I read this for the first time in two years and I have to honestly say I didn't give Butch a fair shake on the fist go around. I've reread Rhage's and Zsadists books many times but this was Butch's first re-read. I think this is mainly because this first time I read this I had finished Lover Awakened a few days ago. If that book is in not the best paranormal romance written it is definitely in the top five. The emotional intensity is a hard act to follow to say the least and I was comparing it too much to Zsadist's story. Lover Revealed is very different. It really opened up the Brotherhood universe to many facets and subplots, and when I first read it I wanted it to be all Butch/Marissa scenes. I didn't appreciate all the space given to Butch fulfilling his destiny and Marissa coming into her own as a person. Before it really annoyed me how Butch was always feeling like he didn't measure up, and Marissa's naivety bothered me too. I don't know why I was so much less judmental towards them. Maybe it was because as the later books focus so much on John/Blay/Quinn/Xhex/Revenge reading the narrative from Butch's perspective was like coming home to an old friend. Plus, Boston boys are wicked hot.

Many know of Luther's 95 Theses, but few have read them. I decided to read them and I was shocked at how bold he was! Through this book, I learned about the history as to why Luther posted his theses and the impact that it made. He was remarkably bold. These are some of my favorite: 3, 23, 24, 27, 28, 32, 43, 44, 45, 53, 54, 62, 86 My favorite: Thesis 62 The true treasure of the Church is the Most Holy Gospel of the glory and the grace of God.

I think most of the reviews will say how amazing this book truly is. This is one of those difficult ones to put a category on. You have a Matrix like computer world, but then an 80's romp, but then you have geek love story (the best kind). Intrigue, action, just an excellent book.

One of my favorite books in a long time. Combines good storytelling, good characters, and spot on history. Follows the Master family from 1664 until 2009 and their experiences in Manhattan, from the Revolutionary War, to the Guilded Age, to 9/11.

Chronicle of the Queens of Egypt traces the lives and reigns of Ancient Egyptian queens from early dynastic times to the Ptolemaic period. It's important to stress right off the bat that this is a book written and designed for a general, rather than specialist, audience. That said, it is a Joyce Tyldesley book which means it's a high quality, reliable read regardless. I really enjoyed reading a book dedicated to Ancient Egypt's royal women. Tyldesley is not alone in dedicating a book to this subject, but I believe Chronicle of the Queens of Egypt is more accessible than most, if not all. Typically, an overview of Egyptian history will focus on the kings, and only really explore the few female pharaohs (e.g. Hatshepsut), those queens that have left their mark on popular culture (e.g. Nefertiti) and those queens that straddle that border (e.g. Cleopatra). As such, this book is a very welcome addition to my library. After providing an overview on the role of women and, more specifically, royal women in Egyptian society, Tyldesley begins by discussing each individual queen that ruled from c. 3100 BCE to 30 BCE. The book is divided into six sections: 1. The First Queens (Early Dynastic Egypt) 2. Queens of the Pyramid Age (Old Kingdom) 3. Chaos and Rebirth (First and Second Intermediate Periods, Middle Kingdom) 4. Queens of the Empire (The New Kingdom) 5. Weakened Royal Power (Third Intermediate and Late Periods) 6. The Last Queens of Egypt (Ptolemaic period) Each section provides a basic overview and then discusses each queen in as much detail as possible. This is no doubt dictated by what evidence there is for each queen – there is a severe lack of evidence for many of Egypt's queens. The queens that are better attested naturally have more written about them than the ones we have minimal evidence of. Obviously, the likes of Nefertiti and Cleopatra could have – and have had – entire books dedicated to their lives and reigns, but Tyldesley wisely limits herself to an overview lasting only a few pages. The largest section is dedicated to the New Kingdom ("Queens of the Empire"), which is just under 90 pages long. This is hardly surprising – the New Kingdom was the time of the most famous of Egypt's native queens. Hatshepsut, Tiye, Nefertiti, Ankhesenamun and Nefertari all lived and ruled in this time period. Along the way, Tyldesley provides "special features" to provide more detail about a particular topic. These topic run from women's health and childbirth to particular titles or regalia used by the queens to Cleopatra's adoption of Isis's imagery and more. All in all, it's a very thorough look at Egypt's royal women. And it's typical Tyldesley – detailed, reliable and an easily accessible read. You really can't go wrong with a book written by Tyldesley. It is not perfect read, though. To begin with, some information is out of date. I'm not suggesting that Tyldesley should have updated her book with every new bit of information that was released, but it's something for the reader to be aware of. As it is designed for a general audience (as mentioned above), the book is sometimes quiet on the detailed debates going on in Egyptology circles. A few times, Tyldesley would make a statement, I'd blink and think, "well, it's actually a lot more complicated and a hell of a lot less certain than that". But again, Tyldesley is writing for an audience that don't need to be (and probably wouldn't want to be) dragged down into the tarpits of Egyptological debate. I also thought that the section on the Ptolemaic queens could have been longer and more detailed. Chronicle of the Queens of Egypt is a very thorough, detailed look at the queens of Ancient Egypt, a welcome addition to my library with only a few minor flaws to bring it down. I would find it very easy to recommend this book.

It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but it wasn't great as it should have been. Too poetic for my taste. It had suspense and I finished it before I was supposed to. My English teacher will be proud.

This is the first Maguire book I've read that was set in modern times in the "real" world. At first it kinda threw me off, but I actually really enjoyed it. The story is full of masterfull twists and turns, always keeping you guessing about what this book is actually about.
