Rachel Reviews: Timeblink by MJ Mumford
I think that sometimes it is harder to write a review for a book that is good than it is for one that you didn’t like because if all of the elements are well-written for the most part, there’s not a lot to say. And Timeblink falls into this category: it was a really enjoyable read, tense and suspenseful with a plot that kept you guessing and a story that absorbed your attention.

Rachel Reviews: Diamond Star Halo by Tiffany Murray
There are some books, for whatever reason, that just manage to find their way into you more than others, like a tattoo and they become part of you in ways that others don't. These are your five star reads, where you finish reading and yet, the book remains in your consciousness afterwards AND whilst you have moved on to other reading material.

Arachne
Arachne In a story, there will most likely be a person with no gratitude. Otherwise known as a person who doesn’t give thanks for what they have; they don’t even take for granted. They take for their own ability, not someone else’s. In this story ``Arachne`` by Olivia Cooldidge, the main character, Arachne, was the person with no gratitude.When Arachne had an opportunity to weave and dye she was better than her father, and she didn’t give any credit for her skill to him. All she did was say that she got the skill from her practice. Therefore, taking her skill for granted, Arachne was turned into a spider. Arachne’s character traits lead to her eventual fate because of her selfish, and ungrateful actions, her rude emotions, and her dramatic emotions.
