I cannot decide if I like this book or not. But I think that's because of the beginning. It's slow and so utterly boring but since I'm committed to finishing my quota for this year, I trudged on. The second part is where the action begins, when you finally see each character for exactly who they are. And that's when the book is nearly impossible to put down. I'd say Gillian Flynn has done a good job with the characters, revolting people but you kind of get where they're coming from. I should also say that this book is a good study in hyperbole. Real people have chinks in their armour and I'd have loved it if Amy had some. Talking about the ending, ah, the ending. It's divisive and risky and I commend Gillian Flynn for taking that route.I personally thought it fitting. An endless gloom, an abyss. No resolution to the story and no justice is served. Thinking about what lies in the long run for Nick and Amy is frightening.
So, if you're expecting (and love) everything handed to you in a silver platter with a bow on top, don't read this book (no but you really should). | 300 | [

05ed06d28267356ea38ae32cacdc9fc1 | The problem is I invariably finish books in the wee small hours of the morning. Like, right now, it's a half past one. So, I'm too tired to write a decent, paragraphs-long review. But I have given this book 5 stars and I believe that that should compel you into picking up this book. I'm not being generous. It's really that good. It's f****** brilliant. | 301 | [

05ed06d28267356ea38ae32cacdc9fc1 | 2.5 stars really. One of the most fanciful spy stories I have ever read. Richard Hannay spends half the book running all over Scotland. And meets with the most unusually helpful country folks, who provide him with clothes to disguise himself and sustenance. By the third time he runs into a country house, I've just about given up, but mercifully it's the enemies' den he goes into. But of course John Buchan's writing is such that God forbid he should leave Hannay's fate to chance. Hannay's able to create doubt in the minds of his German captors, who in turn lock him up in a cell that's loaded with dynamite and fuses, because really, that's what you do to a mining engineer. So obviously he blasts his way out and then spends a month recuperating at one of the aforementioned country folk's house. It's just unbelievable. Buchan provides such exhaustive detail of every moor, glen, vale that it's just....exhausting to read. | 302 | [

05ed06d28267356ea38ae32cacdc9fc1 | A thoroughly enjoyable read. I absolutely loved reading the events of Persuasion through Capt. Wentworth's eyes. And the icing on the cake was definitely reading about the events that happen before the story takes off in 'Persuasion'. I have wondered while reading Austen's novel about how Capt. Wentworth and Anne met and how they fell in love, basically what happened eight years ago and Amanda Grange has provided me with quite a very believable back-story. Kudos to her. The only problem I had with the book was that Ms. Grange provided extensive quotes throughout while it's supposed to be a diary. Not sure if anybody writes their diary like that but I'd gladly overlook it. I highly recommend it to any fan of 'Persuasion'. | 303 | [

05ed06d28267356ea38ae32cacdc9fc1 | It's always good to read classic literature after having read so many contemporary ones. Washington Irving's work here is pretty and descriptive. I learned a lot of new words. You will be needing your dictionary for this one. I remember having watched the movie quite a while back. And thought it'd be great to read the book as well. Unfortunately, the book is very different from the movie. But that's all okay, I guess. | 304 | null | 184 | [

05ed06d28267356ea38ae32cacdc9fc1 | First of, Northanger Abbey is Jane Austen's least-read novel. I had to tick off all Jane Austen books from my to-read list, so I had to tackle this one sometime. Honestly, the book was a bit of a tedious read, quite unlike Austen's other more popular works. Or I guess I've been too used to abridged versions. Definitely need to fix that. I'll admit I haven't read any Gothic literature. This was my first. The heroine of the book, Catherine Morland, is highly likable. She's presented as intelligent, if naive and is gifted with an unworldly charm and a vivid imagination. Her good heart and good intentions shine throughout the book. The story takes off when she travels to Bath with friends where she is thrown into all the difficulties and dangers presented to her age of 17 . Throughout the book, she must overcome all the caprices of society, which she does with unfailing grace. In the end, she finds love in a presumably unromantic manner. It is with the aid of this love, Henry Tilney, that she gradually progresses towards maturity and self-knowledge. In short, 'Gothic' romances were popular in Jane Austen's days and Northanger Abbey is her amusing and bitingly sarcastic pastiche of it. (Also, would like to mention that self had not known that liking old abbeys and gloomy passages and ancient house-keepers constituted being a goth. Guess that makes me one.:) ) | 305 | [

05ed06d28267356ea38ae32cacdc9fc1 | 'Black Beauty' is my newest all-time favorite book. A timeless classic, this is Anna Sewell's only book and was first published in 1877. The book exposed the ill-treatment of horses at the hands of their owners' and led to a change in people's attitudes towards horses and domestic animals in general. If you, like me, love horses, you'll love this book. The book is endearing and it's simply written and I dearly wish Anna Sewell had written a few more. | 306 | [

05ed06d28267356ea38ae32cacdc9fc1 | Johanna Spyri's uplifting story of a young girl whose kindness brings out the goodness in others has had me enchanted from the beginning to the end as it has countless readers throughout the century. This classic story lyrically evokes a young child's growing understanding of poverty and wealth, illness and health and despair and hope and it tugs at the heartstrings. I've always loved mountains and greenery and the descriptions of the meadows and the fir trees and the clear blue skies have only made me crave even more to live in such a place. Lovely book that reinforces that dreams do come true, that God hears our prayers and miracles do really happen. | 307 | [

05ed06d28267356ea38ae32cacdc9fc1 | Every book of Dan Brown have been fast-paced and action-packed and this one is no exception. Robert Langdon described as a 'Harrison Ford in Harris tweed' teams up with Sophie Neveu to help catch the man who framed him for murder. They quickly discover they are up against a centuries old, formidable organization. Armed with one of Da Vinci's inventions, a cryptex, they race against time. The book ingeniously combines the detective, thriller, and conspiracy genres. | 308 | [

05ed06d28267356ea38ae32cacdc9fc1 | One of the most powerful books I've ever read. On the face of it, a simple children's book, but as you dive deeper, you'll be moved to the core. Jess' friendship with Leslie is regular. Two ten year olds in the fifth grade. but not long after, Leslie introduces Jess to magic and dreaming. And their very own Kingdom of Terabithia. A story of loyalty, love, forgiveness, imagination, and most important of all, courage. Katherine Paterson has written a masterpiece. Lastly, I highly recommend watching the movie version as well. Brilliant and moving performances by both Josh Hutcherson and AnnaSophia Robb. | 309 | [

05ed06d28267356ea38ae32cacdc9fc1 | The pace of the book is even. The tension simmers in the background initially but it isn't many pages before the signs are clear and the reader knows that deep trouble lies ahead. There are many characters that Larsson introduced in this second book, and each has been developed to a fault. Sometimes it's hard to remember who's who and this requires some back-tracking. The tension doesn't let up into the last pages and is carried over into the third and final book. Larsson provides meticulous detailing. On a sidenote, I had no trouble making the link between Salander and Zalachenko, her arch nemesis. Quite surprising that some readers didn't see that one coming. I thought it was quite obvious. All in all, the work of a master. And it's worth the time it takes to finish it. | 310 | [

05ed06d28267356ea38ae32cacdc9fc1 | So I finally finished reading this book. Overall, it's a great book and an interesting read. The tension that was introduced in the previous book carries into this one and doesn't let up until the last page. Personally, I felt that this book does a good job of tying up every loose end. Of course, some matters are open to scrutiny (such as Lisbeth's twin sister, Camilla. Nothing about her is mentioned in any of the three books other than the fact that she was Lisbeth's twin, she was delusional and Zalachenko's favorite. I half-expected her to turn up at the trial. But no show there.) But it has already been established that Larsson planned 10 books in all, so they would probably have been dealt with in those. Kudos to Larsson on these three books. And I'm truly sorry he didn't live to see these become the phenomenon they have.
Here are some links regarding the fourth book:

05ed06d28267356ea38ae32cacdc9fc1 | Never have I ever read a book where I felt the author was putting down my thoughts, my feelings and my idiosyncrasies to the page.
Sylvia Plath was a remarkable woman, in every way and her only novel shows her extraordinary grasp on words. I remember reading somewhere once that the great lead turbulent lives. And it was no different for Sylvia.
I felt dreadfully inadequate. The trouble was, I had been inadequate all along, I simply hadn't thought about it... I felt like a racehorse in a world without racetracks or a champion college footballer suddenly confronted by Wall Street and a business suit, his days of glory shrunk to a little gold cup on his mantel with a date engraved on it like the date on a tombstone.
From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple fig, a wonderful future beckoned and winked. One fig was a husband and a happy home and children, and another fig was a famous poet and another fig was a brilliant professor, and another fig was Ee Gee, the amazing editor, and another fig was Europe and Africa and South America, and another fig was Constantin and Socrates and Attila and a pack of other lovers with queer names and offbeat professions, and another fig was an Olympic lady crew champion, and beyond and above these figs were many more figs I couldn't quite make out.
I saw myself sitting in the crotch of this fig tree, starving to death, just because I couldn't make up my mind which of the figs I would choose. I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest, and, as I sat there, unable to decide, the figs began to wrinkle and go black, and, one by one, they plopped to the ground at my feet.
These are a few of the lines from the book that touched me deeply.
It is astonishing to me that a book written 50 years ago would resonate with me on such an inexplicable level today. It's not easy to read the book and not think of what happened to Sylvia.
I took a deep breath and listened to the old brag of my heart. I am, I am, I am. | 312 | [

05ed06d28267356ea38ae32cacdc9fc1 | A book of epic proportions. One of the finest crime novels I have ever read. Astounded with the ease with which author, Stieg Larsson, weaved together two seemingly different stories into one. The battle of the journalist, Blomkvist, with the financier, Wennerstrom, Blomkvist's uncovering of the Vanger family's deadly secret of more half a century with the help of a seemingly delinquent but extraordinarily intelligent hacker, Salander, together make for a compelling and gripping read. The book moves at an even pace without falling into that trap of "The-big-reveal-at-the-end". I'm so in praise of this book and the author. It's very sad that Larsson didn't live to see the phenomenon that his books have become. Can't wait to pick up the second in Larsson's Millenium series, "The Girl Who Played With Fire". | 313 | [

05ed06d28267356ea38ae32cacdc9fc1 | I, first, came across 'A Walk To Remember' when I watched the movie. I cried my eyes out for the most part. And since then, I have wanted to read the book. Now I'd heard that the book was set in the late 1950s while the movie was set in 1998 and I had some reservations about it. I'm pleased to say that book affected me as much as the movie did, if not more. This is simply not a story of love-struck teens. It's a story about forgiveness, about redemption and about faith. Rarely, is it the book is in sync with the movie and I was pleasantly surprised to find that some of my favorite lines in the movie were actually from the book and vice versa. The ending, though, was a little unexpected. It is not explicitly mentioned that Jamie passed away as she does in the movie. I read somewhere that Nicholas Sparks had grown attached the character of Jamie Sullivan and wanted to leave her fate to the reader. Here's an excerpt from an interview with Nicholas Sparks where he talks about the ending: "So what was I to do? I didn't want her to die, and couldn't write those words. Yet, plainly I couldn't let her live, either. I opted for the only solution, the solution that best described the feeling I had about my gravely ill sister at that point: namely, that I hoped she would live. That's the ending, folks. I wanted readers to finish with the hope that Jamie lived." I, for one, am glad for that. I like to think that Landon and Jamie got the miracle they so richly deserved and lived in happiness and love to the end. | 314 | [

05ed06d28267356ea38ae32cacdc9fc1 | It's a brilliant, simply-written book. I was completely hooked from beginning to end and I understand where its rabid popularity comes from. Suzanne Collins has managed to write a novel that's almost as unique and has created characters almost as unforgettable as J.K. Rowling. I cannot wait to get my hands on the second book in the series, Catching Fire. I cannot wait to plunge myself into Katniss' and Peeta's next adventures. | 315 | [

05f4717f0cef08b5147732217cd75a9a | What can I say about this fabulous instalment of the Beast Realm books? Let me see...there's so much!
Mara and Logan really struggle with themselves and each other in this story -- each one dealing with deep inner turmoil. Mara struggles with the secrets she's been forced to keep from her beloved, and Logan near tears them both apart for good with his deep-seated trust issues. Upon finding out another of Mara's secrets, Logan skips calm-reasoning and jumps right into a nasty pile of conclusions. Mired in the guilt he feels for failing her all those years ago, he can't see that he's falling into the same trap again by not trusting her.
Mara never does anything without reason. We, as readers know and trust this, but Logan cannot or will not. Whichever is the case, things go from bad to worse, and soon, you're wondering if these two can make it.
Meanwhile, everybody else's story arc is advancing in tandem, and it all leads to a climax that left me feeling satisfied, yet eager for more!
I would highly recommend this to fans of Paranormal Romance, or Urban Fantasy, as it has tones of both in action, love, lust, and intrigue.

With one more crook of his masterful fingers, she came undone. And with a look of triumph, he covered her mouth with his other hand. "That's it, baby. Come for me. But shut the fuck up while you do it."

Disallowing her the pleasure of speech, he thrust inside her again, hitting the back of her throat, causing her to convulsively swallow. Fuck, that felt amazing. Hitting a rhythm, he fucked her face, slow, languorously. "One minute, baby."
Eyes frantic, nose pinching together on each inhale, she finally understood. He wasn't afraid of Brycen catching them. | 317 | [

05f4717f0cef08b5147732217cd75a9a | Ah, what a beautiful love story.
Rian meeds Liadh when they are children, and their friendship is so perfect. So innocent and pure. And amazing. He willingly puts himself out there for his best friend. But after a pretty traumatic event in their young lives, they are torn apart...Cue ugly cry #1
When Liadh once again returns and takes up residence in her mother's old cottage (coincidentally down the lane from Rian's house *wink wink*) she's not the same person she used to be. She's had a hard upbringing, and it shows in her reluctance to interact with anyone. Of course...Rian is having none of that.
Rian has never been able to connect with another girl quite like he did with his best friend at five years old. And when he sees that she's back, he's determined that she stay for good. No matter what.
But with old bitterness still festering, their love is in danger before it even has a chance to sink in.
As well as the main story, we get to hear more of Granny O'Malley's back story, and let me just tell you right here is where ugly cry #2, 3 and 4 happened. Omg, the feels!
All in all, another definite 5* read from Ms. McLoughney. She portrays her characters so well as to make them REAL and easy to relate to. They are pure IRISH and unlike so many writers who take on the Irish characters, they are not caricatures, rather they are the type of people who could be your neighbours, so physical is their presence. Kudos to the author. A wonderful read and one I will re-read again and again. | 318 | [

05f4717f0cef08b5147732217cd75a9a | At the beginning of this book, we're introduced to the harsh reality of River's (Styx's) life. He's just a child and yet murder and body disposal are nothing new to him.
At the same time, we see Salome/Wolf Eyes/Mae, curled up in her own world of hurt, who somewhat reluctantly introduces herself as Sin. This is what she knows. She IS sin. All women are sin.
Two very different world collide as the unlikely pair meet by a tall perimeter fence, and very touchingly make a life-long impact on each other.
Fast forward a span of years, and after an unhealthy dose of hard living on both their parts, they cross paths again when Salome discovers her sister beaten, defiled and dying at the hands of those who are supposed to take care of them all. At this point I was like..
When Styx finds the nameless woman half-dead and curled up behind a dumpster at his compound, his first thought is for the safety of his MC gang, but soon enough he catches a fleeting - and familiar - glimpse of the woman, and decides he wants her to live at all costs. He will stop at nothing to make sure she survives, because he wants - no NEEDS - to know if she is the one woman he's never forgotten. The one he remembers only as Wolf Eyes.
Though he pushes her away, due in part to his own fear of contaminating her pure spirit and his friend's advice, they are forever drawn to each other. Like moths to a flame.
And though he pushes her to the very brink, resulting in some confused feelings and crossed wires between her and another of his gang, he simply cannot be with out. And she feels the same. When they finally get their shiz together it's off the chain!
But enemies old and new are always lurking, within and without, and will stop at nothing to tear this man and his woman apart. With danger lurking around every corner, and a whole new world to contend with, can Mae and River ever find their happily ever after? You'll have to read on to find out! | 319 | null | 169 | [

05f4717f0cef08b5147732217cd75a9a | **NOTE Simon Clark is such an under-appreciated horror writer. I have a lovely hardback collection going.
Lucifer's Ark is a unique and intriguing story.
A passenger ship, a cargo ship, a prisoner transfer ship.
A group of passengers, employees, engineers, prisoners, and terrorists.
Ten psychopaths and two guards to keep them in check.
An eclectic group of passengers, and one with a strange agenda.
All seems to be going well; the prisoners are contained, the guards are maintaining control, the passengers are unaware and the crew is doing a sufficient job.
All is going well...until it's not.
The crew disappears, the guard is attacked and the prisoners are released.
Why? You'll have to read it to find out.
Murder, mayhem, and madness.
The passengers are in for the fight of their lives, and the two guards are in for the Quilp Hunt of theirs.
This is a well-written masterpiece, but I'm biased; I would read Mr Clark's shopping list. | 320 | [

05f4717f0cef08b5147732217cd75a9a | Kode and Tria.
Forever Enemies?
Tria picked that bar so that nobody would know her. She just wanted to get away from the scrutiny and the constant comparisons to her sister. Come on, now - who wouldn't want to get away from that? But when she spots her nemesis, Kode Sterling in the same bar, it's like she's cursed.
Kode spots an alluring woman at the bar and he wants a piece of her. It's his modus operandi. See good looking woman, sleep with her. But this is no ordinary pretty face, and even though it disgusts them both, they spend the night together.
Favorite quote: "Fuck me like you hate me." *swoon*
Anyhoooo, these two frenemies end up equally lusting after and hating each other. Kode has done so many awful things to her over the years, and to hear him say so, Tria has brought it all down upon herself.
Can they let go of the past in order to embrace the future? | 321 | null | 28 | [

05f4717f0cef08b5147732217cd75a9a | Sweet Lord above. I don't even know where to start with this review.
Mia hires someone to rape her. Yes, you read that correctly. Her best friend has done it and suggests that Mia might enjoy it. I know! Sounds ridiculous, right? Then again, we all have our dark fantasies, don't we? And if we had the chance to experiment with them in a safe atmosphere, wouldn't we? Would we? I don't know. I probably would, but hey, I'm a freak lol
So, Mia contacts this rape-for-hire place and sets them up with times and locations to pounce. Only...her submission (pun intended) was not as secure as she thought; someone else spied upon her deepest kink and wants in (again, pun intended :P)
Cue Tax. Ahhhh I love him so much. He's dirty and dangerous and bossy and crude. But oh, so, tortured. This is why he is redeemable in my eyes. He has a debt to settle with sweet little Mia and he won't quit until he gets his pound of flesh.
The one thing Tax never bargained on was getting caught up in Mia's magnetic likeableness. He never counted on wanting to protect her, even from his own sadistic self.
The reason I didn't give this five stars is because I thought him killing his own twin was unnecessary. I would have loved to see Jude survive, full of remorse and find her own happy ending in a future book. | 322 | null | 228 | [

05f4717f0cef08b5147732217cd75a9a | Loved, loved, LOVED it! There are so many things I want to rant about, but I don't want to spoil the book for those who have still to read it. And you should definitely read it. Like...NOW!
We're firstly introduced to someone we know only as "Boy", as he is pulled into the world of cage-fighting. We get a sense that this is not the life Boy is used to as he trembles, wide-eyed at the gore and violence that will be his life from then on. I instantly wanted to put my hand into my Kindle and pull Boy out of the situation he found himself in. Connection - Made.
I felt like crying, and the story hadn't even begun.
Fast forward many harsh and hard years and Boy is now Prisoner 818, no name to speak of, and no memory of who he was before - who he should have been now. His Gulag (prison) is under riot and prisoners are escaping everywhere. All but he, it seems; nobody has the courage to free the savage beast from his cage. Nobody, that is, apart from 362, the only other fighter who could possibly match him in strength and violence. His friend of sorts. Together they flee the Gulag, and Raze's story begins anew.
Revenge is what he needs, desires, and above all else, he WILL have it. He doesn't remember the why or the how, but he remembers the who.
When we meet Kisa, we immediately see that she is in a situation that she desperately needs to be freed from. Yes, it is somewhat of her own making, but knowing nothing else, and fearing the ramifications of leaving, she feels stuck in a life of pain and fear with the one person who should love her above all else - her fiance, Alik.
Alik is crazy, personified. Let's just say his elevator doesn't go all the way to the top floor; it goes straight to the basement instead.
Kisa is the manager of a gym. A very special gym. Once a year in this gym, they host a three-day-fight-to-the-death extravaganza, and Alik ALWAYS wins.
When Kisa finds herself in danger from an assailant on the street, a mysterious stranger comes to her aid. A stranger she can't help feeling drawn to. He saves her life, and in return, she gives him what he needs to get his revenge.
When she discovers that his revenge means that he's entered the death-fights, and the only thing he wants is Alik's death, she feels torn. One one hand wanting only the best for her abusive fiance, but on the other she feels so protective of this stranger, this Raze, who reminds her so much of the one true love she had, and lost.
This is a book that I will read and read again. There aren't many of those, I must admit, and when you read it, you will feel the same. | 323 | null | 232 | [

05f4717f0cef08b5147732217cd75a9a | Meet Tess -- she dreams of The One (who doesn't?) and just can't seem to find him anywhere. It could be because he's under her nose the entire time, and while she was busy looking around, she forgot to look beside her.
Meet Burke -- he tragically lost his wife and is raising his little girl alone. He yearns to be everything Tess needs, but just doesn't think he is.
Get these two alone together long enough and sparks fly. Cue absolute bedlam. The cushion scene made me gigglesnort and shoot coke zero all over my kindle screen.
I don't want to say too much, since a novella is hard to review without spoilers, but just trust me when I say that this is one little taste of Irish hotness you won't want to end.
Another truly hilarious and sweet romance by the talented Michelle McLoughney. Keep your eye on this author; I think you'll be seeing a lot of her in the future!
A firm favourite this Christmas, and one I will re-read. Well done, Ms. McLoughney, little Lily made me ugly cry lol | 324 | [

###
I really enjoyed this book, the story was so intriguing. I attended a take over that the author had and one-clicked the pre-order because I just knew it would be a book I would enjoy.
Livi, poor sweet Livi. She tries so hard to be independent but for one reason or another (mainly her subconscious addiction to Alessandro, I think!) just brought her right back to him.
Alessandro needed a good smack, in my opinion. He has a secret that he's been keeping from her for six years! Six years! And because of this she's been wandering around with a broken heart and no closure.
All the supporting characters were well-fleshed out and none of them felt like caricatures, which can sometimes happen when you're dealing in crime fiction. The author pulled them off quite well, I think.
The reason this is not a five star book for me is two-fold.
1) Too much Italian with hardly any explanation of what's being said.
2) I would have loved to read the story from start to finish (teen years to present) without using flashbacks as a way to tell back-story, even if those flashbacks were well written.
I will be one-clicking the second in the series. | 325 | null | 190 | [

05f4717f0cef08b5147732217cd75a9a | This story picks up ten years after the first book in the series, and I gotta say, I'm relieved that Sasha and Stephan have finally worked things out, even if it's not how she originally hoped. With their story now complete, it's time for Sasha and Etienne to have theirs. But all is not rosy in the garden of love.
Etienne is pushy and demanding and doesn't give her a moment's peace until she gives in to his demands. It's a character flaw that I don't know whether to love or hate, but it suits him.
Sasha is always cautious. Especially around her boys. But when things come into the open and Sasha agrees to accompany Etienne on a trip to France, everything goes belly-up, and not in a good way.
Enter Marcos, stage right-lunatic and creepy dude! He wants Sasha for himself, and nothing will deter him, least of all her connection to Etienne, who I am more and more convinced is some form of royalty.
All in all a strong instalment of the series and I eagerly look forward to the next! | 326 | [

05f4717f0cef08b5147732217cd75a9a | Ah where to start.
Rain's "boys" had a dynamic going on that just kept you reading in amusement to find out what they would get caught up in next. She was the mother hen of the group, always making excuses for their behaviour and never making them stand on their own two feet, but she enjoyed it in a way; it made her feel like family; Rain has never really felt like family to anyone other than her boys.
Dane. Ah, Dane. So much missed time, so many lost opportunities. I love this kind of story, and when they're finally back on common ground, sparks fly. They are made for each other, you know this from the very beginning, but due to that letter at the start (and what a sweet story the beginning was!) neither of them were on the same page at the same time, though they were both at least reading from the same book lol
Hilarious at times, frustrating at others, this entire series is going on my favourites shelf!
Really can't wait for the next in the series after reading the delightful little preview at the end. | 327 | [

05f4717f0cef08b5147732217cd75a9a | Another five star read from this author. I have been officially Tagged, but just as equally Ashed.
Ms Owens certainly knows how to weave a tale that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The chemistry between Tag and Ash was out of this world, and I loved reading about the big softy that hides behind his reputation - a well earned one! - of a bad boy with the morals of an alleycat.
Catching up with the other characters of the series is great, as you get a sense of continuation even after they've gotten their HEAs. | 328 | [

05f4717f0cef08b5147732217cd75a9a | When the first instalment ended with Cameron being kidnapped, I fully expected this book to be about his rescue - hence the title. It IS about his rescue, but not of himself. Surprising storyline!
I love how Mara grew as a character in this one (all the characters showed growth, but none more so than Mara) and when she's finally able to open up about her past (after some pretty HAWT scenes) you feel like she has gained strength from it, rather than lost anything else.
Of course it doesn't hurt that Logan is a truly devoted mate, who loves her completely, emotional scars and all.
The ending was absolutely intriguing and I can't wait to read the next instalment when it's available! | 329 | [

05f4717f0cef08b5147732217cd75a9a | Meet Mara, the damaged but unbroken result of a cruel man and a haunting past. She needs work - and cash - in a hurry, and so decides to take on the job as a cook for a rancher. But the past has a way of rearing its ugly head just when you least expect it, and Mara finds herself tumbling head-first into painful memories and strong arms.
Logan, the bitter and deserted mate of an impossible to forget woman. When she walks back into his life, purely by chance, he realizes that things aren't always as clear cut as he imagines.
Together they revisit the pain of the past, and the prospect of the future. But will their future paths collide? You'll have to read it to find out.
I loved these characters. So relatable and REAL. Nobody is perfect, and everybody has their faults, but with hard work anything is possible to over come.
This is a tale that you don't want to miss. I can't wait to start the second book in the series. | 330 | [

05f4717f0cef08b5147732217cd75a9a | Excellent start to a series. I found myself relating to Sasha quite a bit and as such I didn't know whether to root for her and Stephan or her and Etienne. She is a half-breed in a world of humans, who doesn't find out what she is to become until she is married with children. Awkward! Even more so when she figures out that the vampire who helps her during her transition is her soul mate. *cue frustrations!*
Etienne is secretive and stubborn, but it draws the reader to him in a way. Sasha has always had her own opinion on everything, but valued peace over happiness -- that is until her vampire side takes over and leaves nobody in any doubt about what makes Sasha happy. I loved this. I can't wait to see her further development in book #2. Sasha is going from cowed little housewife to badass vampire in stages.
I'm starting #2 today! I'm hooked! | 331 | [

05f4717f0cef08b5147732217cd75a9a | This. Ruined. Me.
You think you know a story from the blurb. You have no idea. The blurb was a delightful little titbit to reel you in. The blurb was the BAIT.
I must stress that even though I hate this book, I love it too. Blake is just a whirlwind of confusion, lust, confusion again, selfishness, more lust and stupidity. She doesn't know what's best for her, and even if it were pointed out to her, she wouldn't believe you. She's insecure, and damaged and broken inside, and no amount of love can fix that in a hurry, but Casey tries. God love him, he really tries.
Casey is witty and fresh, and sweet and adorable. I love him so much my heart literally bleeds for him during this book. But then again, he has his stupid moments too. Like not telling her how he feels. Not chasing her down when he wants to. Not making her his like he needs to.
This book was written so well that even though some of the topics were usually the types of things that would make me throw a book across the room, I didn't. Instead I huddled in the corner of my couch, GLUED to every page, smiling, laughing, crying, screaming. Fits of rage were not uncommon while I read this. I could, not, put, it, down. Not for a second.
By the end of this book I was screaming, "nooooo!" and vowing to never read another word Ms Mabie writes. But I'm a liar and I will definitely read the next one. In fact, I can't wait for it. And you will feel the same. Read this. Just. Read. This. Damn. Book! | 332 | null | 88 | [

###
Tatum and Ben. I love these guys.
Tatum is losing her sight slowly but surely, and to make the transition easier on her, she needs to hire various people to help her in her personal and professional life. A PA is one of the people she needs to hire.
Cue Ben with his easy charm and his handsome looks. There's an immediate attraction on both their parts, but Tatum doesn't like to mix business with pleasure, and so she goes back and forth arguing with herself over her feelings for this guy.
Ben has no compunction at all with hopping into bed with Tatum, but he demands that she give him her all, rather than just her body. He wants the whole nine yards, and won't settle for anything less.
Throughout the story we see hints from Ben that he's not who he says he is, from a grimace to an all-out melt-down. Tatum, too wrapped up in her feelings for him, sees what she wants to see, and we learn that you don't need to be blind to miss the very thing that's in front of your face.
There were some genuine laugh out loud moments, and some emotion-laden teary ones, and true to form, M. Mabie doesn't shy away from the tougher story-lines.
All in all a very solid 4* from me, and I'm eagerly awaiting the next book she bestows upon us. | 333 | [

05f4717f0cef08b5147732217cd75a9a | This is a gritty and raw story. The writing is fantastic and the flow is perfect. Momentum carries you forward with this book and won't let you go until the very...last...page. Really well written. I would recommend this to all fans of urban fantasy, and lovers of mystery, crime and thriller. Don't let the fact that it's a paranormal book narrow your choices. This story is a huge free-for-all, and I loved every last word. | 334 | null | 183 | [

05f4717f0cef08b5147732217cd75a9a | I had the utmost pleasure of Beta Reading this book, and I gotta say, the premise of this saga is wonderful. I found myself alternatively laughing, crying or clenching my fists in rage at some of the scenes in this book.
Fans of the PNR genre will fall in love with the entire cast of this story.
I can't say too much without giving things away, but the story concentrates on Lilith, a seemingly hopeless and helpless girl grieving for her recently deceased grandfather -- a gentle and loving man...or so she thought. As the story progresses, she realises that she didn't know her beloved Papa as much as she thought she did. In fact, she doesn't even know herself. Sometimes, the deepest secrets are the ones someone has kept about you, and when the closet door creaks open, there's no way of telling what skeletons will fall out.
I really enjoyed this book, and can't wait to read more in the series. | 335 | null | 183 | [

05f4717f0cef08b5147732217cd75a9a | Whilst reading this, I felt a definite connection to each character, and even before a certain pair of thugs redeem themselves, I loved them. It was great to see an author take on so many different cultures in one book and pull it off. You could tell them apart, but not in a cliched way, if you know what I mean? Poor Lisa was just a complete dupe from the get-go, trusting in everyone to look after her so easily. Sad to say some lessons are learned the hard way, and Lisa definitely finds this out as the story progresses.
I was glad that she got her HEA in the end, 'cos after all the crap she'd been through, she more than deserved it. I loved Julian and would like to read a story about him, with cameos from Vic and Mason of course! All in all, a good solid read. The story reminded me of a favorite movie of mine -- Snatch. Anyone a fan of gritty gangster reads should check this out! | 336 | null | 125 | [

05f4717f0cef08b5147732217cd75a9a | This story had great potential, but unfortunately the set up was rushed, and neither character seemed to know what they wanted at any given moment. One second Lila is wondering why Chase won't take a hint and stop stalking her, and the next she's whipping off her clothes in a drunken-sex-she-doesn't-even-remember scene. I didn't like the fact that Chase slept with her even though he knew she was steaming drunk. It just seems seedy.
The author relied on telling us what was happening, rather than showing us and letting us be a part of what was happening, and sadly, because of this I felt disconnected from the story.
I would like to see this re-worked, though; as I said, the story had great potential. | 337 | [

05f4717f0cef08b5147732217cd75a9a | I would have given this five stars, but the chapters from Elec's POV seemed a bit rushed.
I loved this story. I guess I'm a sucker for a bad-boy with a nasty attitude, but I definitely would have kicked him into touch on more than one occasion. Poor Greta made of herself a doormat.
Even though I had issues with the Elec chapters, the rest of the story was written extremely well. The premise was simply delicious, the characters were very well fleshed out and the dialogue between them both was electric.
There were laugh out loud moments of pure entertainment, tense angst-ridden chapters where I wanted to reach in and smack their heads together, and moments of pure undiluted lust. All in all, a good read and definitely one I will re-read. | 338 | [

05f4717f0cef08b5147732217cd75a9a | Five fantastic stars! And every one of them earned.
Let me see. In the first few chapters, I sobbed. For the rest of the story I alternated between wild hysterical laughter, deep depression and a raging case of lust!
This story follows two broken people, both connected by the thread of one young man's death. One little omission makes for broken hearts when a rabid ex opens the closet and all the skeletons come falling out. I wanted to throttle that ex.
What a fantastic story! I loved it from start to finish. Well done, Ms McLoughney - this is by far one of the best indie books I've read in a long time. | 339 | [

05f4717f0cef08b5147732217cd75a9a | A very surprising read, indeed. It was nothing like I expected, and more than once I *gigglesnorted* whilst those around me looked to me in confusion. It was a teensy taste of jocularity that has whet my appetite for more! I will certainly look forward to reading more from this author.
The author's ability to weave such an intriguing tale, making mock of Creationism whilst doing so, is wonderful. As a Christian myself, but also an intelligent and open-minded reader, I found this hilariously good fun.
I would recommend it to anyone with a lunch-hour to spare! | 340 | [

05f4717f0cef08b5147732217cd75a9a | This story starts off somewhat confusing, with all the different characters to keep track of and the time-jumps and flashbacks going on. It seemed a little disorganized, but I stuck with it. I'm glad I did. I enjoyed the book.
I did think all the half-finished sentences were a bit much (I'm perfectly capable of speech in the throes of passion lol) and the way they both needed each other to calm themselves down -- it made it seem as though if there were any other choice, maybe they wouldn't be together. But, I did like the chemistry between these two, and there was a really good, meaty story at the heart of it all, which I look for in any romance.
I will read book two, simply to find out if Ian's dream lover is who I think it is. | 341 | null | 34 | [

05f4717f0cef08b5147732217cd75a9a | Great storyline, loveable guys, with added intrigue and danger.
The only downside to this for me personally, was how Peri went from a strong, independent woman, taking down the bad-guys, wary of strangers and basically self-sufficient -- even if she wasn't getting by very well -- to a soppy, love-struck, hormone-riddled girl. But then again, if I'd just found love for the first time in my life, I think I'd be a bit all over the place, too.
This is a series, so I will be anxiously awaiting Peri's further development. I will definitely be getting the second book, and look forward to learning more about their world and their woes. Can't wait to find out Josef's depth of power, and Peri's untapped strengths. Between the pair of them, methinks Gabe is going to have to start pulling his weight! | 342 | [

05f4717f0cef08b5147732217cd75a9a | How does one review one's own work?
I could tell you how fascinating I find my own characters, and how proud I am of the world they live in, and the magic that makes them tick. I could tell you of the trials and tribulations that they each have to go through to attain the ever elusive Happily Ever After. I could weave an intriguing net built out of the deceit, the cowardice and downright nastiness of those who oppose my heroes, and the shock-waves it causes not just for them personally, but for everyone connected with them.
I could tell you how hard they fought me on certain things and how stubborn they became when I tried to reign them in. I could tell you how large and life-like they became as they wrote their own stories, using me as a conduit. I could tell you most anything, couldn't I?
The only thing I can really tell you is, find out for yourself.
I will leave you with quotes from certain members of the cast, in case you were wanting to speak to them, instead of me. | 343 | [

05f4717f0cef08b5147732217cd75a9a | I didn't expect this book. Honestly. I had read some of the reviews, (no spoilers, though) and thought, "ok, people are enjoying this, so I'll give it a go", but honestly, I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did. Nor hate it as much as I did.
I either loved the characters or hated them, but there were none I felt nothing for.
There I was, thinking this would just be another tale of forbidden love with a HEA at the end. How wrong I was. And even after I finished reading that soul-destroying ending, I kept thinking, "no, that's just...no."
I literally sat on my couch for minutes after ward, reeling. Tragic, hopeless and disgusting, yes, but you do -- you REALLY do -- find yourself wishing they could have been together.
If there's one thing I will take away from this story, it's to never judge anyone. The old saying comes to mind, 'walk a mile in my shoes', and after walking several miles in the shoes of both main characters, I just wanted to gather them up, and find somewhere they could just BE. | 344 | null | 251 | [

05f4717f0cef08b5147732217cd75a9a | This was a great follow-up to the first book in this trilogy. While the re-start was somewhat confusing at first, the story-line soon caught up.
The only complaint I have is, I thought Deidre and Theia were the same person all along, and perhaps that was my own fault for not reading properly...but I don't think it was clear.
Can't wait to finish the third one and see how it all ends.
One little annoyance I have is..."he seduces." "I seduce." I could have seen less of that. | 345 | [

05f4717f0cef08b5147732217cd75a9a | I downloaded this book from Amazon, while perusing the free ebooks. I didn't expect much from a free read, but sometimes you strike gold, and I feel like I've discovered a nice, deep pool of the black stuff right now.
Well fleshed-out characters, great pacing and intriguing story.
I finished it in one sitting and have now bought the other two in the trilogy.
Well played, "free section"...well played indeed haha. | 346 | [

064a7a63b364134ab48d18d1566ed618 | I love this book and have reread it at least twice. I'm always trying to get others to read it and no one ever does. On the surface, it's about a shop where once can barter one part of thier psyche or personality for a new or desired trait. Likewise, they can trade off an undesired trait and take another on in exchange, not always with the desired results. It's an interesting but difficult to explain concept. The story culminates in an iteresting, yet not totally surprising way. I think I remember "putting the peices" together about 3/4 the way through the book the first time. The writing style reminds me of Douglass Adams. I've never read anything else by this author but would like to. | 347 | null | 235 | [

064a7a63b364134ab48d18d1566ed618 | If you haven't read this, you really should. it's easy to discount because it gets so much hype. it took me a while to break down and give in to the peer pressure but I've read it multiple times since then and for a while even carried it around in my work bag to reread sections during down time. i've never done that before with a "spiritual" book. | 348 | null | 111 | [

064a7a63b364134ab48d18d1566ed618 | I read these because my 9 yr old niece is obsessed with them. The Grimm sisters are the descendants of the original Grimm brothers and are tasked with solving mysteries within a hidden community of exiled fairy tales, including the mystery of their parents' disappearance. Witty and enjoyable with a strong female heroine for young readers to admire. It's kind of embarrassing but I'm really eager to read the two most recent installments. | 349 | null | 195 | [

064a7a63b364134ab48d18d1566ed618 | The first new comic book (other than buffy) that's hooked me since my Sandman days. These stories are the adult version of the Sister's Grimm books I also reviewed. Exiled characters from well loved fairy tales living secretly in New York. Snow White and the Big Bad Wolf police their secret society from Manhattan and those who can't appear human (ie. the three little pigs, the billy goats gruff, etc) live upstate on a farm. Sexual intrigue, politics, murder and mayham ensue. Not for children! Well drawn and witty. | 350 | null | 55 | [

0694e247e5e9cfc20fc50d177fda6b6c | I knew nothing about Emily Dickinson before reading this book. Now I feel like I have a good running start. As the title suggests, Roger Lundin sets the book against the backdrop of the religious, political and social events of the times and the extraordinary changes that took place in all those areas throughout the 19th century. Despite the fact that Dickinson was an avowed recluse, she was profoundly affected. Despite seeing people on very rare occasions, she read voraciously, kept up with current events and most importantly, carried on many intimate correspondences by letters with dear friends over years, both men and women. Considered an enigma by many, she left behind an incredible legacy of words through her poetry and letters.
Admittedly I am completely dense when it comes to poetry. Despite the fact that I have written song lyrics, I just don't understand poetry. And here I choose the most difficult of them all to read! But Emily Dickinson is also considered one of the greatest.
Lundin's book was a page turner for me. I knew I was hooked the moment I whipped out my pencil and started my customary conversation with this book. Many underscores and notes later, I am sad that my read is over.
As I had hoped, he devoted a chapter to examining some of the poetry she wrote during her most prolific period which aided greatly in my understanding. Against the backdrop of the Civil War for which she had little first-hand contact save the death of friends and neighbors who fought, she fought her own war within herself, a great turmoil that produced her most brilliant work.
I was most fascinated by her seclusion and how many in her own family accepted it as normal to her character. Her sister-in-law Susan wrote in her obituary the following which I think sums it up perfectly:
"Like a magician she caught the shadowy apparitions of her brain and tossed them in startling picturesqueness to her friends ... who fretted that she had so easily made palpable the tantalizing fancies forever eluding their bungling, fettered grasp." (pg. 265)
From Lundin's description of Dickinson I got the impression that she fashioned her life exactly as she wanted it. She saw her limited options as a mid-19th century woman and made her choices. She was indeed fortunately to have family members, especially Lavinia ("Vinnie") protecting that choice and allowing her to live it even if they did not begin to comprehend Emily's genius.
I can't say that I can now go and read Dickinson's poetry and "get it." But I can certainly try. I can also visit her home in Amherst which is only an hour or so away from me.
How I do love living in New England! | 351 | null | 102 | [

0694e247e5e9cfc20fc50d177fda6b6c | In 1868, a writer desperate to pull her family out of a lifetime of poverty sits down at the tiny half-moon desk in her bedroom to begin work on the book she has dreaded writing. Assigned by her publisher to write a "girl's" book, Louisa May Alcott draws upon the lives of the only girls she ever knew: herself and her sisters. Declaring their childhood experiences "queer," she writes a semi-autobiographical account of portions of her life through the characters of Meg, Jo, Beth, Amy, and the brother she always longed for, Laurie. Little Women is an instant bestseller, catapulting this relatively unknown author into fame and fortune.
The Afterlife of "Little Women" by Beverly Lyon Clark documents the stunning and continuing impact of this children's book around the world and throughout history. This book is a sumptuous feast for every devoted Little Women/Louisa May Alcott fan. Clark, professor of English and Women's Studies at Wheaton College and one of the leading authorities on children's literature has put together the go-to book about the impact of Little Women on the world since its publication in 1868.
Clark takes the 147 years of the novel's life and divides it into four historical periods:
Becoming Everyone's Aunt, 1868-1900
Waxing Nostalgic, 1900-1930
Outwitting Poverty an War, 1930-1960
Celebrating Sisterhood and Passion since 1960
What Little Women shows us
By peering through the lens of Little Women's aftermath, we get a fascinating glimpse into the thinking of the day and how American society in particular saw itself. Though this lens we witness the evolution of children's literature and its impact on Alcott's standing as a serious writer. One point becomes clear: in the end it doesn't matter whether Little Women is considered "great literature"; it is here to stay.
The "softening" of Little Women
Clark's descriptions of the numerous offshoots of Little Women (including books, plays, musicals, movies and television programs) reveal a reoccurring theme: that of softening the enigmatic Jo March in favor of a focus on traditional home and family. This "softening" began with the author, allowing herself to be marketed as "Aunt Jo" by her publisher, and Roberts Brothers trifling with the text for a revised edition of the book in 1880. Edited were many of the colloquialisms in favor of a more polished dialogue. Character descriptions were modified to reflect gender ideals (as in calling Marmee "tall" rather than "stout" and "noble-looking" rather than "not particularly handsome.") (pg. 24). As a smart businesswoman intent on making a profit, proper marketing was always in the forefront of Alcott's mind, and her publisher's as well. Jo March had to be maintained as a "safe" inspiration for girls.
Fun!
The Afterlife of Little Women is a must-read on so many levels. Let's begin with the "fun" factor:
Detailed analyses of just about every derived book (including spinoffs and online fan fiction), play, musical (including an opera), movie and television program ever made about Little Women
Statistics regarding sales of the book throughout the years from countries around the world
Discussion of famous people influenced by Little Women
A listing and discussion of adult and juvenile biographies of Alcott
Translations and interpretations of the book
Analyses of the various illustrations
And of course, reviews of the work
i>The Afterlife of Little Women is a wonk's paradise: every detail you ever wanted (and then some) is included in this thoroughly researched book. It documents not only the public's response to Little Women but also those of scholars, critics and librarians. There are times when the statistical information becomes excessive but overall this does not distract from the enjoyment of this work.
What role did feminism really play?
I had two small quibbles with this book. First there seems to be an insinuation of twenty-first century feminism into the discussion, particularly with regards to plays and movies produced about Little Women in the early and mid twentieth century. Perhaps this was unconscious on Clark's part but it appears that fault is assigned to these productions for their focus on the more mainstream themes of domesticity and romance rather than Jo's artistic goals and independent spirit. It's likely the mainstream audience of that era was simply not ready for the more feminist message of the story. It does however demonstrate just progressive Alcott was.
I was also disappointed that the many adult Alcott biographies that have emerged since the 1960's received small mention (since this is a pet interest of mine). Eden's Outcasts was singled out along with Madeleine B. Sterns' definitive biography. I was however quite surprised that Eve LaPlante's Marmee and Louisa did not warrant a mention; nor did Martha Saxton's controversial work or Harriet Reisen and Nancy Porter's PBS documentary, Louisa May Alcott The Woman Behind Little Women.
These are hardly fatal flaws; this book was a most entertaining and informative read (engaging this reader in a wonderful "conversation" with each page book as evidenced by the numerous comments, questions and underscores).
Little Women lives!
Little Women is a work that quite likely was an accident of genius. Clark's book plumbs that genius through the incredible depth of interpretation explored by illustrators, reviewers, teachers, librarians, scholars and devoted fans alike. It is this level of interest that continues to ensure Little Women's viability. The Afterlife of Little Women shows clearly why this fascinating and endearing book continues to be read and cherished as a classic. | 352 | null | 211 | [

0694e247e5e9cfc20fc50d177fda6b6c | An open mindset is needed when reading Pedlar's Progress by Odell Shepherd -- do not expect a typical biography. In fact, this book on Amos Bronson Alcott is sometimes quite short of actual facts. It is also seriously lacking in objectivity; the biographer is so smitten with his subject that he excuses all of Alcott's fatal flaws, and there were many. DonaEUR(tm)t expect to see a lot of mention of family members (in fact, I think Elizabeth was mentioned more than Louisa). And finally, Shepherd appears to be antagonistic towards women. He is markedly unsympathetic towards the beleaguered yet also very capable and loyal Mrs. Alcott. He is the same towards Elizabeth Peabody, Alcott's faithful (unpaid) teaching assistant at the Temple School in Boston.
And yet, I savored this book from beginning to end. Why? Because I realized this was in fact, a history of a remarkable mind, the process of its evolution. Beautifully written (albeit old-fashioned), this book has real heart; I was not only taught, I was moved. For the first time I came to understand and appreciate this conundrum that is Amos Bronson Alcott.
Shepherd was positively heroic (and perhaps obsessed) to read the voluminous papers of this man aEUR" fifty volumes of journals along with other manuscripts, written in long hand. Having read some of these pages myself, I can attest to the difficulty. Reading someoneaEUR(tm)s handwriting is hard until you figure out the pattern (and Alcott had several different styles of script!). He also was not a good writer and at times it is hard to understand his meaning. Shepherd did grasp it, all of it, and demonstrates his deep understanding in this book.
There is a companion volume of AlcottaEUR(tm)s journal entries that Shepherd transcribed. While useful, it is frustrating that there is so much about what Alcott read and thought and yet so little about his family life. The former is of course very interesting but it is frustrating not having more of his thoughts on daily life with his family considering how prominently family figured into his philosophy of life. | 353 | null | 119 | [

0694e247e5e9cfc20fc50d177fda6b6c | My husband is a big fan of Whitney Strieber and really likes the way he thinks. While I am not interested in the things Strieber writes about, I do think he is a deep thinker. His wife Anne was too and I really enjoyed her columns on their website. She recently passed away and I know the Striebers had a wonderful marriage -- that was the message of Miraculous Journey.
This is a hard book to read, especially if you have fresh memories of someone you love in intensive care. Reading this book caused me to relive those times in the hospital with my dad and then my mom. I'm okay with that but it does still get quite intense.
The Striebers really push the edge of the envelope with regards to spiritual matters, other dimensions, life beyond human life, etc. While I don't agree with many of their conclusions, I very much appreciate their thinking process. Nothing was off the table for these folks and in turn, that makes you think!
Getting back to the message -- descriptions of their marriage and their devotion to each other was very touching, especially now that she has died (long after the book was written). My husband and I are devoted in the same way and I kept thinking of my husband as I read. It was wonderful to read such a life-affirming portrait of marriage.
While not an easy read, I would definitely recommend this book. | 354 | null | 53 | [

0694e247e5e9cfc20fc50d177fda6b6c | I used this book for research and also because of anorexia in my family. While I did not agree with several points in this book, it definitely stirred the pot and opened my mind to new questions to pose; in that sense the book did its job well.
My complaint is that at times it seemed the authors were trying to jam a square peg into a round hole. And while I am certain it was not their intention, there was a dismissal of those who have suffered from anxious somatic depression (of which anorexia is a part) who did not fit into their tight profile. I realize men did not figure into the equation but men do suffer from the disease. I was also surprised at the lack of mention of substance abuse (especially alcoholism) for those who suffer from the disease. I have family experiences in all these examples.
I learned things about myself and my own family that I had not previously considered. I recognized things in myself and particularly in my mother's side of the family which really made sense.
Definitely a worthwhile book. | 355 | null | 159 | [

0694e247e5e9cfc20fc50d177fda6b6c | John Matteson once stated during a reading from his recently published Little Women Annotated that writing biography is an intensely personal experience. Referring to his Pulitzer-prize-winning Eden's Outcasts: The Story of Louisa May Alcott and Her Father, the duo biography of Louisa May Alcott and her father, he noticed amazing parallels between his life and that of Bronson, both teachers and "quixotic" fathers intimately involved in the raising of strong, "verbal" daughters; for one thing, the age difference between himself and his daughter were nearly the same (off by just seventeen days).
That thought of the personal nature of biography sweeps over me as I consider Anne Boyd Rioux's tour de force, Constance Fenimore Woolson: Portrait of a Lady Novelist. In the course of the reading, it became personal for me too. Lingering over this book for months (typical when I am really into a read), scribbling notes in the margin and highlighting paragraphs, I felt I had a profound encounter with a true artist. Woolson was a writer who, while producing works to support herself, never grew weary of doing the very best work she could do until her spirit and body literally gave out. Refusing to follow the path of typical female writers (that of writing for children) she constantly pushed the edge of the envelope, often writing from the point of view of a male lead character. She was relentless in her realism while maintaining a strong connection with the emotions and passions of her characters. She was bold and courageous while all the while, lamenting the fact that she fell short as a woman in her own mind. She longed for her own home and family but writing came first.
The suffering that Woolson experienced in the last few months of her life were hard to bear as they so resembled my own mother's suffering at the end of hers. As there was controversy surrounding Woolson's death (was it suicide or an accident). Rioux did a wonderful job of presenting both sides of the issue. I walked away thinking one way but acknowledging that the other way was entirely possible.
Rioux is passionate about bringing Woolson's writing back into academic reading lists. She has released a book known as Miss Grief and Other Stories which I plan on reading next. With what I know now about Woolson, I am eager for this read.
Woolson became for me an important literary friend, one who challenged me to push a little harder in my writing. I am currently immersed in research for a biography that is intensely personal to me (the story of Elizabeth Sewall Alcott upon whom the character of Beth March is based in Little WomenLittle Women.) and reading Rioux's words inspires me to continue to push on even though much of the time the task seems impossible.
Reading Woolson's story inspired me to completely rework my blogs, even physically tearing away my Be as One blog from the marketing of my two books (River of Grace: Creative Passages Through Difficult Times and Louisa May Alcott: Illuminated by the Message) -- I now maintain separate sites, one for the blog, the other for the marketing. I had lost my writing voice on my blog and and am still struggling to regain it. Woolson gave me the courage to do that despite all the technical difficulties of such a move. She has also inspired me to be more open and vulnerable in my writing which I have been trying out in my Spiritual Journal on my website.
If you are a woman writer looking for a such a friend, I highly recommend Constance Fenimore Woolson: Portrait of a Lady Novelist. If you are looking for proof that biographies are indeed personal (stories that are just as engrossing and powerful as any fiction), try out Anne Boyd Rioux's book (and John Matteson's too). You may too walk away with a new friend. | 356 | null | 211 | [

0694e247e5e9cfc20fc50d177fda6b6c | SETTING
Flight of the Sparrow, set for release on July 1, goes back to the beginning of the Puritan settlement in Massachusetts, using historical fiction to portray the devastating consequences of the epic clash between the English and the Native American. The setting is King Phillip's war, taking place in the mid 1670's; its consequences are played out through one Puritan woman and one Nipmuc man.
MAIN CHARACTERS
Mary Rowlandson was the wife of a minister in the town of Lancaster. Brown's main character is based upon a real-life woman whose experiences are documented in a book she co-wrote called The Sovereignty and Goodness of God, Together with the Faithfulness of His Promises Displayed, Being a Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson. This religious memoir of her three months as an Indian captive was the first "best-seller" in English America (pg. 329).
James Printer, also known as Wowaus, came from Hassanamesit, a Praying Indian settlement founded by John Elliot who translated the Bible for the Indians to aid in their conversion to Christianity. The remains of Hassanemesit are located in my hometown of Grafton, Massachusetts.
James Printer helped to set the type for the first edition of Mary Rowlandson's book. For a time after the war he resided in the sole remaining Praying Indian settlement, Natick, just one town over from my childhood home of Wellesley.
SUMMARY OF STORY
After the town of Lancaster is attacked and burned, Mary is taken captive along with her three children by the Nipmuc tribe (her husband Joseph was away at the time). In the course of the battle, her sister Elizabeth is wounded and then killed by fire, Mary herself is wounded, and her youngest daughter Sarah is also wounded mortally; she would die several days later as the captives are led away bound with rope. Mary carries Sarah as far as she can, struggling to ease her daughter's pain, knowing there is nothing she could do to save her. Adding to her burden is her separation from her other daughter Marie and son Joss.
Living in sheer terror from moment to moment during that march, Mary experiences unexpected kindness from James Printer, who frees her from the rope around her neck. It would prove to be the first of several encounters for Mary with this mysterious, handsome and compassionate man.
COLLISION OF CULTURES
During the first half of Flight of the Sparrow, Brown describes Mary's captivity, weaving in detailed, colorful and honest descriptions of Native American life. Presenting the beauty and nobility along with the cruelty, Brown brings us into the increasing turmoil of Mary's mind and heart. Terrified of and angry with her captives one moment, she finds herself admiring their way of life in the next. She gradually accepts Indian ways, from the freestyle way of dress to time spent outdoors, finding solace in the beauty that had before eluded her. She experiences the growing pains of a personal horizon expanding, a heart growing, and the old orderly and rigid ways of her life slowly falling away. In her captivity she discovers a freedom of movement and thought denied to her as a Puritan woman. It is a freedom she will sorely miss when she returns to English society. She is frightened to discover that her rock-solid Christian faith, regimented by spoken prayers and long scripture passages, is failing her. In the end she tries to bargain with James Printer to stay with the tribe when her time to be ransomed arrives.
PERSONAL INVOLVEMENT
There is of course one other problem: Mary has developed feelings for James and the feelings are mutual. She is able to talk with him freely, expressing herself in ways she never could with her husband Joseph. She finds herself thinking of him and wishing to stay with him despite her status as a married woman.
INNER TURMOIL
Brown does an excellent job of presenting the moral dilemmas Mary faces both in her captivity and her restoration to the English. I struggled with her status as a slave and the cruelty she endured and yet rejoiced too at the unexpected generosity and kindness of the captors towards that slave. I empathized with Mary's painful and yet exhilarating transformation as she grew to accept and then love her life with the Indians. I mourned as she was separated from James, the man she truly loved, having to return to the oppressive life she led with Joseph, whom she no longer loved. I felt her grief over Sarah and her concern for her other missing children, her longing to be back with the Indians and her surprising loss of personal freedom as she returned to her old life of repression, rules and propriety. I mourned the loss of her faith and her inability to transcend her Puritan ingraining which favored the letter of the law over than the spirit. While she was able to embrace that all peoples are children of God thus deserving respect and compassion, she could not see that God himself existed beyond the Bible and spoken prayers.
TURMOIL OF A NATION
The empathy did not stop with the individual characters. Brown expands that empathy to an entire nation of people who, because they lost King Phillip's war to the English, had their way of life taken from them. Although Brown is equally honest regarding the horrific actions of both sides in the war, the consequences for the Indians prove to be the most heartbreaking.
THE VALUE OF THE STORY
The depth of research that went into the creation of Flight of the Sparrow was evident in the compelling and authentic telling of the story. Brown is not hemmed in by the facts but rather uses those facts as a means of letting her imagination create a multi-layered and emotionally satisfying story. The life journeys of Mary and James not only touch the heart but challenge the mind as well. Just as Mr. Emerson's Wife exposed and expanded my narrow way of thinking, Flight of the Sparrow caused me to search my heart when it came to meeting and knowing people who are not like me. While Brown's aim may have been to tell a story about a period she was not familiar with so that she could learn more about her herself and her New England heritage, she has provided that service to this reader as well. | 357 | null | 211 | [

0694e247e5e9cfc20fc50d177fda6b6c | I read this book for a couple of reasons, one, because the last of my two children moved out over Christmas and the other, for research for a book I am writing. I found the essays quite useful in helping me to understand how I feel about the kids being gone. I wish there hadn't been so much emphasis on the college experience because to me that's just the dress rehearsal; there was only really one essay (by Ellen Goodman) that explored the years after college and how adult children and parents relate (this is what I was really looking for).
Still, I found many things to which I could say "Yes!" I walked away with a better understanding of the child that just left. It gave me much to ponder for the chapter in my book that will focus on this period.
I enjoyed the writing. There was one in particular by Jamie Wolf that showed me just how powerfully sensory description can tell a story. I marked off that chapter for future reference. | 358 | null | 213 | [

0694e247e5e9cfc20fc50d177fda6b6c | I havn't known a book to affect me so profoundly as My Name is Asher Lev. The conflict is deep, searing, cutting to the core. It helped me to understand better the nature of being a creative person and the sacrifice it takes to be authentic and honest, even to the point of hurting others. The book is a long, slow burn, every page necessary to set up the final conflict. At the end I was racing through, dreading the end as tears sprung to my eyes and yet terribly curious about how the author would resolve the conflict. How grateful I am that there is a part two, The Gift of Asher Lev, now waiting for me at the library, ready to be picked up in just a few minutes.
I read this book as a means of priming my own creativity as I strive to begin work on my first book which is due one year from now. It's caused me to journal in a way I haven't done before and I can feel the stretching inside from reading it.
I am grateful to Chaim Potok for writing such a book. I recommend it highly to anyone who takes the creative life seriously and strives to be excellent and to do something truly great with their art. | 359 | null | 95 | [

0694e247e5e9cfc20fc50d177fda6b6c | I just finished reading The Journals of Bronson Alcott. I was fascinated, stimulated and deeply moved. Let no one judge Bronson Alcott until they have done a thorough study of his life (which I have not yet done but I've been reading). This man is far more complex and cannot be summed up in a soundbite. He was a brilliant, original thinker, a lover of life and Spirit and a deeply flawed man. It's impossible to do a blog post on this book, there's just too much to ponder. I can only urge you to read for yourself and see what it offers. I can tell you it is the extraordinary evolution of a long and fruitful life with much penetrating commentary and insight on some of the most brilliant people of 19th century America. | 360 | null | 75 | [

0694e247e5e9cfc20fc50d177fda6b6c | Transcendental Wife by Cynthia Barton is a wonderful book, totally devoted to the life of Abigail May Alcott, mother of Louisa May Alcott, the model of "Marmee" in Little Women. Barton writes with economy and stays laser focused on her subject which is Abigail. If you want to find out more about Louisa, you won't find it here, at least directly. By learning about Abigail, you will certainly see how Louisa emerged to be the woman and writer that she was.
I have read Eve LaPlante's book, Marmee and Louisa and while I enjoyed that book very much (especially because of LaPlante's unique perspective as a living relative of Abigail), I preferred Barton's treatment. Barton did not treat Abba as a perennial victim but rather a woman who successfully fought through tremendous adversity to realize great success in her "girls": Anna, content and successful in her chosen domestic life, Louisa, world-famous author and dutiful daughter who cared for her dear mother right up to the end, and May, accomplished artist, gracious woman, independent and happy.
In Barton's description, Abba is, in fact, complicit with Bronson. She loved him to the end. Oh yes, she had many misgivings about his utopian schemes and suffered greatly as a result of his principles which "prevented" him from being gainfully employed. But as Barton pointed out during Abba's stint as a social worker, Abba was equally dedicated to HER principles and like Bronson, "failed" in her employment because of those principles (feeling compelled to resign her position as a missionary to the poor because her sponsors, a collective of wealthy women did not match her commitment to helping the poor to find work and lift themselves out of poverty).
Abba did feel it necessary to take over the care of the family and learned to rise as an equal to her husband in every respect - as a human being and as a Christian. I found this evolution to be especially interesting as she worshiped him originally, placing herself pretty much at his feet as a disciple. That she was able to still love him, and love his ideals, and love his commitment to principles is pretty amazing.
The last paragraph of the book contains a touching line from Louisa's journal which brought a tear to my eye, reminding me of how vested I had become in the life of Abigail Alcott.
Transcendental Wife is not an easy book to find but if you are seriously interested in the Alcott family, I highly recommend this book as essential reading. LaPlante's book is necessary too but Transcendental Wife definitely presents the more balanced picture.
As a side note, Barton presents some new information on Elizabeth Alcott including a touching letter to her mother dated August of 1853. If you are interested in Lizzie as I am, you will consider this a find.
Transcendental Wife is cited by many Alcott scholars and for good reason. | 361 | null | 75 | [

0694e247e5e9cfc20fc50d177fda6b6c | I read this book as research for a project and found it to be far more than just a clinical history of a disease. Since anorexia nervosa is a psychological disease influenced by personal family history and societal culture, I got a wonderful overview of the social history of food and women particularly over the 19th and 20th centuries where the disease is prevalent.
Anorexia was first specified as a disease in the 1870s by both British and French doctors. Freud had not yet hit the scene so anorexia was pretty much discussed and treated as a strictly medical ailment. Often described as a "wasting disease" similar to TB in the ravages upon the body due to extreme weight loss, anorexia baffled many with regards to treatment because the mind and the emotions were not yet considered. French physician Dr. Lasegue attempted to discuss the influence of the family dynamic upon the patient and cited unrequited love from a male suitor as a possible cause.
Dr. Brumberg describes the Victorian culture of the Gilded Age, describing a petrie dish of conditions for the disease. There is way too much to get into here - all I can say is if you love social history, you will enjoy her analysis and find it enlightening. I found myself wondering if anorexia was perhaps at the level it is at today considering the conditions, but it was too new a disease at the time and was not always diagnosed.
She then gets into the twentieth century with the decline of the religious, self-sacrificing life and the rise of the Cult of Self (my words), describing the rapid changes throughout the century. She describes the growth of the beauty and diet industries, striving to achieve essentially the same goal as the Victorians sought to achieve by different means - attracting the right man.
You may want to read this book to learn more about anorexia nervosa but I highly recommend it also (especially in the last few chapters) for those interested in an overview of social change for women and society. | 362 | null | 83 | [

0694e247e5e9cfc20fc50d177fda6b6c | This book is worth the mental gymnastics! I am pouring over it slowly and am really enjoying it. For the first time I am able to understand what Emerson is saying thanks to the commentary by the author. Although I instinctively understand Emerson's meaning I do have a hard time reading his words. This book really caused me to think and wrestle with what was being said (plus I found myself needing dictionary.com with me at all times to look up words - great way to build vocabulary). I just recently visited Emerson's house in Concord and thought of this book as I could feel the vibe in the house. There was a tremendous sense of tranquility and beauty there; having a better understanding of how Emerson thought made that visit so much more meaningful. I highly recommend this book if you want a better understanding of what shaped Emerson's spirituality which is the essence of the man himself. | 363 | null | 53 | [

0694e247e5e9cfc20fc50d177fda6b6c | In my quest to learn more about what goes on in the mind of a sufferer of Anorexia Nervosa, I turned to this book after it was mentioned in Little Girl Blue: The Life of Karen Carpenter. I didn't expect much out of this book but I was quite surprised at candid the author was about her illness. It was the perfect follow-up to Little Girl Blue in that now I was getting into the mind of the person who had the disease.
O'Neill tiptoed around her parents which was one part of the book I found disappointing. In fact, she gave a tantalizing tease later in the book when she talked about her therapy but again, did not reveal any details. I was not interested in seeing her parents trashed in public (and it's obvious she loves her parents) but family interaction plays such a role in the disease that it was a critical part of the story that was missing.
I finally understand what an anorexic sees in the mirror. I never understood the whole distorted body image thing but O'Neill explained it very well. And while I was somewhat familiar with the obsessions and rituals that anorexics go through with food (having seen it in my own family), I was shocked at the self-abuse O'Neill imposed on herself. It's a miracle she didn't suffer more permanent health consequences from the things she did. She spared no detail which made for some rough reading. I learned a lot from reading it.
I was convinced that O'Neill wrote this book to help others. Why else would you lay out your life in that way? It certainly was not going to do her reputation any good for people to know such intimidate details. O'Neill had shared her manuscript with Karen Carpenter hoping it would help her, and she also befriended Carpenter.
O'Neill's insights are sharp and clear. I never felt like her story was self-indulgent in any way. Her husband came off as human, struggling to understand the disease as she did. They both, however also came off as courageous and committed to O'Neill's recovery.
Do not be put off because O'Neill is a Christian or because she is Pat Boone's daughter. This is not squeaky clean reading by any means. There is no "miracle;" instead there is hard work, failure, and climbing back up the hill yet again to recovery.
A key factor to O'Neill's recovery was her ability to turn her focus to others and away from herself. A mission trip to Hawaii with her husband that was only supposed to last two months lasted two years and had an amazing healing effect. This was no vacation; there was a lot of hard work involved. But that focus on the welfare of others really made a difference in her life.
I enjoyed hearing from her parents in their letters at the end of the book, and especially from her husband Dan and her therapist, Dr. Vath. Dan O'Neill employed the use of Elisabeth Kubler-Ross' stages of grief (for death or a terminal illness) to describe his and Cherry's journey through anorexia. It was most enlightening. And Dr. Vath provided much needed medical input which was easy to read and understand.
I recommend this book if you have a loved one with this terrible disease. I have found it very helpful in deepening my understanding of my family member and our family in general. | 364 | null | 225 | [

0694e247e5e9cfc20fc50d177fda6b6c | I am doing research on Anorexia Nervosa for a novel I plan on writing and instantly thought of Karen Carpenter as a place to start. Little Girl Blue turned into much more than just a book for research. Randy Schmidt revealed a life that was was very sad. Here was a woman who supposedly had it all and yet had so little in the end. It is unfortunate that Schmidt could not talk to Karen herself but given the nature of anorexia, he wouldn't have gotten much out of her. Anorexics are masters at deception, denial and lying. It is an addiction not to food but to control over one's body, especially when that person has no control over anything else in their life.
I also regret that the family would not cooperate but from what I gathered in this book, they were in as much denial as Karen. No one truly understood the nature of this disease. The parents are dead, only Richard Carpenter survives.
Agnes Carpenter is shown to be a difficult, obsessive-compulsive and cold woman towards her daughter. She greatly favored her son at the expense of her daughter, never giving Karen the credit she deserved for the Carpenters' success. No matter how brilliantly Richard played the piano, chose songs or arranged them, it was the voice of Karen that sold them to the public. To Agnes, it was all about her darling boy achieving success. And Karen was locked into that formula whether she wanted it or not.
Most times Karen did want it, revering her brother as her mother did. But she was so locked in that she could not break out and lead an independent life. Two chapters in the book were especially heartbreaking. One dealt with Karen's desire to record a solo album, allowing her the ability to explore and expand her artistry. Richard at the time was hospitalized due to an addition to quaaludes so Karen took the opportunity to fly to New York from their LA home to work with producer Phil Ramone. Ramone nurtured Karen in her exploration and together they made a worthy and personal recording. Karen received much encouragement from industry professionals and performers including Paul Simon, Billy Joel and Olivia Newton-John. The return home should have been triumphant but instead was devastating. Her family and her label utterly rejected the album, threatened by its very existence. Fearing that Karen would not wish to resume work with Richard as the Carpenters, the entire family trashed her creation. Her label, A&M, was no more supportive. Agnes and Richard were particularly cruel. This proved to be the first nail in her coffin.
The second, which followed soon after, was her disastrous marriage to Tom Burris. Surprisingly he was accepted by her family when other men had not, but I believe it was because he was not in the industry and thus not deemed as a threat. They were so wrong. Burris ended up being a gold digger. He deceived Karen about a vasectomy he had had years earlier, telling her just before the wedding. Since having children was a top priority for her, Karen felt betrayed and wanted to cancel the wedding. Instead Agnes pressured her into marrying him for appearances sake, telling her that she had made her bed and now had to lie in it!
Second nail in the coffin.
Karen tried to seek help but it was on her terms. She never was able to truly let go and allow someone else to help. A poster child "good girl," she could give it all away but had an impossible time receiving love, affection and praise. She did not feel worthy of treatment.
Schmidt draws upon close friends and colleagues for the material in Little Girl Blue. Given the resources he had (and lack of access to family), he did a good job of bringing Karen's story to light.
Schmidt, a schoolteacher by day, is a huge Carpenters' fan who channeled his passion into a fan site for several years. Known for his meticulous the thorough research in the Carpenters fandom world, he earned the trust of Karen's closest associates and ended up writing a book that read like a novel. It was taut, poignant and objective.
As a singer, I loved reading the description of Karen's voice by industry professionals and had no idea she sang so softly as her voice sounds so full and big on the recordings. I have always enjoyed listening to her singing through headphones because the subtle nature of her phrasing and interpretation would otherwise be missed. Her singing is effortless, nearly perfect and yet tinged with melancholy.
If you are a fan of the Carpenters, I highly recommend this book. With regards to my research, it aided me greatly and was a good first choice, ushering me into more reading on the subject of anorexia. | 365 | null | 78 | [

0694e247e5e9cfc20fc50d177fda6b6c | Don't be fooled by the cover - it doesn't begin to tell the story. This is a gorgeous oversized edition (measuring 9" x 10" x 2") with an elegant choice of typefaces, filled with color plates, letters written by Louisa and her publisher Thomas Niles and commentary on each page which enhances the reading experience. Shealy introduces the book with an interesting essay about the extensive revisions made to the text between its original publication in 1868 and the revised version in the 1880s. In many respects the revisions were a response to negative criticism about the slang Alcott used throughout the book being a poor example for children! Fortunately Shealy uses the original text which is more vibrant and real. A second essay includes photos of each of the main players from the Alcott family. Alcott drew from the deep well of her personal life to bring Meg, Jo, Beth, Amy, Marmee and Laurie to life. Shealy includes analysis of the era, fascinating anecdotes and great trivia. If you love Little Women, you will want this edition as a keepsake to pass down to children and grandchildren. | 366 | null | 43 | [

0694e247e5e9cfc20fc50d177fda6b6c | Pat Gohn, writer, speaker and host of the popular SQPN podcast, "Among Women" presents in her debut book, Blessed, Beautiful and Bodacious: Celebrating the Gift of Catholic Womanhood a new brand of feminism based upon the life of the Blessed Virgin Mary and writings by John Paul II where he coined the phrase "feminine genius." In her brand of feminism, there is no holding back: "The most excellent women, the bodacious women, are women who authentically live their dignity and gifts. They don't keep beauty and blessing to themselves. They lovingly lavish it upon others ... their ability to stretch and serve sends positive ripple effects into the world."
This is about power but not the power of domination over men. It's the power to be fully female. And that power is drawn from within, from the Source that created women in the first place.
Pat also grew up during the women's liberation movement. She was ambitious, wanting to make her mark in the world: "I was schooled in the cultural cliche that told women that you are what you do. My generation was among the first expected to compete with men - not rely on them or trust them ... There was so much to achieve and I was an eager achiever." (pg. 12)
Pat was also a spiritual woman, devoted to her Catholic faith. She found increasing disparity between grasping for outer achievement and "living from the inside out." It didn't seem to add up.
Marriage and motherhood only served to aggravate her frustration. She could no longer live for her own desires and ambitions; there were others to consider. Priorities had to be set - what was most important?
It was here and frequently throughout the book that I kept writing, "That's me!" or "Me too!" in the margins. Pat's candid sharing of her life experience and how she eventually reconciled it through a growing knowledge and devotion to Mary mirrored my own life.
Pat's message is especially important to women of my generation and before. Too many times I have witnessed women who have no sense of their own worth, who don't love themselves enough to take time for themselves, to nurture themselves. They spend every last bit of love and energy on those around them and often without recompense. I have seen such women sad, depressed and burnt out. All this even though these same women grew up seemingly enjoying the advantages of women's liberation.
I long for these women to read chapters 4-7 where Pat spells out the beautiful gifts of women: receptivity, generosity, sensitivity and maternity.
* Receptivity: the capacity to recognize and receive love. Seeking out and drawing in those around us into relationship.
* Generosity: the giving of ourselves to others, the natural extension of receptivity - we receive love, therefore we give love.
* Sensitivity: sensing and discerning things of the heart, those things of God. Sometimes called feminine intuition, sensitivity allows us to read others and attend to their needs as a result.
* Maternity: giving life, whether literally (as in having a baby) or figuratively in the way we care for others.
These are the gifts to cherish, the ones that make a true difference in the lives of others. This is what Pat means by "living from the inside out." These gifts must be nurtured from within, connected intimately with the God who gave them. They are what changes lives forever for the good.
Pat writes often of Mary as the courageous example because of her unwavering "yes" to God to bear His son. This "yes" wasn't a "yes" of duty but one given in trust despite not knowing how it would impact her life. She joyfully accepted her role and couldn't wait to share the news with her cousin, Elizabeth. It was a "yes" that would lead to glorious blessings and deep suffering, all of which she pondered in her heart. Pat writes: "Submission to God's plan is anything but a weak choice ... Being a loving and faithful servant did not demean Mary; it fulfilled her ... Mary helped me find the grace I needed to lay down my old self-centered ways - in exchange for a new a joyful feminine love that embraced others without fear and without having to receive something in order to give." (pg. 57)
Blessed, Beautiful and Bodacious affirms the choices I made for my children back when I was a young mother. It affirms the path I take today, growing in faith and learning how to give away all the love I receive from my God within. Pat's journey was my journey and I believe it may be yours, too. It's a journey, and a book, that I can heartily recommend. | 367 | null | 114 | [

0694e247e5e9cfc20fc50d177fda6b6c | I read this book in 6th grade and decided to read it again when I heard that Jean Craighead George had passed away. It's been 44 years since I've read this book and I loved it just as much this time as I did the last time. Sure, you have to suspend belief for this story to work (I mean really, a boy, Sam Gribley. just coming into his teens knows how to survive in the wild and can create interesting meals out of what he finds in the forest and can make his own clothes?) but it's such an engrossing story (and a tempting idea) that it's easy to just go with the flow.
Of course I thought of Henry David Thoreau as I read this book (Sam is even referred to as "Thoreau" by a friend). Unlike Thoreau though, Sam slowly comes to realize he needs human companionship and welcomes his family moving into his forest space (yes, this required suspending belief too, along with his parents never really looking for him except for his father showing up at one point).
My sister and her husband own 2 primitive cottages in the woods of Ashburnham, MA on Lake Winnekeag - I told her to make sure she reads My Side of the Mountain on the porch of her cottage. It's the perfect summer read for nature lovers. | 368 | null | 177 | [

0694e247e5e9cfc20fc50d177fda6b6c | I read this book a long time ago when I was in the 6th grade. I had a major love of horses back then and remember reading this in our school's reading book that had selected chapters from books to get you to read the whole book. It hooked me on The Wild Heart (and on Jean Cleghorn George's My Side of the Mountain too). I remember impatiently waiting for WEEKS for this book to be available to take out of the school library and it was so worth it. If you have a daughter with a fetish for horses and you can find this book (it's quite rare), get it! | 369 | null | 177 | [

0694e247e5e9cfc20fc50d177fda6b6c | I wanted to read this book because I was curious about the Cultural Revolution. Last fall I got to visit the Chinese house at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, MA http://www.pem.org/sites/yinyutang/ - the entire house was brought over piece by piece - it had been in the same family for over 200 years. There was an audio tour narrated by Amy Tan. I had never heard of the Cultural Revolution before and became quite curious about it.
Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress is about two teenage boys who, along with hundreds of thousands of others, were exiled to the countryside for "re-education." The crime of the narrator and his best friend, Luo? They were sons of doctors who were considered enemies of the people. In the course of the story, they meet the Little Chinese Seamstress, a beautiful girl full of spirit but lacking in learning whom Luo falls in love with.
The boys come across a magnificent treasure - a suitcase full of forbidden books, all Western, translated into Chinese. One author in particular, Balzac, captures their fancy and transforms all their lives, most especially the Seamstress.
The book is short and fast-paced and is very informative. Dai Sijie, the author, writes with clarity. His descriptions were graphic - I could really feel all that the characters were going through from the work detail to the treacherous terrain and travel conditions, to sickness, and to desperation.
The underlining theme of the book was the transforming nature of reading and stories, how they broaden and stretch the mind and the heart, taking you to new places. As a relatively new reader, this has been my experience so far, especially in the last year. I've come across books that I classify as "game-changers" because they altered my thinking. These characters go through a similar transformation.
Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress transported me to a place and time of great significance and I was glad to be able to visit. For one thing, it helped me to better appreciate all the blessings I have living here in the US where thought and learning are not stifled.
Thanks to my friend Nancy for the referral! | 370 | null | 173 | [

0694e247e5e9cfc20fc50d177fda6b6c | The Glory Cloak by Patricia O'Brien is an historical novel featuring Louisa May Alcott and Clara Barton. It covers the Civil War through the eyes of a fictitious Alcott cousin, Susan Gray, who comes to live with the Alcotts after being orphaned. Susan becomes Louisa's constant companion, confidant and critic. Together they volunteer to serve as nurses in the Civil War where they meet Clara Barton; eventually Susan will work with Clara to continue her service in a most extraordinary way.
The Glory Cloak moves so quickly that I could have read it in one sitting if the time had presented itself. It was a blessing at the gym, seeing as I hadn't worked out in three weeks. I was so engrossed in the story that I forgot all about my aches and pains!
The story begins with a 1997 discovery of Clara Barton's office on the third floor of a building in Washington slated to be torn down. This is the office where Barton, with just a handful of volunteers, sought (successfully) to find and identify thousands of missing dead soldiers. This story, based on fact, is crucial to the plot.
Through her made-up characters (Susan Gray, John Sulie (based on the real life character of John Suhre from Hospital Sketches), Belle Poole, Liddy Getty), O'Brien takes the reader deep into the horror of a Civil War hospital inundated with wounded. She also takes us into the minds of her real characters, most especially Louisa May Alcott and Clara Barton.
I have never read anything before on Clara so I cannot judge how realistic her portrayal was in the story. However, my interest was piqued and I plan on finding out more about her.
I do know Louisa fairly well and was intrigued with the theories that O'Brien floated about her throughout the story. I am going to explore those theories in detail on my blog at http://louisamayalcottismypassion.wor....
Susan Gray and her family visited the Alcotts for a week or two twice every year. Outspoken and spirited like her cousin, she and Louisa, ten years her senior, became close life-long friends. When Susan's family was wiped out by a typhoid epidemic, she wrote to Louisa, asking to be taken in.
Susan delighted in Louisa's brash and boyish ways. In one scene, the two girls are sitting in an apple tree; Louisa dares Susan to climb to a high branch and hang upside down by her knees. Eager to please though terrified at the thought, Susan complies and is secretly proud of herself for being so audacious.
It was this theme of the "dare" that would be repeated throughout the book.
The title of the book refers to a special real-life cloak made for the Alcott girls for their theatricals. Louisa came to use it whenever she wrote (complete with a hat) and while stories abound as to how it came into her possession, it was Lizzie (aka Beth in this story) who bequeathed the robe to Louisa despite her own fondness of it:
"Beth laughed, removing the wrap. 'Oh girls, it's too much for me. Lou, you're the only one who can wear this and do it justice. You have the flair for it.'
'No -' Lou began to protest.
Beth was firm. "It's your cloak, It's your glory cloak. You will do wonderful things wearing it, I am sure of it.' "
It continued to be Louisa's costume of choice whenever she would disappear into her vortex of writing.
Susan came to live with the Alcotts shortly after Lizzie had died. Louisa was establishing herself as the breadwinner of the family through her writing, and Susan, wishing also for purpose, used her talents as a hat maker in the local shop in downtown Concord.
Susan noticed immediately how duty-bound and somber her cousin had become. Scarred and yet motivated by all she had lost, Louisa was bound and determined to be the Alcott breadwinner and even tried to discourage Susan from working in the local shop, claiming that the Alcotts were "above" being merchants.
As the Civil War began to rev up, Louisa and Susan became restless, eager to become a real part of the action. Hearing that nurses were needed, they volunteered and set off together on their grand adventure to Washington, D.C. (known as Washington City at the time). They had no idea what they were getting into.
Both sheltered and prim, Susan and Louisa see a much broader view of the world at the Union Hospital. Here O'Brien introduces several colorful characters including the worldly Liddy Getty and the unscrupulous assistant head nurse, Belle Poole.
The Glory Cloak uses Louisa's Hospital Sketches and greatly expands upon the descriptions of pain, horror and death. Details are gruesome - there is no romanticizing here, especially when the wounded begin streaming in from the disastrous Battle of Fredericksburg.
It is here that we meet the focal point of the novel, John Sulie.
O'Brien describes John as Alcott described him: large, manly, exceedingly handsome. But while Louisa's description in Hospital Sketches is that of a noble saint, O'Brien's Sulie is rougher, mysterious and very well-read. Louisa is immediately attracted to him and the feeling is mutual. It begins with discussions of Milton and Whitman (Walt Whitman even makes a cameo appearance) and soon the chemistry between the two is obvious.
However, Louisa is not the only one attracted to Sulie - so is Susan. John Sulie becomes a major test to their friendship.
Eventually Louisa is sent home nearly dying of typhoid and Sulie disappears. Both she and Susan are greatly changed by their "grand adventure" and the deep sorrow that came of it. Louisa loses herself in her writing and Susan seeks greater purpose. Enter (again) Clara Barton.
Clara Barton has achieved a noble reputation for her nursing of the wounded in the field. Now she is obsessed with finding all the missing soldiers.
Susan offers to help but this time Louisa does not follow her cousin. Instead she goes to Europe as a companion to invalid Emma Weld (based on Anna Weld). Duty supersedes adventure for Louisa.
Clara and Susan, along Liddy Getty and Tom Cassidy, a soldier Susan had nursed who was sweet on her, work to answer thousands of letters from distraught families looking for their husbands and sons. Enter again John Sulie who holds the answer.
What follows is a breathtaking series of events (some tragic) that test the mettle of Susan's friendship with Louisa. These events also demonstrate the amazing strength of one woman, Clara Barton, and the astonishing things she was able to accomplish.
I loved this book! I haven't lost myself in a story this much since reading Gone with The Wind. The Glory Cloak is not nearly so epic, but it is powerful. I am so glad I had read Gone with the Wind because The Glory Cloak gives a decidedly northern point of view on the war. I found myself thinking of the southern side as presented through Scarlett O'Hara while reading O'Brien's take.
The historical details are fascinating, especially the many references to personal feminine life such as hygiene and the change of life. I had always wondered how women in the 19th century dealt with these issues - now I have an idea.
Susan Gray proved to be a terrific vehicle for getting in the heart, mind and soul of Louisa as well as other members of the Alcott family. It's obvious which members of the family O'Brien found most interesting. Younger sister May was very Amy-like, yet still quite likable. Lizzie was hardly mentioned as if O'Brien didn't know what to do with her. Anna played a small role but was beautifully presented.
O'Brien's contempt for Bronson was palpable - the man could do nothing right! I found her presentation of Abba to be quite curious at first and couldn't really figure out what she thought of her until I reached the end of the book.
If historical fiction is meant to tempt us to find out more then O'Brien did her job well. Clara Barton was very interesting to me. The second half of the book focused on her and what a powerhouse she was! She lived the life of an autonomous, fiercely independent spinster woman with nobility and power. All I can say is, "Wow!"
I appreciated that O'Brien could be provocative without openly poking the reader with jabs (which is what I am finding with Geraldine Brooks' March). The Glory Cloak showed this newbie writer just how bold one must be to write convincing historical fiction, especially if that fiction is based upon real-life, well-loved characters. O'Brien's theories were backed up with thoughtful, well-executed and believable scenarios. She reinforced what I've long suspected, that one must dig very deep and set the imagination free to succeed at writing something that will carry the reader away and touch the heart. Writing is not for the fainthearted! | 371 | null | 9 | [

0694e247e5e9cfc20fc50d177fda6b6c | The Chosen by Chaim Potok has shot to the top of my list of best books. Although the subject matter is mysterious, maybe even a bit obscure (a detailed look at the life of Orthodox and Hasidic Jews), the theme is universal: friendship, father and son relationships, understanding between peoples.
The story centers around two fifteen-year-old boys: Reuven Malter, an Orthodox Jew, and Danny Saunders, an Hasidic Jew. Reuven's father is a well-respected scholar and professor while Danny's father is a rabbi and the head of his community (also known as a tzadick). The Hasidic community is walled off from the rest of the world in their own neighborhood in New York City. Their manners of life, dress and speech date back hundreds of years. The men especially are easily identified by the long, curly locks of hair, black suits, black hats and long beards.
Danny and Reuven meet during an inter league softball game. Danny's team is known for being particularly brutal in competition - this is played out when Reuven, as pitcher, is struck in the head and left eye by a ball batted by Danny, deliberately towards the pitching mound.
Reuven ends up in the hospital and eventually Danny comes to visit him. At first the two do not get along as Reuven harbors anger against him. Reuven's father, however, encourages Reuven to befriend Danny, an unusual request since Hasids and Orthodox rarely mixed. Professor Malter knows of Danny and feels that Reuven needs to befriend him. The reason becomes clearer as the story progresses.
Danny is not aware at first that Professor Malter is Reuven's father. Danny, it turns out, is exceedingly brilliant and constantly hungry for knowledge. He spends all of his free time at the public library and Professor Malter has been counseling him on what to read and discussing it with him. Reuven soon takes over that role and becomes Danny's confidant.
This friendship proves to be a lifeline for Danny who does not enjoy a typical relationship with his own father. Although they love and respect each other deeply, Reb Saunders believes in raising his son "in silence." He only speaks to Danny when they study and discuss the Talmad together (the Talmad is the central core of Judiasm, except for the Torah. Much time is spend in studying and understanding it). Reuven is Danny's confidant, and in some important cases, also the means by which Reb "speaks" to Danny.
The Chosen is set in the 1940s during WWII, beginning when the boys are in high school and ending when they graduate from college. The war and its outcome (especially the release of information about the Holocaust) has a tranforming effect upon all the main characters in the story. In the midst of this, Danny is going through his own transformation, eventually having to make a very difficult and painful decision.
I wept at the end of The Chosen. The writing was so beautiful, the sentiments so timely and poignant. The ending was unexpected and most satisfying.
The book took on a deeper meaning when I read Chaim Potok's biography. He himself was an Hasidic Jew and there are autobiographical elements to the story.
I read the Chosen because I want to learn how to write better. This book had been recommended to me for years by my father who was an avid reader. Potok writes exactly the way I would like to write - succinct with just enough description so that you feel a part of the scene. He tells you just enough, but not all, and the result is the mystery that is added as you wonder about the things he hasn't told you. It made the book a real page-turner.
Character development has always been the most important thing for me and I fell in love with these characters. They were so real to me even if their life experiences were very different from mine. For example, several times in the book, there are intellectual and theological discussions between characters (Danny and his father, Reuven and Danny, Reuven and his college professor, Reuven, Danny and Danny's father) that are as exciting to me as any action-packed movie. I am no towering genius myself but I appreciate it in others and love to watch true intellects do battle. These "battles" in The Chosen are exhilarating and fun.
Potok's use of description and dialog especially are wonderful and I plan to retype sections of the book so I can better absorb his methods.
I can't recommend this book highly enough! It now shares first place with Gone with the Wind (the most fun book I've ever read) and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (most exciting)). The Chosen is the most meaningful. | 372 | null | 173 | [

0694e247e5e9cfc20fc50d177fda6b6c | I enjoyed this book a great deal. Ms. Atkins took the liberty of fleshing out certain characters who before either had no life or were pretty two-dimensional. One of those characters was the tragic son (William) of Charles Lane, the money and one of the minds behind Fruitlands (along with Bronson Alcott). William deserved a life and Atkins gave him one. She also made saintly Anna, Louisa May Alcott's older sister, seem more like a regular young girl, competitive with her sister, even catty at times. Much more fleshed out.
The whole idea of Fruitlands is exceedingly complex and Atkins did a very good job of explaining it in simple and concise terms that anyone could understand.
One episode in the book felt too "current" and frankly, a little too grown-up for children's reading, thus the reason for only 4 stars.
Otherwise, very entertaining and informative book! | 373 | null | 96 | [

0694e247e5e9cfc20fc50d177fda6b6c | Reading the last few words, I slowly closed Mr. Emerson's Wife and felt a welling up inside of emotion. I was so tied to the character of Lidian Jackson Emerson that I felt they were her emotions too.
This is how Amy Belding Brown's book hit me. I lived inside of Mr. Emerson's Wife for the last couple of weeks, crawling inside the head, the skin and the heart of Lidian Jackson Emerson. I loved Mr. Emerson as she loved him, felt the bitter disappointment and anger of promises not kept, and swooned over Henry David Thoreau, sensing the touching of souls as he and Lidian grew closer to each other.
A growing appreciation for words
There are times when I am so grateful I am a slow reader! Although this book could be read very quickly, it shouldn't be. I savored every line, for the first time really appreciating the art of writing and how beautifully words could express thoughts, feelings and actions.
The value of words has been on my mind a lot lately. In my spiritual reading, I read how Jesus Christ is known in the gospel of John as The Word. In a book by Fr. Alexander Schmemann called Great Lent: Journey to Pascha, the Orthodox priest writes about idle talk and how words can be as equally life affirming and devastating, and how we as humans are the only creatures gifted with the ability to make words. It's an awesome gift that carries a solemn responsibility.
Books like Mr. Emerson's Wife fill me with desire to savor more words, and to commit more words to paper (and computer). I am eternally grateful to Meg North who suggested on her blog that aspiring writers should have their trusty notebook and favorite pen with them at all times. I do (in fact I have separate notebooks for different things I'm researching, and each has its own favorite pen). I love composing on the computer but there's something very organic and cool about writing with a pen and getting the smudged ink on my fingers.
But I digress. I'd like to offer some final thoughts on Lidian Jackson Emerson and her relationships with Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau as imagined by Amy Belding Brown (with a lot of historical facts to back up her theories).
Among my top favorite books
Mr. Emerson's Wife is the most emotionally engaging book I've ever read and ranks right up there with my other top 3: Gone With the Wind, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Little Women. Gone With the Wind was a sweeping epic with fascinating characters and a take on the South by a true southerner which challenged some of my perceptions about the pre and post Civil War South. It was the most fun I'd ever had reading. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was the right book at the right time as my children were the same age as Harry, Hermione and Ron (and my Stephen is like Harry). That synchronicity will unfortunately never happen again. And I reveled in the domestic spirituality, sisterhood and semi-autobiographical nature of Little Women.
An honest commentary on marriage
Mr. Emerson's Wife moved me so because Brown made Lidian, Waldo and Henry leap off the pages straight into my mind and heart. They truly were flesh and blood people to me, navigating the complexities of marriage, friendship, life, death and love in Victorian New England. Brown wrote an honest and balanced commentary on marriage which not only applied then, but applies today. Despite the fact that I've enjoyed an unusually happy marriage for the last 32 years, I could still keenly identify with some of the trials that Lidian went through with Mr. Emerson (as she called him). The world still revolves around the man on occasion in this 'enlightened' age. Yet, because of this book, I felt compelled to remark to my husband how truly lucky I was to have him as my lifelong companion; I came to appreciate our marriage even more.
Awakened feminism
This book awoke in me a renewed care and concern for women and their place in the world. The political nature of feminism today long ago turned me off to women's issues (particularly the obsession with Pro Life/Pro Choice - I am Pro Life). When I was a young mother, I felt left behind by feminists, feeling undervalued as a mother and wife. While reading Mr. Emerson's Wife, I sensed that my eyes were opening, seeing things around me (even in my own family) that told me the battle for women's rights (particularly in the area of health) is far from over. I feel a much stronger obligation to guide my 22 year old daughter in the right direction, making sure that she is tending to her education and her development. Fortunately she already has a strong sense of herself and does not base her entire existence upon having a man in her life (even though she is in a serious relationship with a wonderful young man).
Lidian's struggles
Lidian struggled with a brilliant and revered husband who was often cold and indifferent (and yet entertained the vivacious Margaret Fuller on regular occasions, inviting her to live in their home, and taking long walks at night with her, both lost in discussion). She competed with the memory of a young, beautiful and saintly first wife whom Emerson spoke of frequently in a voice filled with grief and loss. Her own excellent mind and creative energies were subjugated to her husband's whims and demands with little regard to her needs. Suffering much injustice, her frustration at times was very high (especially when she had to hold her tongue) and I felt that frustration keenly. A successful marriage, of course, does take two and Brown subsequently, does not place all the blame on Emerson as Lidian could wield a sharp tongue and could be demanding and unforgiving in her own way. She also made the mistake of being lost in her children at the expense of her husband. Marriage is, if anything, a delicate balance.
Lidian and Waldo experienced several devastating losses in their married life, beginning with the death of Waldo's younger brother Charles, Henry's brother John, and culminating with the loss of their first-born son Waldo at the tender age of 5. Grief can sometimes bring couples together but in this case, it drove them apart. Emerson's reaction to grief was to shut down and shut out the world, losing himself in intellectual and philosophical pursuits, while Lidian needed to express her feelings. This along with other things caused her to turn to Henry David Thoreau for consolation and friendship.
Thoreau came across as a much warmer man than I had imagined even though he was also equally brilliant, complex and contradictory. I had always thought of him as so solitary that he never formed really close relationships but he obviously did. And rather than give away too much of the story, I leave you to find out for yourself by reading this wonderful book.
Ready to read more
I am not ready yet to leave the world of Emerson, Thoreau and Fuller and plan on reading more about each of them. I am intrigued by Emerson's motivations for abandoning traditional Christianity and the ministry in favor of developing his own way (which did not necessarily lead to God). And I'm getting more and more interested in Thoreau and what makes him tick. I am grateful to any book that deepens my desire to learn.
Finally, as I continue to read Louisa May Alcott's Moods, I am struck by the irony of how that book is also about one woman loving two men (men based on Emerson and Thoreau). Unfortunately Moods now rings a little hollow as the characters are not so deeply developed and the writing is strained and over-thought. I will still finish Moods but I don't expect it to affect me in the same way. I only wish Louisa had discovered her realistic writing style when she wrote this story.
Be sure and visit Amy Belding Brown's website - she details how she wrote the book and shares stories about the many influential (and unsung) heroines of Transcendental Concord. | 374 | null | 211 | [

0694e247e5e9cfc20fc50d177fda6b6c | Sigh. Another good friend to bid adieu to. That's how I felt when I finished The Little Women Letters by Gabrielle Donnelly. I became very attached to the London-based Atwater sisters (Emma, Lulu and Sophie) and their family and friends and appreciated the guiding hand of "Grandma Jo," aka Jo March from Louisa May Alcott's Little Women.
"New letters" by Jo March
That's right. In this story, Meg, Jo, Beth, Amy and Marmee are true characters and ancestors of the Atwaters. Lulu accidentally comes upon letters in her parents' attic by a young Jo as depicted in Little Women, and finds solace, guidance, understanding and camaraderie from her great-great grandmother when she needs it most.
Donnelly obviously loved Little Women and was fully immersed in it as demonstrated by the authentic air of these letters by Jo. It felt like Louisa had written a secret extra set of chapters for Little Women which made these letters seem extra delicious.
Among the most touching were the letters written to "Bethie" after she had died. It struck me as a most logical way for Jo to work through her grief by writing her dear sister letters as if she were here to read them.
Donnelly uses the letters to set up different scenarios in the plot which covers a turning point year in the life of the three sisters.
The Atwater sisters versus the March sisters
Obviously the sisters are fashioned after the little women:
* Emma is the practically-minded, domestic efficient Meg, who like Meg, has a weakness for the finer things. She is getting married to Matthew.
* Sophie is the spoiled, blond, curly-haired "drama queen" (she is in fact, an actress) modeled after Amy. Her year is, not surprisingly, full of drama both fun and deadly serious.
* Lulu is the awkward, too-tall, very intellectually gifted one fashioned after Jo, and finds solace in Jo's letters. Although she graduated from university with a first class degree in biochemistry, she had no desire to become a scientist and is groping in the dark, trying to find her career path.
Donnelly decided not to have a "Beth" sister which was probably a smart move. It would have been difficult to conjure up a contemporary Beth that would have been believable.
Alike but not exact
Yet, the sisters are not carbon copies. Emma seems less matronly than Meg and keeps some interesting company.
Sophie's art is in acting, not drawing, and she hasn't yet quite evolved to the gracious womanhood that Amy attained. But she does show signs of it.
And Lulu has no clue what she wants to do with her life although she is obviously gifted. And no, she is not a writer.
Meeting more characters
Fee and David Atwater, the parents, are an interesting match. Fee is more like Abba Alcott than Marmee, a fierce feminist who lived in a collective as a young woman. Now a family therapist, she originally came from Boston and is the family connection to Jo.
David is a man with the famous British dry wit who swept Fee away from Boston to London for a new life. His long-running joke is to compare her to imaginary wife "Claire," a woman who questions nothing, asks for nothing, and dotes constantly on David. His work takes him to places all around the world.
There are many entertaining sub-characters, but I will leave it to you to read the book and meet them. Emma's friend Nigel Manolete, an aspiring shoe designer, is my favorite.
The strength of The Little Women Letters
Author Gabrielle Donnelly
Besides the authenticity of the letters from Jo, my favorite parts of the book were the conversations. This is the first book I've ever read where the conversations were so engaging that I didn't miss the narrative. Dialog is always my least favorite part of any book because they rarely seem to move the story along. No so in this case.
Donnelly has a terrific "gift of gab." Even though she had many brothers and no sisters, the dialog between the Atwater sisters is very real. Lots of teasing, barbs and wit so typical between siblings pepper the conversations. The humor in this story is well placed and very entertaining.
Perfect summer read . . . any movie plans?
The Little Women Letters is the perfect summer read. As mentioned in a previous post, it's the one book I've read at the gym that made me forget about the pain and sweating of doing the elliptical. I will sure miss this friend!
I hope plans are in the works for a movie. It would be perfect for the Lifetime channel.
Check out Gabrielle Donnelly's website and read the interview - it's very informative.

0694e247e5e9cfc20fc50d177fda6b6c | This book is very deceiving. It looks like an easy read and it is (nice short chapters). I actually tried reading it once before and it didn't sink in. This time I was doing research for a half day retreat that I was presenting at, so I started the book again and outlined each chapter. Wow, that was the key that unlocked the hidden treasures of this book! I lived with this book for several months, going through it slowly and it has really changed my life. The whole idea of surrendering my life to God like the Virgin Mary did is very much a part of my life now and has really changed the way I think.
There was one other book that was a deceptively easy read full of treasures and that was The 7 Secrets of the Eucharist by Vinny Flynn. Another 5 star read! | 376 | null | 174 | [

I was needing a quick and easy to read contemporary, because I felt myself get into a reeding slump.I picked the one that sounded the most ridiculous.
I don't know if it was because I had such low expectations or if the book is simply good, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. There's amazing character development, not only of the main character but from side characters as well. Secondary characters (most of them at least) had distinct personalities, they were fun and three dimensional.
Of course, the book was filled with common tropes and cliches here and there, I rolled my eyes a few times, and the plot isn't the most original thing. But if you're looking for an easy, fun contemporary, look no further, this book is perfect for that. | 377 | [

0696a19917a0e8e2f2ea1c2df815b644 | This is the best autobiography I've read in a while. She is brutally honest about her mental and physically health, about her progress. She portrays herself in a way that you can see she's broken, even messed up at times, but you don't feel pity, but all you want to do is root for her because she's just simply amazing. Such an inspiring, FUNNY and beautiful woman. | 378 | [

0696a19917a0e8e2f2ea1c2df815b644 | I've grown to love this book so much... Sara is definitely one of my new favorite female characters. She sets such a good example, not only for little girls but people in general. Positivity and strength are very important themes in this book, and I think these should be reinforced in books more often. I'll be reading this to my kids, and rereading it myself many times for the years to come.
I recommend this book to anybody that is going through a tough time, and maybe Princess Sara can bring a little light into their lives. Always keep your chin up, and feel sorry for those who are angry at the world. | 379 | [

0696a19917a0e8e2f2ea1c2df815b644 | I think I'm being generous with the rating... I hate the fact that I couldn't love this book... I'm usually good at reading "controversial" books and enjoying them, while acknowledging the problematic parts, I'm usually able to overlook them and enjoy the story for what it is but I just couldn't bring myself to do that with this one. Thinking about the "representation" of illness in this book makes my blood boil, and oh that ending...................its basically everything I stand against put together in a book with a pretty cover. | 380 | null | 121 | [

0696a19917a0e8e2f2ea1c2df815b644 | William Herondale, my heart will always and for ever belong to you. [?]
This book took a little bit of my soul and destroyed it. In a good way. The characters are so wonderfully written, complex and flawed but yet so unbelievably amazing. UGH and the development they ALL had was incredible.
The scenes, oh the scenes. I've never read anything like them before. Everything happened at once but they were so well written there is no way you could be confused.
And finally the plot. There is, in my opinion, a perfect balance between action and romance in this book. And it is equally distributed between main and side characters which is awesome. No side of the story falls flat or irrelevant. Every bit of information revealed makes perfect sense, and it is still surprising.
The only thing that threw me off a little was the love triangle. I'm sort of, kind of, definitely tired of those. But this one was not like the others. You can feel Tessa's pain and she never becomes annoying or clingy, thanks to the Angel.
Over all, this book was incredible. And I am sort of, kind of, definitely terrified to read Clockwork Princess.
Once again, William, my heart belongs to you for as long as I live. | 381 | null | 232 | [

There was a point where I literally threw the book to the other side of my room. AMERICA HOW FRUSTRATING CAN YOU GET?!
I think the selection could've been solved at the end of The Elite & this book could focused on the world building. Sadly that didn't happen...
Anyways, all those deaths at the end were pretty rushed and some unnecessary (like the Queen's). Overall, it is still pretty addictive & Maxon is still a cutie. | 382 | [

This, as expected, was impossible to put down!! I'll have to admit that although I was presently surprised with America on the last book, in this one many times she comes across as whiny and needy. Other that that, I really enjoyed it. Maxon is a sweety, and I'm so happy we got a lot more world building on this one.

I'm so sad because I think I can safely say now that Morgan Matson's books aren't for me. I really wanted to love this, but unfortunately I couldn't. I found so many cringe-worthy and cliche lines, I rolled my eyes several times. The plot wasn't very exciting, and the romance was very flat.
Some positive aspects that I'd like to point out are that Roger is a sweetheart, and I wish his character was developed a bit more in the story. Also, I went to some of the places the book mentions and the descriptions were excellent, the way the author describes the mountains of Utah, and Colorado are fabulous.
Over all, I don't think this is a bad book, I just think it's more of the same | 384 | [

0696a19917a0e8e2f2ea1c2df815b644 | Well, it broke my heart. I knew Sam died, but still, reading how everything happened just broke me. I gained so much respect for Caelena, and much more love, if that's possible. I just... UGH.
It did make me change my perspective on a lot of things concerning the series now, and I'm dyeing to put my hands on Empire of Storms.
It was a little slow at some points and emotionally charged so I had to take my time while reading it, but over all, beautiful & painful. | 385 | null | 252 | [

0696a19917a0e8e2f2ea1c2df815b644 | This book was so, terribly scary. At first, it reads as if the writer is listing facts, and things that happen, but then, the story gets so intense and disgusting at times that you think the author is making it all up. The fact that is a non-fiction book it blows my mind. The fact that all the horrible things did happen in this world, that those people Wiesel mentions were real people, with real feelings it's simply terrifying.
Works like this are necessary, to remind the up-coming generations that nothing good comes with war and hate. | 386 | [

0696a19917a0e8e2f2ea1c2df815b644 | This book took me places. Made me feel things, made notice things that I wasn't aware of before. This book showed me love, it showed me pain and panic. This book it's not only beautifully written but the story that it holds is extremely important. This book will break your heart over and over, just to glue it back together later. This book will teach you that the last thing you loose, is hope.
A masterpiece. | 387 | [

0696a19917a0e8e2f2ea1c2df815b644 | It has become my favorite. Every single time that I read it, I take something new from it.
It is incredible how relatable it is for now days and shows us how necessary and urgent is to take seriously the problems in our world/ society.
This book as Neil Gaiman says, is a love letters to other books.
Is a love letter to life. It's a call to change. It's the door to a better future. | 388 | null | 89 | [

06e4695b44ac4268d720afef7817f3f0 | Belcher's book is a wonderful reference that can be used for anyone looking to publish for the first time in the social sciences, humanities, and education. However, the resources provided in the text such as the weekly writing schedules and the tips for macro and micro editing are relevant and useful even to those authors publishing for the tenth time. With the help of Belcher, writing and editing has become a habit where only a few hours a week blossom into completed texts ready to be sent out for peer review in 12 weeks. Her unapologetic lists of "if this, then cut that" force writers to take a much harder look at their work to avoid unnecessary (though often present) side trips in their writing as well as making sure that default phrases such as "however", "showcased", and "demonstrated" do not appear 50 times...per page. She instills those long forgotten grammar rules about the actual use of the semicolon, the splitting of infinitives, and reminds authors that their they're often don't belong there. Belcher's book goes beyond just the writing, and editing and takes you into the world of peer review, rejection letters, revise and resubmits, into journal backlogs, query letters, and the sigh of relief to finally be "in press". I'm giving this text 5 stars because Belcher made publication in 12 weeks possible and this book will undoubtedly leave my shelf whenever I have a manuscript that I think is ready to become a published piece. | 389 | [

06e4695b44ac4268d720afef7817f3f0 | Justin de Quincy hastens to Paris at the request of his former lover (and mother of his child) only to discover that Prince John had put her up to it. The prince has been implicated in a plot to kill his brother, King Richard, and wants Justin to prove the incriminating document false.
Justin vows that he only serves the queen, Eleanor of Aquitaine, but that in this case her son John's suspected treachery may also risk the welfare of the the queen. Old enemies become allies as Justin stumbles upon a murder most foul, and a conspiracy involving both layman and royalty. | 390 | [

06e4695b44ac4268d720afef7817f3f0 | The games change everything. All Katniss wanted was to go home, but after returning she found that her concept of home, friends, and normal had died along with her fellow competitors. Every twenty five years an extra twist is added to the Hunger Games, and this the 75th year promoted the idea that even the strongest cannot beat the Capitol. All tributes were to be reaped from past victors, and District 12 has only three: two boys and one girl. Katniss is forced to return to the arena once more. | 391 | [

06e4695b44ac4268d720afef7817f3f0 | In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, divided out into twelve districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by reminding them all that they have no power against the Capitol. Once a year, each district is forced to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the Hunger Games, a fight to the death while the entire world watches. Twenty four go in, only one comes out. May the odds be ever in your favor. | 392 | [

06e4695b44ac4268d720afef7817f3f0 | King Richard the Lionheart lies in a German prison and is held for ransom. Queen Eleanor tries to buy his freedom, while his younger brother, Prince John attempts to ensure his brother's captivity permanently. When the ransom payment vanishes, Eleanor hastily dispatches her man, Justin de Quincy to investigate. In Wales, Justin is tested in every way as an arrogant border earl, a cocky Welsh prince, an enchanting lady, and a traitor welcome him with false smiles and deadly conspiracies. The queen's treasure is nowhere to be found, but assassins are everywhere, and blood runs red in the dragon's lair. | 393 | [

06e4695b44ac4268d720afef7817f3f0 | Richard the Lionheart is missing, John is planning to usurp the English crown, and Eleanor of Aquitaine is running out of people to trust. Justin de Quincy comes across a bloodstained letter destined for the queen, which will lead him on a hunt to track down a murderer.
Penman is undoubtedly one of my favourite authors of all time, however, I felt that The Queen's Man fell short of her normal literary brilliance. I suppose part of it has to do with the sheer length of the novel (or rather, the lack thereof). Penman's novels are normally on the order of 800-1000 pages, and this book is a mere 270. Penman's first stab at writing a "short" novel isn't bad, but I think her longer works are far more intriguing because they don't feel rushed and bland, as this story was. | 394 | [

06e4695b44ac4268d720afef7817f3f0 | "For doctors, care at the end of life is, as this book's title implies, our final exam."
Dr. Pauline Chen composed a series of nine reflections from her experiences in medical school, internship, and residency. Through these stories and reflections, Dr. Chen comments and criticizes how she as a doctor was taught to deal with death of a patient, how to interact with the patient's family, but most importantly, what to do when you know your patient is going to die in a day/week/month and there is simply nothing else that can be done.
Unless your latin and knowledge of the anatomy of the human body is up to par with that of medical students, be prepared to look up about ten words a page. I found this book to be very heartfelt, in that it tears at your heart in every way, and I can only imagine the difficulty in writing these reflections. To anyone going into nursing, medicine, hospice care, or any profession dealing with the sick and the dying, this a must read book. To all others, this book will give you a little more insight to the doctors that treat you, just be prepared, it's not all good. | 395 | [

06e4695b44ac4268d720afef7817f3f0 | Teddy Daniels is a US Marshall send to Shutter Island, a psychiatric hospital for the most dangerous criminally insane patients in the country, and one of them has escaped. During the oncoming hurricane, Teddy and his partner Chuck begin investigating when they notice that events are not quite adding up, that certain details seem too rehearsed, and old memories of the war and Teddy's dead wife once again haunt him.
I don't particularly read mysteries or psychological thrillers, but I did enjoy this book. However, I found it to be very confusing at times keeping track of what was real, a dream, or a hallucination. There was also an obsession with the war, which admittedly does play a part in the story line, but not so big of one that justified nearly 1/4 of the book being devoted to flashbacks of the war, stories about the war, or some reference to the war. I almost felt that this book was torn between being a war book and being a psychological thriller. In addition, I felt a little cheated at the end, not to say the ending was predicable, but that it didn't work as well as it could have. | 396 | [

06e4695b44ac4268d720afef7817f3f0 | There are three things all wise men fear. Kvothe continues to tell the story of his life to Bast and Chronicler. However, while the Name of Wind was primarily the story of a young boy, Wise Man's Fear is most definitely the story of a young man. Kvothe's studies at the university seem to be almost at a standstill and Kvothe is forced to take a leave of absence from The University. He decides to travel to the east where language, custom, magic, stories, and songs all hold new meanings.
I give this book 4 stars instead of 5 because half the book lived up to every expectation I had. However, Kvothe's travels away from the university comprise the other half. The characters he meets there I find uninteresting or flat out pointless, and while the events that took place do hold a great deal of importance to his life and reputation, I felt that they could just as easily have been told in 200 pages rather than 500. All in all, this book is still amazing, I would still recommend it to anyone, and in four years when the third book comes out, I will undoubtedly be reading this again. | 397 | [

06e4695b44ac4268d720afef7817f3f0 | The main character, Fanny Price, is a young girl from a relatively poor family, and is sent to live with her rich uncle and aunt, Sir Thomas and Lady Bertram, at Mansfield Park. She grows up with her four cousins, Tom Bertram, Edmund Bertram, Maria Bertram and Julia, but is always treated as inferior to them; only Edmund shows her kindness. Maria and Julia are vain and spoiled. Over time, Fanny's gratitude for Edmund's kindness secretly grows into romantic love, however, as is the main theme of this book, money influences marriage, not love. | 398 | [

06e4695b44ac4268d720afef7817f3f0 | With money and good looks, the world is yours, but what happens when the ugliness in your soul takes over your physical appearance? Kyle had everything, Adrian had nothing, one was a prince, the other was positivity....beastly.
Obviously, if I read the book in one sitting and stayed up until 2am reading it, it was a very good book. However, I cannot give it 5 stars due to my "differences in style" from Flinn. I disagree with several elements of this book, which I don't wish to discuss here as it would spoil certain key parts. | 399 | [
