Thanks me too! i read the first chapter or so, and liked what i saw. but i have some library books i need to read before i there due. not so bad - if there crappy means i have a good book to look forward to afterwards! lol.


♥ Ashleigh ♥  Contrary to popular belief I'm not actually mad! (cheshire_red) | 121 comments Finshed Mortal Danger (Immortal Game, #1) by Ann Aguirre and The Army of the Undead (The Witch Hunter Chronicles, #2) by Stuart Daly both very entertaining YA reads.
Mortal danger had lots of drama, magic, talked about suicide, had a brooding but very sweet love interest and there's talk about a time travel machine in the future....whats not to enjoy?
The Army of the Undead was really fun, we followed german witch hunters from the 1600's during the holy roman empire. there was lots of sword fights! zombies! homicidal fallen angels! tomb full of traps! and the boat from noah's ark.... it was ridiculously fun.

Now reading Time Salvager (Time Salvager #1) by Wesley Chu how wonderful is that cover? I was actually on the way out of the library after picking up The Good Women of China Hidden Voices by Xinran when i saw this (it's one of those fast back books so i can only loan it for 7 days max) so yea i went back and hired it out as well!! here's hoping its good! the back sounded very interesting.

♥ Ashleigh ♥  Contrary to popular belief I'm not actually mad! (cheshire_red) | 121 comments finished Time Salvager (Time Salvager #1) by Wesley Chu what felt like forever ago, was quite good, it had some issues but i loved the main character... he was odd.
also finished Huntress by Malinda Lo which unfortunately wasnt so great, quite disappointed in the 2 dimensional aspect of the book, if that makes sense - it didnt pop for me, it didnt seem real, nor could i sink into it.
and i just finished Fire Storm (Young Sherlock Holmes, #4) by Andy Lane which was awesome.. should def read the first one and work from there.

I don't know about that. I just remember there was a damn lot of babies being born in that super small town, but I liked the romance, and the male MC if I remember correctly. I read it back in February. I should get back to it soon.

♥ Ashleigh ♥  Contrary to popular belief I'm not actually mad! (cheshire_red) | 121 comments read The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro not sure what i was expecting, but this wasnt it. have to be honest I'm a little disappointed with the outcome. almost zero of my questions were answered, and the ending was the WTF.
Doubt I'll be reading any other works by this author. shame.

Thats happened to me before, thankfully its rare, but its
so dispointing when it happens and like you it puts me off
reading anything else by them. Still its a heads up for me
and I will avoid this book. At least he attempted the ending.

I finished a three book series last year onley to discover
that the writer had forgotten to write the ending and it just
stopped mid story. A lot of disapointed readers like me posting
on her website asking what happened next ?

I've come across one or two other series like that before - personally i find it really annoying. One author replied the reason she left some answers unresolved is because no matter what she does some ready will complain, this way they could use their own imaginations to come up with their own desired ending..... i was like, but i dont want to make up my own - thats why im readying your book and not one i have written (last being when i was about 10, haha) personally i think its the lazy way out but it seems to be some writers thing... i just tend to avoid those types of writers.
Still I'm glad what i said helped you - its not often i think the book isnt worth the time it takes to read, might as well as just read spoiler reviews and find out what happens.
ahh oh well.
