I can’t say how accurate this book is involving particular historical details, but it surely is a fun read and a great setting for the story.I thought that the characters were really fleshed out in this one. Yes, it was technically a rebellion, but I still don't think it should have been in the title. She questioned the system that was in place and decided she had to make her own choices, but I wouldn't consider her rebellious with the bad connotations of that word.This book is set just before the American Revolution, which I find to be a fascinating time in history. That makes her sound like a bratty teenager. It sounds like the heroine has a rebellious heart, which is NOT an attractive quality. Review 2: Okay, I'm going to start out with a gripe to get it out of the way - the title was REALLY stupid. I may read some of her others in the future if I need fillers. Her style is completely unimaginative, though, and I began to feel like I was reading the same story over and over, just with different names. It was my favorite of the three that I read. This one was based on John and Abigail Adams (as in the 2nd president of the US). I didn't know this before I read a few, but they are based on true historical characters. They are inspiration/Christian historical romances, I guess. Review 1: I picked up a few of her books for fillers.

Perfectly Scripted is the dramatic conclusion to Ronan and Holliday’s steamy love story that began in unScripted. That same explosive combination perfectly conspired to tear us apart. But, when reminders from the past come flooding back, new secrets are revealed, shattering the trust we worked so hard to achieve. We were done overcoming jealous exes and lingering scars. Back in the real world, Ronan and I had settled into our new life together as a couple. There was no turning back, and I was left with only one realization – that he was the one for me. We’d spent a week secluded inside the four walls of the posh York Hotel Penthouse sharing our deepest secrets and engaging in our most primal desires. And even though it could have been my emotional undoing, there was nothing I could do to stop the whirlwind of excitement and thrilling days that followed. "With each passing day I was falling deeper into his world." I’d never believed in fate until the moment I kissed Ronan Connolly. 5/28/2023 0 Comments Hop on pop wordsFor instance, the last page is "SAY SAY What does this say?" and then there's a box which has the words in it: "seehemewe", "patpuppop", "hethreetreebee", and "tophopstop". It feels like it wasn't edited very well. But mostly it's nonsensical without being interesting. The back of the book says, "A collection of hilarious nonsense which makes sense in its ability to teach children to read and understand the use of words and phrases." I guess it's helpful to beginning readers that the main words are in capital letters before they're used in mixed-case sentences. But it's still rather boring and not very useful. Brown in it, from before he got his own book ("Mr. HIM JIM Jim is after him." Below those words, there's an illustration of a man being bitten in the toe by something that looks sort of like a lion, and then the lion is being bitten in the tail by a little boy ("Jim") who looks very angry. Some of it's goofy and the illustrations make it a bit more interesting than the average word book, like the one for "HE ME He is after me. In some places, it focuses on opposites and prepositions and things like that. It's kind of on the same lines as "I'll Teach My Dog 100 Words" except Seuss's word list rhymes, which is about the only way you can get through one of these without falling asleep. This is basically one of those word list books. 5/28/2023 0 Comments FICCIONES by Samuel BennettDonoghue ( Room and Frog Music) and I must say – this is the story and its storytelling I have liked the best. Highlighting the true heroic nature of the work that nurses do! Not surprising – this book has been nominated for numerous awards ☺. This might have been a strange book to read at this time (currently amidst the COVID-19 pandemic) but given The Pull of the Stars point of view – I found it timely as well as gripping and entertaining. While I am fairly new to the historical fiction genre I am really beginning to enjoy it. The Pull of the Stars is another engaging book by Emma Donoghue. In The Pull of the Stars, Emma Donoghue once again finds the light in the darkness in this new classic of hope and survival against all odds. With tireless tenderness and humanity, carers and mothers alike somehow do their impossible work. They lose patients to this baffling pandemic, but they also shepherd new life into a fearful world. In the darkness and intensity of this tiny ward, over three days, these women change each other’s lives in unexpected ways. Into Julia’s regimented world step two outsiders-Doctor Kathleen Lynn, a rumoured Rebel on the run from the police, and a young volunteer helper, Bridie Sweeney. In an Ireland doubly ravaged by war and disease, Nurse Julia Power works at an understaffed hospital in the city center, where expectant mothers who have come down with the terrible new Flu are quarantined together. 5/28/2023 0 Comments Occultation and other storiesOut of all of the strange events chronicled in Occultation, the unifying element is an unnatural world hidden just beyond our grasp. If there’s one thing to be gleaned from Occultation, Laird Barron’s second collection of horror shorts, it’s that the deep forest of the Pacific Northwest is one seriously disturbing place. Pros: The thematic balance of the natural and the unnatural works to create an atmosphere perfect for horror Barron's style is very visual, creating images that will stick in your mind long after you finish reading Barron's prose is dense but poetic and rewards multiple readings Ĭons: Writing is not for anyone looking for a light read Lovecraftian horror can often be purposefully hard to digest at times, especially the conclusions Character focus on realism sometimes creates unlikeable protagonists. In A Few Words: The Stephen King of the Pacific Northwest, Laird Barron channels his past to produce a second collection full of literary horror that is as unfathomable as it is unforgettable. 5/28/2023 0 Comments All I See by Nell IrisBurial will follow at County Line Cemetery.
