“To go around the world…in such a short time and with the means of transport currently available, was not only impossible, it was madness.”
One ill-fated evening at the Reform Club, Phileas Fogg rashly bets his companions £20,000 that he can travel around the entire globe in just eighty days – and he is determined not to lose. Breaking the well-establised routine of his daily life, the reserved Englishman immediately sets off for Dover, accompanied by his hot-blooded French manservant Passepartout. Travelling by train, steamship, sailing boat, sledge and even elephant, they must overcome storms, kidnappings, natural disasters, Sioux attacks and the dogged Inspector Fix of Scotland Yard – who believes that Fogg has robbed the Bank of England – to win the extraordinary wager.
Join Fogg and Passepartout as they travel around the world. We’ll visit many corners of the world, see some incredible sights, learn about places many of us will never get to go, and earn points and badges. But watch out for detours along the way. If they slow you down too much you might not make it in time!
Little Girl Lost
Little Girl Lost by Carol Wyer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
What can I say…this book was AMAZING!
So good I could not put it down, started it this afternoon, and finished it this evening. I can not believe this is Carols first attempt at a thriller. If this is what she starts with, then I expect that this is only the beginning of a wonderful literary ride.
DI Robyn Cater starts the case as private eye, who is headed back to the police force after the love of her life is killed. Tasked to find a missing man, Robyn ends up finding victim after victim. Back at the force, she takes the case full on, now that she has the resources she finally seems to be making a head way.
Meanwhile Abigail seems to have the perfect life…until she starts receiving disturbing messages and emails, accusing her of keeping secrets. Someone seems to know where she is and what she is doing at all times….and even has some dirt on her husband….and the evidence….why it seems to all disappear.
The connection behind Lucas and Abigail’s past is about to become all to real.
The Damselfly
The Damselfly by S.J.I. Holliday
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
When I first received this book, as I was leary about it being a #3 in series, which I didn’t realise at the time. However it works as standalone, only a few minor things that I may have missed…guess that just means I should probably start from begining now.
I would have rated this a 3.5, as it is Almost a 4 star book for me..but of course Goodreads hasn’t gotten to adding those half stars yet.
A Small town, where everyone knows everyone , and a Detective who, once upon a time lived there, and has come back, make this story what it is.
A loner, brilliant teenager, is found dead one morning in her bed, and everyone is a suspect. The different story lines leading to her death, make you scratch your head few times to try and figure out who indeed is the killer….and the killer, will in fact surprise you!… (no spoilers for you…)
Note to the wise, never move to Banktoun. I don’t know how people make to through adulthood in that town.
TheUnnamed Midwife
The Book of the Unnamed Midwife by Meg Elison
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
The Book of the Unnamed Midwife is really a hard book from me to rate. I could have rated it SOOOOO much higher, which just a few changes in the story.
Right from the first page, the author brought me into the story. A group of young people must scribe the Book of the Unnamed Midwife, as they scribe we here the story. However about halfway through, we start reading things that are unknown…meaning they just switch POV to tell another persons story. I did enjoy the stories, but IF you are scribing a book, which is the premises of story…then we wouldn’t really know what happened to these people. At the end there was a collection of different stories, which is totally fine…but this should have been done with the “extra, in between” stories to, in order to make it flow correctly.
The story of a Plague that wipes out more then half the population, most women during childbirth, and how they have to overcome the hard life of having only a handful of women in the world was a truly wonderful tale. The book is mostly about one woman who pretends to be a man in order to survive. Having come from a medical back ground she tries to sell her medical expertise for food and other goods, avoiding people (men) at all cost. She tries to help a number of women who conceive during this change, only to lose the children, and sometimes the mothers.
It takes years before anyone is able to conceive a child that lives past a few days. The book being Scribed in honor of she, who remains unnamed.
Eterna Files
The Eterna Files by Leanna Renee Hieber
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
I would say that this was almost a 3 star book, but I just couldn’t push myself to rate it that high.
The beginning really drew me in, the first 25% of the book really got me hooked and wanting to know what was going on.
The other 75% made me just want to put the book down. Way to many talking scenes, with not much really going on.
A tiff between the Americans and British was a good premises, considering that they were fighting over how to figure out immortality. The “team”, was kind of lame, and of course they had to throw in the mix up of twin brothers, which has been done a few times too many.
And the love triangle wasn’t that interesting either. The main “lover ” dies, but she is in love with her guardian, and then the twin brother of the “lover” appears, and she thinks it’s her lover….(sigh).
