Omit cross-reference entries SF Encyclopedia Home Page A Kiss at Midnight by Eloisa James5/29/2023 The pages might as well be laced with a bit of pixie dust. Some historical details as a result seem off, but the genuine fairy tale romance feel of the entire book is so worth it. Since A Kiss at Midnight is a Cinderella retelling, James chose not to set it in any specific time period so she could stay truer to the fairy tale. While I’m not sure A Kiss at Midnight has the long-term resonance of that six book series with me, it’s still an absolutely delightful story that I thoroughly enjoyed. You might recall that I just adored her Desperate Duchesses series, which only got better with each successive volume. Little does she expect that she’ll find it so hard to keep up the pretense with Prince Gabriel.Įloisa James is completely a must-buy author for me. When her stepsister is bitten by her pet dog, though, Kate is forced to impersonate her, complete with fiance and bratty dogs, at a ball in a prince’s castle. There are few bright spots in her life she’s never had a London season and can’t imagine where she’d find a husband, nor is she certain that she’d be able to abandon the tenants to Mariana’s whims. Since her stepmother Mariana cares nothing for their estate, nor for her, she’s had to take everything into her own hands – and when staff are fired, she ends up taking on their jobs. Miss Kate Daltry’s life hasn’t been great since her father died. Darling rose gold5/29/2023 If you aren’t familiar, Deedee Blanchard – Gypsy Rose’s mother – spent Gypsy Rose’s entire life pretending that she was very, very ill. Like many people, I followed along with the Gypsy Rose Blanchard story in the headlines with a sort of horrified attention, appalled that a mother could mistreat their own child so terribly. When I originally heard that this book was coming out, I knew I had to have it. You know better than anyone that no matter how awful they are, we still find it in our hearts to love them.” “The bond between a mother and daughter is sacred. Unfortunately for Patty, Rose Gold is no longer her weak little darling…Īnd she’s waited such a long time for her mother to come home. She says she’s forgiven Rose Gold for turning her in and testifying against her. Patty insists all she wants is to reconcile their differences. The entire community is shocked when Rose Gold says yes. Turns out her mom, Patty Watts, was just a really good liar.Īfter serving five years in prison, Patty gets out with nowhere to go and begs her daughter to take her in. Neighbors did all they could, holding fundraisers and offering shoulders to cry on, but no matter how many doctors, tests, or surgeries, no one could figure out what was wrong with Rose Gold. She was allergic to everything, used a wheelchair and practically lived at the hospital. For the first eighteen years of her life, Rose Gold Watts believed she was seriously ill. Les miserables julie rose5/28/2023 Denny claims to be writing an unabridged translation, but this is blatantly false. I've read it multiple times, in two different translations this was one of them.

In the first chapter, McEwan presents the scene of Edward and Florence eating their wedding meal in the hotel. Set at the turn of the Swinging Sixties, On Chesil Beach follows Florence Ponting and Edward Mayhew as they go from innocence to experience in their attempt to lose their virginities on their wedding night.Īlthough there is very little dialogue (which does not begin until page 82) the novel encapsulates sexual anxiety and tension from both parties. As an author who has become synonymous with star-crossed lovers (Atonement), unreliable narrators (Enduring Love, Nutshell), and gritty realism (The Cement Garden), On Chesil Beach is regarded as one of McEwan’s classics. On Chesil Beach is Ian McEwan’s tenth novel. He was a failure at gold mining, so he next turned to journalism. After toiling as a printer in various cities, he became a master riverboat pilot on the Mississippi River, before heading west to join Orion. He also worked as a typesetter and contributed articles to his older brother Orion's newspaper. Twain grew up in Hannibal, Missouri, which would later provide the setting for Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer. He is noted for his novels Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885), called "the Great American Novel", and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876). Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American author and humorist. Librarian Note: There is more than one author by this name in the Goodreads database. We’ll examine how unique the idea of a female sovereign was in Margaret’s time, and how her erasure from history might not be accidental. We’ll explore how this singular woman navigated the many intrigues surrounding the Sicilian Monarchy, focused her efforts on creating equality before the law and peace amongst her Kingdom’s many cultures, and rebuilt the Monarchy after serious infighting almost tore the institution to the ground. She’ll introduce us to the incredible figure of Queen Margaret, whose five-year reign over the Kingdom of Sicily represents a forgotten chapter from the Norman Sicilian Golden Age. We’re joined by Jacqueline Alio, an Italian American now living in Palermo, Sicily, who has written a dozen books on Sicilian history, focusing on the island’s long-overlooked queens. We’re celebrating International Women’s Day by exploring one of Italian history’s most-neglected protagonists, Margaret of Navarre, the Norman Queen of Sicily. Tiggy winkle5/28/2023 Of course, Beatrix Potter created many memorable children's characters, including Benjamin Bunny, Tom Kitten, Jemima Puddle-duck and Jeremy Fisher. Four were sacrificed in 1903 to make space for illustrated endpapers, and two have never been used before. Most notably, The Tale of Peter Rabbit restores six of Potter's original illustrations. The colors and details of the watercolors in the volumes are reproduced more accurately than ever before, and it has now been possible to disguise damage that has affected the artwork over the years. The aim of these editions is to be as close as possible to Beatrix Potter's intentions while benefiting from modern printing and design techniques. To celebrate Peter's birthday, Frederick Warne is publishing new editions of all 23 of Potter's original tales, which take the very first printings of Potter's works as their guide. Elixir by Elizabeth Jeannel5/28/2023 At the gym where she works, at the coffee shop she frequents, and then at the LGBT therapy group she decides to attend on a whim. Parker is less than a year out of a toxic relationship when she starts seeing Ava all over town. But when she starts seeing Parker everywhere, she finds it hard to ignore how familiar Parker is, and how at peace Parker's presence in her life makes her feel. Ava's traumatic past with relationships, and her inability to fully embrace her asexuality has made it hard for her to connect with anyone. When Ava meets Parker in an LGBT therapy group, she's hesitant to get close to someone new. |
