The Time Traveler's Wife Book Review

I'm a little behind on posts, but I'm working on catching up, I promise!

This is a copy of the review of The Time Traveler's Wife I posted on to Google Books:

As a club we read The Time Travelers Wife in July 2015. This is a story of a man with a genetic disorder that causes him to travel in and out of time. It is a love story that starts for her when she is 6 and he is 36, but it doesn't start for him until she is 22 and he is 28. I enjoyed this story very much. Niffenegger uses foreshadowing a new and very interesting way that allowed emotions to be felt through anticipation and shock. I was amazed by the writing. However, there were many points that were just uninteresting or really didn't have anything to do with the story that just took away from the overall telling. I gave this story three stars, not because it wasn't good, but because it wasn't great.

Beautiful Creatures Review & Movie Viewing Announcement

If you have been following us on Twitter (@FIBookClub), you will have noticed that we already announced the viewing time for Beautiful Creatures. We will watch it tomorrow, June 30 at 6pm PST.

I've finished this month's book, Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. Have you finished it yet? Are you ready for the movie?

This is a copy of the review I posted on to Google Books:

As a club we read Beautiful Creatures in June 2015. This is a quick, fun read that takes place in a quiet little town in the South. Well, not as quiet as it would have you believe. In a town known for having no secrets, it would seem that secrets abound.

The premise of this story is fun and interesting, though I'll admit I probably won't keep reading the series, as it is pretty predictable. The main characters are connected telepathically even before they meet, and secrets become their way of life when they do finally meet.

I would have to say that this book sits comfortably in the Young Adult Paranormal Romance genre, however, I will admit that it was nice to have a romance from the male's point of view for a change. I didn't really connect with the main characters, I was much more interested in the stories of the supporting characters, which is always odd for a book! I can't wait to watch the movie.

Pride & Prejudice Review

I've finished this month's book, Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austin. Have you finished it yet?

This is a copy of the review I posted on to Google Books:

As a club we read Pride & Prejudice in May 2015. Personally, I've read it at least five times. It is one of my favorite stories. A classic, and used as an inspiration for so many other stories.

Pride & Prejudice is a historical fiction romantic comedy. In this one novel, Jane Austin tells numerous stories of love and courtship. She writes of how love can grow so slowly you don't even know it happened. How it can be a spark that lights a burning fire from the moment you meet someone. And, that love and marriage do not always go hand-in-hand. Some marry for comfort; some marry because they want to be married - not necessarily in love.

I believe that this novel has held its popularity for so long because Austin allows there to be many reasons for love. Everyone is able to relate with the story, and everyone wants to have a love as deep as Elizabeth's and Darcy's, as passionate as Jane and Bingley's, and as comfortable as Charlotte and Collins'.

If you haven't read the book, do so. If you have, then do it again. I always find sometime new and wonderful between those pages.
