The Mating by Nicky Charles

I'm 40 and this is my first werewolf novel. Really didnt think I would enjoy it, never thought paranormal novels would be my cup of tea. But I really love this piece. Finished in just 2 days, couldnt stop reading till 4am last night. Definitely a page turner. The suspense build up was at times frustratingly slow. I guess that is the author's way of keeping us reading. I love the characters; Elise the 19year old sweet girl with heart of steel, Kane the young Alpha wolf of his pack, and everyone else. The erotic scenes were kept basic and sweet. Story line clear and all in all, I am left feeling nice. Epilogue on Ryne's new found land to start a new pack too gives me warm feeling. l missed the characters already......hope to read more of Charles' books.

Quatrain

This one by John Medler, a trial lawyer living with wife and
6 Children in St Louis MO. I downloaded from freeebook. It's one of the most read by that community and yes, I agree, it is movie material. In fact, I remember having watched a movie with the climax being terrorist attempted to attack American public during their major football game. I quite enjoy reading this one. It's a change after the love stories I've been reading of late. But I really dont like the obvious irony; the American be it army or politicians can murder children and innocents of other countries with not a single feeling of remorse. But others who with all of their bleeding heart merely want to revenge for the killings of their families, would be considered terrorists and must be destroyed. Bloody collateral damage in the name of saving a few Americans too is okay. What aweful state of mind these people are in. I definitely wont say it is right for the so called terrorists for their blind intent to kill innocents or guiltu in their eyes out of the need for revenge. I just dont like it when some people are allowed to do it without being considered wrongful while others are branded terrorists and condemned to humiliation and must be denied any right to live. When will there be just in the true sense?

The Guardian

A superbly written love story with elements of thriller by Nicholas Sparks. A zillion years away better and definitely more civilized than the thrash can material Grey trilogy.  Heartwarming narration of Julie who lost her husband Jim when they were in their twenties. She then had to go through silly relationships and lastly a painful experience of coping up with a lunatic stalking Richard on her way to find sweet love in her old friend and hubby's best buddy Mike. Lovely read....in the epilogue I read that Sparks has read thousand of thrillers from which some contributed to his ideas of this novel. How about that? How many books have I read....not as many as I should. But I'm certainly trying and vow to read several hundred more at least. Hope that my dream to pen down my own novel will materialize ultimately.

Bared to you by Sylvia Day

Oh my, was I tricked again into believing that this one would actually give me that wonderful feeling and rush of sweet emotions only a middle aged woman would crave.  Damned the reviews. Most of the pages were narrating hardcore scenes allright. The scenario is really not much different from the Shades of Grey. Probably better that Eva seems to have a strong mind of her own. She certainly was not portrayed as the goody two shoes woman I hate so much in the Grey series. This is indeed less nauseating than EL James Grey trilogy, but nope, I will not bear the sequel to this novel no matter how crazy high the ratings would be for it. Enough of a time waster.

NIGHT by Elie Wiesel

It's true story, narrated by Eliezer of his terrifying experience during the Nazis' extermination period. The author is also a Nobel Peace Prize winner...how about that for writing on his personal observations and sufferings. There were descriptions of ghettos in the Jewish town (I think, as it sounds like it) of Sighet,  the furnace fuelled with lie children, men and women, the many nights of travel and running in freezing weather with nothing to eat for days and so on. I chose to read this as I was interested to see things from first hand narration of a survivor. I suppose his motivation is just to share the sufferings of his fellow people. But I think I also read or at least read between the lines somewhere in the early part the book, of his intention for mankind to not ever forget the gruesome experience of the Jews.....on this, I cannot say I like very much.

Fifty Shades Freed

Weeeee, I finally completed the trilogy. I can now continue living my life normally, minus the occasional mind boggling humungous effort not to be furious at a fictional character by the name of Anastasia super bitch Steel. This book is definitelyva page turner, I couldnt wait to get to the part that Jack Hyde or anyone at all succeeded in causing tremendous pain on that good for nothing girl. But I just kept on being frustrated. So, after about 7 days of skipping the pages with numerous scenes which make her the object of my gigantic nauseating hate, I got to last page. Yeah, there are several scenes of sweet love,..lame. I think it is just too extremely sickening to think that one can be as lucky as her. Her saving her virginity till after 20 does not entitle her to such great fortune and out of the world wonderful perfect man.

No, I am not always one who would not be able to appreciate a nice love story. A lovely lady and a wonderful man who deserves each othe and falls madly in love through thick and thin is actually very much my cup of tea. But this monster bitch is just not playing fair. What ever amazing achievement she managed is done by opening her shirt buttons or putting a superbly pretentious purr.

Glad the torment is over. And rather glad I came across this series. Makes me define the types I really cant like; of non-deserving prentending to be innocent but selfish gold digger.

Pagan Passions

Written or published in 1958, a story of Earth sometime in the future with Greek Gods having something to do with the governance. From the title one would expect some level of sex scenes, but this is actually rather implicit. It is quite ok I guess, different from the usual narrations of love, hate and somewhere in between. I actually don't quite get the ending.

A little princess

This is an ebook by Frances Hodgson Burnett downloaded via my account with free-ebooks. I find this narration quite moving. There's the happy ending of Sara Crewe, the orphaned girl, who lastly was embraced into a rich and loving man. But I still wish for the happy ending to be a surprise, Sara's father actually did not die and would get back to London to claim his daughter. This for me would make Sara's much happier.

Fifty shades Darker

I've finished the damned book in less than a week. Oh my, I think this is indeed the book I hate most, it's too damned nauseating. I just went on reading it hoping that the bloody bitch will be murdered or something really terrible befallen her. I dont remember ever being so sick of any other antagonists or protagonists in all the books I have read all my life. Feel like writing a very nasty email....

I cant believe such a character can exist in real life. I tjink James must know too, and she must know the kind of hate readers especially women would have for Anastasia.  I think many readers would actually stop after 10 or 20 pages, unable to bear their disgust towards the goody-two-shoes-good for nothing but unspeakable lust girl. Gray and his ex-subs were the way they were because of the horrible circumstances they had to endure in their younger age. But she, what excuse could she have for being that spoilt. She really deserves to be stoned to death.

Fifty shades of grey

I've finished reading this unique narration by E. L. James in just a few days. It has been ages since I last managed to do this feat of concentrating on a paperback for less than many months. In fact, I only started reading it about 2 or 3 months after I purchased the trilogy. The novel is definitely arresting to put it mildly. I never dreamt of it being with explicit sex scenes and bondage deyails when I bought it. Only after about half way of reading did I actually screened at the back page and saw that it's categorized "erotic romance." :)

I was thinking just couple of hours ago when I thought I was at the peak of the excitement, that this man E L James is really good. The way he describes Anastasia's inner thoughts, revelayions, contradictions, it's really bullseye.

Only after I slowly finished reading the book have I actually read the author introduction on the vrry first page and knew that EL James is a happily married eoman and a mum of two. Ahh, I should have known.  Really I feel, only a woman would be able to describe confusion the way this novel has.

I am quite jealous no doubt of Anastasia, for being the seemingly stupid girl who eould be able to get an enigma like Cristian to eat from her hand. I cant help but thinking of the character of Vega in Victorious, playing innocent child, but dressed sexy, walked and moved her hips as if dancing naked at the love pole, all the way giving the come undress and fuck me now look on her face, the biggest pain in the ass and my most hated type of a bitch. But Ana really coaxed me back to liking her towards the end by putting up a fairly strong "I must not do this If I dont want to" attitude.

I am so going to start on the second book now.....

Anathema-Book One in the Cloud Prophet Trilogy

This one piece written by Megg Jensen I read on wattpad. Not a bad one, in fact quite interesting for me as the subject matter differs from the common ones that I know of. It's the story of Reychel, a slave girl with powerful magical power of reading the clouds.

Angels and Demons

Within this month of August, managed to finish Dan Brown's Angels and Demons on Aldiko reader. Became interested to read after watching the movie on Astro. Thought of getting clearer perspective on the author's descriptions on Illuminatus, pope related matters and Vatican City insides. There were quite a lot of twists differing between the novel and the movie. Most surprising difference, Langdon was with the Camerlegno in the copter with the antimatter canister flying heavenward, but in the movie Langdon was on the ground with Vittoria and the many thousands of spectators in awe at St Peter's. In my opinion, the novel was more exhilirating.

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

How amazing. I actually managed to complete this sweet novel of 555 pages on my HTC Flyer's Reader App. Have been seeing this title in the top lists of most popular read but never had the opportunity to actually commit to read. Jane's life has been a truly heart rending one. Sad early childhood, her narration of being bullied by her cousins made my blood boil, gosh, there were times when I really felt like giving the spoilt brat John some good slappings. I think her enduring 8 years at the spiteful Mr Brocklehurst's Lowood institution for young girls has indeed crystallised her perceptions about life. Most interesting read for me would be the several chapters of how Jane persisted being head strong, firm and all the way motivated by her deep love for her Master Edward Rochester surviving and maintaining calm through the choking weeks of being brain washed and courted by her handsome cousin St. John for her to marry him and travel with him for missionary work to India. Definitely a worthy read of a classical novel.

Cimmerian Shade

Finished reading this refreshing story on Wattpad....a romantic narration in the time of slavery.
