It's time to put up a book review, but I thought I'd put up a bunch of little reviews instead of one big one. So, these are some books I've read lately:
Species Imperative trilogy - Julie E. Czerneda
- Loved this sci-fi series, not only the fascinating world-building but the characters. Mac is a fabulous main character and the series had everything I personally require in a story - action, adventure, heartache, romance, laughs, and...near-apocalypse! (okay, I don't always need a near-apocalypse...)
The Host (The Host, #1) - Stephenie Meyer
- I knew that this wouldn't be another Twilight, but to be honest I wasn't sure what to expect. In the end, what I got was something I prefer to vampires - aliens! I was also compelled by the at-times-unhealthy romance element.
Imaginary Girls - Nova Ren Suma
- I thought this was beautifully written, even if I really disliked Ruby for most of the story. I found her decision at the end of the story to be quite moving, and redeeming. All in all, this isn't a happy, chirpy story.
The Beggar's Opera - Peggy Blair
- This was a fairly entertaining read that kept me interested, but quite often I was confused as to who I was meant to be siding with. I guess it's good to have your assumptions and loyalties challenged in that way, though. ;)
I've also read these:
- The Mermaid's Mirror - L.K. Madigan
- How To Rock Braces and Glasses - Meg Haston
- What a Boy Wants (What a Boy Wants, #1) - Nyrae Dawn
- The Witches of Santa Anna (The Witches of Santa Anna, #1-7) - Lauren Barnholdt
What have you read lately?
