Eeeh, not awful, but not great either... Follows 5 Ronin (Though I'm not sure how Psylocke counts as one) on the road for vengeance... Each story based on a different character: Wolverine, Hulk, Punisher, the previously mention Psylocke and Deadpool.
3 stars, though I may be feeling a little generous.

Review:
I'm a sucker for Alice's adventures, I feel believing in impossible things is a good mantra for life in general. It was nice to revisit a childhood favourite and spend some time in wonderland, instead of the real world.
5/5 stars

I'm beginning to think I need rehab, but for books. I keep telling myself that I won't buy any more, but then I find something that I 'really need' or that my girls 'really need' and before I blink I'm through the checkout and out the door with the books in hand...
Today was again one of those days, this time I've managed to pass of today's haul off as being super prepared for Christmas, but that still doesn't solve my lack of book shelf space... nor find homes for the stacks of books currently taking over my coffee table. So Santa, if you're watching, I'd love some book cases this year, even if I have been a little wicked as far as my books are concerned.

It feels like forever since I've posted, and I suppose it has been several months. But hopefully that will change, now that I once again have a working, or at least mostly working, computer, hooray!
Though I've been able to get online with my phone, I hated trying to do anything more than list books I was reading, trying to post was just awful.
My reading seems to have taken a back seat this year, I'm many books behind where I wished to be, but I have Uni (and to an extent life in general) to thank for that. Now that I'm a third of the way into my second semester I'm hoping that things are settled enough that I can catch up on all the books I intended to have read by now.
I'm hoping to get some time to catch up on review writing too, since I have a multitude of books that are missing reviews, but those will take a while and will be second to the numerous essays, assignments and exams I have to complete over the next few months.

Review:
Now that I've finished with my Behavioural Neuroscience unit I no longer need to read this, that is until I pick up another Psychology unit.
An interesting read, if you are interested in psychology and the inner workings of the great grey lump that keeps us going.

Review:
I had a whole post typed out ready to post and... lost it in transit between home and Uni. And since it's my first week back at Uni after 3 months off, and each of my kids have been sick over the last week, I'm just too tired to try and rewrite it, so here's the condensed version.
Devoured this in a couple of days, beginning to wonder if I shouldn't have read this weeks ago to get out of my slump, or if it was just the realisation that my free time was over and this was my last chance for some non-prescribed reading.
Loved this book just as much as the previous two, reviews for those are here and here. Still following with Cinder on her quest to learn more about herself and the secret identity she recently learned she had, we add in Cress, a Lunar shell imprisoned in a satellite by Thaumaturge Sybil.
More adventure, a daring rescue, and the unfortunate loss of some of their members. I'm dying to read the next book, Winter, but I'll have to wait until I'm not so tired at the end of the day.
Cress gets 5/5 stars.

Review:
I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest review.
Mr James has done it again! Another fantastic historical crime novel following the story of Jacob Silver. Spanning the 20 odd years since Jacob Silver was hanged for the murders of his beloved models and his love's Sister, Rebecca. This story begins with Lizzie Weston convinced that Jacob was innocent of all the murders and may well be alive and well after she discovered his grave empty.
Within 3 years of setting out to clear his name, Miss Weston has convinced the police and convinced them to have him posthumously pardoned by Queen Victoria. Unbeknownst to Lizzie and almost every other person on the planet, the Queen and Lizzie's father had their own plan to save Jacob from the hangman's noose. One that remains undiscovered for many years after both had passed away...
Crime is what Chris James knows, and his knowledge certainly shows with both this and the first novel in the series, Alchemy: A Perfect Murder. I'm definitely eager to learn when the 3rd book in the series will be published.
This the second book in the Alchemy series gets 5/5 stars.
