Back to back book reviews

I told you I was a speed reader. I flew through Hunger games in one day and wish I could have slowed down but I had to finish it.


Since I was already reading Into the Fire before Fall Reading started I finished it up quickly so I could delve into the others. If you are a Suzanne Brockmann fan then this book will not disappoint you. I have been following her since 1996 when she came out with her Tall, Dark, and Dangerous series about Navy Seals. Oh, man these are good books. But you can't just pick up this book and start in on it because there are so many back stories here. Get the rest of this series on Ebay or whatever you have to do to catch up. It is def worth it. They go way beyond your normal romance novels. She stays with the same group of characters so you don't have to say goodbye to them after you finish the book up. And since I didn't cry reading this, it gets 0 on the kleenex scale.


OK, I was super excited about getting into this book. Stephanie Myers recommended it. I have read and loved this author's Overlander series. This book was depressing. No ifs ands or buts about it. When you start reading you wonder how it can possibly end well. And then you know it can't. It is a well written story. I just didn't like the story. Near the end she throws this weird series of events that is so far in left field that it just seemed too much. This will be a trilogy and I will probably read it but I don't reccomend it. It will leave pictures in your mind. It has occupied my thoughts since I finished it. Go here if you want to have a full run down of the plot. I cried one time so I give it 1 kleenex.






Next up is this one





Hopefully I will take more than a few days to read it or I will have to add a whole lot to my list :-)

ok, seriously. Abby, Livie and Z = no sleep. What're you doing books on audio (lol). I have my first review coming up tonight also. Sometime. And I just started the Twilight Series today, so I am tre excited.
Now, go take a nap or something.
