Sims begins this biography with "The coachman said the eggs would never hatch." And right away, the reader enters into the natural, sensual world that E.B. White inhabited. Born in 1899, White was closely connected to the natural world. He was a detail person, lover of words, shy, socially awkward, better at writing his feelings than saying them out loud. Sims captures so much of the inner White and weaves anecdotes and quotations seamlessly into this work. I did find the first section (White’s childhood) slow, but by the time I got to Part III: Charlotte, I was immersed in White’s life and could luxuriate in the story of how the erudite White morphed from NEW YORKER columnist to children’s fiction hero. This is also the story of children’s literature at a certain point in time, when Ursula Nordstrom reigned as editor, Anna Carroll Moore was a tigress librarian in NYC, and when White’s books were first published, they were read more by adults than children. Sims’ books is filled with glimpses of those bygone days and of the wonder that White spent long years writing his books, then Garth Williams (young and relatively unknown) completed all the artwork for CHARLOTTE’S WEB in three months! Anyone who loves children’s literature should make time to live with some of the “greats” in the field: White and those with whom he rubbed elbows.

This book is pretty brutal. I've always had a bit of a problem with Iain Pears and I've always thought I should like him because he writes historical mysteries which are right up my alley, however, I've never really gotten into one of his books. One of my biggest complaints about this book is the same one I have about any book that splits its attention between sets of characters. There are three timelines here, the Roman Empire in the fifth century, the plague in the fourteenth century and WWII in the twentieth century. There's never enough time spent on the century you're interested in and just when you've started growing accustomed to the new characters you get jerked off somewhere else in history. I don't like switches in the narrative like this much and they are rarely handled well. But what really clinches it for me is the sheer hopelessness of this novel. Two of the characters die having failed the one person who matters in their life. All of them die in pain of one sort or another, having been shown that love is never enough. What a hopeless message. When the most hopeful story line ends with the main character horribly maimed you know this is not going to be just your typical gloomy tale. So, no, I didn't enjoy this much at all, although I admit it wasn't all due to the author's skill, but partially just to his sheer pessimism and the gloomy topic he chose.

HO-LEE-CRAP. This book was smoking hot. Dare I say - the hottest book I have ever read. But I will say this - the story is driven totally on the sexual aspect. Yes - there is a story there.....but it does take a back seat to the crazy, smoking hot sex scenes. And a warning - this isn't your plain old vanilla sex. This is BDSM, threesomes, anal sex.....that kind of thing. So, if that isn't your cup of tea - I suggest you don't read this book. That being said - while those sorts of thing aren't part of my personal sexual menu - this book does handle it in a way that I could understand (and enjoy). My feminist nature has always sort of looked at male domination / female submission as something very caveman.....that it was a weakness to give yourself over to someone. But this quote from the book stood out to me the most - and really made me rethink my ideals on the subject: "You want to submit because you're strong, because when you're f*cking, you don't want responsibility. You want a man who can understand you and give you what you need - all without a word." To me, that says you have to have incredible strength to put all your trust in someone. It's not the ultimate weakness to submit.....but the ultimate strength. Wow. The whole theme of the book is basically about coming to terms about your deepest desires and how to trust someone completely - someone who knows how to give you each of your desires without judgement. Honestly, I thought the subject matter would be a turn off.....but I didn't find that to be the case. I found that on top of the insanely hot sex described in the book.....it also made me think.

Fans of the first book, The Body Finder, will be really pleased with this second installment. There is some ‘new’ material that is offered, but Kimberly manages to work with what she knows and what her fans have already proven to love. I think I enjoyed the first book slightly more than I enjoyed Desires of the Dead. It had a lot more to do with plot and suspense, and less on the everday ‘drama’ of our main characters. I enjoy Violet and Jay, but the secondary characters of this series – such as Chelsea, Mike, etc – don’t really hold my interest all too well. There’s always an ‘annoying friend’ and Chelsea fits that role perfectly in the Body Finder series. I ‘like’ reading this series, but that’s about as far as it goes. There’s just something holding me back from really ‘loving’ it and I can’t for the life of me pinpoint what it is. It’s certainly not Kimberly Derting’s writing style; I think the way she writes flows well and the descriptions are great. It’s not the characters; I like Violet well enough as a leading lady and Jay is great, too. As a second novel in the series, I was hoping Desires of the Dead would grow and expand on what The Body Finder offered. It did, slightly, in the introduction of Sara Priest and the FBI (and I’m excited to see where this heads in the next novel, really) but in other ways it didn’t. I also wasn’t too fond of the introduction of Rafe. While I am sick of ‘love triangles’ in YA novels today, I will still enjoy it if it’s written correctly and believably. I think we needed a fresh, exciting new character and Rafe halfway delivered. If we would have learnt more about him I think I would have warmed up to him a little more. For the most part, Rafe was stand-offish and abbrasive and if he’s to be the third-point in our upcoming love triangle, then I certainly won’t be rooting for him. The ‘mystery’ in Desires of the Dead wasn’t all that fantastic in my opinion. It’s more about Violet being stalked than anything. I won’t give away who it is (it’s pretty straightforward and predictable for the reader, as we are given enough clues) in case you haven’t read it yet, but I certainly enjoyed the murder-mystery more than I enjoyed a storyline fuelled by jealousy. I’ll be picking up the third book, The Last Echo, when it comes out, but for more of a ‘fun, light read’ than anything. I think I’m more excited about the start of Kimberly’s new series – The Pledge – than more of Violet’s world at the moment. Recommended to: Fans of the series won’t have any trouble getting into Desires of the Dead!

Shade was a good start to what seems to be a fascinating series. Jeri Smith-Ready changes up the typical ghost plotline, weaving it into something mysterious and almost government-controlled. I’ll be picking up Shift, the second in the series, as soon as I’m able. This is one of those 3-star books I almost gave a 4-star to. Something was holding me back, though. I’m not sure if it was my detachment from Aura, our leading lady, or the fact that Shade felt a little at times like too much of a ‘first-in-the-series’ book. I read the synopsis for Shade ages ago, but I didn’t do a refresher course before diving into the book. Therefore I had no idea Logan was going to die – until he started complaining of numbness and after downing the ‘Liquid Stupid’. That’s when I began to get suspicious. I was thinking ‘okay, don’t do this…‘ because I was really warming up to he and Aura as a couple. I guess that’s not really a spoiler if you’re read the synopsis, so I’ll keep my shock in my review! *Feels stupid for not reading synopsis before opening first page* Although I loved Logan, Aura on her own just doesn’t rub me the right way. I don’t dislike her, but I’m certainly not fond of her either. This might change when I start on book two, Shift, which I’m definitely going to be doing. I tend to lean away from the ‘goth/emo’ narrating characters, so maybe this was why I didn’t like her too much. As soon as she mentioned her skull-shaped barrettes, I felt myself frown. That’s just a personal choice, though. I liked Zachary enough, and his Scottish-ness, but I’m not too attached to him either (yet). While I wanted Aura to move on from Logan, I didn’t want her falling into Zachary’s arms as quick as she did. I also couldn’t fathom why he’d taken such a shine to Aura in such a short amount of time. Apart from spending a few nights drawing star charts together, they didn’t know much about each other and she kept a lot from him regarding her relationship with Logan – which was an integral part of herself. I feel like there are still a lot of loose ends, and that perhaps there were TOO many plotlines twisting together for me to feel the book was running smoothly. We had Aura’s relationship with Logan, her relationship with Zach, the mystery of her parents, Zach’s secret as well as his father’s job, Logan’s court case, Eowyn Harris and the research project on the Monoliths. I think my ‘like’ for this book would’ve increased if some of these threads had been tied up neatly before the book’s close, but I must admit that Jeri Smith-Ready managed to evoke a HUGE amount of emotion in me during those final chapters, for which I applaud. I’m really interested in the world that Jeri Smith-Ready has created. I’m eager to learn about the Shift, as well as the mystery behind Zachary being the Last and Aura being the First. Aura’s parents also fascinate me, and I can’t wait to find out just why her mother ripped certain pages from her diary. It’s incredible to think about a whole generation being about to see ghosts (if born after a certain date) as well as the impact it’s had on the world; such as the red clothing and sheets, entire buildings and private areas being ‘blackboxed’ and a government-like task force dedicated to reeling in Shades and setting up ‘translators’ for court cases involving the dead. Despite the things I wasn’t too fond of in the book, I still enjoyed Shade enough for me to want to continue on in the series. And that cliffhanger!!! Recommended to: If you’re looking for a different twist to the typical ghost story, give Shade a go.
