"This film changed my life. I wouldn’t have known it existed if I hadn’t gone to see a terrible Don Johnson movie, A Boy and His Dog, in a double bill with my brother. We’d see anything in Oklahoma City to pass the time, and we were the only kids in the theatre, smoking a joint. Then the second film came on. I hadn’t known this period of Pink Floyd. It opened up a new world of music to me. I was 16, wanting to be a rock star, and they actually talked about how they made their songs. I went out and bought a Stratocaster like Dave Gilmour’s soon after. I still can’t believe I had the luck to see it."

Book #1 in the Bay Island Psychic mystery series.

This paranormal cozy mystery was really mostly cozy, with just a touch of paranormal, but that was fine with me. I loved the protagonist, Cass. She and her friends were very well developed, and felt like a group of people I’d like to get to know. The mystery itself was well written and full of surprises. It took me a few chapters to get really sucked in, but once I did, I couldn’t put it down. This was a great way to start a series – I’ll be watching for book #2!

<i>NOTE: I voluntary read and reviewed an advanced copy.</i>

I received this book for free through the Goodreads First Reads program.

Right, I could not finish this book. When reading a book becomes more like a chore I dread doing, I have to stop unfortunately or I'd never end up reading any other book until I finished this one.

I just found the pacing to be a bit too slow for my liking, and I just felt confused about who's who in the book. Laura felt more like a male character than a female character...I don't know, it just felt all wrong to me.

However, this could just be me. I'd recommend others to read it because they may end up liking it.

Sometime search results are plentiful and shifting through it can be a bit daunting. Its also a bit of a pain that when my youngest is listen I can't listen to my playlists. (0 more)
Love it
I love that I can have a playlist for every thing I do. Mood music for reading and gaming. Hang out the kids or friends. It is wonderful to get enjoy all the music from my school days when ever I want. This is really worth the small amount they charge for the premium account. Give it a shot and enjoy the sound waves.
  
A very inspiring set of books !
 I loved all these stories, of course I did have my favorites. I read this book over the course of a couple days picking a different story to read each day. I quite looked forward to having a different take on the Erie Brides every night :) and now I have some new authors to follow and find more books. I think that these authors did a great job describing the characters and their surroundings. I sincerely recommend you read this book.
I volunteered to read this book from Barbour Publishing in return for my honest feedback. The thoughts and opinions expressed with in are my own.

I was a little wary of reading this since I liked the first but didn't love it.

But this. This I loved. The emotions between Logan and Tate were explosive. The wanting of both of them to make it into more than just sex, to make it into a full relationship, to go public. It melted me and my soft, hopeless-romantic heart.

I cried, I wanted to throw my Kindle, I smiled, I 'aah'ed.

It was a bit of a rollercoaster what with religious parents and past, painful relationships but they came through it all in the end stronger than ever.

What a way to end! I need the third book now!

Album Favorite

"Like I say, it all happened at the same time when I was 18, when I suddenly discovered all of that 60s culture. Really, The Beatles should be there as well but I wanted to avoid putting stuff on the list that was too obvious. Also with this list, I wanted some stuff that was formative, as opposed to just the stuff I listen to a lot and there's something about that album, Forever Changes. I don't know what it is about 1967, I hadn't really thought about that. 69's a good year as well. 64 was a really good year, 59 was a good year. 73 was a good year."

This book had been on my radar for a few years--I know, a long time, right?--but I'd always put it off due to the price tag and the "do I really want to read it" question. So when I saw it on Scribd I thought let's try it.

I'm glad I did. It had a good build up throughout, both in relation to the Nastya and Josh thing and to Nastya's past. I really liked the relationship, though Nastya almost killed me when she pushed him away. The thing from her past felt a little flat for me, I expected more fireworks but I also understand why there weren't any.

A nice story overall.

However, I never managed to get into it. I didn’t realise it would be quite as sci-fi as it seemed to begin with and struggled to relate to the protagonist.

I thought this was going to stay as a DNF forever, as I had a tendency to never try to pick a book up again after I have DNF’d it. However, just before I was going on holiday I saw a review for it over on another blog and decided that I should try it again. My tastes have changed a lot in a few years, so I was hoping I would find it easier to read this time around.

And I was right! I wasn’t hooked right at the beginning so it took some commitment to carry on reading. But now I really enjoyed the concept of aliens used in this and all of the mystery.

I actually got hooked on this! It’s almost like reading an episode of Black Mirror, which is another thing I’m addicted to.

Fair enough, I wasn’t completely sure I liked the characters, but you don’t have to love the characters in order to enjoy a novel.

I have an obsession with urban explorers going into abandoned places, and I love their videos. More Than This is set in a completely abandoned world, and I found Ness’s description of how nature took over a familiar place was really fascinating. This made me really like his writing and now I’m considering reading more of his books!
