Jinx

Posted : 1 year, 7 months ago on 7 April 2008 04:10 (A review of Jinx)

I liked this book, it was a fun read. However as a long time fan of her work, I just don't think it was up to her usual standards.

I would recommend reading her Mediator or 1-800 books instead...

The Dark Hills Divide: The Land of Elyon

Posted : 1 year, 7 months ago on 7 April 2008 04:07 (A review of The Dark Hills Divide: The Land of Elyon, Book 1)

I think I'm going to like this series! Not the best children's book I've ever read, but I like the heroine. She's not your normally do good girl. Alexa is sneaky and wise beyond her years.

I'll get the next one from the library.

Portrait in Death

Posted : 1 year, 7 months ago on 7 April 2008 03:57 (A review of Portrait in Death (In Death))

Portrait in Death is one of the best books of the series!

I love the In Death books. I,m about in the middle of the series now, and I have to admit they were becoming a little formulaic. (Not that there is anything wrong with this formula, but the last book Purity in Death was a little disappointing.)

However, this book was a wonderful change of pace. To be honest the mystery/case is not important to me in this book. There is some real character development in here and it's all about Roarke! He learns something new that changes his perception of his past and he doesn't handle it well. Like Eve says in the book - it was nice to see him "screw up now and again."

RURUTIA - R

Posted : 1 year, 7 months ago on 4 April 2008 05:06 (A review of R)

RURUTIA's first album!

Tracklist
1. Elements
2. Chie no Mi (Fruit of Wisdom)
3. Itoshigo yo (Beloved Child)
4. Lost Butterfly
5. Akai Rousoku (Red Candle)
6. Ame no Hate (The end of the rain)
7. Boku no Uchuu Kimi no Umi (My cosmos, Your sea)
8. Bokura no Hakoniwa (Our Miniature Garden)

I know it sounds a little cheesy, but I find RURUTIA's music almost magical. Her vocals are beautiful almost haunting...

My favorite track on this album is Lost Butterfly.

Bleach Vol 1

Posted : 1 year, 7 months ago on 2 April 2008 01:58 (A review of Bleach: Volume 01 (Strawberry and The Soul Reapers))

Ichigo is a boy that sees ghost. One night he meets a girl that changes his world...

This is a great book and I highly recommend it! It has great action, humor and characters. Bleach is one of those series where a reader can find something to like every character. Ichigo is the hero, but he is supported by many people.
