The last book I read was Favorite Daughter Part I by Paula Margulies. I really enjoyed the book. It's historical fiction. The book is about Pocahontas, and while most books about her are written for young adults. This one is written for adults. I'd recommend it to anyone that wants to view her life a little differently.

The last book I read was a autobiography by Slash and Anthony Bozza called Slash. It was a what!..Wow did he really do that and a O.M.G how did he ever live threw that? If you don't know who slash is he was the lead guitarist and one of the founding members of both the groups Guns n roses and Velvet Revolver. Now he leds the band Slash ft Myles Kennedy and the conspirators. :D

I just finished "Gentlemen and Players" by Joanne Harris. I give it a 4/5.

Is a really interesting story, unpredictable and intense. The narrative style (narrated by two different characters) may be a little confusing at the beginning, but then it becomes easy to follow and understandable. Looking forward for a second book by this author.

The 100 by Kass Morgan 3/5

A futuristic young adult science fiction. It's a good read but too much romance instead of the "sci-fi" part.

I just finished The House At The End Of Hope Street by Menna van Praag. I gave it a 4 out of 5.

I really enjoyed this magical book. The house appears when women are at a point in their lives when they need hope. The house and all of it's previous occupants via portraits of them on the walls who speak give the new women what they need to move on in their lives. This book focuses on three different women and the "mother" of the house.

I've just finished reading Herland by Charlotte Perkins Gilman and I'll give it 3.5/5. The reason for this is Gilman's often flat characterization of Terry, Jeff and Van Dyke. The plot is interesting but pretty standard and although Gilman is explicitly espousing the feminist cause, this often hampers the story and prevents her from exploring other issues. However, with rich description, good dialogue and careful plotting, Gilman creates an enthralling novel with plenty to enjoy and think about.

I just finished reading the second book in the Hemlock trilogy. It was ok it's almost like twilight. I liked it because I'm into those kinds of books but if you didn't like twilight then you probably won't like this one.

The last books that I read were " The Arrangement Series". The books are awesome. The story keeps you hanging on. It also slightly introduces you to the other "Ferro" characters that are in Ward's spinoff series. I do wish they weren't so short. There needs to be a compilation of the current 16 books. I give it a 4/5.
