Quick review: Blink (a novelette by Lloyd Poast)

Time to play review catch up! Meaning, my posts in the next following days are all book reviews! Yay. And today we shall start with a little novelette.

Blink by Lloyd Poast is a short novel so this is going to be a short review! I’d like to thank the author for the opportunity to review his novelette and I also apologize for taking forever in posting this review.

In Blink, we read about Lance who had quite an adventure when he decided to enter the “scary” woods. Nobody ever goes to the woods, but Lance just couldn’t resist following the magical purple top hat that seemed to be calling to him. In less than twenty pages, we read about the interesting characters he met and the magical otherworld that he found himself in. Blink is a fast-paced fantasy ride. It feels like a rollercoaster ride–fast, confusing, amusing, fun. I think it’s perfect as a short story. If you want a quick fantasy fix, this is something you can consider.

Meet A Blogger Today! Say Hi to Ashley of booknook!

Today we have Ashley of booknook! Say hi! :) – Leah


Thanks so much to Leah for giving me the opportunity to write this guest post!

My name is Ashley and I own a book blog called booknook. My blog is still fairly new. I created it on April 11th 2012 as a way to document the books I read and jot down my thoughts about each one.

When I first decided to make the blog, I had no idea what the book blogging world was like. I didn’t realize that there was such an amazing and friendly blogging community out there! So while I originally just intended to jot down my thoughts about books, this has since proven to be a more rewarding experience than I imagined!

A bit about me

Alice, Summer, and Tiernan are ex-best friends. Back in middle school, the three girls were inseparable. They were also the number one fans of the rock band Level3. But when the band broke up, so did their friendship. Summer ran with the popular crowd, Tiernan was a rebellious wild-child, and Alice spent high school with her nose buried in books. Now, just as the girls are about to graduate, Level3 announces a one-time-only reunion show. Even though the concert’s 2000 miles away, Alice buys three tickets on impulse. And as it turns out, Summer and Tiernan have their own reasons for wanting to get out of town. But on the long drive cross-country, the girls hit more than a few bumps in the road. Will their friendship get an encore or is the show really over?
