The Next 50: The Anubis Gates / Tim Powers
http://wanda-thenextfifty.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-anubis-gates-tim-powers.html
Thursday, 13 August 2015. The Anubis Gates / Tim Powers. 3 out of 5 Stars. This review contains spoilers- if you don't want to know, don't read any further. I’m not sure exactly what I think of this time-travel adventure. There are aspects that I love, some that leave me confused, and at least one that produces both sensations. A lovely circular dilemma for the reader to enjoy. 18 August 2015 at 19:31. 20 August 2015 at 10:33. Yes, the use of Yesterday was inspired. Enjoy your re-read! Moon Called / Patr...

The Next 50: Magic Bites / Ilona Andrews
http://wanda-thenextfifty.blogspot.com/2015/08/magic-bites-ilona-andrews.html
Thursday, 13 August 2015. Magic Bites / Ilona Andrews. 4 out of 5 stars. 4 stars—I liked it (3 stars) and I figure it has potential (plus one star). So many people have read/are reading this series and giving it high marks, that I felt I had to give it a go. And when better to try it than during my Summer Festival of Fluff. Summer Festival of Fluff. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Lagoon / Nnedi Okorafor. Jack the Bodiless / Julian May. Visions of Heat / Nalini Singh. Hexed / Kevein Hearne. I've made...

The Next 50: A Siege of Bitterns / Steve Burrows
http://wanda-thenextfifty.blogspot.com/2015/08/a-siege-of-bitterns-steve-burrows.html
Monday, 10 August 2015. A Siege of Bitterns / Steve Burrows. 4 out of 5 stars. A charming first book from a man who is a dedicated birder himself. A Brit living in Canada, his main character is a Canadian living in the U.K. And not just anywhere in the U.K., in Norfolk, an area well known for its birding opportunities. He writes convincingly about the expat experience. That worldview is studied in. A Siege of Bitterns. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Lagoon / Nnedi Okorafor. Hexed / Kevein Hearne.

The Next 50: Forever Amber / Kathleen Winsor
http://wanda-thenextfifty.blogspot.com/2015/08/forever-amber-kathleen-winsor.html
Monday, 10 August 2015. Forever Amber / Kathleen Winsor. 25 stars out of 5. Wow, this is a door-stop of a book and apparently when the publisher accepted it for publication, they cut it down to one fifth of its original size. I can’t imagine having to wade through even more pages to get to the conclusion, so I thank the editors profusely! It’s difficult, from our 21st century perspective, to see what the fuss was about in the 1940s. This is one of the novels that began the path that led us to. Incidental...

The Next 50: Magician : Master / Raymond E. Feist
http://wanda-thenextfifty.blogspot.com/2015/08/magician-master-raymond-e-feist.html
Friday, 7 August 2015. Magician : Master / Raymond E. Feist. 3 out of 5 stars. I did acquire a fondness for Prince Arutha that I didn’t have in the first book. He is probably the most well-rounded character in the second volume. I suspect that at some point in book three, he will be happily married off to Princess Anita, who is showing herself to be a remarkably sensible young woman. I look forward also to his altered relationship with Martin Longbow. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A Siege of Bitter...

The Next 50: Discount Armageddon / Seanan McGuire
http://wanda-thenextfifty.blogspot.com/2015/08/discount-armageddon-seanan-mcguire.html
Monday, 10 August 2015. Discount Armageddon / Seanan McGuire. 4 out of 5 stars. Cute Smart. Snarky. Exactly what is necessary for my. Summer Festival of Fluff. 8220;Never tell anyone to be careful, never ask what that noise was, and for the love of God, never, ever say that you’ll be right back.”. Verity has a group of Aeslin mice living in her NY apartment, worshipping her as their goddess. Hail! That said, her love life gets a little complicated:. I gasped, "Oh, God, the mice!

The Next 50: Jurassic Park / Michael Crichton
http://wanda-thenextfifty.blogspot.com/2015/08/jurassic-park-michael-crichton.html
Tuesday, 11 August 2015. Jurassic Park / Michael Crichton. 35 stars out of 5. I figured that it was time to read the original. As I recently went to see the fourth movie, Jurassic World. Basically, JW follows the same pattern as previous movies—people create dinosaurs, dinosaurs get loose, much running and screaming ensues. Still it was worth every penny just for the scene in which the Mosasaur leaps out of a pool in a SeaWorld like setting. So, a very good novel with good suspense and a fun premise (who...

The Next 50: July 2015
http://wanda-thenextfifty.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 29 July 2015. The Gods of Riverworld / Philip Jose Farmer. 2 out of 5 stars. Thirty-five billion people from throughout Earth's history were resurrected along the great and winding waterways of Riverworld. Most began life anew- accepting without question the sustenance provided by their mysterious benefactors. But a rebellious handful burned to confront the unseen masters who controlled their fate- and these few launched an invasion that would ultimately yield the mind-boggling truth. Farmer&#...

The Next 50: April 2015
http://wanda-thenextfifty.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 29 April 2015. You / Caroline Kepnes. 4 out of 5 stars. When a beautiful, aspiring writer strides into the East Village bookstore where Joe Goldberg works, he does what anyone would do: he Googles the name on her credit card. I believe that this is the first book that I’ve encountered written in the second person. It felt awkward at first, but I was soon so immersed in the story that it ceased to matter. It is also unusual to be able to identify with a male stalker, but I found myself reluctan...

Midu Reads and Shares…A lot! Eight Reasons Why You Should Not Read The Bonehunters by Steven Erikson. Posted by Midu Hadi. December 1, 2016. February 2, 2017. This is not a review. This is me gushing about the fact that The Bonehunters did not disappoint. However, you should avoid reading this series, if you are not interested in the following:. The book had two ghosts who haunted lizard skeletons, were compulsive liars, had a secret agenda, and were actually dragons! This is how they talk:. 8220;Mess wi...
