Lord of Shadows (The Dark Artifices #2) - Cassandra Clare
Rating: 5 stars
I officially don't care about how I felt about her first series - I am officially a hardcore Shadowhunter fangirl. CASSIE CLARE OWNS MY SOUL. I am there for all of her books. Her first series was...well her first series. The fact that every series and collection of short stories is better than her last is a sign of being a good writer (incidentally, how I feel about Maggie Stiefvater as well). If you haven't read any of Cassandra Clare's books or even if you tried her first series and it wasn't for you, I highly recommend trying this series!

The Bone Doll's Twin (Tamír Triad #1) by Lyn Flewelline
Rating: 5 stars
This somehow manages to take a tired hero/savior trope and make it feel completely fresh. It's got really interesting world building and Flewelline manages to pack in so much of it with showing not telling or infodumping which can be really challenging to do given how in depth the world building gets here. It also has a really cool character set up that I won't spoil, but color me intrigued and invested. I'll definitely be trying to get my hands on book two!

The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul (Dirk Gently #2) by Douglas Adams
Rating: 3.5
Sadly, I think this one suffered because I had to keep starting and stopping the book and I never tend to enjoy books as much as they deserve when that happens. That being said, for some completely unknown reason I was expecting a little more continuity from the first book (again...no idea why I would expect that. It's not like Douglas Adams showed much in the way of continuity with Hitchhiker's Guide!). I'm a little sad now...I've officially read all of Douglas Adams' novels. Nothing will ever top Hitchhiker's for me, but I might try this series again and see if I have better luck if I read it in one sitting.
I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again.
