Violet Eyes

Just finished this book. Its cute and I will admit a bit cheesy BUT HEY, who doesn't like cheese!? Its a retelling of "The Princess and the Pea" and I dont remember that story much but I still remember hearing it when I was little. This book is about a girl who lives on a farm with her parents. One day they find a man on their land who is unconsious and they take care of him. Nursing him back to health. They eventaully find out that he is the Prince Henery who infact is to be wed to another princess (of which he doesn't know) within the coming week. And ofcourse Violet falls in love with the Prince and trys her hardest to prove that she is the one that should marry the Prince.

All around a good chick flick book. And fyi I read this book in a day.

I read this book a while ago and I have to admit I was a little suprized with this it. Its not one that I will buy but it was a fun read.
A sweeping fantasy chronicling a courageous girl’s fight for freedom in a world ravaged by war and religious fanaticism.


Zahira is a young woman of the conquered Rua people, their country occupied by another, very different culture – the Sedorne. Zahira is an orphan and has been raised to despise and distrust the occupying population, as well as to be a devout follower of the native religion. But everything changes for Zahira when her home and foster family are destroyed and she finds out some shocking truths about her heritage and real family. Realizing that it is up to her to do something about the violence and upheaval that are tearing her country apart, she must learn to accept her Sedorne origins and try to bridge the gap between the warring cultures. But when her own people suspect her of treachery for her ideas – especially after she saves the life of a Sedorne nobleman and begins to fall in love – the epic task ahead of her seems insurmountable...

Both are good books but not good enough for me to want to run out and buy them. Thats why I'm glad the library has such a great selection of books!! I will recommend getting them from the library but unfortunatly not for buying, but thats just my personal opinnion.

Incarceron

"Imagine a living prison so vast that it contains corridors and forests, cities and seas. Imagine a prisoner with no memory, who is sure he came from Outside, even though the prison has been sealed for centuries and only one man, half real, half legend, has ever escaped.

Imagine a girl in a manor house in a society where time has been forbidden, where everyone is held in a seventeenth century world run by computers, doomed to an arranged marriage that appals her, tangled in an assassination plot she both dreads and desires.
One inside, one outside
But both imprisoned.
Imagine a war that has hollowed the moon, seven skullrings that contain souls, a flying ship and a wall at the world's end.
Imagine the unimaginable.
Imagine Incarceron." -- by Catherine Fisher

I read this book and I have to admit at first I wasn't sure if it would be a good read BUT even though I was uncertain of it, it kept me reading! The reason for that is because there are these two story lines of two different people and you have NO idea how they connect! It was a good read, but probably one that I'm not going to own.
