2015: Reread with Lo-Lo and Jenna and..bloody hell, I didn't even realize how much I'd missed T & W!

2012: Behold my Manna Francis shrine*.




I almost opted for a plastic BDSM duck instead. But that would’ve been overdoing things, right? And as you can see I’m just not that crazy fangirl type...

So how do you sell a series like The Administration to people, without coming across as a religious freak and while knowing that shoving a recommendation down someone's throat can greatly diminish their des

**January 2015 Re-read**

“What makes you think I’m ever going to stop?�

I had forgotten how all-consuming this series is for me. This world, words, men, and power completely take over my senses, thoughts, and daydreams. It’s why I read--to find this kind of dynamic, chemistry, and magic on the page. I thank the stars above and every reading god out there that I found this series. Especially�.

PANCAKES! I have gushed all about Pancakes before though, so this time out my focus is on Surprises. How co

I bought the book--best reading experience I've had all year--there is no one better than Manna Francis--

Favorite quote: "Trust made it work. When things went well, when he felt his own control starting to slip away, he trusted Toreth to know how far to take things and when to stop. Danger and trust. A paradox."

Manna Francis is a hidden gem of a writer. It's difficult to categorize her work--it's certainly not romance, although there is a compelling relationship between two lead characters. It's not "just" a mystery, because characterization is definitely her focus. This set of novellas, like the first book in the series, Mind Fuck, is set in a dystopic New London. Val Toreth, the sociopathic interrogator anti-hero, has a new case and once again gets himself into trouble with the corporates.

Oddly enough, considering the theme, this is one of the funniest books I've read in a very long time. I couldn't really read it in public since I found it impossible to contain my evil laughter at more or less... anything said by Toreth or Sara. I like the contrast of totalitarian society and hilarious dialogue. Who says people always have to be so dull in dystopian books?

One thing that I found somewhat weird with this book was the structure. First and foremost I was shocked by how expensive the

E' ben risaputo di come io riesca facilmente a fissarmi e quando succede.. Apriti cielo, niente mi ferma!
Mi sono fissata con la serie "The administration" di Manna Francis (il cui primo volume è Mind fuck!), ho provato a resistere al lato oscuro ma niente, il dito mi è inavvertitamente sfuggito su "Compra con un click" e me lo sono ritrovata sul Kindle prima che il buon senso potesse farmi la sua solita ramanzina, del genere "Serena, ti sembra il caso? Hai miliardi di serie in corso e libri che
