Sending off in Ctychic's "Anything Goes" Bookbox!Enjoy:)
Oh! My first selection from Ctychic's bookbox; looks interesting, and its a new-to-me author (I think the mister would like this one as well)
I read a review that likened Gibbins to a cross between Dan Brown & Clive Cussler...and the blurb on the back really drew me in: an archeological adventure, the legend of Atlantis, modern day pirates....what else could a reader want?!
Well...this one wasn't as good as I was expecting. Definately readable; the plot is entertaining and engaging, and Mr. Gibbins seems to know a thing or two about treasure diving and boats...problem was, he wanted the reader to KNOW he knows...much too much techno-babble and too many "theories" fighting for the readers attention, making what could have been a highly entertaining read into something that I was happy to see the back end of.
But...regardless of MY misgivings, the Mister wants to give this one a read for himself. Perhaps he will appriciate the seafaring and military techno-speak, and enjoy this one more than I did.

3/15/09:Adding to 300Dogs "Judging a Book by its Cover" box
Grabbed out of the Judge a Book by its Cover bookbox. I will journal this again when I have read it and can say more about it.
I’ve found an audiobook version that I can listen to on my commute so I’ll be reserving this title for my “already been crossed” bookbox.
Releasing as part of my “already been crossed” bookbox in an effort to move along the books registered by others. Happy travels my friend!

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
Not my type of book. Released for the Oh the Places we can Go 2019 challenge
When he looked up again Tas had gone. Rising to join the others, he caught sight of something small and abandoned on the floor. "Tas you forgot your pipe." He picked it up and then saw words carved into the wood he had not seen before. Find the music, find the magic.
"Did you carve this?"
Tas did not turn. "Yes," he said, reluctantly. "I have to leave it."
"But, Tas, why?"
Tas squared his shoulders as though firming some resolve. But still he did not turn. "Because the shepherd said that it could only be used once. Thats why I can't get the pipe to play that song-or any song. I've used the magic." He took a deep breath and went on. "And he said that once I found the magic I had the pass the pipe on." he paused and then he did turn, a scamp's humor in his long brown eyes. "It's going to be a long winter. I'm going to leave it here for someone else to find." "Snowsong" by Nancy Varian Berberick
