Historia
A modern classic, Marilynne Robinson's Housekeeping is the story of Ruth and her younger sister, Lucille, who grow up haphazardly, first under the care of their competent grandmother, then of two comically bumbling great-aunts, and finally of Sylvie, the eccentric and remote sister of their dead mother. The family house is in the small town of Fingerbone on a glacial lake in the Far West, the same lake where their grandfather died in a spectacular train wreck and their mother drove off a cliff to her death.

Wonderful words and descriptions that tells a story that goes almost nowhere. Beautiful words, but not memorable.

Historia
When my best friend and the only person who knows who - and what - I really am gets selected for the Mating Games, I know the only way to save her is to try and win her for myself. All I need to do is navigate three trials while not letting anyone know I'm a woman, or, and this might be even more important, that I have magic. Easy, right? Easier than slaving away for all hours of the day swinging an ax in the mines. Or so I thought. I certainly didn't count on the one man I've longed for, the one man who stirs feelings of femininity and desire within me, to enter the games as well.

The end of the series for me
Revisado: 04-11-23
Mediocre world building and cardboard characters made this a slog for me. The romance part was okay since nobody fell instantly in love or was destined to be together. There were some glimmers that suggested it could have been more with a lot of editing.

Historia
The Sound and the Fury is the tragedy of the Compson family, featuring some of the most memorable characters in literature: beautiful, rebellious Caddy; the manchild Benjy; haunted, neurotic Quentin; Jason, the brutal cynic; and Dilsey, their black servant. Their lives fragmented and harrowed by history and legacy, the character’s voices and actions mesh to create what is arguably Faulkner’s masterpiece and one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century.

Beautifully written, but confusing story
Revisado: 03-18-23
Faulkner did an excellent job showcasing his evocative descriptions and use of multiple narrators, but it was hard to differentiate the present from the past, leading me confused.

Historia
Among the ashes of a dying world, an agent of the Commandment finds a letter. It reads: Burn before reading. Thus begins an unlikely correspondence between two rival agents hellbent on securing the best possible future for their warring factions. Now, what began as a taunt, a battlefield boast, becomes something more. Something epic. Something romantic. Something that could change the past and the future. Except the discovery of their bond would mean the death of each of them. There’s still a war going on, after all. And someone has to win. That’s how war works, right?

Literary fiction with a sci-fi veneer
Revisado: 02-27-23
Evocative descriptions and flowing sentences made this an enjoyable listen, but as is true with a lot of literary fiction, there story was just the vehicle for the language and never really went anywhere.

Great beginning with a disappointing finish
Revisado: 02-13-23
I was hooked by the opening scene, which made me excited for the rest of the story, but there was a lot of repetition in the dialogue, thinking, and descriptions as well as a plot that didn’t quite gel by the end. In addition, the use of stereotypes got a little tiresome,

Historia
Her name is Binti, and she is the first of the Himba people ever to be offered a place at Oomza University, the finest institution of higher learning in the galaxy. But to accept the offer will mean giving up her place in her family to travel between the stars among strangers who do not share her ways or respect her customs. Knowledge comes at a cost, one that Binti is willing to pay, but her journey will not be easy. The world she seeks to enter has long warred with the Meduse, an alien race that has become the stuff of nightmares.

Classic, but bothersome
Revisado: 10-20-22
Chandler does an excellent job staying in character, constantly using evocative descriptions. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of sexism and homophobia throughout it greatly reducing my enjoyment.

It was a fine distraction as the story flowed between thoughts and feelings, although for a the time spent inside characters’ heads, I didn’t feel like I knew most of them by the end.

Historia
The gospel of Jesus Christ is not about what Jesus can do for your life. It is not even the answer to the question, “How can I be saved?” It is the declaration of a victory. In his coming to earth, his suffering, and his Resurrection, Christ conquered demons, sin, and death. In Arise, O God, author and podcaster Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick introduces us to the spiritual war that Christ won by his victory, how we are caught in that war’s cosmic crossfire, what the true content of the gospel is—and how we are to respond.

A nice introduction to the Orthodox Christian view of the meaning of the Gospels and how it differs from other branches of Christianity.
