amazing
The imagery was beautiful and amazing... the characters were sweet and wonderful.. and some really hott and sexy scenes were in this as well. If you enjoy a good, fast moving and sweet story I highly recommend this one. The ending had a twist that had my head spinning and amazed me.. This story is wonderful and I will be looking forward to more.

Very excited to get an advance copy of @The Way of All Flesh from NetGalley, a 19th century dark Edinburgh murder thriller by @Ambrose Parry (secretly @Chris Brookmyre and his wife). Moving straight on to that tonight, even though it is worryingly close to the idea for a book that I've had in my head for 2 years now.

Third entry in Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series, and maybe I was beginning to burn out as I had read the first three books back-to-back in the course of about a week, but I found this one to be slower moving, more graphic and heavier going than either of the two previous novels.

Of the first three books, this is by far the weakest.

I got a chance to read the follow up to THE KITE RUNNER which doesn't actually come out until the second half of May. It's a character study of two women over the course of 40 years of Afghanistan history. Very moving and powerful book.

A producer has come to town with sites set on making a movie based on local history. But Lee thinks something isn't right and starts to investigate. She's hardly started when she finds a dead body. Another fast moving mystery with characters I love to visit.

The idea of moving the Arts Festival downtown stirs up trouble, including arson and murder. Can Abby get her feet under her running a new business and solve the crime? I liked the characters and setting, but the plot was a little rough.

While it is excellent work, this is not really an entertainment read. Ward lays out so much in story far more powerfully than any essay on American race relations, trauma, privilege, and rural southern life ever could. It was chilling, moving, eyeopening for me. I definitely want to read Ward's other books.

The audiobook is very well done as well, read by a talented cast.

This show just gets better and better. Each character is now so well established that every scene moves along perfectly, with each adding their own points and jokes but the storyline moving along.
There is more of an underlying story here than in previous series but this in no way gets in the way of the show being as silly and irreverent as normal.

The first book in Rachel Caine's Weather Warden series, this is probably best described as the novel equivalent of a road-movie, starting (as it does) with it's protaganist already on the run, and following her journey.

The book is pretty fast moving, with the reasons for Joanne Baldwin being on the run gradually revealed throughout. Think I will be reading some more of these!
