Happiness
Happiness: The Crooked Little Road to Semi-Ever After
by Heather Harpham
Happiness (7/3/2017)
Heather is a parent with a passion for her child from the moment she was born. There are many ways a family can be built, not necessarily by marriage. Brian, the father, didn't want to marry, but he soon became attached to the baby too. The baby had a lot of health problems, but both parents were there for her, and they lived happily ever after without getting married.
Castle of Water
Castle of Water: A Novel
by Dane Huckelbridge
Castle of Water (1/11/2017)
Very good book.There was a solution for every situation. The story takes place on a remote island in the south pacific after a plane crash. Two survivors, Sophie and Barry, must get along if they are to survive; they do, and they fall in love. They face many perilous situations but get through them. There is a surprise ending.

the return of the witch (1/7/2016)
i really enjoyed this book even though I don't usually like supernatural . The author was able to combine geography, history, romance and the supernatural. All in one story which made for an exciting book. Paula Brackston is now one of my favorite authors. I also enjoyed her book Lamp Black Wolf Grey

lamp black (7/11/2015)
This is now one of my favorite books. I really liked the way the author was able to combine King Arthur's times with modern day and trials and tribulations all the way through. Dan and Laura needed a change so she can paint with more inspiration. They move to the mountains to a 300 year old house and a castle; then the adventure begins. A very good plot and amazing how the author combined modern with King Arthur.
A Passion for Paris
A Passion for Paris: Romanticism and Romance in the City of Light
by David Downie
A trip to Paris (4/21/2015)
it is a travelogue and history combined. It mentions famous people including Victor Hugo, George Sand, Nadar, Balzac and their escapades. Also has photos which adds realism. It is about the literature, art, and music of the romantic age. My daughter took 3 years of French in high school and is very excited about reading this book.
The Book of Strange New Things
The Book of Strange New Things: A Novel
by Michel Faber
strange things (8/24/2014)
I couldn't get interested in this book. To me it didn't really have a plot; I couldn't figure out if it was suppose to be religious or informative.
The Last Enchantments
The Last Enchantments
by Charles Finch
last enchanments (11/25/2013)
I didn't like this book. There wasn't any excitement or plot, just mostly descriptions of Oxford's campus. I was disappointed.
Amy Falls Down

Now I know what writers go through. They are like the rest of us as far as everyday living, and things that happen accidentally and otherwise. I felt like I was reading someone's diary. There really wasn't any plot, but maybe there wasn't suppose to be. It was funny, and a good book to just sit down and read for fun.
The Good Luck Girls of Shipwreck Lane
The Good Luck Girls of Shipwreck Lane
by Kelly Harms
shipwrecked (5/30/2013)
It was very confusing. even though each chapter was titled I still had trouble figuring out who was talking. Also it never went anywhere not much action or adventure and all they did was cook and make bread. I didn't like the book.
