Just finished Shelter - Tara Shuler. Wasn't a bad book, was interesting in parts for the style of book. Found quite a few spelling and grammar errors and sent an email to the author telling her. Now I am going to read Vigilante - Kerry Wilkinson.
Book: The Broken Gift"This is certainly an eye-opener of a book. For anyone who might be concerned, how can attempting to answer some of the major questions of the Bible be considered anti-Christian? This will give the reader quite a mental workout, and it is very much recommended. "

Currently reading And The Mountains Echoed by Khaled Housseni and Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. Not got far into Water for Elephants but I like it so far and And The Mountains is amazing. He tells different parts of the story from different points of view so there is some dipping into the past and greater understanding of events as you go through the story. Highly recommend all his works. Especially A Thousand Splendid Suns.
Just finished The Five Kisses, which was adorable & light. I'd recommend it for anyone who'd like a quick light romance that doesn't have sex. You'll read it in an hour or so, so it wouldn't take up any time. Trapped is on the table tomorrow. I cannot wait! I should have read it months ago. *sigh*

Change Your Perspective by J. Poet – Book ReviewBy Susan McMichael
4 out of 5 stars
Different perspectives, interesting times and reliance …
As a long time singer of Church music, both hymns and songs, and as a poet, I was looking forward to this book. Christian poetry’s framework and structures have changed over the past thirty years, in much the same way as secular poetry has: using much more free verse. Following in this heritage this is a book of free verse. I appreciated Change your Perspective's hopeful tone of getting the reader to enjoy their life, to see how God and Christ could make a difference to people's lives. In the poetry in Change Your Perspective: A Collection Of Inspirational Poetry, the reader is asked to take a journey from the physical reality of imperfection to the spiritual view of change for the better through Christ. Despite this emphasis on the spiritual this is not a book of ‘grandiose’ events, but rather of the very ordinary. Following along these lines Poet uses the common, vernacular speech to bring God into these poems: “When your chips are down... you say you want / To be married / You say this will / Make your life / Whole” (Ladies – Give God A Chance).
The book is a series of small recipes for getting your life back together, for changing your ideas. It is divided into three main sections: Broken, The Almighty God and Emerge. It delves into the everyday, including those feelings and actions that we like to deny.

So i finished the books that i responded with earlier and now I am on to Fifty Shades of Grey and Twilight of a Queen... Only reading fifty shades because i'm going to see a play that is a parody of it and i figured i would at least read it so i would understand the jokes :). Other wise Twilight of a Queen is in true Susan Carroll fashion and is very good so far.
Just finished the second book of Lux series and Enders Game. Currently reading Steven King's 11.22.66
Finished Crown of Midnight
and it was so so good! I loved it and now it's going to be torture having to wait for the next book!Im currently reading Divergent
Ive read so many good reviews that I really couldn't resist anymore. So far so good. I like the story line and the idea of the factions. I havent been able to put it down!
Just finished The Cuckoo's calling which was awesome now trying to get into Shatter Me - alas it's not really my cup of tea.
Currently reading A Simple Winter by Rosalind Lauer; I need to get back to it soon. I would recommend The Other Boleyn Girl and The Red Queen by Phillipa Gregory especially if you can get them on audio. Otherwise, they are over 600 pages each and would take forever to read.
I finished Divergent
and I really enjoyed it! I cant wait to read Insurgent
& I have very high hopes for the Divergent movie coming out!!!And since my brain is burned out on YA & all things fantasy Im taking a break from it all so Im now currently reading Vision in White
I am currently reading"The Broken Gift"
The book answers the question
How did we get here?
Did Eve really exist and was she the first Woman?

I recently finished Popping the Cherry by Aurelia B. Rowl. It was a very fun YA/NA :)https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Chrystal I love Fifty Shades of Grey at first I didn't want to read it cause that's all I heard everyone talking about but I finally gave in and it turned out to be one of my favorite series!Tia I have read quite a few Jennifer L. Armentrout/J. Lynn books I haven't read one I don't like so far.
I'm currently re-reading My Wolf's Bane by Veronica Blade. The second one is coming out in January so I'm refreshing my mind (:
oh yeah i finished Pure and Deity and I'm almost done with Apollyon. I've also read her Lux series and fell in love with it. Right now Jennifer is my favorite author. Although it could change :)
Have you read her Arum one Obsession? It's also really good. It kinds takes place in between her third and fourth books in the Lux series.
Currently reading the Husband's Secret and Deadly Games by Lindsay Buroker. Also still reading Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen!
Just read Shatter Me, Destroy Me and Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi and I am still in a daze. These books sucked the spirit out of me that I feel weak and disorientated
The Lost Father Chronicles young-adult fantasy books series IMAGES at Goodreads - https://www.goodreads.com/photo/group...
I am currently reading Austenland by Shannon Hale and Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. I recommend that everyone should read Circle of Secrets by Kimberly Little [you can just search it, I can not put up links with my kindle].
Just finished up
(loved),
(really liked) &
(a little disappointed because I LOVED the first one). Now I need to decide if I want to read
or one of the others I my list.
You should really read House of Hades, I have heard that it is fantastic from some of my friends. I read the other books in the series and they were all brilliant, I bet that that one would be fantastic as well.
The Only Way Out by Don De Lene – Book ReviewProblems, problems, problems… Solutions?
Hannah Lane, the seven year old girl we remember from The Power, The Miracle and The Dream, is now 22 years old and a “Pulitzer Prize winning photographer and renowned peace activist” (Ch. 1). She is with a National Geographic team that has just landed on Mars, and has become officially the first woman to set foot on the planet. Hannah has come a very long way since her loosing childhood days as an asthmatic, but how exactly did she get here? Was it really the secret of “the power within … [her] … mind” (Ch. 12) that brought her to these heights?
The Only Way Out: Forgiveness - The Path To Peace & Happiness takes us deeper into the spiritual philosophy set out in De Lene’s earlier book, concentrating on our desire to hurt others, and the solution of reconciliation through absolution. We can never really be at peace unless we are willing to forgive wrong. In this book De Lene digs deeper into a metaphysical view of the world, particularly the idea of God, however, the philosophy presented is not at all ‘orthodox’ religion. De Lene instead derives his inspiration from the non-fiction book A Course In Miracles (Helen Schucman, Foundation for Inner Peace:__ 3rd ed.:__ 2007). De Lene’s book is an unusual blend of novel and teaching manual, and is a very enjoyable and easy way of looking deeper into philosophy.

I've had a 5hr bath and finished Vigilante - Kerry Wilkinson. Had some spelling/grammar mistakes, but all in all a very good thriller. I kinda guessed near the end who was doing it and will be carrying on reading the rest of the series. Now I think I will go back to reading Halfhead - Stuart MacBride.
I'm still reading
. I'm in school now. So, I don't have as much time to read as I used to. However, I hope I can finish it soon.
I've finally given up on Halfhead - Stuart MacBride"I am sorry to say that I have given this as much energy and time as I can, but I still can't get into the storyline. I have no idea the characters are like the way they are. Not sure where the story is going with a prolific serial killer not doing much as it is and why the police officer is just sat in a pub moaning.
Oh well, I do love Stuart MacBride's books. But I really couldn't get my head and teeth into this Sci-fi style book".
I have just started reading
- Marina Anderson. Based on the authors who wrote 50 Shades and Bared To You books. I am reviewing these for Netgalley.
I would recommend City of Bones it's a great book, slow points in the middle but the beginning and end are really good!
I've finished book 1 Desire in The Dining Club series and now on to book 2 Bound by Marina Anderson.
Currently reading Deadly Games by Lindsay Buroker. Has me sitting literally on the edge of my seat with suspense. Also reading Daughter of Smoke & Bone. Quite quirky and drew me in very quickly. I love Karou already.
I just finished reading The House of hades, and let me tell you, it may well be the best book I have ever read, and I've read a bunch of books.
