Literature & Fiction
Review:I throughly enjoyed this book although it was a little hard at times to fully understand the language and speech patterns of the times. I sometimes found myself rereading a paragraph a couple of times to understand what the author was trying to convey. The movie doesn't begin to do the book justice. Read more
Review:I bought this book for an Engligh Literature class, it is very bulky, but contains so much there is no other way they could cram so much into anything any smaller! This book remains on my desk, and always will. Read more
Review:The selection is great. I love the introductions before each time period- it really helps understand the history and culture of the time. Each author has a bio, which is nice. It's nicely laid out, easy to read, and very compact. Since I love literature, this series is a great value and something I enjoy reading outside of class. Read more
Review:Fantasy of Fire – DO NOT Interrupt Me I’m Reading
St Clare tells a fantastical tale, “Against All Odds” the battle of good against evil…if it doesn’t break you, it will make you stronger. I was shown two+ worlds and the struggle for control, combined with this, the characters and the conflicts they faced made for emotional, interesting and exciting reading. I actually LOL on occasion. This book has it all sci-fi, fantasy, romance, mystery, drama, humour and action.
I thoroughly enjoyed ... Read more
Review:From the very beginning, the length of this novel was intimidating. At times, particularly in the middle, it felt like 1,000 pages the way I was trudging through those sections. That being said, I did really enjoy the story as a whole. I’m quite picky when it comes to fantasy authors and their ability to create a believable and immersive world. Nova did a great job with setting up the land and its inhabitants. In addition to the creation of a culture for each of the unique groups (fae, witch, hu... Read more
Review:I really liked the first book in this series, but to give you an idea on this book, it took me about 3 months to read (as I kept on picking up other things to read...). It also took about 300 pages to get into this one and finally retain a level of interest worthy of not taking a break to read something else.
Why the change of pace as I read the first book quite speedily? Probably because of the change of focus. The first book dealt a lot with the slightly naive and stubborn Daniel Waterh... Read more
Review:I never realized so much happened between 1650 and 1715: the scientific enlightenment, the confused succession of British monarchs, the reign of Louis 14th, the creation of banks, insurance and much more. Stephenson presented all this in a masterful way. Read more
Review:The story line follows a typical child/family of their everyday life’s ups/downs.
The jacket says it is for MS age children. I’ve been out of the school system for 10 yrs. now.
My 2 granddaughters if/when I get to stay all night I read them 2 bedtime stories (family ritual).
I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review, only an ho... Read more
Review:Okay...Ben and Reese may be my new favorite Marian couple!
The Protectors meet the Marian’s!
Reece, known from the Sloane’s Protectors Series, is charged with following Ben, gaming guru, and long lost brother of Griff, from Lucy’s Made Marian Series.
Throw in Georgia, Ben’s young sister, and Princess Kitty(?) and you have yourself another hit by Lucy and Sloane!
Highly entertaining and emotionally charged, I highly recommend this book! Read more
Review:I loved it, of course! Author, Jennifer L. Armentrout always delivers a fantastic story and this time was no different.
Minor spoilers alert!
Fall with Me’s 5 Greats:
1. The references to other popular romance novels made me feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside. I especially loved every time Roxy mentioned and read the YA paranormal novel, New Moonto her bestie, Charlie.
2. I loved that this was a friends-to-lovers plotline and how Roxy and Reece finally dove in and embr... Read more
