| It may be that God is reminding me that I am approaching my November. Well, why regret it? November has beauty, has seen the harvest into the barns, even laid by next year’s seed. No need to fret about not being allowed to stay and sow it, someone el ...more | |

| I can't say enough how much I have enjoyed the Brother Cadfael books. I probably haven't come across a character I loved so much since Flavia de Luce. I'm so sad to be reaching the end of this wonderful series – only one more book left. (I also found ...more | |

I'm throwing in the towel on this one at page 76. I wasn't looking for a hagiography of Columbus, but I didn't want a slanderous hatchet job either. This biography is a prime example of presentism, which is interpreting and judging the past based on ...more |

| I went into this thinking it was just going to say eat more vegetables, get more exercise, and get more sleep. And yes, it does kind of say that, but it says a whole lot more. This was actually a really good book and it gave me a lot to think about. ...more | |

| Not a bad premise, but so repetitive and slow-moving. I don't mind a slow burn, but this one doesn't even show a wisp of smoke until halfway through, and that soon goes out. And I got so tired of reading about his fingers brushing against her wrist o ...more | |

“She stared at him with those hard black eyes. But it wasn’t her eyes this time that caught his attention.
It was the sharp point of her spear, only inches away from his chest.
It was the last thing he would ever see.”

“A few kids were trying to surf without much luck, but this wasn’t a good surfing spot. Jack watched as the wanna-be surfers struggled to stay on their boards. He guessed they were kids from out of town with rented surfboards staying at a beach house. The water looked cold, and they weren’t even wearing wetsuits. Maybe they were from someplace that had been buried in snow all winter and they thought this was warm.”

“I am skeptical about the idea that we can learn much from history, at least in the sense that knowledge of past follies will prevent us from making similar blunders in the future... And yet it is important to know what happened before, and to try and make sense of it. For if we don't, we cannot understand our own times.”
