Q: Bookselling time: Go to your biggest bookcases. Go to the second shelf on top and pick up the sixth book from the left. Now hardsell it to us. 

Tired of reading the same old stories with Mary-Sues who through innumerable obstacles, and yet manage to look sexy and do it all in a dress? Want to prepare for a future apocalypse?  Then I urge you to read:

A realistic heroine who must travel into a quarantined zone to search for her father. A love story about sacrifices. Inhuman has everything to keep you begging for more. I dare you not to read it O_O (reverse psychology + hypnotism always works) 

Top Ten Tuesday: Winter Readingland

 

Hosted by The Broke and the Bookish

TOP BOOKS FROM MY TO-READ PILE

I like to jazz it up, especially during dull and boring winter. So I picked out a horror, contemporary, classic, graphic, historical and science fiction novels. And some good plain romance. 

    

What is on your winter to-read pile?

                                                 

Review: Death Sentence

Here comes the rebellion. 

This third installment of the Escape from Furnace series continues right where the previous cliffhanger left us: Alex being abducted by the Wheezers. Worse, this time around, he is forced to join their gang as his body is mutilated with poisonous addictive injections called nectar. Alex now has super strength, and an altered physique. But will he be able to live in the outside world without the nectar?

Alex Gordon Smith did an amazing job creating havoc in Furnace by making alliances between prisoners. Sworn enemies, the 59ers and the Skulls, unite with Alex for the better good. Cast also includes Zee, Simon, and even Donovan is mentioned several times. The non-stop action pushes through page after page, making the book impossible to put down. 

Looking forward to read book four: Fugitives.

Review: Ketchup Clouds

"My guiding principle is this: Guilt is never to be doubted." Frank Kafka

Keeping her identity top secret, Zoe (not her real name), confides in a incarcerated convict because both of them know how it feels to kill the one they love. The story is told through letters and flashbacks. Introducing Max and Aaron, brothers who's destiny becomes entwined with Zoe's.

Aside from the tragic love triangle, Annabel Pitcher tackles family issues such as divorce, families with a disabled child, and butting Grandparents. Zoe is insecure yet bright; just a typical teenage girl trying to come to terms with what love really means.

Although the tension in Ketchup Clouds rises to an unsatisfactory end, put the book aside, and come back to it. You will see just how realistic the story really is.
