![]() ![]() Nash, though indecisive about what he really wanted out of life, after meeting Maddy that is, was a great character as well. In fact she really wasn’t and she spoke her mind when she had too. That didn’t mean that she was pliable and controllable. ![]() She took care of Nash after his accident, not in a motherly way, of course, but in a way that you could tell that she cared for him. ![]() When her father died she took the children in and mothered them as best she could and was doing a find job. The poor woman had gone through some horribly tough times in her life and yet she just coped. Though this wasn’t a true cottage romance but it came close enough with Nash having to stay put in the cottage for days not being able to move from the bed or leave. I love cottage romances and of course the amnesia bit of the story was good as well. The blurb pretty much describes the book so I’ll just head into my review: ![]()

While championing a cosmopolitan appreciation for the unique religious and cultural heritage of each ethnic group, they reject the cosmopolitan ideals of global community and sameness, simultaneously denying or overlooking their own positions of cultural, social, and political dominance as overwhelmingly white people. American Heathens today seem less committed to discussions of indigeneity than in previous decades, but continue to frame Heathenry as a “birthright” for those with Northern European heritage. Snook, Horrell, and Horten investigate Heathenry (Germanic reconstructionist Paganism) in an American sociohistorical context in which whiteness is inherently problematic. ![]() ![]() In Angel on the Square, a young girl joins Russian Tsar Nikolai II, Empress Alexandra, and their children when her mother becomes one of the empress's ladies-in-waiting.

The 41st Street Playhouse in Santa Cruz, CA, where I first saw THE COLOR PURPLE at a sneak preview heavily attended by local women, is a UA theater, and before each show an animated trailer invites us to escape to the movies.

In which we meet Hazel and Daisy at Deepdean and see them solve Miss Bell’s murder. I won’t do a full review of them all, but in place of a WWW Wednesday this week, I’ll give a brief rundown and my (hopefully spoiler free) thoughts on the series overall (basically I love it). I really enjoyed it and made the decision to go back and read the whole series in order…and then everything else (new books, life, having a baby) took over and its only in the last couple of months I’ve managed to do it by using the ebooks on my phone in the evenings whilst settling Peapod. ![]() Way back at the start of 2018 I was sent a copy of A Spoonful of Murder from the publishers to read and review. I can’t take a picture of my copies YET as I bought/borrowed them as ebooks to read during evenings/nights getting Peapod back to sleep! But the first and last have sprayed edges now, so I’m hoping this is in the pipeline for all of them and will be buying them all as they come out like that! ![]() ![]() ![]() To learn more about how and for what purposes Amazon uses personal information (such as Amazon Store order history), please visit our Privacy Notice.
