READING. RANTING. RAVING.
“I have lived a thousand lives and I’ve loved a thousand loves. I’ve walked on distant worlds and seen the end of time. Because I read.”

“... we all have demons inside us, voices that whisper we’re no good, that if we don’t make this promotion or ace that exam we’ll reveal to the world exactly what kind of worthless sacks of skin and sinew we really are.” Start Date : August 29, 2016 End Date : September 3, 2016 Actual Rating : 3.8 / 5 The story follows Lo Blacklock's first assignment in covering a high-end luxury ship for the travel magazine she works for. The excitement is quickly eclipsed by a home invasion that leaves her feeling violated and vulnerable. Instead of backing out of the assignment, she believes this is the perfect chance for her to temporarily escape life and chance to experience the "good life". Everything is going great until she hears a scream in the night and a splash. Her anxiety heightens when the woman she believes to be the victim has never existed according to everyone else on board.

"It's not that things don't make sense to her when she's like this — sometimes they make 'more' sense. They make sense the way dreams do. It's only when the dream is over that you see how odd it all was, how it actually didn't make sense at all." Start Date : August 29, 2016 End Date : September 3, 2016 Actual Rating : 4.7 / 5 I was looking at pre-order price of Empire of Storms at Barnes and Noble when I noticed that it has already made their best sellers list. I went ahead and checked the other books on their list and two of them caught my interest. I was extremely intrugued by the premise that you don't really know anyone ... Even those closest to you. The story starts of in a party with two couples, one pair are the hosts (Cynthia and Graham) that welcomed the first time parents (Anne and Marco) into their home. It seems everyone was drunk but only Cynthia and Marco are the ones enjoying the party. So after much introspection, Anne decided she has enough and would like to go home next door to their baby Cora. With Marco following her lead, they went home to an unlocked front door and an empty baby crib. |
