I know I wrote a review of this book for my library's staff reccomendations shelf, but it seems to have been misplaced. Eleanor the Q...

Straight from the Stacks. Friday, March 26, 2010. H is for Harper. Karen Harper is quickly becoming one of my new favorite historical novelists. I had the great priviledge of meeting Karen Harper at the 2009 Historical Novel Society Conference in Illinois last June. I was able to chat with her a few minutes, and she signed my copy of her novel. In December, I listened to the audiobook version of. Which was incredible. In fact, reading. I am anxiously awaiting to begin Harper's latest historical novel,.

Straight from the Stacks. Friday, May 21, 2010. Summer Reading Begins Again! It's time for the Summer Reading Program at my library which means two months of promoting reading to kids.

So far just this week, I have read about 10, (there are 72 in all) so I think I will be able to complete my challenge by the end of July. Yeah! By Albert Camus and.

Straight from the Stacks: January 2011

Straight from the Stacks. Saturday, January 15, 2011. W is for Wolf Hall. This will be my last post for the 2010 Historical Tapestry Challenge. I have scoured my bookshelves, my memory, and my reading lists, but I have never read a historical novel or author with the letters X, Y, or Z. I had always sort of disliked Cromwell (not hard, I know), but after reading this book, I found that I had quite a bit of sympathy for him and actually kind of liked him. That's powerful writing!

Straight from the Stacks. Wednesday, September 8, 2010. Q is for The Queen's Devotion. Jean Plaidy has always been one of my favorite historical fiction writers. The following is a review that appeared in. The Queen’s Devotion. Mary is very young and naïve when she is married and feels that her world has been turned upside down- she is unhappy with the ladies accompanying her to her new home, she must leave behind her beloved father and sister, and she does not like her husband, who treats her very coolly.
