I am currently working on my Master's Thesis, but I procrastinate by reading all the books I can! In the meantime, I have a good job with fun people.

Bonfire of the Vanities

Bonfire of the Vanities
By Tom Wolfe

Interesting. I liked how the seemingly unrelated characters all came together at the end, but I didn't like the abrupt ending.
8/10

Willow

Willow
By V.C. Andrews

Just okay. Interesting story and the first in a series so you can't expect too much! Need some questions to be answered in books 2-4. Thatcher is good though, him I like. I guess we'll see where that ends up.
7/10

The 3 Musketeers

The 3 Musketeers
By Alexandre Dumas
754p

Wow, no pretty or Hollywood endings here. Great story, full of intrigue. A classic, so really what can I say about it that hasn't already been said? But, good characters, lucky guys! Abrupt ending in some ways, which seems silly to say after such a long book!
8/10

Cordina's Royal Family: Gabriella and Alexander

Cordina's Royal Family: Gabriella and Alexander
By Nora Roberts
0373285205
507p

2 books:
Affaire Royale: I figured out who did it halfway through, still a good book. Reeve was fun, the snatches she remembered were good- not just about romance but also about her family, who would have been more important to her than the romance stuff. Very nice. 8/10
Command Performance: Good characters, again. I really like Bennett, can't wait to read his fall-in-love story, which I hope is from his point-of-view. This was from Eve's, which was fine, but being that it was supposed to be about the royal family, I would have been happy if it was from Alex's pov. 8/10
