The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

　
Audrey Niffenegger's innovative debut, The Time Traveler's Wife, is the story of Clare, a beautiful art student, and Henry, an adventuresome librarian, who have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was thirty-six, and were married when Clare was twenty-three and Henry thirty-one. Impossible but true, because Henry finds himself periodically displaced in time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity from his life, past and future. His disappearances are spontaneous, his experiences unpredictable, alternately harrowing and amusing.

The Time Traveler's Wife depicts the effects of time travel on Henry and Clare's marriage and their passionate love for each other, as the story unfolds from both points of view. Clare and Henry attempt to live normal lives, pursuing familiar goals - steady jobs, good friends, children of their own. All of this is threatened by something they can neither prevent nor control, making their story intensely moving and entirely unforgettable.

I am on page 59 of 536 and I already love this book. I have so many hilarious quotes/lines to share when I'm done. I know Rachel McAdams is cast as Clare in the movie version and I 100% agree with that choice. Rachel is the perfect Clare, in my honest opinion. I love Rachel and I love Clare. She's so fiesty and clever. And understanding and smart. I've yet to get a good grasp on Henry but his point of view is witty, too. Most of the lines I've gathered are from his POV. But, yes, I love this book. I can't wait to finish it and then go watch the movie.

Definitely Dead by Charlaine Harris

Sixth in the Anthony Award-winning Southern Vampire series.

Spiked with a frothy fusion of romance, mystery, and fantasy, this bestselling series sends the supernaturally gifted cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse to New Orleans, where she has to deal with the legacy of one of her own family and a host of potentially dangerous characters.

I have yet to start this but I will today. I've read the first 5 books of this series already and I loved them. Before I picked this book up from my library, I'd been waiting 3 weeks to get it, lol. Other people had it on hold before me and there was a freaking waiting list. The 7th book is still on hold, too. I think I'm number 5 on the list now. I know I'll go through this fast. I start reading and can't stop.

The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger


A dazzling novel in the most untraditional fashion, this is the remarkable story of Henry DeTamble, a dashing, adventuresome librarian who travels involuntarily through time, and Clare Abshire, an artist whose life takes a natural sequential course. Henry and Clare's passionate love affair endures across a sea of time and captures the two lovers in an impossibly romantic trap, and it is Audrey Niffenegger's cinematic storytelling that makes the novel's unconventional chronology so vibrantly triumphant.

An enchanting debut and a spellbinding tale of fate and belief in the bonds of love, The Time Traveler's Wife is destined to captivate readers for years to come.





I literally just started this, so I don't really have anything to say about it so far but I have wanted to read this for quite a while. I've heard plenty of people talk about this book- how much they loved it, how amazing it was and how they would recommend it to everyone they came into contact with. I think the movie gave me a jump start. I loathe watching movies that came from books without reading the book first. I want to watch the movie, because I love Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams, so I picked up the book at the library so I could read it first. I did it with Twilight and the Harry Potter books, too.

Once I get into the book I'll add a quick post. Also, a review for Passion Unleashed by Larissa Ione will be up soon. That's all for the Demonica series until January when the 4th book comes out. I'm hoping to start reading and reviewing some YA books now.

I totally didn't get a chance to post about me reading Desire Uncahined by Larissa Ione, lol. I read it at the hospital and finished it late last night. Oh well.


I am currenly reading Passion Unleashed by Larissa Ione.





Forbidden Temptations

Serena Kelley is an archaeologist and treasure hunter—and a woman with a secret. Since she was seven, she’s been the keeper of a powerful charm that grants her health and immortality . . . as long as she stays a virgin. But Serena isn’t all that innocent. And when a dangerously handsome stranger brings her to the brink of ecstasy, she wonders if she’s finally met the one man she cannot resist.

Fatal Desires

Wraith is a Seminus demon with a death wish. But when an old enemy poisons him, he must find Serena and persuade her to give him the only known antidote in the universe—her charm. Yet, as she begins to surrender to his seductions, and Wraith senses the cure is within his grasp, he realizes a horrible truth: he’s falling for the woman whose life he must take in order to save his own.



I actually haven't started reading it, yet. I started to but I forgot I had domestic things to do today. Gag! I knew that if i started this book, I wouldn't stop so I had to get the other stuff out of the way first. I have really high hopes for this book. For two books I've read about Wraith, his issues, his fights, his scars and his past. BUT, it's always been from Eidolon or Shade that we got those tid bits. I'm READY to here it from Wraith. I'm SO ready to read about him in depth and follow his sure to be rollercoaster romance. Wraith is probably my favorite brother, with Shade a close second, and I'm excited to get to know him better.

I'm actually really bad a writing reviews, if you can believe it. I never write reviews. I can talk a person's ear off about a book and give them every little detail about it, but I suck at writing reviews. However, for the sake of having a blog that will be about books, I will try to write a few.


I won't try to review any of the past books I've read unless I have to but I will do it for the books I am currently reading and my future books. FYI- I'll be posting a book list of all the books I've read in 2009, so if anyone wants a review for any of those books just let me know and I'll post about it. That will be later though.


For now, I am currently reading:

















Pleasure Unbound by Larissa Ione

In a place where ecstasy can cost you your life...

She's a demon-slayer who hungers for sensual pleasure-but fears it will always be denied her. Until Tayla Mancuso lands in a hospital run by demons in disguise, and the head doctor, Eidolon, makes her body burn with unslakable desire. But to prove her ultimate loyalty to her peers, she must betray the surgeon who saved her life.

Two lovers will dare to risk all.

Eidolon cannot resist this fiery, dangerous woman who fills him with both rage and passion. Not only is she his avowed enemy, but she could very well be the hunter who has been preying upon his people. Torn between his need for the truth and his quest to find his perfect mate before a horrific transformation claims him forever, Eidolon will dare the unthinkable-and let Tayla possess him, body and soul...


My thought so far are after the jump.
