Lynn’s Review: I was pleasantly surprised by Brotherhood of the Blade. Granted, my expectations weren’t very high, but still, I enjoyed it. I was never a huge fan of Grey in the books. I never found him very interesting. When he “married” Claire at the end of Echo (or was it MOBY, I can’t […]
Lynn’s Review: I can wrap up my feelings about Etiquette & Espionage in one word: meh. The elements I’m interested in where there. But still, meh. I even stopped the audio during the big climatic fight scene at the end because I just didn’t care. Etiquette & Espionage is: steam punk historical has a plucky […]
Julie’s Review: Defects is a great dystopia full of action and betrayal and psychic abilities. I loved that this book doesn’t follow the trope of our heroine finding out she’s something special and taking a long time to accept her new existence. This story drops us into the Dream Traveler’s world, where everyone has special […]
Julie and I have decided that since loads of other bloggers have posted reviews of Winter, we’d take a different approach. We totally stole Bookworm Brandee’s Blogger Chick Chat idea, and went with a chat instead. Spoilers, obvs. And following our usual pattern, Julie’s chatting is in purple. My chatting is in blue. Excuse the […]
Lynn’s Review: I once watched an interview with an actor discussing character shipping. The basic gist of the interview was this: We (readers, or in this case, watchers of TV shows) don’t want couples to actually get together. What we want is the prospect of a couple getting together. The flirting. The foreplay. Once the […]
Julie’s Review: I’ve had Runes on my to-read for a while and was happy to receive the audio for review since that meant I would actually get to read it (since just about all of my reading is on audiobooks on my commute these days). I like Raine, she’s a bookworm and also a Supernatural […]
Julie’s Review: I started reading Chameleon shortly after finishing the first book, Ripple. I loved the Ripple audio, but at the time had the trilogy ebooks and decided to try reading an ebook again. My schedule just wasn’t working out, with only reading a chapter or two on weekends, so I was happy to get […]
Lynn’s Review: Warning: If you are planning a cruise, skip reading The Living til afterwards. Trust me on that. The Living by Matt de la Pena is about a collection of characters on a cruise ship, trying to survive after an earthquake sets off a massive tsunami right in the path of the […]
Julie’s Review: This is kind of a “smart” book, with all the scientific language and descriptions of the chemicals in the food, as well as body processes. The prologue is narrated in first-person, which is really effective as the speaker gets murdered in an attack and talks about the body shutting down. The plot […]
Julie’s Review: is an exciting, fast-paced and action-packed dystopian. That right there is enough, right? Oh, you mean you want more? Ok. The world in Numbers Game is very controlling. Each citizen is rated based on their “worth” to society. They are given a number and a color – green, yellow, and red (where green […]
