by Philippa Gregory

Hey Lani! Sorry I didn't see this message for a couple of days. This is the only one of hers I've read...I think...lol anyway, it wasn't naughty at all. This was truly just about the imprisonment of Queen Mary and the people who were involved. I was impressed. Read it. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/68653923 War and Peace (Paperback) by Leo Tolstoy

For a good, humorous, fun story that has nothing to do with the Law...check out this book. I'm a Grisham fan anyway, but I thought this book was a nice break from his usual and loved listening to all of it.
Has been pro NFL gets last chance quarterback position for a team in the Italian Football league. It just gets better and better as it goes. Definitely worth a read. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/68652847 to: The Shack (Audio CD) by William P. Young
I think putting that it was ok was kinda generous. I knew in the forward that I was in for trouble. This author really wants to drive a point home, but he just goes on and on and on and on about it. It's very annoying! The story itself was very interesting and had much potential, but the chapters and chapters and chapters of Theology lecturing made me want to tear my hair out, besides the fact that I don't agree at all with the theology given. I did however find some very good points that kinda make you think about things and say to yourself, "yeah I could benefit from that". But on the whole...I'm ok if I never read this one again! ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/68652667 to: The Other Queen (Hardcover) by Philippa Gregory
I found this book very interesting! Although a fiction based on Queen Mary of Scots vs Queen Elizabeth, it was nice to read about the actual events that lead to Mary's death. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/68652516 to: Shakespeare: The Biography (Paperback) by Peter Ackroyd
I only gave this 3 stars because for as interesting it was, it could also be boring. I shamefully admit this book took me months and months to read. It was very informative and I actually learned a lot, but it was no I've just got to pick it up and read it either. Perhaps the author got a bit too detailed with every moment of Shaespeare's life. It's hard to explain because I did really like it, just was soooo glad when it was over too. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/59683836 Cherene's review of A Great and Terrible Beauty (Gemma Doyle, #1)
by Libba Bray

I read this book too. Gave it the exact same amount of stars you did as well. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/60596241 Shawnah's review of A Midsummer Night's Dream
by William Shakespeare

I find it interesting all the plays you have read of Shakespear's. I am just now half through my second biography on him and learning quite a lot. It's good albeit tedious learning. Anyway my next goal is to begin reading as many of his plays as I can find. I'm kind of excited. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/57583004 to: The Heretic's Daughter (Hardcover) by Kathleen Kent
I truly enjoyed this book. Set in 1690's America or the New World particularly Massachussetts. Dealing with the Puritans and all the hullaballoo (sp) with witches and witch craft. This is concerning the time period of the Salem Witch Trials and all the false accusations and unnecessary deaths that occurred in those time. Told through the experiences of a daughter of a supposed witch. I learned so much as the fictional story is based on a lot of fact and also has many references with actual victims of the times. What a fearful time it must of been to even have a bad thought or an eye twitch around anyone in public. What an eye opener I really had no idea! ]]>
