Asher's Invention by Coleen Kwan

Asher's Invention by Coleen Kwan My rating: 1 of 5 stars LOL!! That was soooo cheesy!!! It took me only a few hours to read it. I was expecting that the story would eventually captured my attention... it did not! Do yourself a favour... don't read that book! I could have used those few hours to do better things. 2012 Reading Challenge Guylou has read 19 books toward her goal of 30 books. hide 19 of 30 (63%) view books

The Hunter and The Hunted by Kelley Armstrong

The Hunter and The Hunted by Kelley Armstrong My rating: 2 of 5 stars Thirteen is my lucky number. I figured out that the 13th book in this wonderful series would be totally awesome, but that did not happen. The book is made up of three short stories which leave you thirsty for more. The stories were tame compared to the other 12 books. I love this author and her writing is always interesting and she has a way to make you guess what will happen and take you somewhere else completely. This time; it was not the case. :( I am actually grateful that the book was not longer than it was. There will be more books (I hope) to redeem this one (I hope). 2012 Reading Challenge Guylou has read 18 books toward her goal of 30 books. hide 18 of 30 (60%) view books

Cascade by Maryanne O'Hara

Cascade: A Novel by Maryanne O'Hara My rating: 3 of 5 stars First of all, before I tell you how much I like this book, I would like to thank Penguin Group for giving me an advance copy of this great book. It is always nice to get a free book! I really enjoyed this book. Maybe because I related so much to the main character, Dez. Her life and ambitions are so similar to mine and deep down; I wish that my future will be similar to hers. The characters were real and likable and sometime not so much. The author portrayed the time period very well and overall the book was believable. The descriptions of Dez's paintings were vivid and made me want to see them in person if this would have been possible. Some parts of the book were a bit long and some side stories a bit derailing. But beside that, it was a great read. This book will be available in bookstores on August 16th, 2012. 2012 Reading Challenge Guylou has read 17 boo
