![]() ![]() These two already have enough hurdles in their path to happiness it didn’t need to devolve into such a hot mess. I’m not sure that anyone questions the quality of her writing – the first half of this book is one of the best things I’ve read this year – but the tonal shift is jarring and, frankly, unnecessary. If you’ve read Jimenez’s debut, The Friend Zone (not required reading for this but helpful), you already know how divisive her writing can be. ![]() It’s a love story in two parts – one of which I never wanted to end, and the other I just wanted to be done with. Disappointment, because the second half takes that fragile relationship and smashes it to pieces. Love, because the first half is pure magic, light and gooey rom com goodness that will warm your heart. I say that with both love and disappointment. Not sure how I restrained myself from throwing my Kindle against the wall, because this book is gut-wrenchingly FRUSTRATING. ![]() ![]() He brings the news that Sutter, the white man who owned that land and their ancestors, has died.

Brief Summary of Book: Shattered Warrior by Sharon Shinn ![]() ![]() ![]() What did you like best about Blood Royal? What did you like least? It is not but René is an American with notions of French so many pronunciations of names and place names are pretty good so B+! René Auberjonois, of Deep Space Nine fame, with that French sounding name gives you momentary hope, that it will be perfection. For me the story matters more than the reader but for this French medieval detective story a person with command of French is appreciated. This story is made for the big screen, certainly an epic tale worthy of your time. At one time a woman brings in a grievously wounded man and rather than tending to the man's wounds, she rushes out to find a priest so his immortal soul can be saved. The story is fascinating, wonderfully alien in people's daily dealings of the occult and the holy. In this History the victim AND the villains are fantastically callous and despicable individuals, only their remoteness in time makes them safe for reading. An epic tale and a B+ for René AuberjonoisĪ good police thriller is made by the quality of the the villain. ![]() ![]() ![]() Discover timeless favourites from The Jungle Book and Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland to modern classics such as The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. ![]() Pollyanna’s philosophy of life centers around what she calls The Glad Game: she always tries to find something to be glad about in every situation, and to always do.

Now I hope to break through into the rough rocky depths, to the matrix itself. “ Plant Dreaming Deep has brought me many friends,” says May Sarton early in Journal of a Solitude, “…but I have begun to realize that, without my intention, that book gives a false view.” She worried that she had given an overly idealistic picture of her life alone in her restored New Hampshire farmhouse, which she describes in Plant Dreaming Deep with such joyous lyricism: “the anguish of my life here - its rages - is hardly mentioned.” She wrote Journal of a Solitude as a counterweight: ![]() ![]() ![]() He died at the age of thirty-two, and in his lifetime he never had a pop hit.
