This was the best out of my recent readings. The woman priest and her military background made for a delightful and suspenseful story. I am looking forward to #2 A Fountain Filled with Blood.

Not everyone is a science geek. Bill knows that. I am a science geek. Not that I took a lot of science courses, but it's a source of fascination for me. There was a lot of stuff I already knew -- if you've read A Brief History of Time the first two chapters are a wash -- but there was also a lot of stuff I didn't. It is miraculously accessible and funny, like all of Bryson's work. This is a textbook on its face, but at its heart is the diary of a grown man coming home every evening for a year with the words "Guess what I learned today" sparkling on his lips. It's fun to get excited about dinosaurs and asteroids and sub-atomic physics. My favorite bit, though, it less cheerfully indulgent. In every chapter he peels up a little piece of unpleasantness about our world. How we've poisoned ourselves with lead for four generations with the American government barely batting a lash. How naked we are in the path of an asteroid belt, and how microscopic is our knowledge of them. More compelling -- how every century has had its known truths about the nature of the universe, and how frequently they're wrong. This is my fourth Bryson book, after A Walk in the Woods, In a Sunburnt Country, and I'm a Stranger Here Myself: Notes on Returning to America After 20 Years Away. He's originally from Iowa, worked in England for most of his adult life, and now lives in Hanover, New Hampshire where I once played D&D every Sunday for three months.

I'm not usually into short stories that aren't written by Ray Bradbury or Stephen King, but this collection of lyrically written sci-fi/horror stories captured my attention and utterly charmed me. Most of the stories didn't make a lot of sense, but there was something completely beautiful about them that it didn't really matter. I even forgave some of the stories that didn't have good endings because they were simply so beautiful! I think my favorites were The Wizards of Perfil, Magic for Beginners and The Faery Handbag. I didn't care for The Surfer -- but then I also didn't like that story when I read it in The Starry Rift. One bad story out of nine stories total... not too bad!

The Fuck Up is highly entertaining but kept me constantly on the verge of an anxiety attack. The title fits the book perfectly.
kind of like cheetos, except instead of being sprinkled liberally with fake cheese, this was liberally sprinkled with an interesting setting. reading it was was like mindlessly biting on air: i got to the end of the book and realized that nothing had actually happened. rather unsettling. despite that, i liked the book well enough to finish it (although it so lacked in any compelling action, character, or plot line that i would put it down for days on end without a thought). i would read another before writing off the series.
The author right at the beginning tells us that the movie (which I haven’t yet seen) The King’s Speech is a snapshot into the relationship between Lionel Logue and the King, so this book gives a great background on both of these men. I really enjoyed the inside look at the Queen who my generation knows as the Queen Mum, she was so sweet to her husband and they had so much love between them. This was such an intimate look into the lives of the Royals and showed them as such down to earth likable people I really found this book fascinating and lovely. Also the little glimpse at the future Queen Elizabeth & Phillip’s courtship was interesting. I think it is a good thing that I haven’t watched the movie yet and now looking even more forward to watching it. I think because I haven’t seen the film I may have been even more enthralled with the book which is never a bad thing! I listened to this on audio narrated by, Simon Vance who did a wonderful job and there is an original speech by the King which adds wonderful authenticity to the reading. Highly recommend listening to this on audio for that extra touch! 4 Stars
A really sweet and endearing retelling of Pygmalion/My Fair Lady. The characters are pretty well developed-especially for chick lit. It's a very quick read, and fun fluff.Best part? It's only three bucks for the Kindle right now. Bonus!

Ick. I hated this book. I felt that the author was basically living out her own fantasy of being adored by these historical and fictional men. I mean, she even finds a way to work in Hawthrone and Emerson having a crush on her. It's the kind of book where the heroine stands on the deck of ships (or ports, or lighthouses) with her hair blowing in the wind a lot. All men want her. She survives great hardship with her noble spirit intact. And she has an intelligent, sensitive soul that is eventually recognized by the greatest minds of her generation. Historical fiction or historical masturbation?
