One Choice Will Define You…Or Make You Fall Asleep From Boredom

February 11, 2014 by Rachel S Leave a Comment

Allegiant is the last novel in the Divergent young adult trilogy.  I picked up the series after a friend told me it was similar to The Hunger Games.  Yes, the series are quite similar.  Both trilogies are set in America’s near future, after a war of some sort.  Both feature heavy handed governments and arbitrarily divided citizens.  And of course, both feature a young teen heroine who is just a little bit different or “special” than everyone else.  I really enjoyed the first book in Divergent series. It was […]

Cameron Diaz loves her body (and yours, and yours, and yours …)

February 10, 2014 by xoxoxoe 3 Comments

“Oh great,” you might think, “Another celebrity diet book.” But Cameron Diaz has taken a different spin with The Body Book: The Law of Hunger, the Science of Strength, and Other Ways to Love Your Amazing Body. Yes, it will most likely garner interest because of its celebrity association. But Diaz is not interested in anyone who might pick up this book to not eat or eat less or grab it as a quick guide to losing weight. She wants to celebrate bodies — hers, yours, […]

“Black Fire”: Star Trek Novelization Vangie13 cbr #21

February 10, 2014 by Vangie13 2 Comments

by Sonni Cooper “His dark shape flamed through the room, causing a skipped heartbeat, as he bargained for possession of the women. Shrouded in a garment made of lightning, he took the ladies as his own, bringing delight clouded in mystery. To see his face through the veil of dark flame. To touch his hand, strong and warm. To belong to this man of fire, if only for a moment. Time too short for love complete. He is a shadow of mystery. My flaming love.” […]

CBR VI # 2 Gathering Blue by Lois Lowry

February 9, 2014 by caragwapa Leave a Comment

I went into this book thinking that I would get an answer to the cliffhanger ending of The Giver. Was Jonas and Baby Gabriel safe? Or was it the final delusions of a dying kid? Well, I was sorely disappointed when the book opened to depict a society completely different from the Community. What was the connection? Well, I just decided to go ahead and enjoy the book on its merits and not as a sequel. Kira lives in a mainly hunter-gatherer society (with a […]
