It took me awhile to get through book three of the Dave Hooper trilogy. I've never been much for military fiction so I think that perhaps the amount of fighting scenes in Ascendance might have slowed me down. It's not that Ascendance wasn't very good or that I disliked it, in fact I still loved it, but I found the beginning fighting scenes that take up a good 40% of the book were unnecessary for someone reading this series for the wit, sarcasm and fantasy elements. Birmingham is extremely well written and his action sequences are believable and inspiring. I struggled ... Continue Reading...
Top 10 Things I Love About The Lunar Chronicles!
1. Bad Ass Mechanics Yeah that's right, number one on the list is Cinder because she's awesome. She's skilled and tough. She's has had a hard life but doesn't let that get in the way of doing what's right. She's the perfect space-criminal Cinderella. 2. It's Unpredictable It's super fun to see how everything comes together at the end of each installment of the Lunar Chronicles series. At the beginning each novel you can sort of see what kinds of plot developments will take place but can't ever predict how they will happen. Even how the broader picture develops is a ...

Review: Santa 356
I've long awaited my chance to read a book from the Chet the Dog series, but I've also always been a bit apprehensive in regards to reading a novel written completely from the point of view of a canine. So, when I saw Santa 365 I figured why not? I couldn't resist an eShort story that could help me decide whether I really wanted to read this series or not. Results? Yes, I definitely want to read some more of the Chet and Bernie series. Plumpy Napoleon, freshly released from prison, visits the private detective who caught him only eight moths prior. Bernie, said ... Continue Reading...
Review: Scarlet
Marissa Meyer is quickly becoming one of my favorite YA authors. Her fusion of Young Adult romance and science fiction with personal touches to well known fairy tales makes for a unique read. I love how she's also added a few subtle pieces from the wildly popular Sailor Moon anime without really giving it away. I didn't really pick up on the Sailor Moon influences until I was trying to convince a friend she should read The Lunar Chronicles, but maybe that's only because I'm not a huge fan of anime.. If you have not read Cinder (Lunar Chronicles, Book 1), I would ... Continue Reading...
Review: Death on Ibiza
Its been awhile since I read a crime thriller so when I saw Death on Ibiza I got really excited. The synopsis captured my interest because of the "vacation gone wrong", whodunit mystery. The lack of romance was a nice change because sometimes a girl just needs a read completely unlike the usual! Piel delivers writing that, with some experience, could become the next Kathy Reichs or James Patterson. Nick is a German personal trainer on vacation in Ibiza, Spain. The friendship with a local drug lord's son is worth the opportunity to live in luxury and enjoy exclusive ... Continue Reading...
