The first four Earthsea novels in German. Some of my favorite books already, they proved to be entertaining to read through in another language, without too much of the Herr der Ringe "Beutlin"-izing that I'd feared I would find here.

I particularly liked the short story "Germans at Meat." She captures a vegetarian's horror at sausage to a tee, as well as the jingoism and superiority that Germans and British each had at the start of WWI.
The local Humane Society recommended that we read this book before we adopted our dog, Harley, and it was SOOOO informative. Harleyis only 7 months old, but she's very well trained for her age (thanks to this book!) and any time we have a new issue come up, we use the book to help us figure out why and how to fix the problem! Definitely a great read for NEW dog/puppy owners!

Great start to the Misfits, Inc. series! Mark Delany is a really good writer, and I looked forward to reading the second book!

I absolutely adore this series. I'm not quite sure why a world full of zombies and tragedy appeals to me, but there you go. I find Carrie Ryan's post-zombie-apocalyptic world captivating. Each novel has tugged at my emotions and made me truly care about the characters. This series is sure to stay on my list of favorites for a long time, and it won't be forgotten easily. I would definitely recommend this series, beginning with The Forest of Hands and Teeth and The Dead-Tossed Waves to anyone who has an interest in dystopian novels.

I read Caroline Goode's novel "Cupidity" as part of my research for my creative thesis project (long story). The novel features Greek gods and misunderstandings of Shakespearian proportions. But first and foremost, "Cupidity" is what most people--who don't use my expanded definition of the term--would call a chick lit novel. The cover art by Amy Saidens is possibly the best part of this novel. Sad, yes. But to date Caroline Goode doesn't have any other novels so who knows what's in store for her (Aimee Friedman started with teen "romantic comedies" too and now she's a kind of big deal). (Sidebar: Amy Saidens has done the cover art for lots of YA novels including "How to Not Spend Your Senior Year," "Spin Control," and "The V Club." All of which have ah-may-zing covers. You can see her illustrations at her website.) Okay, so that's a lot of background without saying anything about the book. Just to give a hint of what's in store, my online dictionary defines "cupidity" as "excessive desire, especially for wealth; covetousness or avarice." So, you can imagine what kind of trouble starts when Cupid is sent to a modern-day high school and decides to disguise himself as a teen girl called Cupidity. It all starts when the novel's protagonist, seventeen-year-old Laura Sweeney (a mythology buff conveniently enough) asks Jupiter to send her a boyfriend. The Gods and Goddesses of ancient Rome are still alive and kicking--just not very high. The immortals are rotting in an exclusive nursing home where they have decided to spend . . . well all eternity I guess. This is one of my biggest pet peeves with the novel. Goode is one of the few authors I have encountered with the ingenuity to put ancient gods and goddesses into a modern setting. But instead of making the most of it and creating a really interesting plot device--Goode squanders these amazing characters, having them hobble around with walkers, some bordering on senility. These are the gods that entire civilizations worshiped out of fear and awe. It's just embarrassing to read about them in a nursing home, I'm sorry. But there's more to question in the plot: In a misguided attempt to get Laura that boyfriend, Cupid/Cupidity starts wreaking havoc among the student body. Suddenly skaters are dating nerds. Jocks are hanging out with rockers. The entire social order of Laura's high school is in chaos. If any of this sounds familiar it's because every modernized version of Shakespeare's comedies has done something of a similar type. (The mistaken identity of "Twelfth Night" crossed with the mayhem of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is an apt comparison here.) This would all be tolerable. Except for the painfully obvious fact that Laura's perfect guy is right in front of her and she would be able to find him herself if she'd stop whining and really pay attention for a minute. But, of course, she doesn't do that until the end. The narrative here is also not the best. The story starts slow and always seems vaguely staged. Case in point: Instead of letting Laura's interest in mythology stand on its own, it's basically used to beat readers over the head lest they forget the mythology connection. The fact that none of the secondary characters have any dimension (or even significant roles in the narrative) also does little for the book as a whole. This comedy of errors is mildly amusing, but in the long run there are too many near-misses and mix ups to make the story anything but frustrating as Laura stumbles along trying to get things back to normal and find true love.

What the brothers in this novel have in common with most of Auter's leading men is a relation to another that is more like an alter-ego/rival than another man.

This book was super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super good! Sara found an owl that talked through her mind. The owl and her kept talking after school and there was a goal she wanted to reach and he helped her. I learned that you can reach a goal even if it's really hard and it might take a while. If you think bad thoughts, you have a bad day. If you think good thoughts, you have a good day.

Very good book! However the ending was unsatisfying for me, I wish there was an epilogue!

Excellent friends-to-lovers romance with a slightly supernatural theme. Hansen and Sam have been best friends since they found out they both have the same powers. Now they are adults and sharing a flat but Sam's powers seem to be out of control and their secret is out. This forces the two MC's to confront their feelings. This is a well written and easy to read story with very engaging characters and a seductive, slow-burn build-up to some very passionate sex scenes. The supernatural element is light, it almost reads like a contemporary. I would love to read more books in this setting and will definitely buy any new books this author releases. Recommended for just about anyone. Edit: Fabulous cover too!

Carter Weston, Miskatonic Üniversitesi'nde efsanelere ve okültlere olan ilginin yaygınlaştığı bir üniversite öğrencisidir. Incendium Maleficarum, Cadı Inferno'nun yeniden doğuşları ve Weston'un profesörü ve akıl hocası olarak adlandırılan rezil bir kitap, kitabı onun için tedarik etmesini ve hemen ona geri götürmesini istiyor, böylece sonsuza kadar kilitlenebiliyor, Weston profesörü için kitap. Kitabı bulma yolculuğu onu kilometrelerce sürmeyecek, ancak karşılaşacağı erkekler ona hayatlarında her şeyi sonsuza dek değiştiren yerlere geri götürecek hikayeler anlatacaklar. Carter, tüm efsanelere inanmayan biri olmakla birlikte, hikayeleriyle ilgilenmekten ve benzerliklerden haberdar olmaktan başka bir şey yapamaz. Carter'ın yolculuğu sırasında inancı ve inançları test edilecek. İnsanlarla dolu bir el, insandan önce gizlenen hayali kötülüğün üstesinden gelebilir mi ??? Bu kitabın beni ne kadar büyülediğini size anlatmaya bile başlayamıyorum! Bu kitaptaki ilk sayfa ilgimi çekti ve indirmek çok zordu. Gerçek hayat beni her zaman kesintiye uğratmasaydı, bu hikayeyi bir oturuşta okurdum! Brett Talley harika bir hikaye anlatıcısı! Onun yer ve olay tasvirleri beni o kadar büyülemişti ki, aslında var olup olmadıklarını görmek için bazılarını google'a bile harcamak zorunda kaldım. Olmaması Gerekenler, günlerin kaçınılmaz sonu ve dünyayı ele geçirmeye çalışacak kutsal olmayan varlıklar hakkındaki çeşitli efsaneleri ve dini inançları kapsar. Bu hikayeyi benim için bu kadar ürkütücü yapan şey, Talley'nin birçok gerçek efsane ve kutsal kitap kullanmasıydı. Birçok korku hikayesinin aksine, Talley sizi korkutmak için kanı kullanmaz. İnanç ve gerçekleri kullanır, bu da hikayeyi çok daha gerçekçi ve korkunç hale getirir. Bu çok uzun zamandır okuduğum en iyi korku hikayelerinden biri ve biliyorum ki daha uzun süre aklımın arkasında benimle kalacak. İçimde başka bir hayran daha kazandığı için bu yazarın daha fazla çalışmasını dört gözle bekliyorum!
