Dez Cross has problems. She’s almost eighteen and on the verge of losing her mind thanks to the drug Denazen used to enhance her abilities. People close to her have turned their back on the underground and are now fighting for the wrong side. And then there’s Kale… Things couldn’t get any worse.
Until of course, they do. Denazen is about to start a new trial—this one called Domination—and it works. But that means out with the old and in with the new. The order has been given to terminate all remnants of the second trial—including Dez. The good news is that there’s a survivor from the original trial. A woman who’s …
Book Lovers Book Club: Discussion Questions – Soulless by Gail Carriger
Morning everyone,
Today I’ve decided to discuss Soulless by Gail Carriger with a few questions to kick start your brains this Monday morning.
You can see my review of Soulless here.
Given the opportunity to become a clavinger or drone, would you do it? Why/Why not?
Alexia doesn’t mind destroying the vampire at the beginning of Soulless, was it because of the badly tied cravat or his destruction of her precious treacle tart? What dessert is worth killing over?
The comedic tone of the novel was ever present even when the novel was at it’s darkest plot-threads. Do you think this added to the depth of the novel and characters or did it trivialize the plot?
Comedy is sprinkled all throughout Soulless, even during the darkest times. Does this deepen the story or just downplay the seriousness of the situation?
Will you be reading Changeless?
Don’t forget to vote for next months book here.
And also to …

Around The Bookish World: Week-In-Review
Welcome to this week’s news post! I think everyone must have heard about J.K Rowling’s secret identity being leaked online, Goodreads sued for copyright infringement and much more news in the world of books and publishing.
The huge news this week is all about J.K. Rowling’s secret identity as being debut Mystery writer, Richard Galbraith who wrote THE CUCKOO’S CALLING which was released earlier this year. But the whole story behind how her real identity being leaked is just as interesting which ranged from theories of the publisher intentionally outing the author to increase sales to Rowling herself. But the real reason was uncovered yesterday when her law firm confirmed it was leaked by one of their lawyers who told his wife who then told her BFF. The BFF then posted a coy tweet which others and papers like The Times managed to prove it was Rowling who …

HE’S USED TO GETTING WHAT HE WANTS…
A former football star and one of Chicago’s top prosecutors, Assistant U.S. Attorney Cade Morgan will do anything to nail a corrupt state senator, which means he needs Brooke Parker’s help. As general counsel for a restaurant company, she can get a bug to the senator’s table at one of her five-star restaurants so the FBI can eavesdrop on him. All Cade has to do is convince Brooke to cooperate—and he’s not afraid to use a little charm, or the power of his office, to do just that.
AND WHAT HE WANTS …

Secondary Characters by Original Cast Recording on Grooveshark
This week we are tossing life-rafts out into Patricia Briggs’ Mercyverse. Patricia has already taken great strides to save one of the original supporting cast, with the Alpha & Omega spin off series. Tragically the spin-off (vastly superior to the Mercy books in case anyone was wondering) has only served to highlight just how fascinating all the people not-Mercy (or Adam. or Sam) truly are. This whole series …

When a seductive heat ignites between Piper and Mick, she jumps at the chance for a bit of fun between the sheets, but with two stipulations: she’s kept out of the public eye and things end when she returns to New York. Only Mick keeps changing the rules on her. …
Words and Music: The Casual Vacancy by J.K Rowling
Words and music is a new feature I am starting here at BLI, I previously used to do it at my own blog Storywings but now we would like the opportunity for you guys to share as well.
Do you ever hear a song and immediately think of a book? Do you ever see a book that immediately reminds you of a song…well I do.
Every time I see the book: The Casual Vacancy by J.K Rowling
I think of this song:
This happened more towards the middle to end of The Casual Vacancy as the characters true natures and situations started to come into the light. I started singing These Days in my head and now everytime I see Casual Vacancy on my bookshelf (which is a lot because it’s got a prime spot) I think of this Bon Jovi song.
Unfortunately Google Friend Connect will stop working for non Blogger blogs at the start of March.
