Born of Silence by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Born of Silence (The League #5) by Sherrilyn Kenyon ~V^^^^^V


WOW! I can't begin to tell you how epic this was. I mean epic in the actual definition of the word. This romance takes place over an extended period of time and a ridiculous amount of trials. Intially I thought this would be cut and dry, Zarya loves Kere, Kere loves Zarya and all will be well. Not the case at all. Things couldn't have gone more wrong and soon I wanted Darling to be with ANYONE but Zarya. I was so angry at her but I was also so angry at her cohorts. I had plenty of Oh. My. God! and gag-worthy moments. A few times I wanted to take SK by the shoulders and say "Really?" and "couldn't you maybe take that down a notch?" but I soldiered on. As the story progressed I started to see shades of Acheron in this tale but it still held its individuality. I will tell you this; if you have not read The League, you should. If you are not generally a SciFi fan, still give it a go. If you are a fan of Dark Hunters/ Acheron, read this. Lastly if you have read this series but have been holding out and are not up to date on this one; GET READING.I will be anxiously anticipating the next book due out this December. ~Michelle

H.G. WELLS

Here are a few more classics I have read and enjoyed recently. These are both H.G. Wells classics.

The War of the Worlds ~V^^^^^V

An incredible Sci Fi tale, told so well you can almost believe it really happened. The graphic portrayal of an Alien invasion, this one being from Martians, is nothing short of plausible. The scientific foresight and astronomical information made it outstanding. The only thing that I could say I didn't love was the era. Which is beyond ridiculous as it was written as contemporary at its time. I am just not all that into older time periods. But seriously this book was told so damn well I can't find words to explain my excitement. I think I will be adding The Island of Dr. Moreau to my tbr pile.

The Time Machine ~V^^^^V

AMAZING! I would like to say this book is ahead of its time but I suspect that Scientists are just stealing from it. I have heard that this book is a social commentary on how the world could be if we don't stop what we are doing as humans. However I believe it is merely an amazing story written by someone with an equally amazing imagination. The story as a whole is not only very well written, it is also completely believable if you just try. LOVED IT! Honestly I better look into some other classic SciFi books.  ~Michelle 

2001 A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clark

2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clark ~V^^^^V 

Well a big space geek like myself would find this book fascinating. While someone a little less interested in scientific space knowledge may become bored. I was completely flabbergasted by the amount of research that clearly went into this book. The basic knowledge of main spacial math, processes, and distances made this book an amazing SciFi read. So much of the data is still applicable today, it is just amazing. I guess other than gushing over and over again I will just say; if you have not read this classic yet, I would recommend it. You know, if you are into that sort of thing. ~Michelle


Side note:  The original Stanley Kubrick film adaption of this movie was just plain bizarre!
