It only took 4 business days to get to Australia from the US, that's amazing! I read somewhere that the Kindle makes you read more and faster and it seems to be true. Ive tried the dictionary and am finding it really useful especially for classics and TV where there's a word I don't understand.
The next wave of excitement will come from my order of the Library skin from Decalgirl which will arrive in 2 weeks XD There's so many gorgeous designs It was so hard to pick. I can't wait for it to arrive and put it on the Kindle!
Happy reading!
The Gallagher Girls book number 1 was a seriously fun and witty read. The main character Cammie was a great narrator, I loved reading her comical thoughts. The constant use of nicknames throughout the book made me feel like I had gotten to know the characters in less than 300 pages, although some aspects of the characters felt stereotypical and two dimensional. For example, the bookworm Liz, the clever one Bex and the hateful girl who turned out to be a pretty good friend Macey. These didn't distract from the enjoyment of the book but their actions were cringe worthy at times.
With a title like that, I expected mystery and horror. The Body Finder delivered this but I found it took the back seat towards the second half of the book. The relationship between Violet and her childhood and best friend Jay was the main event. Not that I'm complaining because their chemistry was apparent from the beginning and it was sweet reading about their love blossoming. I found the idea of Violet sensing dead people and the people who killed others through an 'echo' - a fascinating idea but I would have liked to know how she got these abilities (since her parents or relatives have no such case) at least vaguely.
