Title: Safe Haven Author: Nicholas Sparks Published: 2010 Listening to True Believer renewed my interest in Nicholas Sparks. It's not like I have fuzzy feelings toward the guy, but I was just in the mood to pick up another of his books. So I picked up this one. The story opens up on Katie. She's … Continue reading Safe Haven

True Believer
Title: True Believer Author: Nicholas Sparks Published: 2005 I know what I said after I read At First Sight. I said I was done with Nicholas Sparks. I said that I hated the man and that I was stupid for continually picking up his novels and subjecting myself to the torture of reading them. But … Continue reading True Believer
The Power of Six
Title: The Power of Six Author: Pittacus Lore Published: 2011 I actually finished reading this a few weeks ago. I've just been playing catch up when it comes to posting these book reviews. There's a lot going on. But this post isn't about how much I've been slacking on getting blog posts written and posted … Continue reading The Power of Six
I Am Number Four
Title: I Am Number Four Author: Pittacus Lore Published: 2010 I've been reading this book for a while now. I know that, for the most part, when it takes a long time to read a book, it means that the book isn't holding my attention. It isn't causing me to turn page after page to … Continue reading I Am Number Four
The Time Machine
Title: The Time Machine Author: H. G. Wells Published: 1895 I've never read this book before now. And I'm a little disappointed in myself for that fact. After all, I find the subject of time travel to be a fascinating idea. This is obvious because so many of my favorite movies and TV shows deal … Continue reading The Time Machine
The Lost World
Title: The Lost World Author: Michael Crichton Published: 1995 I never read this as a kid, unlike its predecessor, Jurassic Park. My reasoning? Because I saw the movie first and was supremely disappointed. And even though I know the book is generally better than the movie, I just couldn't bring myself to read this thing. … Continue reading The Lost World
Jurassic Park
Title: Jurassic Park Author: Michael Crichton Published: 1990 I read this when I was a kid. And as much as I've always loved the film, I thought the book was better. Even at the tender age of 11 or 12, whenever it was that I read it. I picked it up again, thinking that, as … Continue reading Jurassic Park
At First Sight
Title: At First Sight Author: Nicholas Sparks Published: 2005 I hate you, Nicholas Sparks. What is your obsession with making your readers fall in love with the characters you've created and then snatching them away like that? Do you get off on making readers miserable? Do you like it when they cry and get all … Continue reading At First Sight
The Last Command
Title: Star Wars: The Last Command Author: Timothy Zahn Published: 1993 The good guys won. The bad guys lost. All is right in the galaxy. Okay, that's an oversimplification of the events found in this novel. But that's kind of the gist of things. In this trilogy of books, Timothy Zahn does a great job … Continue reading The Last Command
Dark Force Rising
Title: Star Wars: Dark Force Rising Author: Timothy Zahn Published: 1992 Being the second part of a trilogy, this book did its job very well. It ramped up the action a bit and removed things along nicely, leaving a decent cliffhanger at the end. Like the previous installment, Heir to the Empire, I remember seeing … Continue reading Dark Force Rising
