Book Title: Trauma Alert

Author: Radclyfe

Review: Hmmm, the characters kept switching personalities. The non aggressive one would get all aggressive and the aggressive one would say "stop, we shouldn't do this". Make up your damn mind please.

 

Book Number: 150

Number Of Pages: 256

Book Title: Seventh Son (Alvin Maker #1) Audio.

Author: Orson Scott Card

Review: I really enjoyed this. I was listening to the author's note that the end and he said that this series has gotten out of hand. That book 2 in what was supposed to be the trilogy ended in book 6! I've only listened to book 1, but I've started book 2. I really want to listen to them all.

 

Book Number: 151

Number Of Pages: 279

Book Title: Dragon Kiss

Author: E. D. Baker

Review: This one was surprisingly suggestive, a dragoness licking her lips and eying his back ridge and then him standing naked in front of a mirror, and "the feel of her in his arms" blega. I did not like all that suggestiveness.

Number Of Pages: 288

Book Title: Dragon Flight

Author: Jessica Day George

Review: Now I've read book 1 twice, and have had book 3 since before thanksgiving and I just finally got to read book 2. I was surprised to find an evil dragon in this book. So deep in alchemy that he bleached his scales white and was now controlling a human king. I am very glad I got to read this, finally.

 

 

Book Number: 153

Number Of Pages: 233

Book Title: Fully Involved

Author:Erin Dutton

Review: I'm not sure how I feel about this one. One character was getting constantly hurt. So much in fact that towards the end, when she got into a car crash, I'm like, "If she's hurt again, I am not reading past this". She wasn't hurt though. Yay. So I managed to finish it.

 

Book Number: 154

Number Of Pages: 210

Book Title: Handyman

Author: Claire Thompson

Review: I've been waiting for this one for quite a while and I have to say it was worth the wait. I liked it and say it will be a definite reread.

I would like to join in on this challenge. Certainly 250 books is a little extreme even with being able to read a book or two a day, so I'll just settle for a milestone of at least 50. I'll begin listing the books I've completed once I've actually finished one after today's date. Currently partway through one, it still counts doesn't it? Only read around 100 of the 600 pages.

Book Number: 56

Number Of Pages: 315

Book Title: The Kingdom of Fantasy

Author: Geronimo Stilton

Review: I enjoyed it, but, as an older reader, I knew which parts of the 'fantasy' were made up by the author and which were genuine mythological facts. A younger reader wouldn't kow the difference, I don't think, and could be confused into thinking that fiction is fact.

*collapses* Whew. I'm caught up, finally! Now to go read some more. biggrin.gif

 

 

@ maladroit ~ I really liked the main character and how she did 'evolve'. The characters are well-presented. Each chapter has a quote from Darwin's Origin of Species that relates to the chapter.

 

@ Omen ~ So long as you do finish it, I'm sure you can count it.

Book Number: 1

Number Of Pages: 595

Book Title: The Godfather

Author: Mario Puzo

Rating: 9/10

Review: An amazing novel about the rise, destruction and recovery of a Sicilian Mafia family based in New York. The novel details the more legitimate trades a Mafia family would participate in, along with having an in-depth view of how a typical Mafia family would operate when it came to dirty business. Such as how vengeance is gained, how businesses are kept in check and how a Mafia family attempts to remain neutral with other powerful Mafia families. It also describes how leadership among the Mafia is tested, earned and admired, the novel illustrates just how fast one callous act can turn the underworld into a full on war zone. Overall the novel was an enjoyable read, perhaps one of the best crime novels I have ever read. I would recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys reading mature crime based fiction that has been inspired by similar events/organizations in the real world. Please note the edition I read was the 1991 published version, not the 1969 published version.
