The Girl On The Train by Paula Hawkins
I've had my eye on this book for quite some time. I finally decided to head down to my local library to check it out.
This story follows the main character, Rachel. Rachel is a divorced alcoholic who endures blackouts due to her excessive drinking. She clings onto the life she once shared with her ex-husband, and how he's now remarried and has a baby with this woman he left her for. Rachel is lost in her own mind, and full on drunkenness. I could not finish this book, simply for the reason that it was tedious, and long winded about her daily train rides, and odd obsession of her own imagination.
I need to stop reading reviews on books that hold high praises, as this book is a total yawn fest.

Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake
Three dark queens are born in a glen, sweet little triplets will never be friends Three dark sisters all fair to be seen, two to devour and one to be QueenEvery generation on the island of Fennbirn, a set of triplets is born: three queens, all equal heirs to the crown and each possessor of a coveted magic. Mirabella is a fierce elemental, able to spark hungry flames or vicious storms at the snap of her fingers. Katharine is a poisoner, one who can ingest the deadliest poisons without so much as a stomachache. Arsinoe, a naturalist, is said to have the ability to bloom the reddest rose and control the fiercest of lions. But becoming the Queen Crowned isn’t solely a matter of royal birth. Each sister has to fight for it. And it’s not just a game of win or lose…it’s life or death. The night the sisters turn sixteen, the battle begins. The last queen standing gets the crown. Not many books leave me shocked, and wanting more. This book, Three Dark Crowns...DID!! Three sisters, all raised in different regions of the magical realm called Fennbirn. One sister, raised an elemental. One sister, raised a poisoner. One sister, raised a naturalist. This book is full of Priestesses, magic, and a few areas of, WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!?!? I loved this book, and I am anxiously awaiting the sequel! The writing is so descriptive, that it really makes your imagination run wild. I hope you pick up a copy of this book, and experience...THREE DARK CROWNS.
