http://punnery.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Get Thee to a Punnery! Finally somewhere for me to discuss books (aren't you lucky? Tuesday, June 9, 2009. Book Review: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I realize that The Hunger Games. By Suzanne Collins has been reviewed by nearly every single book blogger on Blogspot, but I felt the need to toss my hat into the ring anyway. Better late than never, right? So I had to wait patiently while the sixty-three people in front of me in the hold list read the book. I'm glad I did. If you catch my drift.

Get Thee to a Punnery! Finally somewhere for me to discuss books (aren't you lucky? Monday, May 11, 2009. Book Review: The Beekeeper's Apprentice by Laurie R. King. I'll be honest, I had a hard time writing this review. Not because the book is bad. On the contrary, I found this book so wonderful, I passed it onto my mother. The reason I'm finding it hard to write a review is because it's so hard to for me to. It There's so much that I want to tell you about The Beekeeper's Apprentice. The story begins wi...

Get Thee to a Punnery!: Book Review: The Sandman Vol. 1: Preludes and Nocturnes by Neil Gaiman

Get Thee to a Punnery! Finally somewhere for me to discuss books (aren't you lucky? Tuesday, May 12, 2009. Book Review: The Sandman Vol. 1: Preludes and Nocturnes by Neil Gaiman. I'm not really sure why, but it's taken me years to finally read a book by Neil Gaiman. Yes, I've heard lots of things about him, and they've all been good things. He sounds like he would be right up my alley: dark, brooding stories about mysterious people in interesting and (sometimes) made-up lands. To read Pratchett, but I.

Medieval Challenge: CREDO - by Melvyn Bragg
http://medievalchallenge.blogspot.com/2009/02/credo-by-melvyn-bragg.html
Wednesday, 25 February 2009. CREDO - by Melvyn Bragg. My last book read for the challenge and it was a struggle. Skipped quite a lot of pages, maybe because I was not in the right frame of mind at the time. The story was very heavy on the religious theme which I felt could have been softened a bit. Maybe down the track I could try again. I had bought this book many years ago and was looking forward to reading it, mainly as it covers early Irish history etc. Oh well, there is always another time. Good lis...

Monday, 15 December 2008. Medieval artist Giotto's Christmas scene in the Capella degli Scrovegni, Padova, Italy. Tuesday, 9 December 2008. Death Comes As Epiphany - Sharan Newman. There were several things attractive to me in this book, it’s a medieval, it’s a mystery and it features Abelard and Heloise as secondary characters. I was looking forward to see how Newman would develop the story and I wasn’t disappointed. Monday, 8 December 2008. THE LANTERN BEARERS by Rosemary Sutcliff. I do not read many m...

Medieval Challenge: Shields of Pride by Elizabeth Chadwick
http://medievalchallenge.blogspot.com/2009/02/shields-of-pride-by-elizabeth-chadwick.html
Saturday, 7 February 2009. Shields of Pride by Elizabeth Chadwick. I have to confess that my favorite character is Joscelin. He is truly a wonderful, honest and strong man. There's some shades of gray here and there which makes him even more charismatic and the way he treats Linnet and her son is truly heartwarming. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
