"It is so long. I’ve never read the whole thing at once, but have jumped around a lot. I've enjoyed doing that, although the ‘80s mini-series, plus the excellent, recently released film, complicate that relationship to the book."

I adore this series so much.

Darynda just has a way of writing likeable characters and putting Charley and Reyes together...well, it's perfection

It's witty, it's hot, it's romantic. It's perfect.

I need book 8 like right now!
  
Fabulous rocker series, you'll fall in love with each character (0 more)
Another fabulous book from Terri Anne Browning!
Another fabulous book from Terri Anne Browning! I've missed a bunch of this series and man I've got to get caught up!? Every one of her books sucks me in from page one and Rocking Kin was no different! Kin is struggling after the loss of her mother, having promised to move in with her Father, a man who has been non-existent in her life until now. Moved across the country, away from the only family she knows and loves, finding herself in a house she'll never consider home, surrounded by people who are family by name alone... Thankfully she meets Lucy, her new best friend and until Jace, a ghost from her past comes back into the picture, everything seemed manageable. But now he's back and her heart can't take another hit.... Fabulous rocker series & author, incredibly beautiful story, I couldn't help but fall in love with everyone of these characters. HIGHLY recommended book, series & author!!

1st book in the Extinction Of All Children trilogy
I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book so I could give an honest review.

Extinction Of All Children is the 1st book in a trilogy by L.J. Epps. I have seen it referred to as both the Extinction and the Extinction of All Children trilogy. If I really like a book I hate to wait for more in the series. Fortunately, all 3 books have been published.

At first, I am not sure why but the series reminded me of the Shadow Children 7 book series by Margaret Peterson Haddix. (If you have not read the Shadow Children you should definitely check it out.) Both were written well and involved societies in which children were not allowed to be born. That is where the similarities end.

In Extinction, the world is divided into 3 classes - the rich, the working class, and the poor - in which they live in separate territories and are not allowed to mix. The poor are forbidden to have any children. This series focuses on Emma, the last child born in Territory L. Any children born after her were taken to be killed. She is the last to turn 18. She knows this is wrong and you will need to read the book to find out what she does about it.

A Classic Read for Any Woman or Young Girl
A classic book every girl should read. The first book in series of three including Little Women, Little Men, and Jo's Boys. By far, this first book is the best. You become invested in the characters' hardships and struggles with poverty, family life, romances, sibling rivalries, and many other everyday things to whom anyone can relate.

I am hooked on the Percy Jackson series. It reminds me of Harry Potter, but with a bit more of an academic edge to it. I didn't like the 2nd book as much as the 1st, but it was still an entertaining read. I'm going to go start the 3rd one right now. BTW, I saw the movie for Book 1...did NOT like it at all. The book was MUCH better!!!!

Oh my goodness! What an awesome book! Zelda Fitzgerald is a fascinating series of contradictions. This book is a work of fiction but it feels so real based on the popular myths of Zelda & Scott. You feel for both of them through the whole book. At times you despise each of them yet, in the next instant, you root for them like it’s no one’s business. What an excellent, entertaining read.
  
I absolutely loved this book. I’m usually not a fan of period pieces as they tend to drag on and be boring but the way this book was written I was sucked in from the first page. The attention to detail and the way the author described each character really brought the book alive. This is a great coming of age/witchcraft novel and it’s part of a series that makes it even better!
