Good read, little predictable and dull at times though. VERY disappointed at how little Newton was in it. And never even told us if he survived the carriage wreak! Newton being the most entertaining and lively character of the entire book.
Ridiculously predictable. Had the ending completely figured out by the end of the first chapter.

So i caved and bought the first Bridgerton book. Im a little over 100 pages in so far and its quite good. Humorous. I enjoy book Daphne and Simon much more than their tv counter parts so far. The show character are very 2D compared to the sarcasm and wit of the book version. Ill post a full review when im finished with it
One of my all-time favorite books. An absolute classic and a must read for any classic or romance lover. The passionate love between Elizabeth and Mr Darcy is timeless.
First page:Abigail is born. Then a random speal about a comet. Second page: now shes 17 and here are her thoughts about disappointment! Yeah, im looking for a good biography now
While fictional, this book offers a wonderful view into a turbulent time in Massachusetts history: the Salem Witch Trail. Told by the point of view of a girl around the same age as the girls “afflicted” by witchcraft, she knows the truth behind the false claims and struggles between revealing the truth and having her own family named as witches and hung or keeping silent and protecting those she loves.
Loved it. I now own the entire series and have read them through a couples times. Anxiously awaiting the next book.
Its a great book, with both murder, mystery, romance, and a great dane named singer. Like most nicholas sparks books, the romance is actually realistic, not like a lot of other romance books where its like, "we met on monday and were gettin married next friday!". I dont know about you, but i prefer them to be realistic. Also, the ending will make you cry if you have a heart so beware of that. Overall, great book.
I picked this book up after watchin the first season of the PBS show "Victoria". While it is a good book, it follows the show up to Victorias engagement to Albert. So if you like the show, give the book a shot but dont really expect much deep story than the show give you.

"You don‘t know what goes on in anyone‘s life but your own. And when you mess with one part of a person‘s life, you‘re not messing with just that part. Unfortunately, you can‘t be that precise and selective. When you mess with one part of a person‘s life, you‘re messing with their entire life. Everything. . . affects everything."
I got this book a few years ago in Glacier National Park and i love reading it while camping. Its a spell-bounding collection of legends and stories from various tribes in the Northern Rocky Mountains including the Flatheads, the Kalispels, the Nez Perces, the Shoshonis, the Arapahos, the Blackfeet, the Crows, and the Sioux. I fully recommend it to anyone with an interest in Native American culture. Also a great collection of stories for children
A great historical fiction about a young woman living in the capital of the Confederacy during the Civil War. While trying to find a way to help the Cause and please her mother, Susan uncovers secrets about herself and her family that chances not only her life, but possibly the course of history.
"That's when it struck me: how gorgeous we all were, even with cellulite (saw a lot of that) and stretch marks, scars and tattoos. Let me just say this, not single body was perfect, not even the fittest of women there."
