Confuzzled Books

If you are wondering what kinds of books I review and events I host, this little section is the place to look. Books I love to read: Children's, Young Adult, Paranormal and Fantasy books. Books I like to read: General Fiction, Romances, Religious Fiction, Mysteries and Biographies. So those are the genres of books I will generally review. If you send me a book outside of those areas, I'll consider it, but it may not fit my tastes. Reviews will take about 2 months to post; I try to post them around the time the book is released. On giveaways: Sending me a signed book to give away on the site is a great way to get your book noticed. I do a "mystery book" giveaway about every 2 weeks, where I read the book and twitter about it without revealing its title, then reveal what I've been reading and give it away. The whole event takes a couple weeks, and I feature the giveaway book on my blog for most of that time.

Pandora Gets Vain (Pandora Series #2)

Pandora Gets Vain - Carolyn Hennesy

This is very similar to the Rick Riordan series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, except its main characters are mostly girls. It is not written real girly like. Well at least the second book isn’t. I don’t know about the first book, Pandora Gets Jealous, because I didn’t read it. I don’t feel like I missed too much from not reading the first book, though. It seems as though this book takes off right where Jealous must have left off. It is action packed, and Pandora and her friends get into a couple of close calls. This book also combines the Greek Gods with Egyptian Gods, which is a fun combination. There is something different then the Percy Jackson Series that I can’t put my finger on. Maybe it is the fact that the author writes the way the characters speak as if it is the present day, but after reading it, I am pretty sure this book takes place in the very distant past. This book is an advanced reader copy and will not be released until Sept 2008.
