    Oh no, that's quite a lie to tell. But somehow I have a feeling he's actually lying now... I still haven't read anything by Kagawa, but I'll have to get on it! And I hope you have a good holiday later this month! Thanks for sharing :) Hope you have a great weekend!

    I haven't heard of this book but I like the simplicity of the sentence. I'll have to look for the author.

    Whoa - I think any response I would have to such a statement would include expletives. Eek! Love the cover though.

    I don't think he was expecting her to say those words.

    I'm guessing that he isn't really lying and really DOES want to start over.

    So what does he want?

    I've never read any of Kagawa's books but the raves ....!

    This came recommended to me. Hope to pick it up soon. I wonder if he's lying now too!

The Invisible Man

What you can't see can hurt you. Trapped in a violent, controlling relationship with a wealthy scientist, Cecilia (Elisabeth Moss) escapes in the dead of night and disappears into hiding. But when her abusive ex suddenly dies, Cecilia suspects his death was a hoax. As a series of eerie coincidences turns lethal, threatening the lives of those she loves, Cecilia's sanity begins to unravel while she desperately tries to prove she is being hunted by someone nobody can see. 


REVIEW:
I sorta hated the beginning.
Starts outs so dark that you can't really make anything out. Hard to know what's going on if you can't see.
It doesn't take long to get light though.
Thankfully.
Man, does the story ever pick up after that. I don't remember much about the original but this one is intense. Right to the very last second too.
Sydney is badass and shows it throughout. Can you imagine what it would be like if everyone thought you were o…

In the mythical continent of Westeros, several powerful families fight for control of the Seven Kingdoms. As conflict erupts in the kingdoms of men, an ancient enemy rises once again to threaten them all. Meanwhile, the last heirs of a recently usurped dynasty plot to take back their homeland from across the Narrow Sea.
This is the eighth and final season.



REVIEW: I loved the whole series, but especially loved this season as it wrapped it all up.  There were a couple of moments that were so incredibly tragic, but also a couple moments where the most tragic things couldn't have happened to better people. Take Sussy for example. God, how I hated that woman through the whole show and couldn't wait for her to get what was coming to her. Did she get it here? You have to watch and see! This is the season where you will sit on the edge of your seat, waiting to see who will win the kingdom. Does your favorite character prevail above the others? MIne d…
