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.

Okay so finished
awesome series. Loved it! Then read.
FANTASTIC! Loved it as much as the first book. Kresley Cole is brilliant. Then read
and it was good. Then moved onto
great finish for this really good trilogy. Now reading and thoroughly enjoying
. Also starting
.
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'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've finished book 1 Desire in The Dining Club series and now on to book 2 Bound by Marina Anderson.
Just finished The Infernal Devices by Cassandra ClareAnd now I've turned to The Dovekeepersby Alice Hoffman. I think it's the first non-TA novel I've read in quite a while.

The Throne of Glass was OK for me Satinder BUT the Crown of Midnight is awesome!
American Crow by Jack Lacey – Book ReviewReviewed by Susan McMichael
5 out of 5 stars
Move over Rebus, here comes Blake…
Detective fiction is a little like drinking wine: there is a lot around and everyone has their favourite. When something new comes on the market, the drinker or the reader, looks longingly to their favourite brand or book and says, "I hope the new one is like the old one..." It's not an exact science of course: there is a chemistry to it. The reader can like a new detective story, and then the reader can love a new detective story.
I am a fan of detective stories. I began with Agatha Christie back when I was eleven. I read Sherlock Holmes and moved onto the feminist detectives in the early eighties. It's a little hard to define what I like: sometimes I think that reading anything is really a love story and so is undefinable, but....
I picked up American Crow by Jack Lacey and was hooked. I love American Crow. The character of Sibelius Blake is strongly written and interesting. Blake’s back story comes out through the novel. The plot ending ties beautifully with the beginning: it is very well structured.

Hey Tracey, I notice Crown of Midnight has more positive reviews...but I dont think I can stomach more Calaena! Although I do wanna find out more about Erilea
I'm currently reading The Fault in Our Stars, by John Green, and so far is just amazing (as expected from John)

Bloodfire and Cold Blooded were so awesome. Republic of Thieves was good too, but not as great as I was expecting it to be.
I'm currently reading
.I've been hearing so much about this one, but I'm finding it difficult to read this, somehow.

Well, it not really bad... Just that, I had high expectations on that one.. But, somehow, It seems to be kind of difficult to keep my attention to it... But maybe, that's just me.
Also, I'm just one-fourth into it...Let's hope it gets better..:)

it was okay, 3 star read. Read
really good. Need to read the third and last book to this trilogy! Finished
and it was really good, 4 star read and looking forward to the rest of this series. Then I read
and it was very very good. Things are starting to buildup with this series and I'm super excited about getting to the next 2 books! Then I read
and it was FANTASTIC! As everything and anything Colleen Hoover writes, hands down! the woman is BRILLIANT! Then I read
and it BLEW ME AWAY! Gah, I LOVE Elizabeth Hunter's writing and imagination and this one was just WOW! Book 2 cannot come soon enough for me. Also finished
and enjoyed this book so much. Hot, interesting, great H/h MCs, great secondary characters, hilarious, action packed, just an all around great read. Will definitely be reading the rest of this series. Then moved onto
and let me say that this was my reading surprise. This had so many low ratings, but I truly enjoyed it and will be reading book 2 for sure. Now I'm reading
and
and enjoying both. Up next for me, but not sure in what order
but know that on Tuesday I will most definitely be reading
because HELLO! That's a MUST for me :)
