Review:The Marketplace by Laura Antoniou is a book that's a departure for me. The first time I heard about The Marketplace or Laura was when I read at the former Ravenous Nights, now renamed, Between the Covers. Laura was there and read from one of the books in The Marketplace series. I was enthralled by Laura's reading and was told how The Marketplace is a book that has become a cult classic reading among those in the BDSM and GLBT reading community. I took a chance and decided to buy and read The Mar... Read more

Review:A good low-cost collection of O'Connor's works, perfect bound and paper not too flimsy (could be heavier). Rather small format. Definitely worh the few dollars I paid for it online, saving the search at used book sales, etc. Read more

Review:and desairing. nothing of value in here. I read about a tenth and am trying to make my way through a few pages a week. I don't understand why anyone would write this book nor why anyone would buy it. The description on Amazon isn't accurate in my mind. I was thinking this might be some kind of art deco book but it's totally, mind blowingly decadent. Read more

Review:Initially I briefly felt that the book was perhaps a little trite, but I withheld judgment because I found the main character interesting. Abilene, whose name is also the name of President Eisenhower's Kansas hometown, is a likeable young girl without direction or place in the world who is resignedly looking for answers. As I read on, I began to realize that "Moon Over Manifest" is a very skillfully crafted tale of two periods of Kansas, U.S., and world history with exceptionally authentic langu... Read more

Review:At twenty-seven, Tamelik has been a slave more than half his life. Submissive by nature, he can't help but fall in love with the master who treats him kindly.

Then he's ordered to purchase another slave.

He wants to hate Kai for being unruly and ungrateful. For being of the same race as the men who murdered his family. For being his eventual replacement in their master's bed. But it's hard to hate a man who cries himself to sleep, flinches at the slightest touch, and blushes beauti... Read more

Review:David gemmell is the best fantasy fiction writer I have ever read every character jumps to life and the action is incredible. Reading any of gemmell books is a pleasure and putting them down to try to get back to your life is difficult. Read more

Review:I have heard a lot on other blogs that people are saying this is another Hunger Games. While there are some similiarities to HG, the story line itself has a different twist. I have not been more excited or left reeling about a book in awhile and this one did that for me!

The book starts out with Cia's graduation day. This is the day that they announce which individual's, if any, will be chosen for The Testing. Cia would love to be chosen and follow in her father's footsteps. Her mother is... Read more

Review:Read on recommendation from a friend. Well written, full of action and believable characters. A bit too dark for my personal taste but if you are into dystopian type stories you'll likely love it. I wish there were a rating system for books that included a level of dark/horor/etc. Read more

Review:This is an incredible book. It is so fun to read aloud! I read it in a monster truck rally announcer voice. My husband prefers the British nature show narrator. Either way it is fun to read and a wonderful explanation for the game rock, paper, scissors. Read more

Review:After reading the sample I was hooked. The characters were well developed and the plot worked for me. I honestly did not anticipate the end and what a surprise it was.

While not great literature it was the kind of book you want to sit by yourself and read from page one to the end. Read more
