Life and Death (Booktober)

"And so the lion fell in love with the lamb ..."

If you don't see at least ONE pass of foggy Forks, Washington during the autumn months, then you probably are living under a rock. Twilight hit the shelves waaay back when and became an instant hit - and a decade later Stephenie Meyer decided to switch things up a little, which is how Beau and Edythe came along. Not without its challenges, this book does continue the trend of murky views, pale, sparkly vampires, and teenagers intent on living forever, but it's a completely stand-alone novel (that COULD still be expanded into sequels, however).

And for some reason, I kind of prefer this version to the original.
 

When Beaufort Swan moves to the gloomy town of Forks and meets the mysterious, alluring Edythe Cullen, his life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. With her porcelain skin, golden eyes, mesmerizing voice and supernatural gifts, Edythe is both irresistible and enigmatic. 

What Beau doesn't realize is the closer he gets to her, the more he is putting himself and those around him at risk. And it might be too late to turn back ...

Tome Thursday: The Choice

Hello everyone!

I'm back with some more Nicholas Sparks fodder!

Because, you know, after I've read a million or so happily ever after books, or even those with a semi-happily ever after, I tend to get a bit weird and I pick up the old faithful again.

Which, in this case, means Mr. Sparks.

Let's be honest with ourselves, you don't reach for a Nicholas Sparks book because you want to read about true love or sexy beach encounters or even a romance in the stars.

You turn to this particular author when you're suffering from some form of chronic happiness and yo therefore need his stories to a) remind you that love hurts; b) to make sure your heart is never whole again for a period of time; and c) to ensure that you always come back for more, because, really, he's just that good.

Yeah, I'm waxing poetry, and I actually do like the guy. He writes incredibly realistic stories and is an amazing narrator, which only serves to keep me hooked. 

Regardless of the heartache.

Saturday Snippet: Bookshelf Tour, part 4

Hello everyone!

To the relief of some ( = P ) this will be the last bookshelf tour post for a while, even though this really is only the first of many shelves I have going along one whole wall in my room. To be honest though, I might actually do a DVD tour at some other point because I seem to have a rather large number of those, too ...

You get the idea.
