I hope to be able to catch up with you guys during the winter holiday Book Number: 11 Number Of Pages: 199 (Bulgarian Edition) Book Title: L'amour dure troisans (Love Lasts Three Years) Author: F.

She hides in the little town Scargil Cove, where she falls in love with Fallen Jones. Together they fight against the people Isabela's running from. Rating: 5/5 Review: I love all Jayne Krentz's books, because there is always romance in them, which combined with the paranormal abilities her characters have, make the books very very intriguing and easy to read! This one makes no exception! Book Number: 13 Number Of Pages: 592 Book Title: The Vampire Diaries book 5 - NightFall Author: L. J. Smith Summary: In this book Elena becomes human again. Meanwhile, Caroline summons in Fell's Church 2 Kitsune (Japanese demon, shaped as a fox), but her plan goes horribly wrong and the whole town ends up covered in Malach (evil "bugs"), that infect every child. Damon makes a deal with one of the Kitsune, but that ends up badly as well, and in the end Stefan is kidnapped by the Kitsune and taken into the Dark Dimension (a dimension, where demons, vampires and all kinds of supernatural species live and the humans are their slaves).

She wants to destroy it and so to kill the Kitsune and to free her town. It's a very loosely summery, but if I write the most important thing that happens in the book, I'll spoil the fun of reading it! As my fun was partly "murdered" when my best friend told me how it ends :/ Rating: 5/5 Share this post Link to post

Posted November 14, 2011 Book Number: 12 Number Of Pages: 112 Book Title: done.: What most religions don't tell you about the Bible Author: Cary Schmidt Summary: A book that tries to convince the reader about the necessity of belief in God, about what he's done for you and about how easy it is to be "born again". Review: This book was exactly the trivial feel-good touchy religious propaganda tripe that I expected. I read it mostly because it was for free in Kindle store and I thought it would lead to some lols. It did, as it contained the same apologetic "arguments" that I've read numerous times before. Also, from a nitpicky perspective, I noticed that the author 1) mostly bases his arguments on writings from Paul (whom I consider a secondary source, since he didn't really meet Jesus, 2) speaks as if all religions are monotheistic, which for me as an atheist with an occasional interest in religious customs seems very narrowminded. I'm sad that this book actually also got printed. Share this post Link to post
