I love Ann Patchett and really enjoyed this short, easy read. While based on Patchett's Sarah Lawrence commencement address, it certainly resonated with me, someone who graduated from college 25+ years ago. The generic photos in the book and cheesy "self help"-ish production, on the other hand, were detractions. Clearly it's being marketed as a "graduation gift" item. It deserves to be much more.

It's a great book about being depressed and being down and then thing happening for the better when you wouldn't think so and making the best out of the worse. Which I read half of this in the hospital waiting for my grandfather to get out of is surgry and made me think that it will get better, if it says anything I read this within two days.

Originally posted on The Librarian Next Door: Life has changed irrevocably for dhampir Rose Hathaway. A brutal Strigoi attack on her school has left many dead – and forced the man she loved into a worse fate. Mourning the loss of the Dimitri she knew and determined to carry out one last task, Rose leaves the shattered safety of the only home she has known and heads blindly into Siberia. Once she arrives, surprises pop up at every turn – from her first encounters with the mysterious Alchemists and her unexpected introduction to Dimitri’s family to her interactions with the charming (and threatening) Abe Mazur and her emotional and dangerous “reunion” with Dimitri himself. But while Rose’s impulses have served her well in the past, this time she may be in over her head – because the task she’s determined to accomplish might also end up killing her. Richelle Mead’s Blood Promise is filled with surprises, twists and turns as the mysteries of Rose’s world deepen and new characters bring new complications. I’m constantly impressed with the depth and development Mead has brought to her dhampir/Moroi/Strigoi world, especially now that the story has expanded beyond the walls of St. Vladimir’s and grown to include the larger world. It was as fascinating for the reader as it was for Rose to see how her kind live in other places. You begin to see the issues of the Moroi world in a new light – the politics are increasingly complicated and nuanced, forcing Rose (and the reader) to figure out what she really believes. In spite of all of her obvious flaws, Rose is still such an easy character to love and I really liked how the events in Blood Promise gave her the chance to consider who she really is. She’s always been reckless and impulsive, but for the first time, you see her start to question her actions and their consequences. Her time in Siberia – and her own behavior there – forces her reconsider some long-held opinions. Though Rose is, by her own society’s rules, still untested as a Guardian, in many ways, Blood Promise is her trial by fire. One of the most surprising parts of the novel was Dimitri as a Strigoi. Like Rose, I’m not exactly sure what I expected, but I definitely think things managed to stay unpredictable. The brilliant and chilling part was the fact that Evil Dimitri wasn’t over-the-top or ridiculous – he retained enough of himself to remind readers – and Rose – of who he was while still being completely creepy and sinister. I give a lot of credit to Mead for taking a beloved character and completely changing him, turning him into (essentially) the villain of the story. She doesn’t just stick with the easy choices or clean, neat resolutions. She keeps pushing the story and the characters forward, even when it seems like that’s the last thing they want to do. I will admit that I’m not crazy about the Lissa and Avery sub-plot. I do understand the increased emphasis on Rose and Lissa’s bond, as well as the powers of Spirit, but the back-and-forths between Rose in Russia and her visions of the school were a bit jarring and slowed the story down. I’m not sure what purpose Avery and her story filled, nor do I think it added to the overall arc of the series. I also wish the thread about the Queen’s manipulations had been expanded a bit more – I feel like that plot line got dropped somewhere in the middle of the story (though, I suppose, with two more books still left, I’ll just have to have patience). I did, however, love the images of Lissa and Adrian figuring out how to defend themselves. It was a nice moment of levity in an otherwise emotional book. I feel like I’m running out of positive superlatives to describe Richelle Mead and her Vampire Academy series. Blood Promise heightens the action, the emotions and the consequences of an increasingly complex world. It’s an exciting and thrilling story that builds up the mystery and leaves you wanting more. Highly recommend.

During: While reading this book I found it was really slow and hard to get through. I didn't like how the author traveled to different places and just tried to start from scratch. I also find it interesting that when Barbara reveals who she really is, her employees seemed not interested and like they didn't care at all. After: I didn't like the ending to this book. I felt like she kind of gave up on her job because she was tired of it and just left. One thing I did like was how she wanted to form a Union, although no one else was interested.

Ha Jin's prose is spare and razor-precise. It hits the mark emotionally, but in such a clean, un-melodramatic way. Very difficult to pull off, considering he's writing about war. War Trash is about the human drama of Chinese POW's during the Korean War, a forgotten story, but much-deserving of commemoration. For a student of Chinese history, this book puts a human face to the Chinese tragedy of the Korean War, how individual lives were tossed about by politics and pride. It's infuriating and tragic, but also inevitable.

This is the complete story of Aminata Diallo from her years as a young girl much loved, cherished and intellectually nourished by her parents in an African village in the 1740s. As a young girl she helps her mom who works as a midwife within her village and neighboring villages. She is captured, marched by slave traders to the coast and makes the voyage to Sullivans's Island, South Carolina. Even as a child during this time she seems to be an old soul making her skills and intelligence so important to the slave traders, the slave owners, and her fellow slaves. She works as a midwife, she easily learns new languages, she learns to read, she teaches others to read, she escapes, she travels, she survives! When the book begins she is in London working with abolitionists and is obviously writing a book of her life - which is supposed to be this book. And her life is filled with love and heartbreak, cruelty and kindness, opportunities found and opportunities lost, but she never gives up or gives in. She is determined to live in freedom and uses her wits to find her way to that freedom and to keep it. This is definitely a compelling story of slavery and one that I would highly recommend!

I haven't read any of the other books in this series, and after reading this one I definitely won't! I found the characters to be so flat and silly, with no complexity at all, that they were more like "charactures." I am 50 something and I would hope that those of us in this age group have more depth and brains than the author has given these women. I wouldn't be able to stand a group of women like this!

Despite its popularity I put off reading it because it sounded too preposterous. However, willing suspension of disbelief, it was a beautiful book about life and love and the nature of time. While I really enjoyed the book, I have no desire to see the movie because I doubt it could capture the elements that made it so meaningful because it was all the unspoken things that made it profound.
