Back to back Harry Potter. Could not get enough of the story at this point. Spoiler alert: could not believe the death in this one. I was so sad to see this character leave, but in the end of the series I still have some mixed feelings about the death. Still need to re-read the series again to get some notes once again.

Read: June 5-6, 2012 read in a couple hours pages: 63 Wow, now that was intense. Great freebie from Amazon.com  I'm not a huge fan of horror and I've never read a zombie book, so this was my first. What the short stories did very well was create tension. I was tense the entire time I read this. And it was compelling enough that they kept me reading. It was a train wreck I literally couldn't stop reading and I couldn't put it down. The worst part was silly me decided to start reading this late last night before bed because I honestly did not know what to expect. I still did not expect what I got from the stories. I feel like I'm never going to be able to get to sleep in a couple hours as it is now. The images and the descriptions of the carnage was enough to cause my skin to crawl and cause me to look over my shoulder at every little creak in the house. I'm not sure I can pick up another book like this. I recommend it though to anyone who ...

Wastes of Space by Darcy Town

Read: June 30- July 4, 2012 read in 5 days pages: 368 Wow! Now that was a excellent story! I'm 3 for 3 in contacting OUTSTANDING Indie Authors with unique voices and incredible story telling abilities!! I am so glad I stumbled upon this gem on Goodreads.com and contacted the author about reading and reviewing the book. The premise of aliens, Earth and a war caught my attention initially. I had no idea what I was in for. Looking for adventure, adrenaline, sex, lust and romance with a dash of humor? Look no further. Ms. Town has packed it all into Wastes of Space . I refuse to give details on the plot because I will not give away anything. The construction of the novel works well with the plot line and everything is revealed exactly as it should be. I admit that at least for the beginning, the build up is slow and gradual in filling in these gaps in information. This could bother some people, but let me tell you the novel is worth sticking with. You will not be disa...
