this week's list....

Beginnings & Endings in Books

~Beginning~
1. The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern.
- " THE CIRCUS ARRIVES without warning. No announcements precede it, no paper notices on downtown posts and billboards, no mentions or advertisements in local newspapers. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not."

2. The Mating by Nicky Charles

- There's no nothing overly interesting about this beginning but it does ensnare your attention right from the start.

3. Bound in Sin by Cynthia Eden
- "some bodies just wouldn't stay buried - No matter how much dirt you shoved on top of them. Those bodies...they just keep digging out of there graves.

And chasing a girl until She was so damn tired of running.
So tired that She'd consider trading her own soul, just for a few moments of Safety."

~Endings~

4. Dreams of Darkness by Barry James
- a seemingly perfect ending but with a little tid bit to keep you guessing.

5. The night circus by Erin Morgenstern

- You think, as you walk away from Le Cirque des Rêves and into the creeping dawn, that you felt more awake within the confines of the circus.
You are no longer quite certain which side of the fence is the dream.”

6. Wuthering heights

- "I lingered round them, under that benign sky; watched the moths fluttering among the heath, and hare-bells; listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass; and wondered how anyone could ever imagine unquiet slumbers, for the sleepers in that quiet earth."

7. Dark Summer by Lizzy Ford

- I can't remember the last time I cried so much because of a book ending.

8. Night Beach by Kristy Eagar

- it lives you with a new found contempment even tho you will never be the same.

9. Katie's Hope by Lizzy Ford

-so nail biting, I kept thinking about the ending for months.

10. Dracula by Bram Stoker

- A nail biting finish which had me on the edge of my seat.

Top Ten Tuesday #5

this week's list....

Ten Words/Topics that Make Me not pick up a Book

High School SweetHearts:

Don't get me wrong I'm a huge romance fan, I just hate sappy teen/ya romances, with there hand holding & stolen kisses...I'm not 12 for Christ sake!

Abuse:

I had a time where I read a lot of real life suviour novels, but after awhile they get quite depressing & for me bring up way too many emotions.

Relgion:

I'm an atheist & I like to think I have an open mind to everyone's beliefs but that doesn't mean I want hear someone Preach about it escpically not in books!

Chick-Lit:

I'm not 100% sure what qualifies as chick-lit but if along the lines of Sex and the City or Princess Diaries I'll avoid it at all costs.

Celebrity Memiors:

Particularly Reality TV & Pop Stars...I avoid these like the plague.

Love Triangles:
When done right they can make You feel a range of emotions, when done wrong (which is 90% of the time) they simply piss you off.

Any Mention to Twilight:

"The Next Twilight" "If You loved Twilight you'll love..." "Fans of Twilight will devour..." Aghhhhh......I hate Twilight!

Divorced Woman/Middle Age Crisis:

I'm generalizing with this term but I think you get what I mean, newly divorced middle aged woman going on some quest to find them selfs...god I can't think of anything worse!

Historical:

Not all historical novels, more Ye Old England/Medievil novels...there a major snore fest.

Crime Fiction:

It's not that I hate a bit of crime solving/mystery but a book devoveted to "finding the bad guy" is so not my thing...I read to escape not to feel miserable & reading about murder isn't a fun escape.
