A rollicking urban-fantasy/sci-fantasy with contrastingly bleak stakes and overt RPG underpinnings. Aliens have come calling, and in one fell swoop of hand-wavy advanced technology, they repo the resources that make up Earth's infrastructure... with m ...more |

A Russian classic and a classic example of a novella format. Ivan Ilych is the sort of vapid, unremarkable man who presents as completely believable from the get-go. Perhaps we know someone he reminds us of. (Or perhaps we feel quietly grateful he doe ...more |

"When I was in fifth grade, I won a county poetry contest for a poem I wrote, prosaically titled "Trees." The poem had a taut, A-A-B-B rhyming pattern, mined precocious adjectives from a thesaurus, and concluded with the cringeworthy line, "People and"

2.5 Stars Perhaps not the best place for me to start with Ann Patchett, but I was kind of a sucker for the striking cover. :P This book is essentially the long, vaguely sad, anticlimactic life story of two siblings, and their fixation on the unusual h ...more |

“I didn't just love him…I needed him. Not in some desperate "you complete me" sort of way. No, Vincent didn’t make me whole. He improved me. Something about him—something I didn't understand—had a way of amplifying the good in my nature while muting the bad. He was a catalyst for my soul. I didn't need him in order to exist...I needed him in order to be a better me.”

I've been rocking it a few years now, but I just recently updated the author photo. Makes it a little easier to spot me in a crowd. ;P
I love your new hair! Or not-so-new, as it may be, but new to me since I just saw it while glancing at my GR feed :).
Thank you for sending the friendvite, Angela! You would have had to wait one for a good day or so, but I'm glad you didn't ;)

Thanks for accepting the invite, Chryssa! :)
I always like to consider the opinions of people who share such similar tastes in books. ^_^ Thank you in advance for taking part in helping me decide what I should read next. ;) I hope my reviews might be of some use to you as well.
Thanks for the friend invite Angela~!Looking forward to sharing opinions on books! :o)
Good point. :)I'm actually not surprised on the difference of opinion in the HG series. I thought the second one was VERY similar to the first, and I know many people who found that disappointing and non-progressive. And with the last book being more centered on the war than on the characters, I think the high-action/stratagem of it appealed more to males, generally speaking. (My theory, anyway.)
But yes, anyways...enjoy your weekend! ^_^
Well there are like 4 billion books so even having a handful in common is pretty hard to do. Even funnier we were opposite of thinking which hunger games sequal was not so good. Any hoozal-have a good memorial weekend!
Thank YOU for the invite, B.P. ^_^ I'm pleased to meet you. And I hope my ratings/reviews might be helpful to you in prioritizing your to-read list. We seem to have fairly similar tastes in the books we've both read--not an easy thing to come by, in my experience.
Thanks for accepting the invite you have a super diverse book list looking forward to checking out your reviews :)
