The earthy scent of grass beneath Barnabe’s heavy hooves. It doesn’t forget the fields of Julep Ranch under the watercolor sky. I recommend this if you are ready for an emotional rollercoaster. About Pam Godwin The terrain of childhood shapes the soul, and the soul never forgets. Sex scenes are descriptive and describe feelings as well as activity. This is an excellent story written extremely well. It’s a really good book and the narration really was right on cue. There is an event, a breakup, parent with no compassion, a reawakening of strength, a reunion, a great enduring love, a big mystery solved on why events happened the way they did (I did Not see it coming). I literally cried (cried!) through three chapters. There is a very difficult scene that I quite frankly had to skip and come back to later. What happened next could very easily cause triggers to flip in some people. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Other Books by Pam Godwin Buckled Chapter 1 Playlist Other Books by Pam Godwin.

This was very well written and further enhanced by excellent narration.

But they are also loyal and intensely aware of their surroundings. They are deeply emotional animals, quick to show anger and frustration, and can hold a grudge for years. Over the next few years, Sy spent more time with these magnificent creatures, getting to know their extraordinary abilities and instincts. From the first moment Jazz swept down from a tree and landed on Sy's leather gloved fist, Sy fell under the hawk's magnetic spell. Not a pet, Jazz was a fierce predator with talons that could pierce skin and bone and yet, she was willing to work with a human to hunt. Nancy allowed her to work with Jazz, a feisty, four-year-old, female Harris's hawk with a wingspan of more than four feet. When Sy Montgomery went to spend a day at falconer Nancy Cowan's farm, home to a dozen magnificent birds of prey, it was the start of a deep love affair. A splendid and luminous celebration of one of nature's most perfect and mysterious creatures – the hawk – from the New York Times bestselling author of the "astoundingly beautiful" (NPR) The Soul of an Octopus. He taught at a prep school, he made money from publishing some of his stories, and Wendy did typing part time - all good enough to where the couple could put money away each month. Jack Torrance, his wife Wendy and their son Danny used to have a good life. So if your understanding of things comes from that film, you might be a little lost. More on that later.īefore I try to offer up a synopsis here, let me say this: if you're considering reading Doctor Sleep, the references back to events in The Shining come from the original book - which is not at all the same as the movie made by Stanley Kubrick. To be frank, I liked both books to be even more truthful, I fell in love with The Shining all over again and found Doctor Sleep to be fun and often suspenseful but not nearly as intense as its predecessor. The Shining is a classic horror read, while the latest book by Stephen King, Doctor Sleep, hones in on the kid from The Shining, Danny Torrance, picking up his story again as a young man. I hadn't planned on reading The Shining again (it made for some freakishly-great entertainment years ago), but because Doctor Sleep builds on Danny's (now Dan) experiences at the Overlook, I decided to reread The Shining before I started the new one. Hardcover (first doubleday book club edition)Ĭontinuing on in my month of spooky reads in honor of Halloween, I now come to two books written by the same author. 5/27/2023 0 Comments A good yarn by debbie macomber©2005 Debbie Macomber (P)2005 HarperCollins Publishers, Inc.ĭebbie Macomber is a #1 New York Times bestselling author and one of today’s most popular writers with more than 200 million copies of her books in print worldwide.

Living with her daughter, Aurora, Elise learns that her onetime husband plans to visit and that Aurora wants a relationship with her father, regardless of how Elise feels about him.īethanne Hamlin is facing the fallout from a divorce and joins the knitting class as the first step in her effort to recover a sense of dignity and hope.Ĭourtney Pulanski is a depressed and overweight teenager. But when Brad's ex-wife reappears, Lydia is suddenly afraid to trust her newfound happiness.Įlise Beaumont joins one of Lydia's popular knitting classes. In the year since it opened, 'A Good Yarn' has thrived and so has Lydia Hoffman, the owner. You might have heard about a wonderful little yarn shop in downtown Seattle. But the night before the wedding she takes shelter from a thunderstorm only to fall prey to the seduction of a handsome blockade-runner named Ramon Cazenave, who is happy to take the innocence of the woman promised to the son of the man who stole his family’s home. The story begins in 1863, two years into the Civil War, as Lorna Forrester is forced to marry a moron to clear up her uncle’s debt. And it’s the story of an unlikely meeting that led to a legacy of love. It’s a wonderful story of the blockade runners who risked their lives to supply the Confederacy during the Civil War. Like many of her early ones, this one is written from the heroine’s perspective, making the hero that much more mysterious. They are so well written with lots of sexual tension and wonderful heroes and heroines. I should just say at the outset that I love Jennifer Blake’s historical romances. 5/26/2023 0 Comments The Bat-Poet by Randall JarrellThe Bat-Poet seeks a new audience among other creatures of the woods. With pen-and-ink drawings by Maurice Sendak, the 42-page book for readers aged seven and older (and younger ones, for reading aloud) is the story of a bat who likes to make poems that, well, the other bats just don't get. Jarrell's children's books were The Gingerbread Rabbit, The Animal Family, Fly by Night, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and The Bat-Poet, which I am currently reading aloud to my son. One wishes there had been dozens more such books, but because they are so few and so unique, they are all the more rare. Though his writing for children spanned only a few years and a handful of works before his untimely death.Jarrell left classic works for children that are distinguished by their numinous poetry, their imaginative energy, and their transcendent vision. But in The Essential Guide to Children's Books and Their Creators, edited by Anita Silvey, John O. In addition to poetry, criticism, and novels ( Pictures at an Institution among them), Jarrell also wrote books for children, a fact that goes unmentioned at those books are not even listed in the bibliography there. Highly regarded as a peerless literary essayist, and was considered the mostĪstute (and most feared) poetry critic of his generation. Over at, you can read in Jarrell's profile, I also own and occasionally dip into No Other Book: Selected Essays. Over the years I've read a bit about the poet Randall Jarrell (1914-1965), and recall loving his letters, which were published back in the eighties (and re-issued in 2002). 5/26/2023 0 Comments Chaos theory gleickUnfortunately, as with most things in mathematics, it is never quite that simple. This means that given a very small change to a system, we can achieve wildly different outcomes. The flap of a butterfly’s wings in Brazil can set off a tornado in Texas The definition given in most pop culture media is the butterfly effect: In Gleick’s book Chaos, the author interviewed a whole bunch of chaos scientists (chaosists?) and not one of them could agree on a definition of chaos. Not because of the choice of axioms or some of the results, but due to the fact that no-one can agree what chaos actually means. Why the Butterfly Effect is not the whole storyĬhaos theory is potentially one of the most controversial fields in mathematics. 5/26/2023 0 Comments Vasily mahanenko survival quest 8I listened to both the first book and this book in secession and I must say that I was greatly surprised by how well the story has turned out. Never thought an MMO would make such a good book The narrator four stars even though I thought a more intense reading would have given this story a completely different experience he did a credible job. I’m giving the story four stars only because the ending seemed rushed and it is not complete. The same thing happened in the “Play to Live Series,” by D Rus another LITRPG series that I like and Audible listeners are left hanging waiting on the completion. Having said all of that I like the series so far, although it is not complete and I don’t see Audible or Amazon offering the third book yet. It’s just, in my opinion his tone made the story seem more juvenile and not the intense adventure I had read in the first book. I realize this is a LITRPG genre series and therefore probably should be a little lighthearted and its not that the narrator, Johnathan Yen, did a bad job, in fact he was very credible giving each character their own voice. I had read the first book, “Survivor Quest,” in the “Way of the Shaman,” series but decided to listen to the second book “The Karloss Gambit, on Audible reading the first book without the influence of a narrator made the story seem somewhat more intense. 5/26/2023 0 Comments The White Devil by Justin EvansAndrew begins to discover uncanny links between himself and the renowned poet. When the school's poet-in-residence, Piers Fawkes, is commissioned to write a play about Byron, one of Harrow's most famous alumni, he casts Andrew in the title role. Either Andrew is losing his mind, or the house legend about his dormitory being haunted is true. And there is the pale, strange boy who begins to visit him at night.
