The Golden Compass

Image
Author: Philip Pullman Series: His Dark Materials #1 Genre: Fantasy Original Publication date: April 1996 Book Description (from Good Reads): Lyra is rushing to the cold, far North, where witch clans and armored bears rule. North, where the Gobblers take the children they steal--including her friend Roger. North, where her fearsome uncle Asriel is trying to build a bridge to a parallel world. Thoughts: This is a reread for me, but it had been such a long time since the time I read it and I think it was my first reread of the book. I never continued to the next parts of the trilogy, but I only remembered the big reveals pretty much, all the small details were like reading it for the first time.  Lyra starts like a very average adventurous girl. Looking for trouble, making up stories of anything and everything with her few friends around the institute she was raised in. But then she was thrust into a grand adventure where she meets more friends. I had completely forgotten...

August Book Haul

 I should stop saying I'm am going to stop buying so many books. It just never works out that way. I have bought books for the first time from eBay and I went crazy. I will not say too much about the books as most of them are mystery/thrillers and I like to go into those blind. Also, I am not sure what they are about, I picked done of those mystery boxes that include 20 books picked by the seller. I will probably never do it again but it was a fun surprise to see books I had never heard about arriving at my door. *The chase by Brenda Joyce A romantic suspense thriller. We follow Claire as she tries to find out who killed her husband, and of course, there is a man who comes to the rescue to help her get to the bottom of the mystery. *Unlucky by Jana DeLeon We have Mallory, she is very unlucky in everything in her life. She needs a lot of money very fast and in order to get it she takes the task of working in her uncle's Casino, her job is to cool cards but she finds herself in t...
