Michelle, the Bookshelf Stalker > Recent Status Updates

elevator- yes, two crazy exe's- no, perv boss- hell no, piano- oh hell yes, where is this story going? hmmmmm

I cried in my car on my way to my daughter's water polo match. What these men, hell they aren't men, they are only 18, 19 years old, what these boys had to endure was so horrible that it made me cry.

I kinda started reading it before I even left the post office, at 10 pm at night, with the lights dimmed in the Post office lobby. I'm just standing there trying to read just-one-more-page.

I didn't realize this book was shorter than the first. I'm almost done.

Simpson is such a horrible man. I know there were men out there like him. Men that sat on their cushy chairs, drinking and eating, while they played with men's lives out in the jungle as if they were nothing but chess pieces to control. They are starving, their skin is rotting, they can barely stand and he is yelling for them to make an impossible deadline!

I like this one sooo much better than book 1. Not sure why.

Oh no... crazy ex. Oh yes... Ben & Jerry + 50 = hot.

I like this book so much that I ordered a hardcopy of it just for my keeper shelf.

OMG...Williams..tiger. WTF, you are in Vietnam, expecting to die via grenade or mine or maybe a gun/rifle or even an aircraft weapon. You don't expect a goddamn tiger to crunch your head until everyone around you hears it go "pop"!

Mathias is the only fantasy writer where I can tolerate all the fantasy stuff (usually not a straight fantasy fan) like the dragons & the silly named characters. He just writes such a good story.

Ok... so I'm liking it. Don't beg, make him beg for you!

War is so fucked up (excuse my language but really, is there any better word for it).

I love self published authors, and this guy is good. His grammar is great, his writing is beautiful but he has one small problem, he can't remember the name of one character- it goes from Jacob to Joseph back to Jacob.

If only I could go back 20 years in time with the knowledge I have now... if only!!!!

This Simpson guy is going to be bad, bad news. He doesn't like anyone else to have the spotlight. I think his name was Simpson, whatever, he is going to kill people with his badass attitude.

Imagine if you went 10-15-20 or even 25 years into the past in your own self but all your memories were intact. Now imagine if everyone did and you just sprung back in time (in the book 25 years). So if you were 31 years old, you went back to a 6 year old but had a mind of a 31 year old! This book is crazy good, I'm hooked. Very sci-fi with lots of technie time travelie stuff but the characters are great.

This book sounds great so I'm going for it!

I'm really trying on this one. Something is not working.

Early this morning, I walked an extra mile (usually do 3 miles in the morning, 2 miles in the evening) just so I could continue listening to this book. This is NOT just a "war" book or a "vietnam" book, it is about survival, friendship, life altering decisions and accountability. THAT is why I'm hooked.

I'm guessing Harper becomes a more likeable character later? It's still early but she is so blah right now. Like I said, very early in story so I'm hopeful.

I've been wanting to read this one but sadly real life was imitating art so I wasn't prepared to read a book about death. I think I can handle it now. :)

I'm starting to understand my mom's ex-husband when he said "You are in Vietnam, and then Vietnam is in you".

This book started off so strong and now is pretty predictible and dragging. However, I'm still enjoying the overall story, just wish it would move forward now.

I really want to read today but I'm stuck at water polo tournament (right now on phone).

This book reminds me of why I love historical fiction so much! Absolutely fantastic.

Better than book 1!

leech up the penis.. (yes I know, another penis update--merely a coincidence..i promise)

If the opening paragraph is any indication.... I'm in for quite the book. Thankfully, I know war/military terminology since I'm already getting an earful (listening on audiobook).

OMG! It's not just my salsa that was hot.

I was up so late reading this that my Kindle literally was shaking in my hands from me trying to hold it. I love this story. Hunter (aka Saare) can write steamy scenes so good I feel like I'm a peeping Michelle!
