Review of Just Three Dates
I have read some books by David Burnett and this one is the best. Karen and Mark journey to love is full of sweet and moving moments. It has dual POV and you know exactly what are they thinking all the way through their dates and what drives them to the marriage of convenience.
Mark is a college professor, who loves hiking and photography. He had his heart broken and is reluctant in pursuing anothe Read more of this blog post »

quote
“J. R. R. Tolkien, the near-universally-hailed father of modern epic fantasy, crafted his magnum opus The Lord of the Rings to explore the forces of creation as he saw them: God and country, race and class, journeying to war and returning home. I’ve heard it said that he was trying to create some kind of original British mythology using the structure of other cultures’ myths, and maybe that was true. I don’t know. What I see, when I read his work, is a man trying desperately to dream.
Dreaming is impossible without myths. If we don’t have enough myths of our own, we’ll latch onto those of others — even if those myths make us believe terrible or false things about ourselves. Tolkien understood this, I think because it’s human nature. Call it the superego, call it common sense, call it pragmatism, call it learned helplessness, but the mind craves boundaries. Depending on the myths we believe in, those boundaries can be magnificently vast, or crushingly tight.” N.K. Jemisin |
