Foreverland is Dead

Foreverland is Dead - Tony Bertauski As with The Annihilation of Foreverland, I was very impressed by the character building/development and the skilful showing and not as much telling. I love the clever plot!

The Elements of Eloquence: How to Turn the Perfect English Phrase

The Elements of Eloquence: How to Turn the Perfect English Phrase - Mark Forsyth Witty, wonderful and well worth a read.

Damsel

Damsel - Susan E. Connolly Cute!

Henry VIII’s Wives

Henry VIII’s Wives - Julie Wheeler Short and concise. Did what it promises on the cover - provided me with a basic overview and understanding about the politics around Henry VIII and his marriages in an hour.

The Annihilation of Foreverland

The Annihilation of Foreverland - Tony Bertauski Good writing and very clever plot.

To Catch a Bad Guy (Book One) (Janet Maple Series)

To Catch a Bad Guy (Book One) (Janet Maple Series) - Marie Astor A whole lot of tell and not much show. Still, a perfectly okay albeit fluffy read. Perfect for a sick day in bed when you can't concentrate much :)

Shadows & Secrets

Shadows & Secrets - Chautona Havig, Craig Worrell Very charming with characters I really grew to care about. A little bit much of telling and not showing, however. Still, a good read :)

Dark Lord: The Early Years

Dark Lord: The Early Years - Jamie Thomson A simple and very funny read. :)

The God of Small Things

The God of Small Things - Arundhati Roy Beautifully written but utterly depressing.

A Wrinkle in Time

A Wrinkle in Time - Madeleine L'Engle I don't know if having heard and read so many raving reviews of this book magnified my disappointment in this read. Great concept, but the characters and the plot fell a bit flat for me and the book felt rushed or too short to properly give the story justice.
