Charlotte (184 KP) rated Hell Raising and Other Pastimes (Grave Concerns #2) in Books
Jul 2, 2021
Just as Ava was pulled into Hell, I was pulled into another gripping installment of the Grave Concerns series.
Ava is special, not just because of what she is (you'll find that out soon enough!!) but for how she manages to cope and adapt to different situations. She may have a wobble but she's a fighter....as she shows in the last chapter. There's a vulnerability to her that is endearing yet slightly heartbreaking.
As with the first book there are some pretty dark, horrific events......and sex, of course! I may be getting a tad jealous of Ava having four hot, talented guys to play with and rely upon ha ha.
This is most definitely an adult book, that I struggled to put down! Read with chocolate or your favourite sweets and a tall glass of something cool as you're about to step into the hot as hell world of Lucifer!

It was right up my street and I was hooked from the very first chapter.
I liked how she stood up to him after she came home from that year abroad. He so wasn't expecting it and I thought it was funny. Then as the story progressed you understood her feelings and how and why she still had feelings for him as the boy she used to be best friends with. Then she does a monologue and everything gets thrown in the air and from his reaction to it, I was so intrigued!
I don't want to give too much away but I LOVED IT!

The Born Again Runner by Pete Magill is about motivating people to get out there and run. The book is simple, has a clear structure. It has three sections which are before, during, and after the process of becoming a runner, each with four chapters. Each chapter begins with an introduction and ends with a summary to reinforce the lesson. My favorite part of each chapter is the "becoming a runner" profile, which is a story of a man or woman who one day decided to start running. Some are now record holders, some are ordinary people who like to run. They are all inspirational.
I like the persistent focus on starting easy and slow, which is something a lot of beginners do not realize or simply forget. The biggest mistake for any runner is in the actual training itself. In the book Magill talks about how in the beginning programs people should spend the first three weeks walking. I think this makes sense for those who are "couch potatoes" and are just getting out and being active. This; however, will be extremely frustrating to active people who want to start running. The training schedules focuses on time rather than mileage. This makes sense for those who are beginning. I like that he recommends strides and hill sprints for speed workouts.
The sections on "mythbusting" and on running and racing etiquette are nothing an experienced runner does not know, but useful for the real beginner. The section on "mistakes" is something even experienced runners could use a reminder on, and the injury prevention exercises would be useful to all runners.
I received this book from The Experiment via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
