For her to back off-you know, just give me some space.” Six years after their meeting, Bryce is something of a judgmental priss (just like his father), and Juli is full of passion and enthusiasm for life. It’s his eyes.” As far as Bryce is concerned, the feeling is definitely not mutual: “All I’ve ever wanted is for Juli Baker to leave me alone. Honestly, one look at him and I became a lunatic. ![]() For Juli, it is love at first sight: “The day I first met Bryce Loski, I flipped. ![]() When Bryce and Julianna (Juli) meet, they are both seven and Bryce has just moved in across the street. Proof that the course of pubescent love never runs smooth. ![]() ![]() ![]() We meet her just as she has become the widow of Daniel Custis and follow along in her journey with George and the birth of the United States. It “details” the life of Martha Washington, wife of our country’s first president. Washington’s Lady is the third in Moser’s “Women of History” series. This was the first book by Nancy Moser that I have had the opportunity to read and, I assure you, it will not be the last. ![]() She blogs about books regularly at Reading to Know. I reviewed another of Nancy Moser’s historical novels, Just Jane, in a column here last fall, and it’s still stands out as one of the favorite books I’ve read this year.Ĭarrie comes by her book obsession honestly, having descended from a long line of bibliophiles. This is a perfect time to showcase one of our new writers.

After all, Gareth is a cat, and no one could be more important than that. ![]() It is obvious that Jason is only a bystander. Jason and Gareth go sightseeing, as it were, to these places. This book has an interesting format: There are nine stories, all of which are about different periods in history, at different places in the world. His boy is called Jason, and Jason believes that his cat can do anything in the world. These lives are scattered throughout history, from ancient Egypt to Peru to the Isle of Man, where sea cats are considered extraordinarily good luck for a fisherman. ![]() A regular, ordinary cat, who just happens to have nine lives. ![]() But I will certainly try, since it's been one of my favorite books since I read it at the age of eight. I love this book so much, and I am sure that I cannot write a review that does it justice. Review by Emily, high school student and bibliophile Full of fun, excitement, and a good dose of history, here's a fantastic tale that grabs the imagination and takes it far and wide, on the adventure of not one but nine amazing lifetimes. From ancient Egypt to Japan, the land of young Leonardo da Vinci to the town of a woman accused of witchcraft, Jason and Gareth are whisked from place to place and friend to foe. And in the wink of a very special cat's eye, they're off. For another, he's got the power to travel through time - 'Anywhere, any time, any country, any century,' Gareth tells Jason. ![]() ![]() The strength such women showed stemmed from their refusal to bow to immoral temptation or worldly concerns their narrative power was the power of saying “no” to a potential conflict resolution ― a seduction, a marriage proposal ― and forcing those around them to bend to their moral or personal certitude. This Cinderella was merely of a different generation, a heroine in the vein of Samuel Richardson’s Pamela and Jane Austen’s Anne Elliot and Elinor Dashwood. But Cinderella was such a character herself, suffering hard labor and loneliness in the name of showing her virtue, humility and warm heart, which would make her ultimate triumph emotionally satisfying. “ all throw up suffering and see what our characters are made of,” pointed out Carson Levine. Returning to the land and many of the characters from her beloved Newbery Honorwinning Ella Enchanted, Gail Carson Levine has written a delightful tale. ![]() Gone are the days of heroines who sleep through most of the story or wait silently for other characters to move the plot forward ― but stories have certainly been told about such women. ![]() For the reader, at least modern readers, it definitely makes for more engaging reading. ![]() ![]() ![]() Graces, truths, and beauties of brutality. This is fifty years of my sights and seens, felts and figured-outs, cools and shamefuls. I found a reliable theme, an approach to living that gave me more satisfaction, at the time, and still: If you know how, and when, to deal with life's challenges - how to get relative with the inevitable - you can enjoy a state of success I call 'catching greenlights.'So I took a one-way ticket to the desert and wrote this book: an album, a record, a story of my life so far. I found stories I experienced, lessons I learned and forgot, poems, prayers, prescriptions, beliefs about what matters, some great photographs, and a whole bunch of bumper stickers. Recently, I worked up the courage to sit down with those diaries. Notes about successes and failures, joys and sorrows, things that made me marvel, and things that made me laugh out loud. I've been in this life for fifty years, been trying to work out its riddle for forty-two, and been keeping diaries of clues to that riddle for the last thirty-five. From the Academy Award-winning actor, an unconventional memoir filled with raucous stories, outlaw wisdom, and lessons learned the hard way about living with greater satisfaction. ![]() |
