The Players and the Played

January 14, 2014 by Sara_Tonin00 Leave a Comment

Morality Play is another jewelbox novel - sparse, elegant, compact. There is a simplicity and a brevity to the story - it takes place over two weeks - that could feel insufficient, but doesn't. This could be a longer book, but the sketchbook quality of it fits the time and story. The story is … [Read more]

Anotterchaos #2: Dollars to Duchesses

January 14, 2014 by anotterchaos 1 Comment

Supposedly the book that inspired Julian Fellowes to create the character of Cora, Countess of Grantham, this book explores the late 19th/early 20th century phenomenon of American women taking their fortunes to England to husband-hunt. An interesting, if not riveting, read. … [Read more]

Drama without Passion

January 13, 2014 by Valyruh Leave a Comment

  This is a fairly well-written but slow-paced story that takes place in the tiny town of Witless Bay, Newfoundland, surrounding a handful of colorful characters who struggle to make sense of their lives with relatively little connection to the outside world. Touches of magical realism … [Read more]

Badkittyuno’s Review #4: The Spectacular Now by Tim Tharp

January 13, 2014 by badkittyuno 2 Comments

My sister and I have very similar taste in books, and we share quite a bit -- especially memoirs by funny chicks and YA. In fact, she's on CBR this year, so you'll probably notice that we review many of the same books. We are going to have to agree to disagree on this one, however, because she loved … [Read more]
