Is There Truth in Fiction?

Image
This is one of the more interesting premises for a series I have run across in some time.   Set in a post-apocalyptic time it follows the story of a young girl who never knew she was anything but ordinary… come to find out she’s the savior of them all.

A 4th of July Post in April

 I have to start by saying that I have wanted to read this for some time.   I found it over a year ago and was intrigued but didn’t want to pay over $6 on a book I hadn’t heard of before.   I kept going back to it though and eventually I saw it somewhere in paperback.   That made me realize that it must also be at the library… aha! I didn’t have to pay a dime.   So off I went to my public library.

Through Glass

So everyone who read my Imdalind Series post {HERE} knows that I adore Rebecca Ethington.   She is one of the most amazing authors I’ve found in quite some time.   However, I was not as blown away by Through Glass (sorry Rebecca) as Imdalind .

Hunger Games, continued...

So now you’ve heard how I was dragged, kicking and screaming, to read these books and you are probably wondering – So what’s your assessment?   What did you think?

Bandwagons

I’m kinda weird when it comes to bandwagons.   Either I’m one of the first people on board and begging others to join… like I was with Harry Potter and now with the Imdalind Series .   OR I see a huge bandwagon and it turns me off… like I was for years with Twilight .   Now anyone who has read my blog at all probably knows what a huge Twilight fan I am now, so as you can see – even though I can sometimes be a hard sell, once I’m sold there is no going back!

Dystopia and Fairy Tales

The other day someone mentioned Divergent to me and even though I have read it before, I had to rush out and look at it again.   It’s a good book and within minutes I was re-sucked into it.
