I'm not sure about sinking but noun or verb is not specified.

Review
This book is based around 2 MC's Aurora (Rory) and Houston.
They were together for a long time, then something awful happened and they split up, Rory hasn't been able to get over Houston even after 5 years.
Houston and Rory haven't seen each other for 5 years but they are all of a sudden put together in a work situation, queue the usual angst and worry.
The book jumps back and forth between present and past and it is not until the very end that we find out exactly why they split up.
I enjoyed the book and will definitely be reading the next book in the series

Book: Beautiful Broken Mess by Kimberly Lauren
Finished: April 28, 2015
Rating: 4*
(He walked to the sink to wash his hands. Pg. 58)
Review:I adore those Riley boys!! I usually like my bad boys best and I didn't think it could be better than Jacob, but Jace ended up being equally amazing. I hated, and I mean HATED Audrey in Beautiful Broken Rules but I found she was a much greater person than we were led to believe. She was "broken". I loved all the original characters still being a part of this book. Lane, Audreys secretive bff, was so lovable. I'm glad he's getting his story in book #3.

Review: Well I was hoping this would be a suspense thriller from the description but it really wasn't. Orla is a programmer at a trading firm with really questionable business practices that make it nearly impossible for anyone to succeed at their job. Poor Orla is subjected to a lot of abuse and misery and it's no fun at all to read. There's an ongoing mystery as to who is her secret lover she refers to as Columbus but it irritated me more than intrigued me. When the big reveal came in the final pages I had long stopped caring.

Review: Sherlock is an excentric, and Benedict Cumberbatch obviously isn't exaggerating in his role. I admire Watson, because I don't know how he can put up with him, he's is probably the most patient character in all history of literature. The only story that I found really awesome was 'The final problem', because Sherlock finally finds his pair in Moriarty and it's no wonder that this story made into almost every movie or tv adaptation.
Sorry for the delay - again. (Shame on me...) 30 April is kinda a huge party occasion over here and I unexpectedly ended up going out, crawling back home at 3 and only got out of bed some time around noon today. XD

Revelation by C.J. Sansom (Matthew Shardlake #4)
Finished: 01 May 2015
Rating: *****
Review:
Content to stay away from politics and the powerful, lawyer Matthew Shardlake is working on the case of a mad teenage boy when the disturbing murder of one of his oldest friends draws him back into the service of Archbishop Cranmer. The murder, it turns out, is part of a series, all with a horrifying religious connotation and promising more victims to come.
Another excellent historical mystery, gripping and nearly impossible to put down from start to finish.

Review: i loved this book. it was hella good. i started it on the plane and kinda wished the trip took longer. i love the two POVs and the different worlds. Lila is the best, her sass is so on point. definitely a favorite of my 2015 reads (:

I haven't started my book for yesterday's SSS roll yet and it's a #5, so I'll just use that one here too. :) Reading
.


I don't either! This is by far the hardest week for me. (Maybe you shouldn't have re-rolled. Haha)
It seems everything I think of is book 4 or 6. And I'm just not interested in reading Anna and the French Kiss...no matter how many people love it. :)

Blood Lance by Jeri Westerson (Crispin Guest #5)
Finished: 02 May 2015
Rating: ****
Review:
In the fifth book of this excellent historical mystery series, Crispin begins an investigation into the murder of an armorer during the course of which he runs into an old friend in need of his help and finds himself embroiled in the search for yet another powerful religious relic. Numerous other parties on the hunt for the same item complicate his task - including another old friend, Geoffrey Chaucer whom Crispin had only recently encountered again for the first time after losing his station. A great read as always - looking forward to Crispin and Jack's next adventure.

So I'm going to have to go with Anna and the french kiss as I have nothing else that fits the bill !

Review: I knew going into this book, it probably won't be nothing major going on. A lot of shit went down in the last book, so i knew this book should just be building up stuff. Sara is doing a great job of getting the flow just right. Each book lines up with the last nicely! I'm excited to see where this series is gonna go now since they uncovered A in the last book. I keep trying to guess who i think it is now :D

Book: Goddess of Love by P.C. Cast
Finished: May 3,2015
Rating: 5*
Review: I am so happy to get to re-read The Goddess Summoning books again. They are some of my favorite books. I've always had a fascination with the Goddess of Love... maybe most girls do. I love how Venus is bored with life on Olympus and wants to help a mortal woman by giving her a makeover and helping her find love. While she does this, she discovers even more than she expected about herself.
I LOVE the ancient world and the modern world being combined. It makes for a great story. One that I know I'll re-read for a third time in a few more years.

A little boy Shasta and a Narnian horse Bree try to escape Calormene but end up in a far bigger adventure. This is actualy the first time a character from Narnia is having the leading role There were some pretty awesome quotes and some amazing scenes that would look epic on the screen. It made me feel sorry that the Narnia movie adaptations didn't continue because this book has everything you need for an amazing film.

Review: Kat and her ragtag gang were fun, but I wish they were a bit more believable as thieves. It came across as kids playing a game rather than feeling like anything was a real threat. I didn't think the big bad guy felt that dangerous. And there weren't a lot of setbacks to their plan, so it all felt too easy. Overall I really liked it. There were some fun twists at the end that made things interesting. I like the set up of a deeper mystery as well. I'll continue on with the series.

Over the weekend I read #4, #5 & #6 and jumped straight into #7, I just can't seem to get enough of Dex & Perry!!
After the mahoosive cliffhanger of #4 I had to find out what happened to poor Perry after that breakup, my heart broke for her throughout this book.
The poor girl had declared her undying love for Dex and basically had it thrown back in her face, oh yeah then she had to deal with the douchecanoe (her words) that was Maximus!! I mean what else could go wrong..................oh yeah, she gets possessed !!
Can't wait to get stuck into #7 especially as it is written from Dex's POV........Squeeeeeeeee ! !!

Go in this order




Will get onto Old Blood now as I'm curious about the clown lady!
I was a bit mehhh with them up to #4 and then I was like WHAT!!!!???? haha
