Review: Nightshifted

Nightshifted by Cassie Alexander

My rating: 2 of 5 stars



2.5 stars.
It took a bit for me to really get interested in this book. I didn't get into it til over half way through and then I was reading partly just to finish it. It is a light read. I was curious about some characters, but plot lines popped up late and were brief and I didn't have the time to really get into them. In the beginning, there was a lot of nurse jargon which threw me because I wasn't familiar with it. I noticed it less in the second half of the book and it flowed easier for me.
Overall, I liked this book. I'm unsure whether I'll pick up the sequels any time soon, or at all.

Review: Of Beast and Beauty

Of Beast and Beauty by Stacey Jay

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



I love Beauty and the Beast, so of course I picked up this retelling which adds a sci fi twist to the disney fairytale. This story is told through three narrations with a hint of a love triangle. I was weary of the whole love triangle bit, but then I remembered Garcon in the disney animation... Anyways, I was at the edge of my seat reading this. It was a quick read, and flowed nicely. Some parts seemed convinient at times in the way they worked out, but it was a nice story. The sci fi spin still kept with the tone of a classic fairytale, but made it original.

The Whovian Needs Time for Reading

Sorry it's been a while. The last 6 months haven't been that exciting. Corey was deployed, but he's home now. I was busy with derby, but I've been on a month long hiatus from the sport so far. I haven't really been in the mood for reading either. I've been watching a ton of TV tho.
My family finally peer pressured me to watch Dr Who. We devoured the last 6 seasons in only 3 weeks. Corey was skeptical at first, but now he seems to like it more than I do. I'm still not that into Matt Smith. The 10th doctor is my doctor. I  miss Tennant. We still have another season to convince me of Smith before we're all caught up. Anyways, I guess we got pretty caught up in the show cause Corey is buying me a sonic screwdriver that doubles as a universal remote for my birthday.
We're also watching Terra Nova. Too bad there's only one season.
I also found this cool article.

I'm really into science stuff, and is probably the only thing I kept up with reading-wise.
I did read the Fever Series, which was pretty good. Moning really loves her cliff-hangers tho!
I can't wait to start "White Trash Zombie Apocalypse" by Diana Rowling. It just came out this week. It seems like just the book to get me out of my reading slump. I loved the first two in the series, and the cover art is amazing.
Hopefully I'll have time to read since I'll soon be starting my new job at the craft store in the framing shop.
Well, that's all I have for an update!
