Spoiled child.

Revisado: 02-18-25

It's not fair to this book that I;d read Memoirs of a Geisha first. This is more autobiographical and much less interesting. Mostly I felt I was looking at a spoiled child who had what she wanted out of life. Being just about her life, it didn't have much of a plot. It's interesting, but not engaging.

Lovely stories!

Revisado: 02-18-25

Novik is a delightful writer. Half fairy story, half cautionary tale. She flips a story that seems to be going somewhere dreadful to something magical with great skill
Some of the accents were a bit much for me. But the stories are worthy.

Short but with a punch

Revisado: 02-18-25

Charles Todd has a gift for showing how different wartime decisions are from our everyday choices. His is a hard punching story about what you do with a sociopath in war. It's chilling. But it's a good read.

Sad but lovely

Revisado: 02-18-25

I was familiar with the stories of Molokai. This is Japanese, and in many ways different. It doesn't stress that, but people's reactions are stronger. It's clearly a different culture.
For me, it's about how you treat people you are afraid of. Cautionary. Unfortunately, I believe it to be accurate.
The girl herself is brave, kind, strong, and heroic in her ability to do the things she could. I loved her.

So glad to find this book in audible.

Revisado: 10-30-23

Another book I've loved forever. It's a bit dated, but not in ways that count. It explores how we take in something new and how at some times we simply can't. Great read.

Classic Sherri Tepper

Revisado: 10-30-23

This is a story about deception and sensibility. And making your world work. I've always loved it, and was delighted to find it on audible. I'd love to see this as a classroom book for literature. It's a great turn around.

Soft porn

Revisado: 10-30-23

This started out so well. There's a neat male modern-day witch accepted by his world. Then they add the love interest and it's endless bed time. 'With almost no plot. I found it unreadable after a certain point. Not a prude, but this was not to my taste

Dreadful

Revisado: 05-29-22

I can’t say if it’s the writing or the delivery of this book. It’s got the depth of a postcard. It reads like it’s for an eight year old. Neat subject. Very disappointed.

Quite unexpected

Revisado: 04-23-22

This starts slow and it's not what I expected. Delightful end to the thing. I'm tired of fairy books, and I'm not a mountain fan but this has both in it in a way that completely surprised me. Highly recommended.

Something fun but different

Revisado: 04-23-22

This is a bit more romance than I care for, but the premise is quite different and it's well worked out. It's an enjoyable read with a mild sci fy premise.
