قرأت مجموعة V.C Andrews بالكامل من 6 إلى 8 صفوف. (في ذلك الوقت ، كانت المجموعة بأكملها تتألف من سلسلة الزهور في سلسلة العلية ، وسلسلة Heaven ، و My Sweet Audrina.) قرأتها مرارًا وتكرارًا. لدرجة أنني ارتديت نسختي من الجنة والزهور في العلية وبتلات الريح. فقدت بتلات غلافها ، وكسرت إلى النصف ، وفقدت عدة صفحات. في الواقع ، فقدت السماء والزهور أغلفةهم أيضا. وكلهم أكدوا على مقاطع ، وصفحات ذات أذنين ، وملاحظات في الهوامش. (في ذلك الوقت كان الأمر مفعمًا بالحيوية!) لا أعرف لماذا أحببت هذه الكتب كثيرًا. في الغالب لأنهم كانوا حول فتيات مراهقات واجهن تحديات وعقبات كبيرة. وكان الزهور في العلية المفضلة لدي المطلقة. وأنا لا أستطيع إخبارك لماذا. ربما تعرفت على كاثي أكثر من أي من الآخرين. بدت الأكثر واقعية بالنسبة لي. وفي آخر مكتبة بيع الكتب ، وجدت كل من 5 من الزهور في سلسلة العلية في غلاف فني! والآن هم لي.

WOW! Since finishing this book left my mind feeling like a huge puddle, I borrowed this picture from Michelle Hodkin's awesome blog which basically sums up what I'm thinking: OMG because oh my gosh, this book was freaking amazing! And WTF because what just happened, there are ALLIGATORS?? It's no exaggeration when I say that The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer has been one of my most anticipated reads of the year, and it doesn't disappoint! It's dark and creepy and thrilling and breathtaking and undoubtedly the kind of book that prompts incoherent reviews like this one. Mara is the perfect heroine for this novel! She's snarky, fun, and realistic in every way (except for the whole supernatural aspect, of course). And her brothers, her best friend Jamie, and Noah (the hot, bad-ass, and sweet love interest) just complete the amazing cast. The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer is a book you don't want to miss. It's unlike anything you've ever read before — a chilling mystery, swoon-worthy romance, and supernatural surprise all wrapped in one! Just when you think you know what's going to happen, Michelle Hodkins throws up a wall and you're back to square one. She frustrates you, makes you swoon, and keeps you holding your breath. And I love it! ♥ BUY or BORROW?: Buy it for sure! It's the kind of book you just have to pick up again immediately after! (Original review at Mimi Valentine's YA Review Blog)

This book was good but not my favorite by far. The characters are not as charismatic as her previous characters. It's a little slow to start but the story is definitely interesting enough to finish. From the Publisher From acclaimed international bestselling author Isabel Allende comes this dazzling historical novel, a sweeping portrait of an unconventional woman carving her own destiny in an era defined by violence, passion, and adventure. An orphan raised in Valparaiso, Chile, by a Victorian spinster and her rigid brother, young, vivacious Eliza Sommers follows her lover to California during the Gold Rush of 1849 -- a danger-filled quest that will become a momentous journey of transformation. In this rough-and-tumble world of panhandlers and prostitutes, immigrants and aristocrats, Eliza will discover a new life of freedom, independence, and a love greater than any ever dreamed.
