Breakdown by Sara Paretsky
Breakdown
by Sara Paretsky (Goodreads Author)
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
One of the things I admire most about Sara Paretsky is her ability to fully embrace the moment and the choices she's made. Like her character, V.I. Warshawski, she is smart, self-aware, passionate, and funny.

This is another series that I've been r...more

The Flight of Gemma Hardy by Margot Livesey
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
In retrospect I probably shouldn't have re-read Jane Eyre so close to my reading of The Flight of Gemma Hardy. I think I would've enjoyed the latter much more if it had been further in proximity from the former.

Ms. Livesey can write, and I'm defin...more

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
If you're looking for a scholarly literary article on Jane Eyre, you've come to the wrong place. I've already written that paper - twice, in fact (once in high school and once in college). The re-read this time was purely for pleasure and because t...more

The Dispatcher by Ryan David Jahn
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
I wanted to read The Dispatcher because the story sounded like it would be good and because I panned the author's first book, Good Neighbors (yes, I know it won an award). Most of my issues with Good Neighbors had to do with some authorial and metaf...more

The Crown
by Nancy Bilyeau (Goodreads Author)
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
This book really gets off to a slow start (this was probably exacerbated by my having read it directly after Lionheart by Sharon Kay Penman - she tends to spoil other historical fiction for me in too close proximity). Just as I was beginning to thin...more

Lionheart
by Sharon Kay Penman (Goodreads Author)
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
I've been reading Sharon Kaye Penman from the beginning with her very first book, The Sunne in Splendour. My copy of this book has been re-read so many times it's close to needing replacing. She is one of my favorite authors, although she does spoi...more

“That which we manifest is before us; we are the creators of our own destiny. Be it through intention or ignorance, our successes and our failures have been brought on by none other than ourselves.”
Garth Stein

Garth Stein
“He died that day because his body had served its purpose. His soul had done what it came to do, learned what it came to learn, and then was free to leave.”
Garth Stein, The Art of Racing in the Rain

“It is not violence that best overcomes hate -- nor vengeance that most certainly heals injury.”
Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

Keith Donohue
“The bed in which we spend a third of our lives functions as a kind of protective haven for the true self, the subconscious refuge from the assault of the external world. The bed becomes the restorative womb, where the imagination is nurtured while our resting bodies are safe.”
Keith Donohue, Centuries of June

“It's not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren't doing it.”
