Davis has a wonderful talent for taking a little known (or little known to me!) aspect of history and creating a story around it that's the perfect blend of entertaining fiction and fascinating non-fiction. In my opinion, The Stolen Queen is her best ...more | |

Larkin is a master of getting inside a moment, not dissecting it, but just gazing at it until it reveals its secrets. Her writing is slowly revelatory; you come to know the characters more and more deeply over the entire course of the story. They are ...more | |

If Jane Austen were to write another novel about a smart, kind, strong English woman with a complicated family situation and little means, but set in 1919 just after WWI, this would be it. You have the brother who won't help, the rich ladies who are ...more | |

Really enjoyed this one! Very impressed at Alderton's ability to get inside the mind of a 35 yo guy and his buddies as he navigates his breakup. The story is good, but it's the details that are delicious. The audio narrator was really good, too. ...more | |

Meyer’s meticulously researched novel paints an evocative picture of 1960s activism, with its dichotomies of sacrifice and thrill, intelligence and naivete, service to others and to ego. Annabelle Cooper, like so many in the movement, brims with altr ...more | |

Rainbow Rowell is hard to beat for lovably weird, quirky characters. As she did in Attachments and Eleanor and Park (which I LOVED - go read them!), she serves up the interior lives of real people in such a beautiful, fascinating, intricate way. She ...more | |

“Loneliness is painful. But suffering is not wrong in and of itself. It's part of the human experience, and in a way brings us closer to all people.”

“The Magi in my life have always surprised me. They have often been people I initially felt I had nothing in common with. Sometimes I didn't even like them. But they came bearing gifts. Of wisdom, or acceptance. One or two came to give me a kick in the pants...and some left as suddenly as they came. They returned to their respective homelands or continued on their own journeys. I miss some of them... But we all have to find our way toward what ever miracle awaits us. And to perform miracles, when it is in our power to do so. Maybe the most important question is: how do I serve the Magi for others? How generously do I give my gifts - and not just to the obvious recipients in my life? How far out of my way do go to recognize and pay homage to miracles? Not very far some days. But on good days, just far enough. ”

“We all miss people. I miss my parents, may they rest in peace. I miss my marriage when it was good. You don't have to stop missing. You just have to accept that missing doesn't mean you turn away your happiness.”
