The Handfasted Wife (The Daughters of Hastings)
The Handfasted Wife (The Daughters of Hastings)

Review:Not much is really known about Edith Swan Neck so the author had a lot of options to develop the story. But of all the paths she could've taken, I think she chose the most unimaginative and dull one. I gave it a fair shot and read about 3/4 before I couldn't take any more. Read more

Hector and the Search for Happiness
Hector and the Search for Happiness

Review:I found the writing in this book insufferable. I found it was too hard to believe that someone with such a childlike view of the world could both succeed in medical school and help people through complex psychological issues. In the end the book seemed to indicate that it was hector's ability I listen that made him a good psychologist. While listening I your patients is an essential component to treatment, treating psychological issues goes much deeper than that, thus all of the schooling. Addi... Read more

A God in Ruins: A Novel
A God in Ruins: A Novel

Review:Teddy, when you first meet him, is the most adorable and scrumptious little boy. So sweet, so in love with nature. Then World War II comes and he becomes a pilot, and a Wing Commander. His parents, his sisters, his child, his wife and hiss children's children all play a large part in the plot, and time keeps skipping back and forth as the viewpoint also shifts from one character to another. Interesting ending is the best part of the book. Read more

Lords of the North: A Novel (Saxon Tales Book 3)

Review:This is a good series. The life of Uhtred continues to be compelling reading. He has much to put up with but manages to come through stronger than ever. He's a strong character and you can't help but like him even if you don't agree with his actions. Read more

A Novel of Arthur (The Warlord Chronicles) - The Winter King
A Novel of Arthur (The Warlord Chronicles) - The Winter King

Review:Bernard Cornwell is probably the best story teller, particularly of the British Isles, that I've read. His historical fiction is wonderful and written in a way the reader doesn't want to put it down. I purchased the whole Arthur series to make sure I could follow Arthur's journey. Read more

How It All Began: A Novel
How It All Began: A Novel

Review:My first Peneope Lively but eager to read more. The author treats each character with such a gentle unconditional love, that even when I wanted to be annoyed with them, I gave them a break because of who she had shown me they were. The story, I thought, was masterful and creative; full of beautiful well thought out words. Loved the end which is not an end at all. I am not an reviewer per se, as one can tell, won't go ito plot except to say it was clever and very believable. Read more

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Cronos Classics)
The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Cronos Classics)

Review:This is a beautiful Complete Works. There are a few out there, but this is actually COMPLETE as well as beautiful and good quality. It's like a bible, honestly. I carried it around for 16 weeks for my Shakespeare class. It's heavy, but very nice. It also has a golden ribbon to keep your place, which is handy. The text is rather small and like that of a bible, but I'm not bothered by that. I really enjoy this. Read more

Captive Bride
Captive Bride

Review:Its about a Christina who's been kidnapped by Phillip who wants to take her as his mistress in a deserted foreign land. The half way through the book was guided by lust (at least in my opinion) then when christina was pregnant was my only happiness untill she gave birth, and then philip finds out. From that then is good until the story ends.

The Captive bride is no that bad but no that good either so i recommend you give it a try. Read more

Love Me Forever (Sherring Cross Book 2)

Review:These books about the Malory family are always a very good read, full of romance, drama, lighthearted fun, really good insight how the upper class lives and their fashions. Always some dark moments but that only adds to the romance of it all in the end. Recommend this book. Read more
