In My Mailbox (IMM) #11

I know I haven't done an IMM post or video in a month!!
So here are lots of books to make up for that, sorry for sounding funny, I still have the cold :(

Review: Paranoia (Witches of Santa Anna #11) - Lauren Barnholdt


Name: Paranoia (Witches of Santa Anna #11)

Author: Lauren Barnholdt

General Release Date: 19th June 20011

Date I finished it: 2nd August 2011

Type: Kindle Book

From: Amazon

My Rating: 4/5 stars





After taking a bit of a break from this series, I recently bought books 11 and 12.
I'm really starting to wonder how long this series is going to be?!

Anyway we are back in our witchy world with the usual suspects, Cam, Nat, Raine and the new girl Hadley.
And usual in this little world, all is not as it should be. Raine has finally been found, and in the least likely place you would think! Nat has been given a strange Ipad looking contraption which allows her to talk to some mysterious girl who seems to know all the answers.
The race is on to find out the truth before either Raine can get her claws into Cam again, or something worse happens!!
Thats all I'm saying without giving too much away!

As usual a super short read, ideal for a short car journey or a light read before bed!

Follow Friday #5


This weeks question is:
Q. Talk about the book that most changed or influenced your life (was it a book that turned you from an average to avid reader, did it help you deal with a particularly difficult situation, does it bring you comfort every time you read it?).

I think almost everyone is going to say this, but Harry Potter got me hooked on reading when I was younger, then I strayed away for a few years, and the Twilight came out, those books got me hooked again. After that I wanted something in the same genre but different, so I bought and read Vampire Academy and they get me hooked forever on YA paranormal I think!
I'm not really a person for re-reading books, they only books I have ever re-read are Harry Potter.
I'll always love them, I grew up reading them!
