I'm not sure what to think after reading this.
I found it hard to get into this to start with and Quincy's naïve attitude and thoughts really annoyed me at times. As for Brody, I liked him, though his behaviour wasn't always on the plus side. And as for Declan, he was a nice guy but there wasn't really a spark like there was with Brody.
I'm not sure I understood the ending either but oh, well.

Nice easy watch
I find this a nice easy watch when I have gone brain dead in the evening after a manic day and do not want to concentrate on an actual programme or documentary. It makes me feel a bit better about my awful cake decorating skills - it's always good to see your not the only one who is not so good.

It’s not subtle, but boy does it get the job done. The Day After Tomorrow, directed by Roland Emmerich aka the disaster movie expert, this disaster movie is a slickly shot and well-paced film that’s brimming with special effects.
Some of them hold up well and some of them don’t (ahem, the wolves). But the story is decent and Jake Gyllenhaal is always a win, plus Dennis Quaid is always reliable. It’s also much, much better than 2009’s 2012 and remains a really good addition to the genre, though maybe a little too close to home for the UK at the moment. Storm Emma is on her way and she’s not going to be pretty.

It's the end.
I feel kinda sad that this is the last time that I will ever read about Claire, Shane, Eve, Michael, Amelie, Oliver, Myrnin and the rest of Morganville. Over the last fifteen books the little town and it's residents have grown on me.
I've always loved Myrnin and I think I love him a little more after this. He's definitely memorable with his crazy fashion sense and his lab. The other thing that I loved in this book was the Glass House, it's always had a personality but the way it went about helping the gang in this one *grins*
I'm glad that everything worked out in the end, both for the humans and the vampires. A nice ending to the series.

This is the first book I got from my branch of the Austin Public Library when they opened up after quarantine. So, it'll always have a special place in my heart. The cover is super cool too.
I love historical fiction most of the time, and when I opened up this book, I was worried. It was written in the vernacular. It only took me about a chapter to get into it. The story is about clipping coins, which has always fascinated me. I live in a state that's very much 'stick it to the man', so I could relate to the attitude of the characters.
Obviously, it was predictable, and you knew how it had to end, it is based in historical fact, after all... and the title happens to be The Gallows Pole. The novel really benefits from the fact that the author moved to the area this took place in, and did all of his research there. It resulted in an amazing novel. I can't wait to read something else from this author.
