My Favorite Writer

I never really though of having a favorite writer. But recently I've realized I do. Sophie Kinsella. It doesn't matter what she is writing about, I always enjoy from start to finish every book I read from her. And I have read a lot.
I guess it's the way she writes and creates her characters that make every single book entertaining. And one of the few that I actually have the patience to re-read.

A lot of people know of her Shopaholic series since it even made it as a movie. And the latest book "Mini shopaholic" was about Becky and her daughter and their difficulties. I really pity Luke. Two shopaholics under one roof? Oh my.

Her stand alone novels are special each on it's own. The ones I liked the most were "Remember Me?" and the "The Undomestic Goddess". Especially that last one.

Righ now I am starting to read the books she wrote under the name of Madeleine Wickham. Just finished reading Cocktails for Three. And as I said above, I enjoy every book she writes and this time it wasn't any different. I am most ready to read all the rest!

Check out her website and the books she has written and see if you are interested. I promise you won't regret them.

Blood Promise (Vampire Academy #4) - Short Review

I really love this series, its very different. Overall it managed to surprise me greatly and I enjoy it to the most. So a big thumbs up to Richelle Mead on that.

Now on to the review! And beware of spoilers!

This book definitely is a mixture of emotions and happenings. We got to see new sides of many characters which was on of the best things about this book. Roses's mother actually shows some emotion. And Adrian shows his more protective and caring side. Which made me fall more in love with the character then before. Rose also matures a lot in this book.

Although the very end surprised me a bit. Yes it was expected that Dimitri would still be well alive. But I personally though that Rose would genuinely give Adrian a chance and start a relationship with him. Even if a hesitant one. And then she would discover that he is alive and searching for her. And while all that happened the story would focus on Lissa and her ended relationship and her actions towards the court/royalty. And now Adrian is bound to be thrown to the side again. Poor guy.

Abe was quite the surprise there. I never saw it coming. And when she realizes that they have more in common than she thought. I just have to say. It's really funny. No doubt about it.

Also, the whole thing with Avery I wasn't expecting at all. I never even though about the possibility of her being a Spirit user! Although the few oddities regarding her here and there.
How naive of me.

I do confess that at some parts things were quite monotonous. But the ending is well worth it and I really think everyone should read this book. Although you probably already wanted to read it if you haven't yet.

Overall? 4 stars.
