Blurb:
High-school student Kyousuke doesn't get along with his cranky, dismissive, and secretive fourteen-year-old litter sister Kirino, but he suddenly finds himself forced to protect Kirino's secrets--she's not only a gorgeous fashion model, a track star, and an accomplished student, but she's also obsessed with naughty video games and little kids' fantasy anime! How can Kirino maintain her complicated lifestyle--and how can Kuousuke maintain his sanity? And might the tow of them, some how, just maybe, ever become friends?

My thoughts:
As many has understand is this a manga and for maybe a year ago I loved to read manga and watching some shows like Love Hina and plenty of others so when I saw this one on NetGalley I thought to myself this one might be something I would like.

Oh little did I know but when I started to read it wasn't so good that I hoped for so I acctually didn't finished it but who knows maybe someday I will finish it and then come back to say gosh I was wrong the first time I read it.

I think that you got to be in the mood for some manga reading and not just be in the mood of reading something or maybe I'm just not that in to manga anymore:/

But don't go on my review for maybe you like or love manga then I would say try to read it and if you like it please tell me why and what your thought was because we all may not have the same taste:)

I will  give it a 2,5 of a 5 since I love the illustrations in it and because the story do seem nice:)

Can love really heal all things? If Sam Carroll hadn’t shown up, she might have been able to get to her mother in time. Instead, Allie Everly finds herself at a funeral, mourning the loss of her beloved mother. She is dealt another blow when, a few hours later, she is sent from Tennessee to Maine to become the daughter of Miss Beatrice Lovell, a prim woman with a faith Allie cannot accept. Poetry and letters written to her mother become the only things keeping Allie’s heart from hardening completely. But then Sam arrives for the summer, and with him comes many confusing emotions, both toward him and the people around her. As World War II looms, Allie will be forced to decide whether hanging on to the past is worth losing her chance to be loved.

At the beginning it went little bit slowly but it passed after just 2-3 pages and it is a mixed between a sad book and a happy romantic book that turns in to a sad book and then back to a happy romantic book.
I wrote down what I liked and disliked about the book and here comes the list.

What I liked about the book:

• That Rachel Coker have choosen to have some Emily Dickinson quotes at the beginning of every chapter, each one is very beautiful

• I'm really loving the main character name Alcyone

• The language is written in a good and a understandable English even though the story takes place in 1940th 

• The story is really good and Rachel maked me want to read the book all the time

What I didn't liked about the book:

• The end that leaved me hanging and wanting more but, in the end this fits in the like list too since a book that leaves you hanging and wanting more is a great book :) 

I think you should read this book if you, like me, is a sucker for romantic, sad and historical books even though it is not so much of historical other than the WW2 I would say.
I would recommend this book to everyone I know that loves reading because of the well writing language, the story and because of the age of the author.

I will give this book a 5 out of 5:)

"Waiting on" Wednesday - Broken

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, that is hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week's "can't-wait-to-read" (that is also my first week) selection is:



Goodreads synopsis:

Imagine a modern spin on Mary Shelley's Frankenstein where a young couple's undying love and the grief of a father pushed beyond sanity could spell the destruction of them all. 

A string of suspicious deaths near a small Michigan town ends with a fall that claims the life of Emma Gentry's boyfriend, Daniel. Emma is broken, a hollow shell mechanically moving through her days. She and Daniel had been made for each other, complete only when they were together. Now she restlessly wanders the town in the late Fall gloom, haunting the cemetery and its white-marbled tombs, feeling Daniel everywhere, his spectre in the moonlight and the fog.

When she encounters newcomer Alex Franks, only son of a renowned widowed surgeon, she's intrigued despite herself. He's an enigma, melting into shadows, preferring to keep to himself. But he is as drawn to her as she is to him. He is strangely... familiar. From the way he knows how to open her locker when it sticks, to the nickname she shared only with Daniel, even his hazel eyes with brown flecks are just like Daniel's.

The closer they become, though, the more something inside her screams there's something very wrong with Alex Franks. And when Emma stumbles across a grotesque and terrifying menagerie of mangled but living animals within the walls of the Franks' estate, creatures she surely knows must have died from their injuries, she knows.

The story seems really great and not to talk about the cover (just loving it):)
Expected release date: January 8th 2013 by Strange Chemistry 

Now I can join the others

Feels like I'm the last person to read George R.R. Martins A Song of Ice and Fire that includes Game of Thrones (never seen the show either), A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords and A Feast for Crows but now I can at least read it if I want to:)
I like the box I got the books in and it will look good in my bookshelf.

Is the books worth reading and is the show worth seeing?
I hope some of you will answer my question:)

My order from CDON

Today I got a SMS that my order from CDON has arrived so I went to the store and got my package.
What was in it can you see in the pictures (except from Dracula that will come another day):

It all cost me 306 SEK well spent money;)
