Great for tracking books (0 more)
Although I hear many people talking great things about Goodreads, I feel there isn't as much to offer as much as others suggest. I have Goodreads and I have been using it for nearly three years now but the only thing I use it for is tracking what books I read in the year. You can create a reading challenge where you set yourself a target of how many books you want to read in the year and Goodreads will track it and let you know whether you are in schedule or not.

As useful as that is, I can't say I use Goodreads for much else. I have a few friends on there who recommended it to me in the first place and a few Facebook friends. But that's it. No one really adds me and I don't really know how to find other people.


There a supposedly groups that you can join but my app will not let me do it. I have tried reinstalling the app and contacting Goodreads about the issue but they never got back to me.


It is also different on the internet as it is in the app so it would be wise getting the app if you want the full benefit off Goodreads.

I am having a difficult time writing a review for Rise of the Hearts by Antoine Bonner. The premise of this book is not new but the summary was worded well enough that I was looking forward to reading it. The cover caught my eye and made me want to read it even more.

Unfortunately, it was a challenge to finish it.

I did not relate to or care about any of the characters. The story did not flow well. I had trouble following the story and was confused about what was going on. I reread sections to see if I could figure out the story. I was never able to follow the plot.

This is NOT a young adult (YA) book. Based on the description, I had mistakenly thought it was appropriate for younger readers. It is not and it is marketed as an adult book. There are several passages that are not appropriate for young adults.

The book was only 198 pages. I was not very far in when I was considering stopping. I continued and struggled through the entire book. On the last few pages I allowed myself to just skim it because I was so lost.

There's a lot of ice....
Firstly, I have to admit that this would not have been my first choice of reading material. You see, I'm doing my local library's reading challenge at the moment, and I picked this book up for the 'not my bag' element. I really thought that it wouldn't be 'my bag' at all - but I was pleasantly surprised. I liked the interactions with the sailors, and the little history lessons were really interesting. There was a lot of description though. In a 220 page book, you would think that there would be only so many ways to describe ice: what it looks like, what it sounds like, what it smells like, how it breaks up, how it doesn't break up. You name it, he described it. I have to admit to skim reading a fair bit of this. There's only so much one person can take.
Would I recommend it? I don't know. I don't think I know anyone who is that into ice, to be honest.
I do have a confession to make, though. I'm going to Finland in the summer for a long weekend, so I might just try and check out some of this history for myself!
