This one is more than a little hard to categorize. -It's historical in a sense, set in the early 1960's--with all its turmoil and tech limitations. -It's magical realism, to be sure--featuring an aquatic man-creature who is ancient yet vastly superio ...more |

A fancifully written feudal fairy tale romance, set primarily in a sort of underworld--with a darker Spirited Away feel, and a side of human sacrifice. The prose here is skilled and distinct. The author has a knack for vivid descriptions--which is ab ...more |

of
The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea:
"Cute and sweet. Reminds me of something Studio Ghibli would do. But I didn’t connect with the characters and a lot of the plot was overly convenient. "

of
Nobody Wants Your Sh*t: The Art of Decluttering Before You Die:
"The decluttering concepts were practical and useful in overcoming obstacles and justifications, but I didn't care for the redundant swearing in this Americanized version of the Swedish concept of death cleaning. The repetitiveness also turned this in"

In My Time of Dying: How I Came Face to Face with the Idea of an Afterlife
by Sebastian Junger (Goodreads Author) |

A memoir, and an NDE (near-death experience), from a renowned and trusted journalist. By all rights of background and upbringing, Junger ought to be dismissing the idea of there being any sort of continued existence after death. But there's nothing l ...more |

“I didn't just love him…I needed him. Not in some desperate "you complete me" sort of way. No, Vincent didn’t make me whole. He improved me. Something about him—something I didn't understand—had a way of amplifying the good in my nature while muting the bad. He was a catalyst for my soul. I didn't need him in order to exist...I needed him in order to be a better me.”

I've been rocking it a few years now, but I just recently updated the author photo. Makes it a little easier to spot me in a crowd. ;P
I love your new hair! Or not-so-new, as it may be, but new to me since I just saw it while glancing at my GR feed :).
Thank you for sending the friendvite, Angela! You would have had to wait one for a good day or so, but I'm glad you didn't ;)

Thanks for accepting the invite, Chryssa! :)
I always like to consider the opinions of people who share such similar tastes in books. ^_^ Thank you in advance for taking part in helping me decide what I should read next. ;) I hope my reviews might be of some use to you as well.
Thanks for the friend invite Angela~!Looking forward to sharing opinions on books! :o)
Good point. :)I'm actually not surprised on the difference of opinion in the HG series. I thought the second one was VERY similar to the first, and I know many people who found that disappointing and non-progressive. And with the last book being more centered on the war than on the characters, I think the high-action/stratagem of it appealed more to males, generally speaking. (My theory, anyway.)
But yes, anyways...enjoy your weekend! ^_^
Well there are like 4 billion books so even having a handful in common is pretty hard to do. Even funnier we were opposite of thinking which hunger games sequal was not so good. Any hoozal-have a good memorial weekend!
Thank YOU for the invite, B.P. ^_^ I'm pleased to meet you. And I hope my ratings/reviews might be helpful to you in prioritizing your to-read list. We seem to have fairly similar tastes in the books we've both read--not an easy thing to come by, in my experience.
Thanks for accepting the invite you have a super diverse book list looking forward to checking out your reviews :)
