I LOVE this book. It has the alphabet, and sounds, and punctuation and public service information. It is awesome and gross.

So, I wanted to give this a three, but I was left wicked confused by the end.

This is a fun read that is largely free of the more annoying tropes and clichés that can plague the historical romance shelf. The heroine, Eloise Goodwin, has escaped a scandalous past by leaving her small village behind and becoming a companion in London. Her charge is troublesome and beautiful and an unrepentant trollop (as young charges are wont to be), which forces the heroine into the company of Drake, one of the infamous Boscastle brothers. These circumstances allow two people from different circles to stay connected without feeling contrived or forced. Both the hero and heroine are realistic, mature people who don’t engage in unnecessary theatrics or drama. I like that they acknowledge their attraction to each other early on and don’t mind acting on it, and there isn’t a lot of needless guilt or shame about it. **SPOILER ALERT** I also appreciate that Eloise is not offended by Boscastle’s offer to make her his mistress. Most heroines would faint in outrage, but Eloise is a young, poor woman with no connections. She’s sensible, so when a man who makes her happy offers to make her happy in an official capacity, and give her a house to boot, she sees the value in his proposal. It was quite refreshing. Of course, Eloise does not become Boscastle’s mistress – what sort of happy ending after would that be? – but I dearly enjoyed seeing a rake’s journey from unrepentant sinner to devoted lover. I didn’t give this book more stars because while it was good, and I’ve returned to read it a second time, the spark between the main characters was not quite bright enough to make it “great.” Sensibleness makes for a believable heroine, but maybe it took away from some of the tension for me. I will definitely look at more of Hunter’s work, and look forward to reading about more Boscastles.

Buy the most current translation. Goodreads isn't pulling the most current for some reason

Delving into Chabon's Sitka, not knowing or ever having heard about the discussed possibility of establishing an Alaskan refuge for European Jews in the late 1940's, I took the set up as factual, or rather, I didn't think to question the veracity or historicity of it. Historically accurate it is as a concept, but not an actuality. Silly me. It made for a rather fun discovery, melded with sheepishness at having been so obtuse, as Chabon started to fully develop his little slice of northerly Yiddish-dom, and after a few complex political and geographical explanations I finally cottoned on to his brilliance. Chabon crafts a fully realized world, replete with the weight of sixty years of alternate history. This story fails to neatly slide into a genre; a work of pulpish detective fiction, toying with alternate history, deftly interweaving literary quality without pomposity, marked by an imagined and entrenched Yiddish culture, Chabon makes it all work. His writing is biting and witty and deceptively simple, adeptly managing to at once embody the very human and flawed focal point of his Detective Meyer Landsman, while also composing harsh yet beautiful language like the cold climes of his setting. It made me envious. Falling out of a window has never been so freaking funny nor linguistically gorgeous. Chabon packs so much characterization, detail, plot, wit into this novel that it should really have taken me longer to listen to the whole thing, and I know it would benefit from a second reading. I cannot even begin to do justice to the multitudinous strands of story and character that he writes, so I'll shorthand it: dead junkie chess-playing possible Jewish Messiah attracts attention of bitter drunk divorced chess-hating former star Yiddish detective and his Native-born stoic chess-oblivious converted Jewish partner in a downtrodden Jewish mob run outpost of Yiddish culture facing Reversion to American control and the semi-prophetic severely well-funded conspiracy to enact the reestablishment of the Temple in Jerusalem. And chess is important.

More an interesting behind the scenes account, with interviews and amusing stories than a thorough exploration of the themes and symbology of the series. But as a behind the scenes text, it is amazingly thorough!

This book is just what the title says, a daily reader from one of the richest, warmest voices still living in literature. These morsels of solid food for mind and heart will see many days even after the dear man is gone too. No bones about it, Frederick Buechner is my favorite living author. He simply has a way of putting things that moves me to action and repose at the same time, to both internal contentment and stark rage at the world's pains and injustices. Having his tomes at hand to glance at or pore over is one way I stay sane and positive. Come what may, Buechner's elegant, sometimes archaic language churns like butter before my eyes. This compact read includes excerpts from most of his major works, including the exquisite, Pulitzer-nominated Godric, a novel. For what it's worth, it also comes with Maya Angelou's stamp of approval, as the two are friends. I think of Angelou and Buechner, Capote and Harper Lee, and more: Nothing beats those times when great voices find friendship.

It's well-written but kind of strange and a bit boring.

I had so many kids tell me how awesome this story was-- kids who said they didn't normally like non-fiction, but that they couldn't put this book down. So I moved it up on my reading list, and it is indeed a fascinating story. The way that James Swanson paces the events draws the reader right in, as does his opening statement that the circumstances surrounding Lincoln's assassination and the manhunt following Lincoln's death are so bizarre that nobody could make this stuff up. Middle-grade and middle-school students will come away with a new appreciation of Lincoln and the tension that faced the country in the days following the Civil War's official end. Captivating from beginning to end.
