TRB - September & October 2016

So i've been watching lots of booktube videos lately and this is partially inspired by the TBR shame tags. So this is a total list of novels I have set aside to read. I doubt I will get through them all in the next couple of months. But a girl can dream right?
This is also somewhat of a book ban, as I want to get these done before I start adding to this list.


  1. Deceptions and Betrayal, Kelley Armstrong, Cainsville 3 & 4
  2. The Thirst 1 - 5, Christopher Pike
  3. Frankenstein 1 2 3, Dean Koontz
  4. The Complete Vampire Chronicles (12 books!), Anne Rice
  5. Finders Keepers & End Game, Stephen King
  6. The Millenium Trilogy, Stieg Larson *aka The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
  7. Night Huntress Novels 4, 5, 6, Jeaniene Frost
So a total of 30 books, and it looks more like 10 on the shelf because most of them are in box sets or omnibuses 
Yes I know this list isn't insanely long, but I never keep to many books around or else I start to feel overwhelmed and read nothing at all. So that little anxiety keeps me from having piles and piles of unread books.

Series Review - Odd Thomas (Part 1) SPOILERS!




Odd Thomas 
Dean Koontz 


Mystery/Supernatural/Paranormal
7 Novels







*Read on audiobook by David Thomas Baker

The first three novels in this series where a roller coaster for me, ranging from distaste all the way through to absolute adoration. These are the first books I have read by Dean Koontz although many of his novels (most notably the Frankenstein series) have been on my TBR much longer than the Odd series. Deciding that it was time to start reading - or in this case listening - to a medium sized well reviewed series.

Top 5 Wesdnesday - Books with Multiple POVs


  1. The Help, Kathrun Stockett
  2. The Heroes of Olympus Series, Rick Riordan
  3. My Sisters Keeper, Jodi Picoult
  4. A Game of Thrones, George R Martin
  5. The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, CS Lewis
Although I have not read very many books with multiple perspectives, I do enjoy the writing style. When it is done well. I know I have stopped reading mid-book with multiple POV because the story got very confusing. 

I want to know if you ...

  1. Enjoy this style of writing?
  2. Have you read a book that transitioned badly between the multiple POVs?
