I have made this blog for the sole purpose of keeping track of the books I have read. Some day I will look back and say "WOW! I sure do read a lot!"
For those of you that come across this blog, I hope you find it useful. It may help you find your next book, get a new perspective on a book you've already read, or at the very least, provide a new way for you to waste a few minutes of your day.

Chosen at Nightfall by C.C. Hunter



While waiting for the next Beautiful Creatures book I picked up the next book from the Shadow Falls series.  I did enjoy it, like the other books.  They are a small step up from the pure crack candy books, which I thoroughly enjoyed.  I am not sure if this is the last book of the series, but it surely felt like it.  I do wish the ending had been longer.  We are built up to this major face off the entire book...and then it only last a chapter!

Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl


This books was surprisingly good.  I am not really sure what I was expecting, but I was very happy to find that it was not a crack candy series.  The characters had depth and real flaws, and the plot was intriguing and captivating.  I am very much looking forward to the other books in this series.

I would definitely recommend this book to others that enjoyed the Harry Potter series.  Though not quite as good, it does have potential.  It is one of the better YA fictions I have come across.

The Witch's Daughter by Paula Brackston


This book kept coming up as a recommendation on all the sites I look at.  So when I came across a free copy I picked it up.  It was the perfect book to read on the subway.  The story line is a little on the slow side, but it is broken up in to various smaller stories which made it easy to pick up and put down during short intervals.

The story and characters were interesting, I was not pulled in until the very end though.  I found myself not fully engaged and some of the descriptions were a bit longer than necessary. However, it did help pass the time which was the purpose.
