![]() ![]() ![]() This story was a retelling of Hosea and Gomers story in the Old Testament and Francine did justice to it. This book was a blessing to me and I’m glad I read it at this time. This book was the book clubs read for September and it was so amazing, so many quotes to share with you, so many lessons, so much gifts in one book. I have had Redeeming Love since forever and I had heard of Francines’ works too, I didn’t want to read them I don’t know why I guess I just read as my heart decides. Redeeming Love was nothing short of beautiful, gut wrenching, amazing, engaging, emotional, sad and thoughts inducing. I had previously read Karen’s works and they were great, kept me reading through the night and as usual made me cry a bucket load of tears too, made me reflect on my spiritual life and all that, I specially kept some of her works for times when I need reassurances from God.įrancine Rivers is now in this special box. I have heard of Francine Rivers, Karen Kingsbury and so many others. ![]()

![]() ![]() Don't waste your time on this one, I felt like ripping my hair out on several occasions. Marian Keyes is the international bestselling author of Watermelon, Lucy Sullivan is Getting Married, Rachel's Holiday, Last Chance Saloon, Sushi for Beginners, Angels, The Other Side of the Story, Anybody Out There, This Charming Man, The Brightest Star in the Sky, The Mystery of Mercy Close, The Woman Who Stole My Life, The Break and her latest Number One bestseller, Grown Ups. Absolutely no surprises along the way either, it is blatantly obvious who Lucy will end up with from the moment he's introduced, and every other plot point is predictable and cloying. : Lucy Sullivan Is Getting Married: 9780380796106: Keyes, Marian: Books. ![]() I really have trouble believing this is written by the same author as Last Chance Saloon and Sushi for Beginners, as this book is just riddled with horrible characters, tedious dialogue and a plot that is shallow at best. The protagonist, Lucy, is whiny, obnoxious and very faux-modest, and the dialogue is often either stilted or irritating ( take for example the constant need to address a person by name at the beginning or end of EVERY SINGLE SENTENCE.) The narrator definitely didn't help, as she had none of the charm usually possessed by Marian Keyes' narrators, and managed to make everyone sound even more entitled and awful.

The key elements of the plot seemed transparent to me early on, so I enjoyed this as a relaxing read, full of detailed descriptions of a horse breeding and racing household in post-WWII England. Where is a very clever mental exercise, is a clever tale of a scam that encounters unanticipated wrinkles. I found to be similar to, not just in Tey's writing style, but also in that they aren't straightforward crime novels. ![]() ![]() ![]() While you won’t find too many comics writers, including Gaiman, using that phrase much, given how it smells faintly of pomposity, what is undeniably true is that The Sandman was more responsible than most in creating the adult, non-superhero comic. It’s the series that changed comics forever, fuelling the rise of its more highbrow cousin, the graphic novel. The epic story of Dream of the Endless is quite certainly what made Gaiman a household name. What separates Gaiman from King, though, is that he also writes comics-and is the writer of perhaps the greatest of them all, The Sandman. His short story collections are even more varied. His novels, like Coraline, Neverwhere and American Gods, are genre-hopping classics, straddling horror, speculative fiction and fantasy. That makes sense, since Gaiman, somewhat like Stephen King, is an extremely prolific writer. ![]() “One reason that people don’t necessarily read my books is because they don’t know where to start, and all of the books and all of the stories are very different,” he says. Comprising many of his short stories as well as some novel extracts, the Reader makes for a good introduction. Published in early October by HarperCollins, the book contains 52 pieces from Gaiman’s large and varied body of fiction over 30 years. He’s talking about The Neil Gaiman Reader. “I am one of those people, more people know who I am than have read my books,” says Neil Gaiman over the phone from his home in the Isle of Skye in Scotland. ![]() ![]() Master Luke is a fantasy, dominant and sexy, charismatic and passionate.
