message 27962: by Aoibhínn (new)

Aoibhínn (aoibhinn) Earlier today, I finished reading The Witching Hour (Lives of the Mayfair Witches, #1) by Anne Rice by Anne Rice. The Witching Hour is an extremely long novel, 1207 pages, but don't let that put you off reading as once you open the first page you soon find yourself completely absorbed in the chilling tale of the Mayfair Witches. This novel has a spellbinding, engrossing, well-written tale with complex and mysterious characters. There are plenty of compelling twists and turns in the plot to keep you interested and the suspense is drawn out to perfection. The novel is completely unpredictable, I found the ending to be quite a shock! My full review can be found here.

Now, I'm about to start The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving by Washington Irving and Frankenstein (Penguin Classics) by Mary Shelley by Mary Shelley.

Robin Lamont | 20 comments Reading the Darkest Corner by Elizabeth Haynes (suspense)- interesting and only slightly distracting style: switching back and forth page to page from past to present. But so far great story! Good characters - well written. Enjoying it.

I read this book a few years ago but didn't realize it was the beginning of a series. I bought it on my Kindle to re-read it because it has been a while. The book is long that's why I bought for my Kindle but it didn't take me long to read it the first time around.

I finished that over the weekend myself. While I thought it started off a bit slow, and I had some difficulty keeping all the names straight during the first quarter or so, by the end I couldn't put it down.

If you like paranormal mystery type stories and haven't yet tried books by Alexandra Sokoloff you are really missing out. I highly recommend any of her works and I HAVE read them all.

message 27996: by Aoibhínn (new)

Aoibhínn (aoibhinn) Earlier I finished reading Frankenstein by Mary Shelley by Mary Shelley. This novel turned out to be nothing like what I was expecting. I was expecting a generic horror story about a monster but what I got was so much more complex, it's actually quite a philosophical story really. I was extremely surprised and impressed by the actual story itself. I really enjoyed this book and I'm happy I finally got around to reading this classic. My full review is here.

I'm planning to read Eleven on Top (Stephanie Plum, #11) by Janet Evanovich by Janet Evanovich next.


message 27997: by Aaron (new)

Aaron Thibeault (thebookreporter) | 76 comments Just finished reading George Church's new book called Regenesis: How Synthetic Biology Will Reinvent Nature and Ourselves. The book tracks the evolution of genomics and genetic engineering (now called synthetic biology), and explores current and upcoming developments and technologies in biotech from biomaterials to bioenergy to biomedicine. The book is invigorating and inspiring. I've written a full executive summary of the book at:
