NEW TUMBLR FOR 2010!!
There isn’t anything posted yet, but I am working on a list of books for the new year.
Unless I speed through another book this week, I am sitting at 64 books for 2009. That’s almost 5 books a month!
Brave Dames and Wimpettes: What Women Are Really Doing on Page and Screen, Susan Isaacs
3/5
White Oleander, Janet Fitch
5/5
Night World Volume 1 (Secret Vampire, Daughters of Darkness, & Spellbinder), L.J. Smith
5/5
Yes. I just bought 3 original copies of these books from Night World. Shut it.
I hate the giant volume editions. They’re so hard to handle.
Evermore (The Immortals #1), Alyson Noel
.5/5
The plot is almost exactly the same as the third book Soulmate in Night World #2. But Soulmate is much better. Read that instead. It also has some weird names in it. Ever, Miles, Haven, Drina, Damen. It felt like the author was trying to make up for an unoriginal plot-line by giving all the characters weird names.
Night World #2 (Dark Angel, The Chosen & Soulmate), L.J. Smith
4.5/5
“Intrigued by Twilight’s otherworldly teen romance but creeped out by its adherence to outdated gender roles? Try L.J. Smith’s Night World series instead. Written years before Edward watched Bella sleep, but only recently reprinted, the nine books of the series feature strong female protagonists who discover unlikely - and often supernatural - soulmates. Smith’s heroines often save their forbidden loves and, i later books, play pivotal roles in fighting to save the world. Best of all, Smith’s mythology is threaded with deeply feminist elements that challenge our own culture’s Judeo-Christian beliefs: Her powerful witches are a Matriarchal society, Goddess-worshippers who trace their ancestry to the witch, Hellewise, who died so they could be free.” Brian Pietras, “The Bitch List”, Bust Magazine, Fall 2009
The City of Glass (The Mortal Instruments #3), Cassandra Clare
3.5/5
(I dislike when I can see the resolution before I really should. Halfway through, actually, probably not even that far, I knew the way the author would resolve the 2 major plot points. Maybe I just think too much while I am reading, but it was too easy.)
