Library Thing Review: Like A Suicide

Image
I received this book free in a Library Thing Member Giveaway in exchange for an honest review. The description of the book on Amazon is: ‘Wraith' is a serial killer. Not that he would call himself that. The best killer in the world. That he would agree with. He believes proper order can only be brought about in the world via chaos. Most of his kills make sense in that way. It just so happens that now someone has the nerve to bring chaos into his world by stealing money from him. After tracking down the perpetrator, James and confronting him, Wraith concludes that he is either a genius or a stupid thief who just happened to mess with the wrong man.

A nation at war. A compelling story of war, brotherly love, passion and betrayal during World War One.

Forthright and self assured, Guy has always looked out for his confident but frail brother and blithely promises his fretting mother that he’ll look out for him when Jack’s turn comes to join up. But embittered ...

Library Things Review: Wednesdaymeter

I got this book in a  Library Thing  member giveaway in exchange for an honest review. Book Summery: An eggplant wails, a ladder breaks, and the guise of civility shatters... A professor of festival studies, a potato hunter, a deadly career councilor and a part-time terrorist are struggling to retain their sanity in a magically mundane city.  Their carefully laid out plans fall apart when they meet Mr. Pearson, an everyman who suspects a conspiracy of evil polygons behind his company's absurd practices.  Theirs is a world in which people use raw produce and wasted time to alter reality.  If it were not for the stringent safety standards on fruits and vegetables, the citizens would live in misery.  Most live a life of willful ignorance instead, desperate to avoid facing the threats surrounding them.   Festival season is about to begin, but the colorful banners cannot hide the tragic past any longer. The above was taken from ...
