he seems. He never comes out during the day and drinks only from his supply locked away in his cabin. He also has been collecting newspaper clippings of disappearances along the river. When Marsh confronts York abou...

Shadow of Night

So I finished the book Shadow of Night ...it was amazing! I can not wait until the third installment comes out and I hope that its soon. The character development of Matthew and Diana is great. Throughout the book they find out more about themselves and each other, even though they are decades in the past. Matthew, because he lived in that time period, has to revert back to his old ways and the reader can see how different was in the past compared to the present. When time traveling, you learn that you are not supposed to alter time. Matthew and Diana left an important mark on Elizabethan London and the rest of history. Historical figures come and go throughout the book, such as Christopher Marlowe, Walter Raleigh, Queen Elizabeth and a brief mention of William Shakespeare. Diana was there to learn more about her magic, but only developed her power towards the end when a surprising character appears and helps rid her of her fear of magic. There are plenty more characters in the book, ...
