Book Reviews

Ok, I'm actually going to do a quick book review in here as I don't want to forget anything. I'm still reading the last in Libba Bray's series but in between (or instead of ) I've read these two:

Ivy by Julie Hearn
***
This book was surprisingly interesting. Her use of accent was very interesting in the time period. The characters weren't so much lovable as they were curious. The plot wasn't totally engrossing but enough to make you want to know more. What I really loved was the creative tie to history with actual reference to known painters. Other than that, the book was good but I wouldn't recommend it really.

Dragon Actually by G. A. Aiken
****
This one was recommended to me by a friend. I've spent so much time reading young adult novels it was definitely a change to read this. The guys called it my "dragon porn" book. No, there was no actual bestiality or anything but it was kinda an adventure/romance... with a dragon that could turn human who falls in love with a human. And yes, there was a lot of sex.
Still, it was very entertaining and I found myself laughing a lot. I will definitely be getting the rest in this series.
