Books Here and There

I really love books - that's why I'm here. Sometimes I write reviews, though they are not always that good.

 

I also have a great love for animals and have a rabbit, two dogs, a cat and two rats at the moment.

Glimpse

Glimpse - Stacey Wallace Benefiel Believe me when I say that I tried many times to finish this book. Unfortunately I couldn't and although I wanted to enjoy it after reading the description, it seemed to me like nothing that important occurred or was going to occur.
Awakening - Karice Bolton I enjoyed this book but to me it had a few problems. I felt that Ana's "soulmate" and new family but the soulmate Athen in particular was too perfect for my liking. Don't get me wrong here I enjoy a little perfect now and then but I couldn't find anything wrong with these people. They are excellent fighters, get along perfectly, are completely loyal, have excellent manners and don't hold any serious grudges against their enemies. Sorry for that, it was bothering me a bit.
The Naming - Alison Croggon This was definitely one of my all time favorite reads. I loved Maerad her personality was enjoyable and she never once really got on my nerves like the main characters of many other books have a habit of doing.

Dark Flame (Immortals Series #4)

Dark Flame - Alyson Noel This was definitely the WORST book in this series yet. I tolerated the idiocy of the main character up to this point only because I thought there was a chance she would grow out of it. Did she? NOT A CHANCE!!! I couldn't even finish this because even after a few pages it looked pretty much the same as all the others. Ever: "I love you Damen!" Problem that threatens ever and Damen's relationship.Struggling with problem.Solution.This isn't exactly a healthy relationship. Ever shouldn't rely on him that much, it isn't healthy. It also probably isn't the best idea to have no life outside of Mr. Perfect Damen. I get that she still hangs out with her friends, they really don't seem to matter to her anymore. Even when she's with them he is all she thinks about. GAAAHHH!!!

Pure - Julianna Baggott I got really bored in the middle and couldn't finish it.

Coexist: Keegan's Chronicles

Coexist - Julia Crane Something about Keegan really got on my nerves. Maybe it had to do with how perfect she was or how self-centered she acted. Or maybe it was both that combined with how she was a love struck idiot who couldn't do anything for herself. So pitiful. Keegan ruined this story for me, without her I might have liked it a bit better. Maybe.
Raven (The Raven Saga, #1) - Suzy Turner The idea that was put forth for this book was a good one. I didn't like how Lilly accepted the idea that she could shape shift into either a cat or raven or both. Although her 'mother' and father weren't there for her and didn't show her love I don't think something of that nature would make her except that her fake mother was a witch. More explanation would have helped this story overall. Also the author neglected the element of showing how the characters grew to care for each other and instead just stated her evidence. I also feel that Lilly's new family excepted her too quickly - right away actually. They took no time at all to get to know her either they just sort of knew. I found that quite annoying.

The Selection

The Selection - I really feel bad about liking this book now that I know how Kiera Cass has treated negative reviewers of her book. This link is to the review http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/231455953?page=5&utm_medium=email&utm_source=comment_instant#comment_43376093So putting it simply although I enjoyed this book, the author is definitely not a nice person. (Or if she is, she has done an amazing job of hiding it)

Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch

Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch - Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman Wonderful literature by two amazing authors.
The Hunger Games - Suzanne  Collins Honestly I liked the movie better. Katniss annoyed me greatly.Katniss: LETS GO KILL PEOPLE! Killing people has become boring. :( Hmm...Let's break someone's heart. And then we can ponder over which guy we like. Haha Katniss smart.Me: No Katniss you just killed a bunch of people! Why doesn't this bother you?Katniss: BOYS!!!
