School is a bitch!

Been awfully busy. Class after class after class. Why am I doing this to myself? Anyway, I managed to finish some books, like:
Weird” by (somewhat I can’t find her name! Edited,a week later: her name is Liz Maverick) is a Sci-Fi romance and has the format of a computer game, a little confusing because there are several versions of reality and you keep jumping from one to another. Every chapter is like: beep! Game over! Reset! Now start over! Anyway the cover design reminded me of computer games and Japanese anim.
Then “The Jane Austen book club” by Karen Joy Fowler took a couple of my days. I didn’t like it that much, not the characters, and not the format. The connection to Austen’s books was very weak and the story dull. What the movie is going to look like, I wonder!
From Nightwalkers series by Jacquelyn Frank “Gideon” was great. The demon/ Healer Gideon has been in love with the king’s little sister, but now with the dark-magic users close by and demons community peace jeopardized; he has to play more political roles. But he will win the heart of his fair maiden at the end.
Two books from Raintree series, “Raintree: Inferno” by Linda Howard, is the story of the king and the oldest Raintree siblings Dante. The last book “Raintree: Sanctuary” by Beverly Barton, is the story of Mercy and her daughter. I loved Hunted, liked Inferno, and tolerated the Sanctuary! It says a lot about the three authors!
What else? Yeah, been reading “Witch in the House” by Jenna Mcknight. The love story of Jade (one of the three widowed witches of a small town). The detective, who is sent to investigate the disappearance of Jade’s husband, falls in love with her. Question is: is it real love or is it due to a spell Jade did right before opening the door? Nice story, really liked it!
Then “A girl like Moi” by Lisa Barham and Sujean Rim, adventures of Imogene, a teenage fashionista. Very nice, especially all those clothes and shoes. The book has cute illustrations too.
Not too shabby for a week full of classes, Huh?
