The Cruel Prince by Holly Black Short Review

The Cruel Prince by Holly Black
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a great start to an intriguing story. I hope the rest of the series will hold up to this opener.
I especially liked the lore building that Black has weaved through the plot. I am not familiar with all the traditional lore of the fae but it felt like she drew on it rather than creating a new tradition that made this new tale feel like it was set in a familiar and loved world. Really enjoyed this and will be recommending it to others.

April Book Photo Challenge Day 7 Socially Awkward Character

I have two favorite socially awkward characters that I just couldn't split and I just relised that they sit together on a shelf.

Dirk Gently knows so much and can read so much into everything that people miss judge him to be socially awkward. Abit like Sherlock Holmes but without the class. I use one of his phrases all the time when I'm doing bugger all and people think I'm smart; "What are you doing?" I'm making a topographic map of my navel" It a great way to shirk people off without them feeling like they are being shirked off.

I love Rincewind. I have loved Rincewind for as long as I can remeber. His pathological fear of just about anything has never stopped the world from inflicting his destiny on him wheather he is having fun or not, usually not. He knows he is socially awkward and would just like to left along but the rest of the world and even some magic spells don't notice or just don't care. Good thing he is a wizard otherwise he might have to deal with the oppiste sex too.

I love these two and have taken on board a lot of their traits over the years. They have a special place in my heart.   

April Book Photo Challenge Day 6 Book and Animals

"Nothing cracks a turdle like Leon Uris"  Does this count? (You can't tell me you didn't just read that in Cletus' voice!)

No, but seriously. The only animal I have is my fur baby Colin and he loves books! I have caught him licking books in the library a few times, thats why he is not allowed in there when one is home. But who couldn't love this face?

Or this:

Of course that is why he gets away with so much.

April Book Photo Challenge Day 4 1990's

The Tales From The Wyrd Museum series by Robin Jarvis published in the 90's

I have a weakness for second hand books and this often leaves me in the predicament of getting the first book in a series and looking for the rest for, I think I'm going on for a decade, later. I picked up the first one and was completely taken and have yet to find the second book in the series. The Fatal Stand  on top there is the 3rd in the series...... unbelievably frustrating. But I just can't help thinking the second book it out there somewhere I I am ment to rescue it.
