Korku Ve Titreme - Diyalektik Lirik-Soren Kierkegaard TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Pharmakon Kitap

This book picked up the pace and made me more interested in Anita again. I loved that they started adding in the steamy teases but I want more!!! lol That's my only complaint though. It's really interesting getting to know that world's supernatural characters better and be thrust deeper into the secrets within.

** spoiler alert ** An fun read if you're the type of person that wonders why things are the way they are, and like explanations backed up by data and not just someone's opinion. When the authors say there is no unifying theme, they mean it. It's just a collection of interesting stories about unique ways of looking at society and its foibles, and the authors' quests to find answers or explanations for them. What I learned: to really think through an incentive (make sure it will have the intended result); to challenge the real estate agent if I ever sell a home (they're not really incented to get you the best price); that I might not be as terrible of a parent as I feared (it's more about who you are not what you do, unless you're really terrible); and that I might be able to lose weight by eating what I want (reference to the Shangri-La Diet in the back of the book).

İsim Şehir Artist - Yılmaz Özdil TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Doğan Kitap

I liked that the book was from the middle child's viewpoint - the Watsons seemed like a typical family to me with their highs and lows, flaws and good points (even Byron). I loved Kenny's imagination and misunderstanding of things (like the Wool Pooh!) - nice touches of humor which made me laugh and smile. I was surprised that more of the book was about their life in Flint, Michigan than Birmingham, Alabama.

Evrensel Tarot (Universal Tarot)-Kolektif TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Omega

I might have gone with four stars if not for the format of three interlocking novellas. I would have preferred one long, fully connected story. The three novels revolve around the LBJ-like Texas governor Arthur Fenstermaker, although he is, oddly, almost a minor character in the first two novels. They focus more on the younger, less influential political players in the governor's orbit. When Fenstermaker does make an appearance, he demonstrates the raw power of the good ol' boy network of politicking. All of the novels follow the self-inflicted downward spiral of the '50s-era Austin-tatious new rich, in all their debauched and vulgar incarnations. These were people who had started out in a highly idealistic, progressive political movement. They dissolved their lofty liberal hopes for the nation in an endless wash of booze and general moral degradation. Billy Brammer was a staffer for Lyndon B. Johnson, so I have no doubt this is an accurate fictionalization of the time and place. Brammer was a fine writer with a special ability to probe the minds and hearts of characters who recognize their own weaknesses but can't seem to detach themselves from the thrill of power and the fun of being one of the beautiful people. I had some difficulty remaining sympathetic toward the characters. Somewhere around the second chapter of the third novel, I was weary of them, and bored with their faux-apologetic drunken fumbling for each other's fleshy protuberances and dangling bits. It's a credit to Brammer that he created them so convincingly, and I'm grateful to have been reminded of why I stepped away from greater involvement in politics after my own experiences with people of this ilk in college.

Worth reading, but I did find it somewhat disappointing. I liked Sarah by Orson Scott Card much better.

This was an interesting book club choice that let you discover the lives and plot from the daughter, mother, and grandmother's perspectives. It is true to harsh realities of single parenting, but I was only empathetic for the daughter.

Update 12/20: OMG THIS COVER IS AWESOME! I like that it's not the same model as the previous cover (who looked a whole heck of a lot like Megan Fox!). Can't wait to read this book!! Review Similar Books: Soulless by Gail Carriger, Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare, Magic Under Glass by Jaclyn Dolamore I enjoyed Kady Cross's YA debut The Girl in the Steel Corset last year, so I was excited to get the sequel from NetGalley. And while most sequels tend to not be as good as the original book, I think I liked this one even better than the first! (I'm also IN LOVE with the cover, but more on that later.) What was great about this book was the change of setting. You don't get many steampunk novels set in America, so it was really interesting to see Finley and the gang in New York City. This also gives them the opportunity to meet a very important inventor who plays a major role in the plot. (Hint: It's not Thomas Edison.) I also thought the characters really came into their own in this book. Finley still struggles with merging the two sides of herself, but she grows in confidence in who she is. I also loved how Griffin struggled with trusting her - he's afraid that she'll end up choosing to be bad instead of good. And he has a serious hero complex, but it was recognized as a character flaw rather than an asset, and I found that really interesting. He didn't really do it for me in the first book, but I ended up liking him a lot in this sequel! He's the brains behind the operation, and he binds everyone together. He struggles with letting go of the reins a little when it comes to Finley, letting her take more control of the situation - great conflict! And while we were introduced to Jasper's character in the previous book, he takes a much more central role in this book. He instantly became my favorite character. I adore a funny guy, and he was also really sweet and charming. It's adorable that he calls the girls Miss Finley or Miss Emily. And OMG he's a freakin COWBOY! I loved him. Seriously. But something I noticed was that all the characters felt a bit old. I'm not sure if it's because of the historical setting, where people grew up quicker or because there really aren't any adults in this book, but Griffin and Sam especially felt really mature. They came off as a 20-somethings to me. Not that that's bad, it just didn't seem to fit all that much with the YA genre, I guess. You can say Sam is 17 but if he acts 25, I'm going to think of him as 25. I also wished there could have been some more interplay between Sam and Emily. They really took a backseat in this book since Jasper became more prominent. And I understand that the Jasper/Mei and Griffin/Finley relationships were the important ones, but I missed Sam's awkwardness and Emily's scolding; they're precious. And OMG WHERE WAS JACK DANDY?! Okay, I get it - he's still in England. But he was sorely missed in this book. I think Cross tried to replace him with Dalton, the villain of this book, but I'm sorry - there is no comparison. While Jack really embodied the Cockney crook (how's that for alliteration?), Dalton didn't really feel all that much like a Southern gentleman when he was supposed to be from Virginia. I guess that surprised me since all the other characters really reflected their homes (like Jasper being a California cowboy and Emily's Irish-isms) with the exception of him. I guess it's better than being a caricature, but I wish he'd at least said 'y'all.' Overall, this was a solid sequel. I really enjoy a good steampunk, and I'm looking forward to the third book! But all I've got to say is there had BETTER be some more Jack Dandy!!!
