Once I put my other books aside and concentrated on this I found it a really easy read; the chapters are short and there is always something to keep you interested.

I really enjoyed it.

I think without that Epilogue, it could have been a stand alone story but because of it, I understand more about it being a trilogy. I believed that end bit! I was feeling quite happy and relieved for the Gladers. More fool me!

I have the second and third book but I'm not going to read them just yet, maybe when I get back off holiday

As excited as I was for an "Art of the movies" book(retroactively, maybe I should've read the synopsis more carefully.),this is NOT that book. However, it still hosts a treasure trove of knowledge once you accept that. It's still super fascinating to read all about the creation of an interconnected movie franchise, because rather you love or hate Marvel movies, there's just no denying that what they've accomplished is nothing short of magic.
  
A fun and whimsical collection of short stories featuring each of the Doctors and set at Christmas time. Of course, some of the stories by the various artists are better than others, but there was only one that I felt was not up to the same quality as the others (the second Doctor story) and yet it was still enjoyable. A great, read for the holidays. Full review coming at www.travelingthevortex.com

Gossip girl but in the Hamptons and the girl is the neice of the housekeeper.
I thought this would have more romance but mostly it is teenage angst, stuck up rich people, and two girls who become friends after some pretty weird stuff happens. It was a short read that was perfect for just having around but honestly I don't think I would pick it up ever again.

Short but sweet, naughty and nice, and sooooo funny, Tiffany Reisz has done it again. A brilliant read for an afternoon, and it's really easy to get along with that its as if you already know the characters.

Such a thoughtful wedding pressie from a character from another book ( sorry, i am not giving it away ;-))

I love the Bell hop, I think I might need more of him x

A real page turner! I've had this book for awhile and having read White Crow by Marcus Sedgwick and loving it, I decided to give Midwinterblood a go.

What am amazing book!! I finished it in less than 24 hours! It's like reading a bunch of short stories that are part of one big story.

I'd definitely recommend this book as it's definitely one of my now faves =)

I mean - for childhood nostalgia this book was alright.. seeing as I'm not a kid anymore it was not all that great lol

What more can I say about this - though it teaches a great life lesson as all the Sabrina shows did ... not much can happen in such a short amount of book ! Definitely reading it to the young one though - or letting her read it, she will love it

I won this book in a Kindle giveaway, and I'm mixed when it comes to this book. There are a bunch of beautiful and funny short poems in here, but then there are a few that are either repetitive or made me ask, "Why does this exist?" I'm still gonna keep this book, so I can share it with friends, but I'm probably not gonna read this over and over again.

A book of why I write by people who write
A book of short essays from poets writing about the art of poetry. Look out for Kathleen Jamie's essay on truth, very insightful. Some of the book was like a massive tongue twister whilst others where thought provoking. Worth a read if you want an insiders view.

This was a really nice short read. I really enjoyed it and cannot wait to get my hands on the rest of the series. I liked the character development of the female lead. It had some incredible twists and turns. And who doesn’t like forbidden love? I really couldn’t put this down and devoured it in one sitting. I won’t say too much so you can enjoy it for yourself
