Reviews - The Seven Ancient Wonders; I Like Me Better

 

The Seven Ancient Wonders by Matthew Reilly is the first novel in the Jack West series. West is an Australian ex-military super-hero - er, soldier.

He's formed a team of elite specialists (including, as always in these teams, one Toke Woman) to locate the Capstone from the Great Pyramid in order to complete a ritual and avoid the end of the world.

Something, something .... stuff blows up.

I did enjoy reading The Seven Ancient Wonders. It has action! Found family! Lots of unnecessary exclamation points! Did I say action! 

I mean  - I was entertained. It's one of those books that you can read 100 pages without blinking because it's easier to just - keep reading.

I Like Me Better by Robby Weber is super-cute. It's an M/M YA and it's basically a romcom. 

Soccer is Zack Martin's life. He's lining up to become captain now that the previous captain is off to college after the summer. However, when Zack takes the fall for a REALLY stupid prank by the previous captain, his whole summer is thrown into a tailspin.

He ends up doing Community Service at the Marine centre, where he meets Chip, who is not only extremely cute, but also the previous captain's cousin. 

Many, many shenanigans ensue.

I Like Me Better was extremely enjoyable. Warm-hearted, fun and pure escapism.
