Bloodlines is the first book in a new spin off series to Vampire Academy. Bloodlines follows on one month after the events in Last Sacrifice and mixes the old with the new making it readable whether you’ve read Vampire Academy or not. This book follows Sydney an alchemist whose job it is to protect humans from the secret vampire world. Sydney is still in trouble with her people after her part in helping Rose Hathaway and is sent on a new mission to redeem herself by keeping vampire Princess Jill hidden in the human world. Sydney, Jill and two familiar faces to Vampire Academy fans Adrian and Eddie must protect Jill at all costs but with humans sporting magical tattoos similar to those of the alchemists and Moroi (the good vampires) murdered in unusual circumstances the stakes are higher than ever. I’m a HUGE fan of the Vampire Academy series and couldn’t wait for this spin off. I was a little worried that this book wouldn’t live up to my love for VA but I’m happy to say that it did! Richelle Mead’s writing is as fast paced and snappy as ever and Bloodlines has a good mix of the old to keep fans satisfied and the new to make it fresh and exciting so that it’s not just a copycat of its predecessor. Events from Last Sacrifice follow on in a natural, smooth way but Sydney and Co also unearth a lot of new problems and a whole new exciting plot Richelle Mead evolving this amazing world even further, delving more into the alchemist side of things but still keeping the plot intermingled with the Moroi (good vampires), Strigoi (bad vampires) and Dhampirs (half human, half vampire). Fans of Vampire Academy are probably eager to know if there will be any appearances or talk of our old favourite characters, Rose, Dimitri, and Lissa and I’m happy to report that there is plenty of mention of them and even a special appearance from Rose early on in the book. It was really interesting to see Rose from Sydney’s point of view as Rose was our protagonist in Vampire Academy and I have to say that the last sentence of Bloodlines had me wiggling in my seat with excitement for book two- I won’t say anymore than that but if you’ve read the book you’ll know what I mean ;-) That being said however nice that it was to catch up with old friends Bloodlines is very much about Sydney, Jill, Adrian and Eddie and I found myself not missing the old cast as much as I thought I would because I was so wrapped up in their story. Richelle Mead has also hinted at some potentially very interesting and exciting future love interests and I’m very excited to see where she goes with that. Overall Bloodlines was a fantastic first novel to a brand new series that will enthral Vampire Academy fans and entice new readers. Richelle has set up an absorbing new plot that runs smoothly alongside past events, and characters old and new who are as strong and hugely likeable as the first cast. Bloodlines is a must read for anyone and I can’t wait to see where Richelle Mead takes us next.

Although this sequel isn't up to par with the others in the Hearts of the Children series, I enjoyed it because I like the characters Hughes has created and care about them. Still, this book is too predictable, and things fall into place too neatly.

2006 Printz Award Winner - An okay read for ya-fiction. My 15 year old son loved it, so I guess it's a hit with its target audience.

I have to admit that I don't enjoy this series as much as I enjoy the Ladies' No. 1 Detective Agency series, but I still find it entertaining to read. The style is a little different then most novels, as it was originally published daily in a Scottish newspaper (I believe). The chapters are fairly short, which makes it easy to pick up and read quickly. As many different characters that commend the narration of the story, I'd expect to be confused, but I found it rather easy to keep up with them all. Even though McCall-Smith does a good job of quickly summarizing, I wouldn't recommend reading these books out of order.

Pretty good trilogy. They needed a different editor. I found lots of grammar errors and transposing of words. It was irritating to find so many errors in the 2nd and 3rd book. Overall it was a good story.

An oldie but still so entertaining! When I want to escape into comedy, here's where I go.

I got this book because I'm a closet romantic... And I like that period of time.

I was so moved by this book. I am the same age as the author, and all I could think, while reading it, was that but for the fact that I was born in America, I could have lived her life if I'd been born in China. Remarkable tale of 3 generations of women in China. I learned so much about the cultural revolution as well.

This book will ignite your interest in the history of the Roman Empire. At times chilling, prophetic, intelligent, funny, and always dramatic, this book features murderous characters whose flippant cruelty nearly defies belief as well as the lovable, stuttering, historian-turned-emperor who narrates the tale. Anyone interested in history, mythology and dramatic plotlines should enjoy this book. The sequel, "Claudius The God" is not quite as tightly plotted, but still a good read as well.

You've probably never heard of Peter Nichols, nor or Donald Krowhurst, the infamous sailor who simply walked off the stern of his vessell in the midst of his solo sail around the globe, leaving behind only his journal. The author/narrator, Mr. Nichols, knows his name and decides to pick up where Krowhurst left off. After a difficult divorce from his French wife, Nichols decides to sail his 28-foot schooner, Toad, across the Atlantic from England to his family's home in New England. Alone. Think about that: 3,000-some odd miles of ocean separates this man from safety, warmth, fresh food, civilization. Never sleeping more than 15 minutes at a stretch, Nichols sets off for the New World armed only with his instruments, his wits, and the one godsend his forebears did NOT have: a radio. During the voyage, he finds his ex-wife's diary, which provides him a whole different perspective on his dissolve marriage: she was unhappy almost from the beginning and he finds that the times when he felt the most insecure about their relationship were often her best days. Eventually, Toad springs a leak, which becomes worse and...I will say no more, but to leave you to wonder what YOU would do if you were in mid-ocean when your home, your safety, suddenly threatens to come undone. Mr. Nichols is a natural wordsmith, a born storyteller, and master at delving deep into human emotions, expounding frankly about regret, loss, lonliness and, ultimately, the power of self-determination. This is equally a tome about relationships as it is about sailing as his trips inside his wife's diary remind us once again how much we can learn about ourselves and our relationships by simply seeing it all from the eyes of another.
