My Compulsive Book Buying Disorder.

So I realised today on Goodreads that my owned-but-unread books have gotten to 1,059 but did that stop me this afternoon from buying 7 more books and pre-ordering 5 more? umm......no!!!
I don't know when I'll get to them cause I of course put review books first, but at least I know I'll never run out of books.
I just need to stay away from anywhere that sells books.
MY NAME IS SARAH AND I'M A BOOKAHOLIC!!!

When You Run Out Of Room For Bookshelves, Put Some In The Toilet?

I found this on Tumblr, well I guess you'd never be bored on the toilet!

My New Motto.

I don't have too many books.

Having too many books is impossible.

What I do have is a looming insufficiency of shelf space.

Bookshelf Drooling.

I only wish I had something like this in my house!

Book Review (13).

Chameleon (The Ripple Series)

by Cidney Swanson

Publication: 6th September 2011

Publisher: Williams Press

Pages: 302

Genre: Paranormal

Age Appropriate: Young Adult

Sixteen-year-old Samantha Ruiz has a lot on her mind. The crush who kissed her but changed his mind. The BFF who thinks Sam is in an abusive relationship. The geneticist who wanted Sam dead but now wants her ALIVE. And of course, Sam’s still dealing with a tendency to disappear into thin air.
When Sam learns of her nemesis Helmann’s Nazi-like plan to establish a Thousand-Year Reign, she’s determined to fight him. Along with Will and Mickie, Sam flees to France to meet Sir Walter—their best hope for stopping Helmann’s brave new world.
But Sam isn’t any safer in France. Someone is following her. Someone invisible. Sam will have to figure out how to hide from an enemy she can’t even see.

My Thoughts.

The story takes place near where Rippler left off Sam, Will and Mickie are off to France where they will meet Sir Walter who just happens to be 600 years old but looks 50.

They pass on Dr Pfeffer's diaries for Sir Walter to translate, whilst being followed by people who want to capture Sam. Throughout we have Sam's friend Gwyn who believes she's being abused by Will when in actual fact they're injuries from being accosted by the people after her.

We find out about Sir Walter's connection to the author of the diaries, his life in the last 600 years and Sam's connection to it all.

And we find out more about Rippling and what they are capable of doing.

I liked this book as much as the first it was exciting there was action a bit of romance and the decriptions of France were great.

The only problem? I have to wait for the next book

I give this 4/5

A big thanks to author Cidney Swanson for allowing me to review this book.
