Just completed my selection for #10 Family Member - Golden Son by Pierce Brown. I really enjoyed 3/4 of this book. The pacing was good, the plot kept me guessing, and the twists are worthy of Game of Thrones. The negatives are that it took about 100 pages for the book to get going. It also irritated me that the author occasionally referred to the fictional gap between books without explaining what happened in that gap. Overall, though, really good sequel! 4 stars

[Voracious_reader]

I have a vague recollection of this question having been asked and answered already--please forgive me for asking it again: can we count heaven as a place, e.g., The Heaven of Animals by Nancy Tillman?

[Winter, Group Reads]

Great question! I have a book named Almost Heaven that has been on my reading list for a looong time, so it would be interesting to know. Might pick another anyway though :P

Just completed my selection for #24 Paranormal Being - The Titan's Curse by Rick Riordan. Another good book in the series! I'm glad the characters are developing a bit more. I am curious when in the series the author decided on the 2nd series with Roman Olympians, because it appears there are some inconsistencies right now. Overall good book. 3.5 stars

Ladies,
Would it be okay to use the 'bee' part of the compound word 'beekeeper' as my animal/insect selection?? I already have an occupation titled novel on my list.
