I totally understand why others may not like this book. However, it’s kind of perfect for me. Which is hardly surprising, as I enjoyed both ‘The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue’ and ‘This is How You Lose the Time War’ - which is who ‘Our Infinite Fates’ ...more |

This is a strange one to review, because I genuinely felt a bit all over the place with it. I loved the opening chapters and the cyclical nature of the curse, I loved the setting and the initial character/romance set up - overall I really liked the co ...more |

I tried. I really did. I got 50 pages in and had to give up. My first DNF of the year. And as such I don’t think it’s fair for me to give it a star rating. This has a great concept, fun and quirky with a great setting. But the prose felt very clunky t ...more |

“Jane, be still; don't struggle so like a wild, frantic bird, that is rending its own plumage in its desperation."
"I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being, with an independent will; which I now exert to leave you.”
― Jane Eyre

“So what were you [Sonea] and Dorrien discussing before?' Akkarin asked.
She turned to regard him. 'Discussing?'
'Outside the farmhouse when I was buying the food.'
'Oh. Then. Nothing.'
He smiled and nodded. 'Nothing. Amazing subject, that one. Produces such fascinating reactions in people.”
― The High Lord

“You think I'm a fool?" demanded Harry.
"No, I think you're like James," said Lupin, "who would have regarded it as the height of dishonor to mistrust his friends.”

“You can tell whether some misogynistic societal pressure is being exerted on women by calmly enquiring, ‘And are the men doing this, as well?’ If they aren’t, chances are you’re dealing with what we strident feminists refer to as ‘some total fucking bullshit’.”

Thank you for your friend request Rachel! Hope you're doing well and totally agree with your review of Shine stating that Jason Lee is unnecessary. :)
Check out my video review of 'The Night Circus' by Erin Morgenstern >> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2gxy...
Do you know what "A Game of Thrones" isn't?A good lesson in genetics.
I have a goal. A daunting, daunting goal.Finish re-reading the last three Harry Potter books by the end of the week.
Then read The Book Thief.
THEN re-re Daughter of Smoke & Bone AND Days of & Starlight.
Then, collect my copy of Dreams of Gods and Monsters...sit down, relax, have a cuppa with some malteasers and read.
Saw the midnight showing of Catching Fire this morning, amazing film! So faithful to the book!
It really grates me when a book is released with it's movie-counterpart's image on the front. I like book covers to be actual BOOK covers. Not another means of advertising Hollywood.
So I realized that my wonderfully large bookcase only holds a certain genre of books of the fantasy inclination. New goal, read some of the different genre!
On a Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows buzz...apologies if I attack all the HP discussions. I'm on a roll people!
