[quote=""Ash""]My copy of Olivia and Jai just arrived; yikes this thing is huge! Not sure I'll be reading it quite yet, looks like a long weekend kinda read![/quote]
It's a weekend book, that's for sure. Do check in on the review thread of this book when you get to the big plot twist half way through. I don't know anyone yet who was able to see that big ta-da coming. It floored me.

Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer. Hmm. That's my second vampire book in a row, and I have another one here to read in the next couple of weeks as well. Maybe I am iron deficient

[quote=""Kailana""]It kind of sounds like it could be. This is a bunch of different authors, though, and it is a bit of a textbook-type book, as well as a collection of fairy tales.[/quote]
Ah, ok. The Donogue book is a collection of famous fairy tales, connected by a thread of one character telling a story to one from the next story. Definitely told from a woman's point of view, it is at times hilarious and other times quite thought provoking (another book like this, tho much more graphic, is John Connoly's Book of Lost Things. Its rather disturbing, but the story itself is one I couldn't leave for a long time)

Crown in Candlelight, half way through and it's really sporatic(sp) if you know what I mean. It kinda is back and forth with parts not chapters and Kathrine and Owen still have not met much less she hasn't even married Henry, so it's to see how the book can be on the subject of Owen and Kathrine but the lead up to Owen and Kathrine. does that make sense?
