Oh my, I haven't been here in ages :o

I just spent quite some time updating my lists on the first page and added an e-book-list. I downloaded some e-books in the last months on my kindle-for-mac and I'm thinking about getting a Kindle 4 (or a Kindle Touch???) someday this year.

synopsis from amazon

 

On the first day of May, 100 teenage boys meet for a race known as "The Long Walk". If you break the rules, you get three warnings. If you exceed your limit, what happens is absolutely terrifying...

 

my thoughts

 

A very fascinating read revolving around those boys and what they are going through. The setting is quite simple which makes it even more intense and compelling. I would definately recommend this book.

 

rating: 4/5

synopsis from amazon

Forced to move from sunny California to gloomy New England, Cassie is homesick - until she forms a bond with a group of teenagers at her school. This clique rules the school - no one dare cross them - but Cassie feels a strange kinship with them, and when she is initiated into their 'secret circle' she is both terrified and thrilled to be part of a coven of witches that have controlled New Salem for hundreds of years...But then Cassie falls in love. Now she has a tough decision to make: does she walk away, or does she step over to the dark side?

 

my thoughts

I didn't care too much about theses books, even though the first one started out fine. As much as I like YA books, I'm definately too old for this series ;)

 

series: The secret circle 1-3

 

rating: 2/5
