"Angel Dares" by Joss Stirling

This term I am reading a book called Angel Dares. This book is the second in a new series by my one of my favourite authors. Angel is a girl who is very impulsive and has a love for music. She met her soul finder  Marcus at a music festival and fell head over heels for him but he's still deciding if he feels the same or not. Marcus is having a hard time accepting her gift and feels like he can't accept her for who she is. So far I am loving this book! Can't wait to read more! 

Pride and Prejudice

The book I'm reading this term is called. "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austin. I have just started reading the novel, it was recommended to me by a friend. I will update the blogger when i have finished several chapters of the novel.

I have began reading Freakonomics by Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner. I am finding it very interesting as the writers analyze very different and uncommon aspects of economics such as "What does teaches and Sumo wrestlers have in common?" It is very unique.

The Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb

Being born a bastard is unpleasant. Being born a royal bastard is worse: all the fancy titles, the royal education, the privileges, all gone. It even extends to not having a name. However, a royal bastard is not to be underestimated, for they can carry out useful tasks; tasks such as assassinations. The Assassins Apprentice speaks of a royal bastard given the name Fitz at six years old when no name had been chosen. Fitz’s father, Prince Chivalry was next in line to the throne, however, having produced a bastard, Chivalry was humiliated and pressured, which led to him stepping down and eventually being murdered. Fitz grows, and people around him soon realize that he is not only smart, but also a very useful asset. King Shrewd buys Fitz’s loyalty and turn him into a Royal assassin.

I greatly enjoyed this book. It had many adventures and displays a perfect fictional balance. The book has many undermining plots, assassination attempts, magic, and interesting characters. I finished book 1 called the Assassins Apprentice and now I am already well into book 2 Royal Assassin. I greatly recommend this fictional series as I really enjoy entering the world of war, magic, and murder! I would given it a 7/10, for I have read better in this domain, but I still very much like the books. I will keep posting about Book 2 of the Farseer Trilogy.

Our man in Havana

Since I loved the novel "The tenth man", I decided to try out another of Graham Greene's novels. I came across "Our man in Havana". This is the book I am currently reading. It is a lot longer than the one I had read before, as well as, in my opinion, less interesting.

The story takes place in Havana. The main character is a vacuum cleaner retailer, named James Wormold, who is asked to become a spy for the British secret services. His wife had
left him and he is living with his sixteen year old daughter, Milly, who is spoiled and very materiallistic. Since, he isn't earning enough money to support both of them, he decides to accept the job and become a spy as his "side job".

He only tells two of his friends about his secret and decides to keep it from his daughter. Since he knows nothing about being a spy, the man fakes all his reports and makes up "partners". After he realizes that his plan is working, he

I recently finished reading the book "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen. I took me a while to get through it, but it was worth it.
The book has 2 love stories in it; one between Jane and Charles and the one between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy. The more recognised one is the one between Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth.
Elizabeth is the second daughter of Mr and Mrs Bennet, she is the most sensible and intelligent and very down to earth. On the other hand, Mr Darcy is a rich gentleman from a wealthily family that is self conceded and a bit arrogant. Mr Darcy never falls for the lower class but he ended up falling in love for Elizabeth Bennet and he exposes his feelings to her. As Elizabeth judged his wrongly, she does not accept his offer for marriage but then afterwards realises that she loves him too. They eventually get married in the end.

I really enjoyed this book because it is a very different kind of love story to the ones that I usually read because of the separation of the upper class and the lower class. Being rich is what defines you during that time, so that is how people decided who they were going to marry.
I liked the fact that I could feel the connection between Mr Darcy and Elizabeth from the get go. If i had no idea what the story was about when I ready it, I would have know that Elizabeth and Mr Darcy would have ended up together.

I would most definitely recommend this book to everyone that has a decent level in English.

Tess of the D'Urbervilles pt2

Since Tess's father is unable to go and pick his daughter up because of his drunkenness, Tess goes in search of her father and mother. In this chapter, Mrs D'Urberville reveals to Tess that she has been diagnosed with a serious heart condition: this introduces the topic of astrology and superstition. At the moment, a lot of information is being revealed and many topics are being introduced such as the ones mentioned previously and the topic of purity (first shown at the May Dance).
