<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Beverley J. Hall was born in Kent, England, although her family returned to
Scotland before her second birthday, which explains her accent. She grew up
in North Lanarkshire, surrounded by rolling Scottish hills with her nose in
a book.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">She returned to South East England to study Art and Design at both
Winchester School of Art and Central St Martins, in London. It was here she
discovered her love of story-telling, as she realized that, no matter the
medium, it was something her ADHD brain could thrive in.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">After teaching for many years, she was diagnosed with a chronic illness and
found her voice. She finally took the massive leap and returned to study an
M.A. in Creative Writing to develop her skill and embraced her love of
books, both reading and writing.</span>

He was born in Scotland but buried in Clonmeen, County Cork, Ireland in 1647 after the Battle of Knocknanuss. This was during the Irish Confederate Wars, between the armies of Confederate Ireland and the English Parliamentarian forces.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Though the Irish lost, Alasdair Mac Colla’s bravery became well-known. After repeated attacks, his ranks continued to reform and continue fighting. After surrendering to a promise of quarter, he was shot anyway as a prisoner, causing even more bitterness towards the loss of such a famous leader.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">In Ireland and Scotland, Gaelic melodies were composed in his honor, called “praise poems.” They commemorated him in the tradition of the Hebrides and Highlands, turning his deeds into tall tales now equitable with mythology for the Irish people.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">The song was from the 1640s but Capercaillie is a traditional Gaelic band named after the turkey-like bird that used to proliferate the Highlands.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; overflow-wrap: break-word;"><br /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="https://ifttt.com/view_embed_recipe/29517-send-blogger-post-to-facebook" target = "_blank" class="embed_recipe embed_recipe-l_29" id= "embed_recipe-29517"><img src= 'https://ifttt.com/recipe_embed_img/29517' alt="IFTTT Recipe: Send Blogger post to Facebook connects blogger to facebook" width="370px" style="max-width:100%"/></a><script async type="text/javascript" src= "//ifttt.com/assets/embed_recipe.js"></script></div>AntrimCyclehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14725930243781634570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7120393371353126384.post-64706910847514526202022-07-12T09:19:00.000-04:002022-07-12T09:19:16.273-04:00Book Review: The Ice Queen by Alice Hoffman<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikKR-OEkw78k0nlGUWvjVvBuo2niiHrwLGEZ6IiC--4JKKYwou5mT_KTf9Tiv3b-09EaAXYoQCuMCrld7f2n5mA2uwfXdIL6AVNlmiLJ8P6hTtKJHRMdTKRVSX4LeHM3NcUB3EHLxKwyIJP-2VOfv9O-BnZ-Qs-dvXn0-dyuWkNQcdCH1amiz263Eq/s475/picture.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="475" data-original-width="316" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikKR-OEkw78k0nlGUWvjVvBuo2niiHrwLGEZ6IiC--4JKKYwou5mT_KTf9Tiv3b-09EaAXYoQCuMCrld7f2n5mA2uwfXdIL6AVNlmiLJ8P6hTtKJHRMdTKRVSX4LeHM3NcUB3EHLxKwyIJP-2VOfv9O-BnZ-Qs-dvXn0-dyuWkNQcdCH1amiz263Eq/s320/picture.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><p></p><p>I always think I've read all the books by my favorite authors but every once in a while a book by Alice Hoffman or Anne Tyler or Mary Balogh shows up from their back catalog that I've never seen before. The Ice Queen is one of those books, and a lovely story it is.</p><p>The protagonist loves books, especially fairy tales (Grimm, not Andersen), so when her mother leaves for a party, this eight-year-old girl makes a wish and her mother dies in an accident. Later, the girl's grandmother is the recipient of another wish. As a young woman, our unnamed heroine makes a third wish and is struck by lightning.</p><p>These circumstances cause her to believe she is unworthy of love:</p><p>“At night I told myself a story, wordless, inside my head, one I liked far better than those in my books. The girl in my story was treated cruelly, by fate, by her family, even by the weather. Her feet bled from the stony paths; her hair was plucked from her head by blackbirds. She went from house to house, looking for refuge. Not a single neighbor answered his door, and so one day the girl gave up speaking. She lived on the side of a mountain where every day was snowy. She stood outside without a roof, without shelter; before long she was made of ice—her flesh, her bones, her blood. She looked like a diamond; it was possible to spy her from miles away. She was so beautiful now that everyone wanted her: people came to talk to her, but she wouldn’t answer. Birds lit on her shoulder; she didn’t bother to chase them away. She didn’t have to. If they took a single peck, their beaks would break in two. Nothing could hurt her anymore. After a while, she became invisible, queen of the ice. Silence was her language, and her heart had turned a perfect pale silver color. It was so hard nothing could shatter it. Not even stones.”</p><p>This is a dark story just like the Grimm fairy tales our heroine loves. It is also a story of opposites: life and death, ice and fire, dark and light, fairy tales and chaos theory. There's a lot of symbolism and touches of magic. But it's also a story of redemption and sibling love. I loved this book. It's definitely one to reread.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="https://ifttt.com/view_embed_recipe/29517-send-blogger-post-to-facebook" target = "_blank" class="embed_recipe embed_recipe-l_29" id= "embed_recipe-29517"><img src= 'https://ifttt.com/recipe_embed_img/29517' alt="IFTTT Recipe: Send Blogger post to Facebook connects blogger to facebook" width="370px" style="max-width:100%"/></a><script async type="text/javascript" src= "//ifttt.com/assets/embed_recipe.js"></script></div>AntrimCyclehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14725930243781634570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7120393371353126384.post-4419312225397780342022-07-11T08:13:00.000-04:002022-07-11T08:13:30.652-04:00Preorder Blitz: Salted Caramel Bliss with a Wedding Kiss by Cherie Colyer<p> </p><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://sites.google.com/rabtbooktoursandpr.com/summer-2022-blitzes/cherie-colyer-salted-caramel-bliss-with-a-wedding-kiss-preorder-blitz"><img height="200" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/production-sitebuilder-v1-0-3/663/206663/rL88XEv2/644e91bf83e74623963f7b029c66eece" width="500" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a 1="" href="https://storage.googleapis.com/production-sitebuilder-v1-0-3/663/206663/rL88XEv2/3c98c72cf01e48c590bbf3374b9a79bf" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="416" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/production-sitebuilder-v1-0-3/663/206663/rL88XEv2/3c98c72cf01e48c590bbf3374b9a79bf" width="278" /></a>

Over the course of the three books, the stakes have risen like a tidal wave that has finally crashed down in the last few chapters of The Poison Song.<br />I simply love these characters; good and bad, their redemption arcs or character growth have had me engrossed all along the way. Noon, Tor, Vintage, those wonderful war-beasts, and all the others fighting for Sarn and Ebora, I'm going to miss you a lot.<br />The story has been superb, unlike anything else I've read. This is dark fantasy at its best, with a ray of hope shining for the reader. The bittersweet ending was correct though it made me sad. I can't say much because of spoilers, but I do urge anyone who loves a good story with great characters to pick up this trilogy.<br />I give it all the stars.<br />P.S. I love the book covers too</span></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="https://ifttt.com/view_embed_recipe/29517-send-blogger-post-to-facebook" target = "_blank" class="embed_recipe embed_recipe-l_29" id= "embed_recipe-29517"><img src= 'https://ifttt.com/recipe_embed_img/29517' alt="IFTTT Recipe: Send Blogger post to Facebook connects blogger to facebook" width="370px" style="max-width:100%"/></a><script async type="text/javascript" src= "//ifttt.com/assets/embed_recipe.js"></script></div>AntrimCyclehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14725930243781634570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7120393371353126384.post-1740946872125666962022-07-06T12:41:00.000-04:002022-07-06T12:41:07.804-04:00Book Review: Harry's Trees by Jon Cohen<p><br /></p><table border="0" cellspacing="1" class="myActivity" style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; table-layout: fixed; width: 100%px;"><tbody><tr><td colspan="2" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG45vRsXfiHnuTQ0ka7zYz5w4lJj5zzU6HrF0qLYMVDwqBcLFPx0UVOmqwLyoz51f8SdhlP9as9jZjHBDqjJpmqiX5-oWQhKT6mCD4IuK1B9gcmGQzc8faIIuJtcNDjDKJXxhJsbzhtAd9NfvHbTy-0iPOxWPUF9cSRtC7ObudbLRB-Ao91ExqG3Jr/s475/picture.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="475" data-original-width="315" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG45vRsXfiHnuTQ0ka7zYz5w4lJj5zzU6HrF0qLYMVDwqBcLFPx0UVOmqwLyoz51f8SdhlP9as9jZjHBDqjJpmqiX5-oWQhKT6mCD4IuK1B9gcmGQzc8faIIuJtcNDjDKJXxhJsbzhtAd9NfvHbTy-0iPOxWPUF9cSRtC7ObudbLRB-Ao91ExqG3Jr/s320/picture.jpg" width="212" /></a></div><span class="readable reviewText" style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; line-height: 21px;">"What else is a library, but a temple of truth? What other function do books have, the great ones, but to change the reader? Books to comfort. But most of all, books to disturb you forward."<br />I'm a lover of books of magical realism (Winter's Tale by Mark Helprin may be one of my most favorite books), so Harry's Trees is perfect for me. I will venture that it might also be a perfect story for most readers.<br />It begins very sadly for both Harry and Amanda, our protagonists, who've both lost their spouses. Oriana, Amanda's daughter, seeks solace for the loss of her father in fairy tales, aided by the "witchy" local librarian. Their lives collide a year later as each of the three tries to find a solution for their grief.<br />This is a beautiful story, set against the backdrop of the Endless Mountains in Pennsylvania. I was surprised to find it an actual place and perfect for Harry who has loved trees most of his life. Every character has an important place in the book and multiple stories weave their way through the story. Even the minor characters have satisfying endings, which one doesn't always find and I enjoy.<br />And of course, there's a lot of symbolism and magic - not overt, no wands or mystical spells - but the best and worst part of fairy tales: red coats, portentous feathers, heroes and villains, and significant coincidences.<br />This is one of those books I'll reread. It's a wonderful story about hope and love.<br />“Because it’s worth it. Worth the risk and the pain. Of all the glorious enchantments of this world—spring, snow, laughter, red roses, dogs, books—love is by far the best.”</span></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="https://ifttt.com/view_embed_recipe/29517-send-blogger-post-to-facebook" target = "_blank" class="embed_recipe embed_recipe-l_29" id= "embed_recipe-29517"><img src= 'https://ifttt.com/recipe_embed_img/29517' alt="IFTTT Recipe: Send Blogger post to Facebook connects blogger to facebook" width="370px" style="max-width:100%"/></a><script async type="text/javascript" src= "//ifttt.com/assets/embed_recipe.js"></script></div>AntrimCyclehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14725930243781634570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7120393371353126384.post-9175332768827230332022-07-05T07:37:00.000-04:002022-07-05T07:37:17.694-04:00Book Review: The Bitter Twins by Jen Williams<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfGV4ZwXcPgQsfGxvdMXktBq4RVNza59EV679kaGlzM0cZuMIIYU3C0H1AnNV8VuEee5GjOCwVb7xpL-tsdXjQeGHYXUQynLCE0S_HvXRM0keZu5u1DtGzAachwqS771wdSE2X-4IdQFzaeuw3U54kFK69wX39fdpgeRQJddcpXc5rZQz1XXMxGGeQ/s475/picture.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="475" data-original-width="309" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfGV4ZwXcPgQsfGxvdMXktBq4RVNza59EV679kaGlzM0cZuMIIYU3C0H1AnNV8VuEee5GjOCwVb7xpL-tsdXjQeGHYXUQynLCE0S_HvXRM0keZu5u1DtGzAachwqS771wdSE2X-4IdQFzaeuw3U54kFK69wX39fdpgeRQJddcpXc5rZQz1XXMxGGeQ/s320/picture.jpg" width="208" /></a></div><br />This is one of the most amazing fantasy (with a bit of sci-fi thrown in) series I've read in quite a long while. Fantasy authors and publishers tend to write trilogies a la Tolkein, but too often the middle work is stuffed with padding and needless wandering around for my tastes. This is one of those rare exceptions where the author kept the pacing, built the world and the character arcs, and kept the reader on the edge of their seat for the duration of the book.
This book splits into several different POVs. Noon, our fell-witch, and Tor are off to find a lost recording that may help their war beasts learn their powers and coordinate with each other better. Bern and Aldasair go to fight a Jure'lia threat to Bern's homeland. Vintage is trying to manage things in Ebora with the help of an Eboran boy Eri but it's not easy with betrayals and political infighting. And Hestillion, Tor's sister, was taken by the Jure'lia queen though she seems a willing prisoner. This was an especially interesting POV as we got to see from the Jure'lia side of things a little.
These are such unique characters and their interactions draw the reader in which adds to the tension. The worldbuilding is amazing and unusual but fits so well into the history we discover. There are themes being explored and developed here: connections between groups, origin myths, and exploitation of people. The writing is excellent but also very dark, and I was crying by the end of the book. But it's a fascinating series and I can't wait to dive into The Poison Song.<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="https://ifttt.com/view_embed_recipe/29517-send-blogger-post-to-facebook" target = "_blank" class="embed_recipe embed_recipe-l_29" id= "embed_recipe-29517"><img src= 'https://ifttt.com/recipe_embed_img/29517' alt="IFTTT Recipe: Send Blogger post to Facebook connects blogger to facebook" width="370px" style="max-width:100%"/></a><script async type="text/javascript" src= "//ifttt.com/assets/embed_recipe.js"></script></div>AntrimCyclehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14725930243781634570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7120393371353126384.post-81810426855961721662022-07-04T06:41:00.003-04:002022-07-04T06:41:44.271-04:00The Continuing Adventures of Laurel Palmer by Pamela McCord

little shove by her husband, Laurel wakes up dead. And there’s no sign

them on this earthly plane, feelings develop. Not knowing if heaven will

<span color="none" style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Pam got a late start in writing but has made up for it with several
published novels and a few more on the way. A serendipitous conversation
with a writer friend launched her literary career, and the fact that she
might never have had that particular conversation is enough to make her
believe that fate played a hand in sending her down the path to becoming an
author. All four of her published books have won the Mom’s Choice
Award Gold Seal, and the first book in her Pekin Dewlap Mystery series was
the winner of the American Book Fest Children’s Fiction Award.
She’s lived in Southern California most of her life and is thankful to
have a loving family and supportive friends. Spending time at home during
the COVID pandemic advanced both Pam's writing and her relationship with her
My Cat From Hell TV star, Allie, who manages to exude just enough affection
to make her scary feral ways tolerable.</span>

I say both genres because this book has a unique blending of the two that works really well here. The book is the well-deserved winner of the British Fantasy Award for Best Fantasy Novel.</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">There's a fine mix of distinctive characters and races. At the core are the Eborans, a warrior race who have fought in eight previous wars against alien invaders, the Jure'lia. They are also feared by humans because in the last war, the Eighth Rain, their tree-god died. They were sustained by the sap of the tree but turned to human blood. Then they've been stricken with the scarlet flux, a deadly disease that is slowly aging and wiping out the Eboran race.</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Tormalin the Oathless left Ebora and ended up working for archeologist Vintage De Grazon as she explores the wreckage left by the Jure'lia. She needs a bodyguard as these wrecks are invested with parasite spirits (RAFO). Meanwhile, fell-witches are born to humans, women who manifest winnow fire. These women are imprisoned in the Winnowry and Fell Noon has been there for ten years, taken as a child, and longs to escape. These are the three primary characters but they all have fascinating backgrounds and I loved how they grew as the book goes on. I can't wait to see what happens to them in the next book in the series.</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The secondary characters are interesting also. There are some very unique and complex people in the book. Tor's sister is definitely morally gray and will bear watching.</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">What we learn about the Jure'lia world is also fascinating. As I said earlier in this review, I can't think of a fantasy book (maybe some of Mark Lawrence's books set in Abeth) that so successfully combines fantasy and science fiction.

In 2007 the Oxford Junion Dictionary caused a stir by dropping words it felt no longer had a connection with children, words like wren, willow, otter, acorn, ivy, and others. Author Robert Macfarlane and artist Jackie Morris created a lovely book The Lost Words to restore those missing words. Macfarlane's words are meant to be read aloud, a sort of spell to bring them back to life.<br />
<br />
The book is beyond lovely, and every household should have a copy. Today is John Muir Day which gives the meaning of the book a special emphasis.<br />
<br />
A group of renowned UK musicians got together to write songs as a companion to the book and a way 'to sing nature back to life.' Spell Songs is the result, and a more beautiful tribute can't be imagined. Julie Fowlis and Kris Drever took the word otter and created the lovely song I picked for this Trad Tuesday: Selkie-Boy.<br />

Robert Powell’s work as a spy saves the Cabinet ministers from a gruesome death and wins him accolades from George IV. As a reward, the king grants him a baronetcy and a much-deserved holiday at the Royal Pavilion in Brighton where he thinks to indulge in brandy, cards, good horseflesh and women. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But when Muriel, Dowager Countess of Claremont, learns of Sir Robert’s intended destination, she begs a favor<pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="grammar" data-pwa-dictionary-word="…" data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="The punctuation mark '…' may require a space after it.

<div style="text-align: center;">

Chastity lives in the shadow of her mother and sisters, dark-haired beauties men admire.

<div style="text-align: center;">
In Brighton, Robbie discovers he is being followed by friends of the conspirators who had planned to murder the Cabinet. Worse, they know the location of Chastity's residence. </div>

It's not against any formal rule for us to sleep together.<br />
It is, however, strictly forbidden to have feelings for each other.<br />
I can't do one without the other at this point. <br />
Which means I am doomed.<br />
When you don’t know who you can trust, reality distorts. It twists and oozes,
disintegrating and reformulating to meet whatever needs its masters demand.<br />
Just like me.<br />
Just like Kina.<br />
Except everything is different now that we know who we really are. <br />

Raine writes romantic suspense with hot bikers, intense undercover DEA agents,
bad boys turned good, and Special Ops heroes — and the women who love them. Meli
rode her first motorcycle when she was five years old, but she played in the
ocean long before that. She lives in New England with her family.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent;">Lauren C. Sergeant is a poet, a founding contributor for the Auburn-Opelika Moms Blog, a writer, and the author of </span><i style="background-color: transparent;">Light of Distant Suns</i><span style="background-color: transparent;">, the first book in the </span><i style="background-color: transparent;">Children of the Glaring Dawn</i><span style="background-color: transparent;"> series. Her writing career began in junior high with composing poetry, and by age 26, she started on her first novel. She has always had a passion for fiction as a means of both escape and reconnection to the world around her. Her fascination with world customs, her deep interest in personal relationships, the plethora of spellbinding stories she has read and watched, and her enthusiasm for the fantasy genre combine in wondrous ways in her engaging debut novel.

<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">At first, she thought she was just seeing things. Another appeared, and then another. Laci looked up and smiled, then closed her eyes and tilted her head back so she could catch them in her mouth as they fell. She felt like a little kid and wanted to spin around but knew her body wasn’t <pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="style" data-pwa-dictionary-word="really " data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="Readability may be enhanced by removing this" data-pwa-id="pwa-EA3F3356A89042678D9E050592505717" data-pwa-rule-id="READABILITY_2264" data-pwa-suggestions="(omit)">really </pwa>up for that.

When she opened her eyes however, the few soft snowflakes had turned into flurries, a veritable snowstorm in a few short minutes. She gasped with delight. “Let it snow!” She yelled with joy, holding out her hands and walking around in circles. It reminded her of a day, <pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="style" data-pwa-dictionary-word="not long ago" data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="Readability may be enhanced by using: recently" data-pwa-id="pwa-AAC0A6A206D7EE2833E2BF6208C361AA" data-pwa-rule-id="READABILITY_169" data-pwa-suggestions="recently">not long ago</pwa>, when she had danced in the rain and asked God to heal her cancer. </span></div>

Lexie Greene has always had such a pretty face.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately, that's where it seemed to stop. She's grown up hearing her Mother constantly remind her <pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="style" data-pwa-dictionary-word="that " data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="Readability may be enhanced by removing this" data-pwa-id="pwa-E9AA9FF6986D54B2805A56950F913368" data-pwa-rule-id="READABILITY_1888" data-pwa-suggestions="(omit)"><pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="style" data-pwa-dictionary-word="that " data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="Readability may be enhanced by removing this" data-pwa-id="pwa-E672D2EE94C0A0960B155F307389F446" data-pwa-rule-id="READABILITY_1888" data-pwa-suggestions="(omit)">that </pwa></pwa>she needs to lose weight. And twenty-two-year-old Lexie knows she's overweight.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With her younger sister's wedding on the horizon and a crush to stalk on Facebook, Lexie's had enough. She gives up her constant daydreams about food and joins a dieting group. As the pounds melt away at the gym, she finds that life on the other side of junk food isn't what she thought.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bon Bons to Yoga Pants is an inspirational hit about a girl coming to terms with herself, and her past, all while navigating a world of food and fitness.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Lexie is overweight, but her sister's wedding is coming up and she's under a lot of pressure to lose it before the wedding, especially as she's invited her Internet crush to attend as her guest. She joins the Health and Happiness Society, a group to help her meet her goals.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We go through an almost daily accounting of Lexie's trials and triumphs along the way. She learns to eat clean, exercise, and builds up a better rapport with both her family and Bradley, the Internet guy. It's inspirational as a weight-loss book with some good tips, especially for attaining the correct mental state - one should want to lose weight for themselves, not for anyone else. It's not really a romance; Bradley is really there only to show how losing weight to win him is wrong. The weird stuff with the wedding is a confusing mishmash of how he probably would have liked Lexie<pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="grammar" data-pwa-dictionary-word=" anyway" data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="Consider adding a comma before 'anyway'" data-pwa-id="pwa-ECD5F0445AA84832009A73F794044852" data-pwa-rule-id="ADVERB_COMMA" data-pwa-suggestions=", anyway"> anyway</pwa>.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is probably a good book for teens and young adults concerned with their weight. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
My world revolves around my husband (who is a major hottie), my precious kids, my Vizsla’s who act like children, and the mountains. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wear hiking boots instead of heels when I need to feel powerful, and on a bad day, I love a weightlifting workout. Actually, I love it on a good day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don’t eat bread because my thyroid doesn’t like it, although there are days I miss it. Especially ciabatta. Sweet potatoes are kind of my thing. Cookies too. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I write because I never stopped. </div>

When Sarah and her family move to a mansion in Northumberland, she doesn't expect to find ghosts. A dashing Cavalier named Fowlis Westerby has <pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done pwa-span-hovered" data-pwa-category="style" data-pwa-dictionary-word="been assigned" data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="Passive verbs make your writing less direct.

It should be a routine assignment. All he has to do is scare Sarah and her parents, but things <pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="style" data-pwa-dictionary-word="begin to " data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="Readability may be enhanced by removing this" data-pwa-id="pwa-AC6F46AB413A41F4E33FC29FB4AC1231" data-pwa-rule-id="READABILITY_931" data-pwa-suggestions="(omit)">begin to </pwa>go wrong when Sarah finds his anchor, the device that holds him to the house. And there's trouble in the ghostly plane where <pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="style" data-pwa-dictionary-word="it seems that " data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="Readability may be enhanced by removing this" data-pwa-id="pwa-13F1FFE09A3D43FB1F64B73815FA360A" data-pwa-rule-id="READABILITY_1100" data-pwa-suggestions="(omit)">it seems that </pwa>only Sarah can help Fowlis.<br />
This is a fun story for teens who like paranormal mysteries, or actually any reader who enjoys a good ghost story. The writer has a nice style. I especially liked the bits of history that <pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="style" data-pwa-dictionary-word="are thrown" data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="Passive verbs make your writing less direct.

Sarah is perfect as the inquisitive teen heroine. Fowlis and his tricks reminded me of the <pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="spelling" data-pwa-dictionary-word="Canterville" data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="Unknown word: Canterville" data-pwa-id="pwa-883A176B1D1AAE90A28BBF563DAA1CAE" data-pwa-rule-id="SIMPLE_SPELLING" data-pwa-suggestions="Centerville~Carterville">Canterville</pwa> Ghost, one of Oscar Wilde's short stories.<br />
I enjoyed reading this book and recommend it if you're looking for an entertaining read.<br />

I kill houseplants. There. Now you know one of my greatest shames. I'm not boasting. I just figure that if you're reading this, you're looking for more than how wonderful life is as a writer. You get enough of that elsewhere. Ditto for political rants, how to lose thirty pounds in a week, and creating gorgeous crafts with nothing more than twine and soup cans. My goal is to connect with you, dear reader, even if you're not a writer, not a New Yorker, not a mother, not a female. We're human (unless one of us is a <pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="spelling" data-pwa-dictionary-word="spambot" data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="Unknown word: spambot" data-pwa-id="pwa-46D31576FE0E2038904985DDEE0A81D8" data-pwa-rule-id="SIMPLE_SPELLING" data-pwa-suggestions="spam bot">spambot</pwa>), and what we have in common is <pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="grammar" data-pwa-dictionary-word="flaws" data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="Incorrect verb after 'is'" data-pwa-id="pwa-47BA5EACC156C38D3CD76AE97651D1AC" data-pwa-rule-id="PROG" data-pwa-suggestions="flawed">flaws</pwa>. So here are a few more of mine: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I sing all the time. I sing songs most people don't know<pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="grammar" data-pwa-dictionary-word="--" data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="Do you want to use an em-dash here?" data-pwa-id="pwa-41660F4963551D77A549D4A655CF58B9" data-pwa-rule-id="EM_DASH_DOUBLE" data-pwa-suggestions="—">--</pwa>jingles from television, crazy stuff I used to listen to on Dr. Demento, Broadway and movie soundtracks, and I can even bum-bum-bum through instrumental music. I sing in the car. In the shower. While I'm grocery shopping. And I <pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="spelling" data-pwa-dictionary-word="headbop" data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="Unknown word: headbop" data-pwa-id="pwa-5ECFE91F274F17AE7A0995B8055F6875" data-pwa-rule-id="SIMPLE_SPELLING" data-pwa-suggestions="headbox">headbop</pwa> while I sing. When I'm not singing, I talk to myself. Just ignore me and move on. You get used to it after a while. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't eat my vegetables. Seriously. I only started eating salad about ten years ago, but I'd still rather have a cookie. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Given the option, I would live in a mall where I would never have to worry about freezing temperatures or too much sun. I'm <pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="style" data-pwa-dictionary-word="extremely " data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="Readability may be enhanced by removing this" data-pwa-id="pwa-064043DB6386B609A4736C5B94A729D8" data-pwa-rule-id="READABILITY_2264" data-pwa-suggestions="(omit)">extremely </pwa>fair-skinned and could burn under a 60-watt light bulb. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't sleep without background noise so the television's on all night. If it's too dark and too quiet, all I have are my thoughts. And even *I* don't want to be alone with my thoughts. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't ask me to Zumba, line dance, or march in the parade. I have absolutely no rhythm. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I color outside the lines. Not because I'm a rebel, but because I suck as an artist. <pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="style" data-pwa-dictionary-word="My artistic ability is limited" data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="Passive verbs make your writing less direct.

And I don't even draw that well. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Regrets. I have more than a few. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My favorite activity is sleep, and I'm <pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="style" data-pwa-dictionary-word="pretty " data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="Readability may be enhanced by removing this" data-pwa-id="pwa-E725DC078E2F294C6192CAD3FC8A6E24" data-pwa-rule-id="READABILITY_464" data-pwa-suggestions="(omit)">pretty </pwa>good at it. I don't clock a lot of hours, but I can <pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="spelling" data-pwa-dictionary-word="powernap" data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="Unknown word: powernap" data-pwa-id="pwa-A8A2AAF8548C456C78D02FD2D93A994A" data-pwa-rule-id="SIMPLE_SPELLING" data-pwa-suggestions="power nap">powernap</pwa> like a Persian cat and rejuvenate within ten minutes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I consider shopping and dining out excellent therapy for anything wrong in my life. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My feet are always cold. <pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="grammar" data-pwa-dictionary-word="Always" data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="It is very unusual to start a sentence with 'always', except when followed by an imperative.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Coming to my house for a visit?

<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Lauren C. Sergeant is a poet, a founding contributor for the Auburn-Opelika Moms Blog, a writer, and the author of Light of Distant Suns, the first book in the Children of the Glaring Dawn series. Her writing career began in junior high with composing poetry, and by age 26, she started on her first novel. She has always had a passion for fiction as a means of both escape and reconnection to the world around her. Her fascination with world customs, her deep interest in personal relationships, the plethora of spellbinding stories she has read and watched, and her enthusiasm for the fantasy genre combine in wondrous ways in her engaging debut novel. Shaped by these influences, she creates compelling cultures and fascinating, relatable characters in lush imaginary realms.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">In her spare time, when she is not writing, you can find her curled up on the couch with a good book, whether it be fantasy, history, physics, or calculus. She lives in Opelika, Alabama with her beloved husband and dear son, though she grew up in Southern California and never imagined calling the American South home.</span></div>

This is not a normal poetry book. It is an exorcism of the soul. A poet will write about the highs and lows of their life in excruciating beautiful ways. Wrapping their pain with a ribbon to either <pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="style" data-pwa-dictionary-word="be kept" data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="Passive verbs make your writing less direct.

Bachman has gathered some of her most emotionally raw verses selected from a nineteen-year period of her life and is the first volume of complete non-fiction to date.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With bruised white knuckles, created by a humbled self-diagnosed battered and broken being on the road to healing and coping from a painful childhood. This is a display of work created to express personal struggles and surviving through periods of insomnia, moments of love, depression, anxiety, and healing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cover to cover you will read the inner workings of a reclusive introvert that has spent her lifetime trying to answer her own questions about who she is, what part she plays in life, and trying to heal from things she couldn’t. You will see into the mind of the woman known as L. Bachman through over thirty poems left up to the reader to interpret with an introduction by author KJ. Taylor. </div>

At a young age, Lynn Lesher began writing and creating digital art, unaware these things would play such a powerful role in her life. Taking upon the pen name L. Bachman, she began putting her talents to good use in her publishing career. <pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="style" data-pwa-dictionary-word="Firstly" data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="Readability may be enhanced by using: First" data-pwa-id="pwa-71E5231A0C412F99C15991DBE2E3F5B3" data-pwa-rule-id="READABILITY_795" data-pwa-suggestions="First">Firstly</pwa>, she put her skills as a digital graphic artist and in 2015 she published her first book, Maxwell Demon, introducing the world to The Blasphemer Series. A series she began developing in her youth. This led to her second release, a short story titled Human Ouija, that garnered her being listed as a bestseller and <pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="style" data-pwa-dictionary-word="went on to gain" data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="Readability may be enhanced by using: gained" data-pwa-id="pwa-B597EC06E84541155FD43E189EE574F4" data-pwa-rule-id="READABILITY_1169" data-pwa-suggestions="gained">went on to gain</pwa> awarding from “Author’s Excellence Awards” for “Best Horror Story 2017”.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She continued as a freelance graphic artist throughout her career creating a network that led to her being involved in several anthologies for charitable causes. <pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="style" data-pwa-dictionary-word="These shorter stories can still be found" data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="Passive verbs make your writing less direct.

Bachman became known for her emotional darker style, through these shorts and her novels, that some called ‘gothic<pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="style" data-pwa-dictionary-word=" in nature" data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="Readability may be enhanced by removing this" data-pwa-id="pwa-88D1773C8D2F33C7CA94FA24668B067B" data-pwa-rule-id="READABILITY_725" data-pwa-suggestions="(omit)"> in nature</pwa>’ and ‘reminisce of an older style of writing’.</div>

“Magnificent.” ~ Kathleen Foley, author of the Faith in Uniform series</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In a violent age when enemies besiege Brydein and alliances shift as swiftly as the wind, stand two remarkable leaders: the Caledonian warrior-queen <pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="spelling" data-pwa-dictionary-word="Gyanhumara" data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="Unknown word: Gyanhumara" data-pwa-id="pwa-20364AD20207F09091CEEF2D4BBBBFB4" data-pwa-rule-id="SIMPLE_SPELLING" data-pwa-suggestions="Gondomar">Gyanhumara</pwa> and her consort, Arthur the Pendragon. Their fiery love <pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="style" data-pwa-dictionary-word="is tempered" data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="Passive verbs make your writing less direct. Try to use an active verb instead." data-pwa-id="pwa-BAADECC5AA29779501765DA4F313C697" data-pwa-rule-id="PASSIVE_VOICE" data-pwa-suggestions="">is tempered</pwa> only by their conviction to forge unity between their disparate peoples. Arthur and Gyan must create an impenetrable front to protect Brydein and Caledonia from land-lusting Saxons and the marauding <pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="spelling" data-pwa-dictionary-word="Angli" data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="Unknown word: Angli" data-pwa-id="pwa-6551478EC1041ACC3F0BDDC8ED615EBF" data-pwa-rule-id="SIMPLE_SPELLING" data-pwa-suggestions="Angil~Anglo~Sangli~Anli~Aneli">Angli</pwa> raiders who may <pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="style" data-pwa-dictionary-word="be massing" data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="Readability may be enhanced by using: mass" data-pwa-id="pwa-4983F43BB9FA276A5A0CAF80CF0DBF9F" data-pwa-rule-id="READABILITY_1507" data-pwa-suggestions="mass">be massing</pwa> forces in the east, near Arthur’s sister and those he has sworn to protect.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But their biggest threat is an enemy within: Urien, Arthur’s rival and the man Gyan was treaty-bound to marry until she broke that promise for Arthur’s love. When Urien becomes chieftain of his clan, his increase in wealth and power <pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="style" data-pwa-dictionary-word="is matched" data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="Passive verbs make your writing less direct.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Morning’s Journey, sequel to the critically acclaimed <pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="spelling" data-pwa-dictionary-word="Dawnflight" data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="Unknown word: Dawnflight" data-pwa-id="pwa-EEEB55556C0C3F44467F85B6593C8F70" data-pwa-rule-id="SIMPLE_SPELLING" data-pwa-suggestions="tenfold~Daingerfield~downfield~Downfield~Tenfold">Dawnflight</pwa>, propels the reader from the heights of triumph to the depths of despair, through the struggles of some of the most fascinating characters in all of Arthurian literature. Those struggles <pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="style" data-pwa-dictionary-word="are exacerbated" data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="Passive verbs make your writing less direct.

Gyan and Arthur must learn that while extending forgiveness to others may be difficult, forgiveness of self is the most excruciating—yet ultimately the most healing—step of the entire journey. </div>

<span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif;">Woody and Eddie have been friends since high school. When they win the lottery, they finally <pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="style" data-pwa-dictionary-word="decide to " data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="Readability may be enhanced by removing this" data-pwa-id="pwa-408C3DBE9232E2A6E0385085F3A3F1A8" data-pwa-rule-id="READABILITY_835" data-pwa-suggestions="(omit)">decide to </pwa>act on their feelings for each other and travel the world.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif;">It's a cute story, but I thought it could have been a lot <pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="style" data-pwa-dictionary-word="better" data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="Use a plural noun after a plural quantifier" data-pwa-id="pwa-94B26D6B510821273F4BE6E16BBA3320" data-pwa-rule-id="READABILITY_2746" data-pwa-suggestions="wells">better</pwa>. I would have liked more backstory on their relationship and why they finally <pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="style" data-pwa-dictionary-word="decided to consummate" data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="Readability may be enhanced by using: consummated" data-pwa-id="pwa-184CB1A07BE3337B8BAA3898A1A7CF32" data-pwa-rule-id="READABILITY_682" data-pwa-suggestions="consummated">decided to consummate</pwa> the relationship. Yes, I read it and even went back over that part several times, but it seemed like they barely talked to each other <pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="style" data-pwa-dictionary-word="except when" data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="Readability may be enhanced by using: unless" data-pwa-id="pwa-4D2D7B21232D93AC019B0218831544D4" data-pwa-rule-id="READABILITY_137" data-pwa-suggestions="unless">except when</pwa> Woody went into Eddie's store to buy lottery tickets, then boom, they won a lot of money and were suddenly messing around like bunnies. Maybe it's me, but I wanted a little more romance and wanted to see more of what they were like before they won the money. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif;">The travelogue part was fine, especially in Alaska, but I felt I was still getting only a surface view of the two guys. It's a quick read, maybe too quick, because I wanted more. Maybe we'll see a sequel of their further travels and some flashbacks to their teen and young adult years. <span class="rangySelectionBoundary" id="selectionBoundary_1571610878602_9817138055392602" style="display: none; line-height: 0;"></span></span></div>

her first romance series after a crazy dream about shifters and
damsels in distress. She prefers irreverent humour and
unconventional characters. An autistic and occasional hermit, her
life wouldn’t be complete without her husband and her massive
collection of books and video games. </span>
