Text of the page (random words):
hing away from the reading experience and that is not how it should be instead i ve been tracking my reading on goodreads and writing the occasional review on there i thought i would share this one on here since i loved this novel you should all read it extremely loud and incredibly close i am not sure how to review this novel and do it justice i am not even sure how to formulate my thoughts since i just put it down and am feeling slightly overwhelmed it is a wonderful and heartbreaking novel how life is a rotten dark miserable old thing yet it is precious and beautiful at he same time life is full of possibility but why do we focus so much on those possibilities instead of on the present moment we look forward to the future instead of enjoying what is right in front of us it s a novel about death and loss and learning to live in a world full of those things it is a novel about love and not taking anything for granted oskar was an endearing character trying to make sense of a world that has no sense he made me laugh and cry it is a study of what makes us human how each person has their own eccentricities their own little quirks and that is beautiful foer has a special talent for seeing people really seeing them this is what made this book for me i found this novel hard to read at times due to the style it was dry in parts other parts were pure poetry and reading those parts was a pleasure i found the pictures from september 11 hard to look at but i always have those were people jumping out of those buildings and this novel really drives that loss home it is so sad and so devastating and so hard to read thinking about what those people went through the fear of knowing foer does a tasteful and sensitive job of reminding us that they were human beings with loves fears passions hobbies children wives husbands favourite foods lovers of music books animals they were oskar s dad they were people and their lives were taken in a horrific and terrifying way i think authors who write about september 11 are treading on thin ground it can be easy to over sentimentalise but i think foer just avoids this this novel also focuses on the dresden bombing again so hard to read about but so important in our history as human beings when will we ever learn i d recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys contemporary literature it s not a light read it s emotional and exhausting but it s worth it just don t read it at work i read it during breaks and found it hard to switch off once i had to go back to the read world i lived in a mental fugue for a few days posted by rachel on monday june 18 2012 1 comments tags fiction taking a hiatus it s been a while since i posted a review here a long while and to be honest the review was so rushed and i felt so pressured to write it it was bad time to face the fact that i just don t have the time for this blog at the moment i have books a ll the way back to november i haven t yet blogged about look how many this makes me sad i love my blog i love talking about books and i love the book blogging community but the time has come to take a break blogging now feels like a chore something i must do and that isn t how it should be so for now i won t be writing reviews i will still be tracking the books i read via my reviews by month page but i won t be writing about each book i read this doesn t mean i won t post on here occasionally i still love to talk about books and may have things i want to share but the pressure to review is something i need a break from i ll still be reading your awesome blogs when i can and i will be back so for now happy reading and see you soon posted by rachel on friday february 24 2012 tags update finding things in books i bought this book from dymocks today this note was inside posted by rachel on friday february 03 2012 tags finding things in books changless gail carriger parasol protectorate 2 alexia tarabotti the lady woolsey awakens in the wee hours of the mid afternoon to find her husband who should be decently asleep like any normal werewolf yelling at the top of his lungs then he disappears leaving her to deal with a regiment of supernatural soldiers encamped on her doorstep a plethora of exorcised ghosts and an angry queen victoria but alexia is armed with her trusty parasol the latest fashions and an arsenal of biting civility even when her investigations take her to scotland the backwater of ugly waistcoats she is prepared upending werewolf pack dynamics as only the soulless can she might even find time to track down her wayward husband if she feels like it genre fiction steampunk paranormal romance urban fantasy publisher orbit year 2010 rating 3 5 you know trying to write this review i realise i don t have much to say about this novel sure i am way behind in my reviews and it s been months since i read it which could be the reason why but really what is there to say for me the parasol protectorate series is my go to when i need a silly read you know those times when you just can t do serious you don t want to think too hard and you want something fun yup these books provide just that and i mean that in a positive way these types of books are just as important as serious award winning literature that said i have no firm opinions on the plot in this book sure it was an enjoyable enough read there were a few laugh out loud moments and carriger has a unique writing style but i didn t connect with the characters and for me that is the number one aspect of what makes a book excellent instead of average reading this series i know lord maccon is supposed to be a mega hotty but i don t see it honestly i am probably not the best person to review this book as despite my enjoyment of paranormal novels i just don t do paranormal romance in the sense it makes me swoon and i think i am supposed to swoon instead i picture lord maccon to be hairy smelly and well let s leave it at that as for alexia i want to love her i really do she had so much potential in book number one to be an awesome kick are female protagonist unfortunately i didn t feel her character was developed much more in this novel for me she lacks depth depth is what makes an ordinary character a brilliant one honestly i think it must be extremely difficult to write real characters especially when they are of the supernatural variety so that can be forgiven when i read soulless last year i enjoyed it mainly because it was so different from my usual reads so i picked up changeless thinking i could really get into this series although i have blameless sitting on my bookshelf waiting to be read and i will read it i am not itching to do so i am happy for it to sit there until i am having one of those days where i need some silliness posted by rachel on saturday january 21 2012 tags fiction paranormal romance series steampunk urban fantasy vampire werewolves wither lauren destefano what if you knew exactly when you would die thanks to modern science every human being has become a ticking genetic time bomb males only live to age twenty five and females only live to age twenty in this bleak landscape young girls are kidnapped and forced into polygamous marriages to keep the population from dying out when sixteen year old rhine ellery is taken by the gatherers to become a bride she enters a world of wealth and privilege despite her husband linden s genuine love for her and a tenuous trust among her sister wives rhine has one purpose to escape to find her twin brother and go home but rhine has more to contend with than losing her freedom linden s eccentric father is bent on finding an antidote to the genetic virus that is getting closer to taking his son even if it means collecting corpses in order to test his experiments with the help of gabriel a servant rhine is growing dangerously attracted to rhine attempts to break free in the limted time she has left genre fiction young adult dystopian romance publisher simon and schuster year 2011 rating 5 5 i picked up this book on sale at basement books in sydney it was cheap it has a pretty cover and i had previously read a review on 25 hour books which caught my interest despite that i wasn t expecting too much nowadays the market is saturated with these types of novels ya romances dystopian fiction they are a dime a dozen and there is plenty to choose from so i was expecting the run of the mill read i was pleasantly surprised wither was intriguing and haunting i couldn t put it down thanks to scientific experiments in genetic engineering people now only live until they are young adults once women hit 20 and men hit 25 they get sick and die a horrible death in an effort to save the human race from extinction the older generation which are still living from before these days encourage their offspring to procreate before they die all while looking for an antidote this has resulted in woman being treated as a commodity life is tough you have to fight to survive and harsh realities face teenage girls there is fear of being murdered kidnapped and forced into prostitution or kidnapped and forced to be a bride in order to have babies and keep the human race going for rhine all of these options are horrifying so to say she is unhappy when she is kidnapped and forced to marry linden is an understatement she joins two other girls her sister wives and together they are afforded to live their short lives in luxury on the condition they do their best to get pregnant when it comes down to the crunch this doesn t sound so bad rhine gets to live in a beautiful manor she is given plenty of pretty dresses and has two other girls to spend her time with but loss of freedom is loss of freedom no matter what the circumstances all rhine wants to do is escape and return to her twin brother the novels focuses on her plans to do this and her growing relationship with her sister wives a young servant boy and her husband things are never as they seem and rhine learns this the hard way the big bad in this novel is linden s father he will stop at nothing to try and save his son he is driven by a desire to find an antidote and will do all it takes even if it means murder there sure are some creepy scenes in this novel underneath the basic story destefano touches on some very important issues human trafficking mortality rates the sex trade womens rights and lack of power are all issues that are very real in our world today so although this book is fiction it really isn t all that far from reality if you can look past the futuristic setting and dystopian aspects you could relate these themes to problems facing women in many different countries in our world today this book being ya was also an easy read i basically read it in one sitting so this is one of those books that is great for a lazy sunday afternoon or long journey i would recommend it to anyone who enjoys dystopian fiction just be aware that this novel is focused on the characters so don t expect a great new world i think that is the only negative about this novel the world isn t really fleshed out but that s ok the characters and the issues they face are more than enough to make this book a good read posted by rachel on monday january 02 2012 tags dystopian fiction romance young adult books read in 2011 january 2011 1 soulless gail carriger 2 sputnik sweetheart
