<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">One of my literary goals is to read certain classics, and two titles by Wilkie Collins featured in there. After completing this book, Collins can now be ticked off my list. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Like <i>The Woman in White</i>, <i>The Moonstone</i> is, most definitely, a narrative drive novel, and though this book is good too I enjoyed <i>The
Woman in White </i>more. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I thought Collins’ satire in the guise of the piously, hypocritical
Miss Clack and her manic religious-tract giving was very humorous:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 14.15pt; margin-right: 1.0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<i><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Here was a golden opportunity! I seized
it on the spot. In other words, I instantly opened my bag, and took out the top
publication. It proved to be an early edition—only the twenty-fifth—of the
famous anonymous work (believed to be by precious Miss Bellows), entitled <b>The Serpent at Home</b>. The design of the
book—with which the worldly reader may not be acquainted—is to show how the
Evil One lies in wait for us in all the most apparently innocent actions of our
daily lives. The chapters best adapted to female perusal are “Satan in the Hair
Brush;” “Satan behind the Looking Glass;” “Satan under the Tea Table;” “Satan
out of the Window”—and many others.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 14.15pt; margin-right: 1.0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<i><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“Give your attention, dear aunt, to
this precious book—and you will give me all I ask.” With those words, I handed
it to her open, at a marked passage—one continuous burst of burning eloquence!
Subject: Satan among the Sofa Cushions.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">LOL. What an awful woman, such perfect reading to gift to dying aunt ;)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Betteredge, the butler, much to my delight, constantly refers to
<i>Robinson Crusoe </i>, <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 14.15pt; margin-right: 1.0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<i><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">"I am not superstitious; I have
read a heap of books in my time; I am a scholar in my own way. Though turned
seventy, I possess an active memory, and legs to correspond. You are not to
take it, if you please, as the saying of an ignorant man, when I express my
opinion that such a book as <b>Robinson
Crusoe</b> never was written, and never will be written again. I have tried
that book for years—generally in combination with a pipe of tobacco—and I have
found it my friend in need in all the necessities of this mortal life. When my
spirits are bad—<b>Robinson Crusoe</b>.
When I want advice—<b>Robinson Crusoe</b>.
In past times when my wife plagued me; in present times when I have had a drop
too much—<b>Robinson Crusoe</b>. I have
worn out six stout <b>Robinson Crusoes</b>
with hard work in my service. On my lady’s last birthday she gave me a seventh.
I took a drop too much on the strength of it; and <b>Robinson Crusoe</b> put me right again. Price four shillings and
sixpence, bound in blue, with a picture into the bargain."</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">During the writing of this book, Collin’s seems to be using Ezra
Jennings as the voice to document his own pain driven addiction to opium –
opium taking pops up everywhere –<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 14.15pt; margin-right: 1.0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<i><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Back again, this morning, to
the old routine! Back again, tonight, to the dreadful alternative between the
opium and the pain! </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I liked Ezra and thought his personal ‘ending’ was rather sad.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Adding
here for others that get overcome with the urge to toss this book and read something
faster paced or shorter: About a third
of the way through the book I was wondering if I wanted to keep investing in
this "taking forever" serial styled story - I’d figured out who the thief was, but not
how the young couple got back together again – time to read a quick summary and
see where the story was going. I’m glad
I did, as it gave me the impetus to keep listening to Peter Jeffrey's excellent
narration of this work. </span></span>Chellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13087457076737498284noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039817651719259559.post-67011787694819235082019-07-04T08:00:00.000-07:002020-01-16T13:25:27.723-08:00The Last Year of the War ~ Susan Meissner <div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I really appreciated the honest look at ageing in this book - the struggle with the onset of Alzheimer's, called Agnes the thief - and that Meissner chose to end the book realistically</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">with Meissner creating a way to have the characters reconnect before one of them dies; </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">for me, that added to the story, not detracted from it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Mariko's story became lost and blurred as the story progressed, maybe the author intended that to reflect the loss and disconnect Elise was feeling and going through (?). I wasn't really that interested in Mariko by the end of the book.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The story has more romancy-schmancy than I like in a fiction book - why kissing, and a honeymoon night seems to require an explanatory and descriptive dialogue beats me - perhaps the best way to pigeonhole this would be "clean romance with a sensual undertone". The romance was a bit too pat; and, the marriages, especially the way the author line up the second marriage, just felt a bit off. For me, those things detracted from the story. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Extra: Meissner doesn't shy from having an attempted rape in this story and has dealt with it as non-gratuitously as I think she could have, almost euphemistically.</span>Chellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13087457076737498284noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039817651719259559.post-57909550078856416392019-07-03T13:00:00.000-07:002019-07-02T18:13:16.697-07:00Anxious for Nothing: Finding Calm in a Chaotic ~ Max Lucado<br />

<br />

skipped ahead to chapter four, then switched from audio to ebook at chapter six,</span><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">and ended up rating this book at 4+*</span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The first chapter had some really interesting, sobering, facts in it
that I want to check out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I then skipped
through some of Max’s personal stories and over the ‘plan of salvation’ portion
in part one of the audio and was then away again in chapter four (part 2 on
audio).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ben Holland and I absolutely
had to part ways at chapter six or this book was going to hit the abandoned read
stack.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> His narration of this book is not a good fit for me, t</span>he content was easier to absorb
and appreciate by reading it to myself. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<i><span style="color: black;">Earthly Remains</span></i><span style="color: black;"> was my first foray into Guido
Brunett’s life; and, as I have no other books in the series to compare it with
I enjoyed the environmental focus and a take away thought of “Bees are
the canary in the mine”. The mystery surrounds an oil company’s illegal
dumping of toxic waste. For those that like a
case-completely-solved who-dunnit with all the loose ends tied up, this is
not one of those: still, I found it to be a satisfying end to an interesting
story.</span></div>
<o:p></o:p>
<br />
<span style="color: black;">I really appreciate it that the Brunetti
family is a loving and functional one and will be trying another of Leon's
books at some stage.<o:p></o:p></span>
<o:p></o:p>
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black;">Extra: One slant the author tossed
into the book was having Brunetti ‘knowing’ that prayer is useless; <i>“Dear
Jesus, keep my children from harm.” He knew it was the worst form of
superstition, he knew there was no sense to it and no chance that it could
help” </i><snip><i> he knew that prayer was
useless. </i>And then Leon added a few good digs at the
Catholic Church so I went hunting to get a sense of why she would do that: and
found <a href="http://archive.boston.com/ae/books/articles/2008/06/01/politics_faith_and_the_occasional_corpse/" target="_blank">this interview</a> with Anna Mundow,
which I think answers my wondering pretty succinctly. </span><span style="color: black;">(Refer to Donna Leon’s answer to question

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> <i>They call her the Queen of the Outcasts. Maviah, a woman whose fate was sealed on her birth by this world - unwanted, illegitimate, female, a slave - subject to the whims of all. But then she met a man named Yeshua who opened her eyes. She found strength in his words, peace from the brutal world around her. Because of what he taught her, she has gathered her own travelling kingdom of outcasts deep in the desert, wielding an authority few have seen. But when her growing power threatens the rulers around her, they set out to crush all she loves, leaving her reeling as a slave once more. She must find Yeshua to save her people, but when she does, she will be horrified to discover that he faces his own death.</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Enter a story full of intrigue, heart-wrenching defeat, uncompromising love, and staggering victory - one that reexamines everything you thought you knew about the heart of Jesus' stunning message and the power that follows for those who follow his easily forgotten way.</i></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;">The story was interesting enough to keep me listening, Ellen Archer is a great narrator, and I was keen to see how contact with Yeshua played out in the lives of the central characters from <a href="https://tuesdaysviews.blogspot.com/2019/02/ad-30-ted-dekker.html" target="_blank">book one</a>. </span></div>

I thought the author was setting us up, and, was resigned to the thought that he was going to have Talya, Saba, or Maviah give their life in that arena. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;">I think what let the <i>story </i>part down for me were the preaching chapters towards the end of the book (I enjoy a good sermon - just not inside my historical fiction read where the author has tried to disguise their lengthy sermonising into the guise of supposed <i>storytelling</i> dialogue between the characters). Added to that, Dekkers portrayal of how he thought Christ acted after his resurrection was a bit of stretch for me. One example is where the author had him winking at people - like in scriptures where he that "winketh with his eye/s" is a seriously bad action. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Clara Kelley is not who they think she is. She's not the experienced Irish maid who was hired to work in one of Pittsburgh's grandest households. She's a poor farmer's daughter with nowhere to go and nothing in her pockets. But the other woman with the same name has vanished, and pretending to be her just might get Clara some money to send back home.<o:p></o:p></i></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>If she can keep up the ruse, that is. Serving as a lady's maid in the household of Andrew Carnegie requires skills he doesn't have, answering to an icy mistress who rules her sons and her domain with an iron fist. What Clara does have is a resolve as strong as the steel Pittsburgh is becoming famous for, coupled with an uncanny understanding of business, and Andrew begins to rely on her. But Clara can't let her guard down, not even when Andrew becomes something more than an employer. Revealing her past might ruin her future — and her family's.<o:p></o:p></i></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>With captivating insight and heart, Carnegie's Maid tells the story of one brilliant woman who may have spurred Andrew Carnegie's transformation from ruthless industrialist into the world's first true philanthropist.</i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">After starting out with such promise - there was a generous amount of classic books and poet/poetry sharing in this book. Perfect! - then the audiobook just seemed to start dragging on in the middle: I ended up skipping past chapters, bar one, the very last chapter. Listening to this while also going through <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2642482310?book_show_action=false&from_review_page=1" target="_blank">One Child by Mei Fong</a> was perhaps not the best idea. I think I might have appreciated the pace and storytelling in Carnegies's Maid more if I’d read the printed book and, perhaps, if I hadn’t been so caught up in that soberly disturbing read by Fong; so, I’m going to take that last factor into account and gift it with 3 stars, instead of 2+. </span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>In this historical novel, New York Times bestselling author Ted Dekker tells the epic journey of a woman who rises from the depths of her society to lead her people when she is shown the way by Jesus. A sweeping epic set in the harsh deserts of Arabia and ancient Palestine. A war that rages between kingdoms on the earth and in the heart. The harrowing journey of the woman at the center of it all. The story of Jesus in a way you have never experienced it. Step back in time to the year of our Lord, Anno Domini, 30.</i></span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I didn't go into this book expecting theological accuracy - the reciting of the beatitudes (grinds teeth), and the authors interpretation of what Jesus would think about Herod marry Herodotus, as opposed to what John the Baptist said - and so just enjoyed it as a Christian historical fiction that has a lot of artist licence. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">While the narrator definitely made this an easy and very enjoyable listen, the story itself is not an absolutely stunning “loved’ it 5 star one. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I'm not sure about Maviah's relationship with Judah, I don't think they're suited somehow - I can't put my finger on it - I know he's a warrior etc. etc. but the author seemed to make him a bit too 'bouncy', not stoic enough, for her. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I've got the second audiobook on hold at the library.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Extra: There is some physical attraction/kissing in the book, but no bedroom scenes. Infanticide - a warrior throws a baby out the window to its death. </span>Chellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13087457076737498284noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039817651719259559.post-64700243362068321522019-02-27T13:31:00.002-08:002019-03-01T00:24:05.530-08:00The Church Planting Wife: Help and Hope for Her Heart ~ Christine Hoover<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I've had this book on kindle, waiting to be read, since October 2013 and though I did start it I just couldn't seem to settle and connect with the content. This month was the perfect time for me to read it: God knew I was in the right space to be encouraged by the encouragement and find positive self-analysis in the more challenging portions. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 115%;">I found this to be a very good, thought-provoking, read and went haring off down scripture studying trails of my own. I know an author can't cover every scenario in a book, but I was really keen to see if Christine addressed the specific issue of dealing with manipulators and narcissistic personalities during her church planting time. Sadly for me, she didn't.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">This is not just a book for church planting wives, women in or around those in a ministry/ Christian serving role, or who is a Christian home educating mum, could also find this a beneficial read.<o:p></o:p></span>
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 115%;">Here are a few of the encouraging excerpts I jotted down from Christine's book:</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Is there any area of life not characterized by constant demand and limited supply?<br />In the end, however, we can only give so much. According to our human limits, as we give out to others, our supplies must be replenished. If they are not replenished, we become like a lion tamer fending off weariness, discouragement, dryness, or emptiness. Or perhaps anger, bitterness, or feelings of being unloved or alone.<br />Who will care for us? The Lord will, for He never grows weary of demands, never needs a break, never sleeps, never takes time off. </span></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><br />
We often associate peace with changed circumstances or a lack of busyness, but as Jesus modelled, God’s peace comes through dependence in the midst of busyness. Approaching God through prayer, Bible reading, and worship, in which we bring our needy selves to receive from Him, are acts of need. Peace comes through this dependence, through ceding control into more capable hands. </i></span>Chellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13087457076737498284noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039817651719259559.post-75566513007729207382019-02-25T00:03:00.000-08:002019-03-01T00:24:25.240-08:00Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell ~ Susanna Clarke<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I enjoy Jane Austen and Charles Dickens, and, as others have noted elsewhere on the web, this book does imitate the writing styles of both these authors. I also found traces of Wilkie Collins’ <a href="https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Woman-in-White-Audiobook/B004FODZU4?qid=1551081173&sr=1-2&ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_2&pf_rd_p=e81b7c27-6880-467a-b5a7-13cef5d729fe&pf_rd_r=BNZ073E37VSCVT5PRXDA&" target="_blank"><i>Woman in White</i></a> in there with Clarkes innocent Emma, and, the gentleman of the thistle-down hair. He felt like Count Fosco had morphed into a really bad fairy, one who explains away his most evil deeds as being a reasonable route for him to get what he wants. Poor innocent Lady Emma Potts, Stephen Black, and, Arabella!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Another book reading associate mentioned <i>“It seemed to go on forever, but in the end, I feel like it was worth my time. The last 20% or so had a fast-paced, satisfying climax.”</i> She was exactly right: At 32 hours and 30 minutes the audiobook seems to amble along just like a lengthy, slightly convoluted, Dickens serial and then in the last part of the book, once Jonathan ‘finds’ Arabella, all the threads start pulling together to generate a very satisfying cannot-put-down-until-I’m-finished read. (Even though Simon Prebble's narration is brilliant I ditched the audio, grabbed the library ebook and just read flat out!) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I liked the ending Clarke gifted this story with and wonder if the magicians and the tower of darkness will appear in another work, sometime, somewhere.</span>Chellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13087457076737498284noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039817651719259559.post-13814448869706584282019-02-07T14:26:00.000-08:002019-03-01T00:24:57.807-08:00Sweep: The Story of a Girl and Her Monster ~ Jonathan Auxier <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

With her wits and will, she's managed to beat the deadly odds time and time again. But when Nan gets stuck in a deadly chimney fire, she fears her time has come.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The historical aspect of this book is good, laying out the divide between the social classes, especially for the children, and the struggle the Jewish immigrant had in Victorian Britian. I loved Auxier’s soot golem, Charlie – he’s so loveable, and the inclusion of the Jewish history surrounding a golem. The background of some of the Jewish observance (religious/celebration) days is also included for those not familiar with the history concerning them. It's nice to see Auxier give William Blake's poetry (including <i>The Chimney Sweeper</i>) an airing too.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Don’t be tempted to skip the endnotes, they add an extra layer to this work of art by Jonathan Auxier.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Possible triggers for those with sensitive young readers: the death of parents, and, a child, another child is sold by his parents to a sweep, sacrificial love (giving one’s life to save/protect a loved one) – Auxier touts it as, </span>paraphrasing<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">, by saving others we save ourselves.)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;">Lovely book. It took me some dogged attempts to stay with this book initially. I’m glad I did as it evolved into a story I really came to enjoy. Miss Matty is a gentle-spirited darling and Gaskell gifted her with a character that was easy to love – the happy ending in this read surrounds others love for her and not because of any direct event that happens to her or others. </span><br />

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A charming memoir about Jonathan’s life with two rescued owls, Tweedle-dum and Tweedle-dee.

With her husband taken by the Nazi war machine Irena "lives in adultery" with her, also married, Jewish lover, Adam. The fact that she is not married to Adam saves her from being sent to the ghetto and he is a deciding factor that initially draws her there. </span></span><br />

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I purposely wanted to sip read this so I could pause and ponder over the thoughts Katherine had originally crafted as acceptance speeches and were then gathered together as a collection to form this book. I don’t think I would have enjoyed the speeches in a few solid reading sessions, one speech crammed in on top of the last four speeches would be a little bit like eating too many chocolate eclairs in one go.

I’ve gained a greater understanding to the background of what birthed the thoughts behind Katherine's books which gives me a grudging respect for some of the titles that I have definitely had mixed feelings about …. maybe time for me to take a re-read of a few of those from a different vantage point. </span></span>Chellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13087457076737498284noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039817651719259559.post-4876286953162511392018-12-09T14:14:00.000-08:002018-12-10T11:57:34.823-08:00The Mission Walker ~ Edie Littlefield Sundby<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Whew! The first quarter was an emotive listen: swallow, blink hard, and continue tomorrow…. I need the map to able to appreciate the actual 'walk portion' of the story - the chapters detailing Edie's walk tapered off into interesting, not riveting. Once Edie got to Sierra Vista I was back to fully engaged, for a while….. the walk is interesting but I was so glad, yes glad!, when Edie hopped in the vehicle and was driven towards the border and her husband Dale. I was ready for the narrator to be done and for Edie to go home and spend Christmas with her family too. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The storyline was riveting, though it did start to drag on a bit towards the end of the story as, sadly, Anne became less and less likeable. Her sister Isabel, another pawn in the games of Royal intrigue, was pretty easy to dislike through much of the book. Philippa Gregory is faithful to record all the intermarrying between cousins and, potentially, an Uncle and a niece (meh) along with "mistress gathering" that went on in the royal circles of that era (mid to late 1400’s).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I enjoyed Georgette Heyer's fictionalised retelling of King Charles II's escape from England - I'm now keen to read a non-fiction version of the account. This story has the same tone, witty humour and clever dialogue, and feel as her Regency books which gave this book an interesting if not 100% authentic feel (I don't think I could have endured true 1600 speak throughout this entire book though). <br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Extra for others that like to know things like this too: some bawdy, "lusty" male/female, observations and comments.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #181818;">Nice set of male characters for Maggie to love too: Her father became deformed by bitter revenge, Tom became emotionally deformed thanks to his father's bequest, Stephen was cast as being morally deformed - given to passion over duty - and, Philip was physically deformed and given to being melancholy and bitter because of it. I should have realised once Elliot started quoting, earlier in the book, about denying oneself, selflessness, and sacrifice that that was the hook Elliot was going to hang Maggie out to dry on. <br />Sorry George Elliot, I’ve <i>judged</i> and reviewed this book according to the results at the end; the ending is the kind I loathe in works of fiction, it negates any fine writing that may have preceded it. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; font-size: x-small;">As it's summertime and I'm in the frame of mind to enjoy lighter listening this book garnered itself a plus ...... winter time listens have to work harder for bonus points :) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; font-size: x-small;">That mother by adoption sure is a piece of work and Wentworth has crafted her to be despised she is possessive, jealous, manipulative, and a class act narcissist. That portion of the story reminds me of the surrogate mother in <b><i>Nemesis</i> by Agatha Christie</b>, this listen through especially, and I could clearly see the opening for Wentworth to have the scenario of ‘love killed her’ brought about (not going to say more and generate a spoiler in either book.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; font-size: x-small;">I prefer to listen to Wentworth’s stories narrated by Diana Bishop as opposed to reading them and I think this audiobook makes for a great retro/vintage era whodunit; but, it could easily offend those who imagine that a retro read is going to reflect or uphold many of the (Western Cultures) social norms of today. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Gothic-styled read.

The writing feels the most choppy out of the twenty-four Miss Silver books I’ve listened to so far and the author seems to spend too long fleshing out less relevant moments in the story. In addition, the heiress is an (annoying) silly, dippy eighteen-year old which fortunately is balanced out by a few more likeable characters. For others that get irked by authors doing this, Wentworth does underpin this mystery with a lack of communication /broken engagement issue.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I think Lorelei King's talented narration made this book - not sure I would have appreciated it this much in the written format - and I know this is one of those stories that is going to stay with me for a long time. Tallgrass covers a dark WWII era in American history - a US portion of history I haven't read much about - our country had it's own WWII internment camps for German, Italian and Japanese civilians. This story is about a family that live and farm near a Japanese internment camp. I loved the character of the mum, dad, and, youngest daughter; and their interactions with the Japenese sent to their district. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">This is NOT a lite, fluffy read, Dallas covers really gritty, hard topics: blatant racism, 3 accounts of rape, 2 murders - one of a young teen, spousal abuse. The interview with Dallas at the end gives the story another layer. </span></span><br />

But she does handle their mail and, when given a cigarette lighter and told to burn the letters, she is horrified by the callous act she must carry out with her own hands. This is especially painful since her brother was taken prisoner at Stalingrad and her family have had no letters from him. So Margot steals a few letters, intending to send them in secret, only to find herself drawn to their heart-rending words of hope, of despair, and of love.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Not quite 5 stars. Pre-read this as a potential (NCEA Reader Response, English essay) read for Daisy. A WWII story </span>written<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> from the German perspective, about two Germans. I didn't realise this was intended as an adult read as it definitely has a Y/A feel to it - which I enjoyed! While the topics being covered are gritty and harrowing, the author writes with a more gentle touch not magnify the gore, genocide, brutality, or depravity happening as many WWII books do. I like a semblance of a 'happy ending', which this book has. Off to see what else James Moloney has written.....</span><br />

<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">For others wanting to know extras before handing to your teen: No swearing, some kissing scenes mentioned - one with clothed petting - (not sensual, steamy or explicit), rape is referred to euphemistically, Margot's older sister is having an affair with a married man, details some of the horrors of the concentration camps, describes a 16-year-old German girl being branded on her face by the 'liberators'.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">This
was a recommended homeschool history book that I never got to read with the
children. A sober, harrowing, and gritty listen. The love,
care and respect this family have for one is heartening – along with their
deeply held Buddhist faith – they seem to undergird the incredible resilience
these people required to endure each next heartache and
hardship. The fact that all, bar one member of their family group
make it through that holocaust seems miraculous. Although the
writing may not rank as the very best in literary terms, I felt compelled to
keep reading. This is a story that stays with you, long after the
last word is read. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Extra: while the author/s detail
the atrocities of a despotic, genocidal, regime it is done in a more sobering,
factual tone without “glorifying” the very real horror or the gore of the
events taking place. Beheadings, mass murders, the horrors of
slavery, an account of gang rape, the desperation and vulnerability of fleeing
refugees.</span><br />
