It's been a while since I read the book. It was never a comfortable read, there was an underlying sense of cowardice that couldn't be shaken. A good book but I don't know if I'd read it again.

This was my favorite of the entire series! I've always loved Ginny's character, so it was fun to see her figure prominently in the plot. It was also great to see Harry grow a bit out of his "Woe is me!" phase. (I threw Book 5 across the room in frustration during my first reading...) The overall plot arc of the series made significant advances in this novel as well. 6th in a series of 7 novels.

Amazing book, loved the way a personal story was situated in the historical context. All the characters are so believable and its great seeing such a 3D child narrator. I read it for the first time when I was quite young, then again in year 10, and studying the book in year 11 was good. However, re-studying it in year 11 just ruined it for me. I really think the way we go into books again and again in school kills it. I really identify with the character Scout, she is so likeable and naive and innocent...loves the scene when she breaks up the lynch mob outside the jail and the way she treats Boo Radley. Film Adaption with Gregory Peck as Atticus is just awesome!

The Lady Actress is a well-researched analysis of the writings, orations, and dramatic performances of Victorian Era actress Anna Cora Mowatt (1819-1870). The author skillfully places this under-appreciated trail blazer's life and works within the sexist and repressive period in which Mowatt lived. The result is a concise presentation of Victorian Era judgement and nuance and the amazing ability Mowatt had for turning these apparent limitations into strengths in order to pursue her craft.

This was such a wonderful story with endearing characters. You felt so much for this family. No one was perfect which I loved. Such a talented writer. I can't wait to read more of her work.

The stories were amusing and the author clearly has a sense of humor, but I had a hard time relating to her.

Reviewed for queuemyreview.com; book release Nov08 I never expected “Pale Moon Stalker” to be a western romance. Since westerns aren’t one of my favored genres, I left it towards the end of my TBR stack. Imagine my surprise when it was both a western AND a historical AND had a touch of the paranormal about it; yeah, kinda blew my mind. I even finished the book in one read and enjoyed it! Just goes to show, there’s always something new and different and it’s good to occasionally venture outside your normal reading habits. Sky is a woman on a mission. She intends to kill the man who killed her husband, but she can’t do it herself. Her preacher husband knew her well and made her promise not to kill his murderer. Of course, Sky is also half Native American so she quickly finds a way to keep her promise…while still enacting her justice. She’ll find someone ELSE to kill FOR her. She selects none other than ‘the Limey’, as famous for his ability to hunt down outlaws as he is for his crisp British accent. But Sky never counted on developing feelings for this Limey, just as she never really counted on living past her justice. Max is a bounty hunter extraordinaire. So how this native woman got the drop on him he’ll never know. She wants him to kill a man and it’s a man he wants to kill so there really shouldn’t be a problem. Except now Max must marry in order to maintain his inheritance in England and he doesn’t really have any prospects in mind. So he strikes a deal with Sky. They’ll marry, go to England, secure his inheritance, and return to kill Sky’s first husband’s murderer. But neither of them could guess just this ‘deal’ would change their lives. As I said, westerns aren’t my cuppa tea, but this one did manage to maintain my interest and keep me reading til the end. The story crosses two continents, touches on a third, and has several ‘side stories’; yet they all manage to come together into one cohesive whole. Pretty tricky that. The lead characters were irritating at times, but not enough to make me stop reading. The feelings and reasoning behind their decisions and actions mostly made sense, and the heat level wasn’t bad either! While I’m not going to become a fan of western romances (and I wish I could tell you why, but they just don’t feel ‘right’ to me), I’m also not sorry I read this engrossing story by Shirl Henke. For western romance fans, I’d suggest you check out not just “Pale Moon Stalker”, but Henke’s back list too. Her writing and story weaving is too good to pass up.
Chapter 1 is a near-perfect short story; I don't really see that there needed to be a novel. In later chapters there are, eventually, some bits that hint at the interesting problem of traveling from planet to planet convincing people that their god/emperor is dead and they have to be free. But that's not what the novel is really about. The payoff on the hair-carpet mystery really isn't nearly itneresting enough; it's like a monster that's only scary when you can't see it.

After reading "Julie of the Wolves," I got hooked on her books! I'd like to re-read it as an adult.
