Sorry!

I know, I know, it's been almost a month since my last post. I just started grad school, and course work has taken its toll on posting.

Even though I write very short reviews, I do put time and thought into them. I have not had the opportunity to do that recently. I hope to start again soon.

Contagious: Why Things Catch On



15801967

 I listened to the audiobook, and I found myself sitting in the car listening, because I found this book so interesting.

If you need to market anything, want to create a successful integrated marketing communication campaign, or are just interested in why certain things to viral, read this book.

Read these books now.

A great blending of romance, magic, tension, action, and fun. These book kept me turning pages as quickly as I could.

A Torch Against the Night



I read an ARC of this book.

Another exciting, action packed, just the right amount of romance, novel.

Although the first two books in the An Ember in the Ashes trilogy were fun (dare I say good) reads, I hope Tahir has something up her sleeve for the third book. It could easily become one of those "am I re-reading the previous book, or is this really the new one?" experiences.

Half Lost




A surprising, emotional, and appropriate conclusion to the Half Bad trilogy. If you have the opportunity to experience the audiobooks, I highly recommend it.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child






A fun, exciting, and magical look into the lives of many fan favorites. True to the characters and wizarding world. I would have liked to see more of Lilly and James Potter, though.

Side Note:
I have read a few reviews that state (complain) that they would have liked more description/ wanted to see how things were done. To them I say, this is a play. The point of a play is to watch it, not read it. If reading the script made you wonder what a particular scene would look like, or now something is done, I would consider that a strength of the writing, not a weakness. If dialogue alone pulled you into the world of the story, imagine what seeing it on stage would do.

Saga Volume 5



If you haven't read Saga yet, do it. Volume 5 continues the amazing story telling, artwork, and journey of the previous 4 volumes.
