THE MOUNTAINS WAIT is one of those books that easily draws you in to the author's way of life and daily experiences, which in this case include some devastating historic events in a surprising locale. As the young mayor of Narvik, Norway, Theodor Broch gives a personal account of the 1940 Nazi invasion and occupation of his town. I was fascinated by the unfolding of these events in such a peaceful, remote community. This true story helped me to understand the reality of living with war, at least for the people of this quiet coastal town. It is a powerful story of ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. Remember, too, that Broch wrote this book well before the end of World War 2. And as you read, don't forget to turn to the section of the book containing his personal photographs and a couple of helpful maps. Although hard-to-find, it is well worth the effort to seek out THE MOUNTAINS WAIT.

Wow! What a great start to the beginning of a fuckin awesome series. I love how its set in modern times and foul language is not avoided. These brothers are tough bad guys with a soft heart deep down. Definitly had me laughing out loud a few times too. Romance is at its best here also. Yes I know its sappy but i'm sucker for it. A girl can dream right? After all I heard about this book. I thought it was gonna have a lot of raunchy dirty sex. But it really wasnt like that. The writer sure knows how to build te sexual tension but it doesnt really go any deeper when it comes down to it. Filled with enuf action. The last few chapters had me skipping pages so fast just to find out what happens next. No matter what time I was readin.

A wonderful trashy novel I picked up for 50 cents at the local used bookstore when I was a teen. What a great plot but even better, it has great descriptions of clothing, food and locale. I read EVERY book Jennifer Wilde wrote; then I found out it was a man writing under a pseudonym. Doesn't ruin it at all for me, though. He's still a great romance novelist.

FAVOURITE BOOK OF 2011! The Scorpio Races was far and away the best book I read in 2011. You know how some books just suck you in, and hold you captive, and are just completely magical and perfect? And when you finish, you are so happy because it's a perfect ending when you didn't think that was possible five pages ago, but your are also bereft because you've left that world? That's how The Scorpio Races was for me. Thank goodness books can be re-read! The story begins with the ominous and intriguing words, "It is the first day of November and so, today, someone will die." For on the island of Thisby, every November, the deadly Scorpio Races are held. A brutal and dangerous ride along the beach on capaill uisce, vicious and deadly water horses, who emerge from the sea and must be caught, and controlled, if you want to survive the races. Kate "Puck" Connolly is the first girl to ever enter. She is driven by a desire to change her family's fortune and stop her elder brother from leaving for the main land. No one wants her in the race, and Puck isn't even sure if she'll survive it, but help comes from an unexpected quater, four times champion and loner, Sean Kendrick. The thing Maggie Steifvater really excels at is mood and atmosphere, and the writing in The Scorpio Races is as beautifully descriptive and evocative as in her other books. The setting, while being richly described, was also vague. As was the period events are taking place in. Which made it easier to believe in the fairy tale like aspect of the water horses and the rituals the riders had. It also gave the book a kind of old world charm. It is also full of amazing characters who are all so richly and well drawn I think they might be out there living on Thisby. The Scorpio Races begins slowly, but the undercurrent of tension, caused by Puck announcing her intention to ride, builds and builds and after chapter forty I simply couldn't be separated from this book until I had finished. It's heart pounding, nail biting, stay up way past bedtime stuff. I was so invested in both Puck and Sean's stories, The Scorpio Races is told in a duel narrative, and so you get a chance to see into both their hearts and minds. I was desperate for them to get a happy ending, while being sure it couldn't possibly happen. There can only be one winner in the races, and they both have everything to lose. Without giving too much away, the ending is perfection. . . and had me in floods of tears. The romance is less, fornt and centre than in The Wolves of Mercy Falls Trilogy, but I loved it more. There is more hesitation and self consciousness and so I was willing them to give in to their feelings. Also Sean Kendeick might be a man of few words, but the ones he does utter are pretty much perfect. "It's late for that Puck" - oh happy sigh! Plus bread is clearly the new chocolate for those of you courting. So yes, my book of the year. If you haven't picked it up yet, you really must. It's gorgeous and heart wrenching and a keeper.

Follows assasination of Lincoln, Garfield, and McKinley. Vowell is not a great writer- fluency and punctuation issues which drove the English teacher in me crazy. BUT she has interesting things to say/point out and she's super sarcastic which makes up for the rest. She points out interesting coincidences between the three separate assasinations. Worth reading.

Another impressive book from Ms. Atwood. I started it on a plane ride and the hours just flew by. I was actually disappointed to get to my destination, since that meant I had to put the book down for a while. I loved the "story within a story" structure, although I could understand if some folks find it frustrating.

While reading this book I kept on thinking how glad I am that I never lived in a time where people would wrap their feet. That whole process seems to barbaric to me. But it was still interesting to learn about and to learn how women were suppose to act and be perceived at that time in history
