This was an amazing First Reads Win to receive!!! Diane Chamberlain weaves a wonderful story that felt so alive with a twist of real history. There were so many times I was angry with Henry and hopeful for Tess. I would 100% recommend this book to anyone and everyone that cannot wait to sink their teeth into a great story.

Good start to a great series
The start to an excellent series if you can sink the time into the 14 books. As this is the first of 14 books it is a little slow to get going however Robert Jordan's writing style keeps me intrigued even when going through seemingly dry lore and setup.

This book had some holes in the plot but not enough to sink it. The characters made up for what was lacking and since this is a character driven story it worked. Brooke did a good job describing anxiety issues and that made Giselle seem more authentic. This gets four stars from me because despite the short fallings it was still a pleasure to read.

Very Basic luck based deduction
Not a very interesting game, you "hide your ships" and then take random shots marked on a axis based grid, and if you hit you hunt around that space until you sink the ship. it's a bit of a race to see who can outlast the other, but the only skill involved is in reading you opponent and guessing where he/she hides their ships. we can do better.

I really got into this, once we were at the palace and she'd bumped into Maxon that is. Team Maxon all the way after reading this. He's so nice and gentle with America's feelings and I'm so happy she'd going to give him a chance!

Really looking forward to reading The Elite, and hopefully with my birthday in 10 days I'll get the Amazon gift-card I've asked for and can sink into it!

Just finished devouring ep 2/S2 of 'True Blood'. Took me long enough to sink my fangs into it. (Pun fully intended).


Now off to bed for some not so light reading.
I am currently absorbed in 'The Handmaid's Tale' by Margaret Atwood. Powerful, disturbing, compelling and utterly heart wrenching.

I finished watching the tv series last week which is absolutely brilliant.
A must watch for those interested in dystopian and New World Order themes.
Definitely influened by George Orwell's classic 'Big Brother' totalitarian novel, '1984'.

This is a very short piece of creative writing. And when o first read it, mi initial thought was "eh?". Which is why I never review straight away. After having a few days to ponder it, I realise the depths of interpretation is has. What the messengers represent to the different characters and how these representations have a massive affect on their actions and thus leading to the final part of the story. It was beautifully written, but allow it sink in before you make a judgement!
