As soon as I started "The River King" I was smiling at having found something distinctive and wonderful. I luxuriated in surrendering myself into the hands of a dryly witty, joyfully articulate and completely omniscient narrator who curated my journey through the lives of a small group of people a...
Irreverent, insightful, funny, deeply humane and empathetic. The myth of Odysseus is one of my favorite parts of Greek mythology: in telling it from the perspective of Penelope -- with a good bit about Penelope's childhood and youth, and her and Odysseus's marriage thrown in for good measure, as w...
It's amazing how hearing the same story from a different perspective makes you see it all a little differently. While there are some bits that I'm not familiar with from American history classes throughout the years, most of the information isn't entirely new. This book just does something with the ...
This was my first book in the Godmothers series. I'm not much of a romance reader, so I don't think I have read Fern Michael's books. Of course, I could be wrong.However, this one was not a romance book. It was mostly about a haunted?? house and a group of older women holding seances. It was a short...
Ann Rule’s 7th crime files book is a little heavy on the hyperbole, but there’s an important theme running through these true crime stories that women should pay attention to. There is a pattern of behavior we should be wary of in our intimate relationships. It may be subtle at first, then escalate ...
This is one of my favorite books and it was so great to revisit it in audio format. She’s an average person, a baker, who finds herself in the middle of vampire turf war. Messy. Yeah, that really sums up a lot of it. But there is a lot more going on in this world that McKinley created. The SOF suits...
Audiobook version from Audible. Another solid true crime from Ann Rule,spoiled slightly by the audiobook performance. The reader only showed signs of life when reading dialogue, but the rest of the time sounded like an automaton.
First time reading Robin McKinley. I have heard good things about her, but she struck me as a bit of a fanta-twee author. Anyway, Sunshine was on sale at Audible, and I like a good vampire story, so decided to check it out.First, if I'd known about the romantic undercurrents, I'd have run screaming....
This book was absolutely not what I was expecting it to be. Truthfully I didn't think I'd like it. I think after this and the Fever series I've learned my lesson. I'm not sure why I've avoided faerie stories but I think my mind has been changed for me. There's a lot going on in this book but it's no...
