Posted April 22, 2014 (edited) Book Number:53 Number Of Pages:426 Book Title:The Kadin Author:Bertrice Small Summary:A young woman is kidnapped and sold into slavery and becomes the mother of the Sultan Suleiman. Then she escapes home to Scotland and is raped by a 'man' whom she then takes as a 'lover'. Review: Bleah. I actually enjoyed the book up to the last few chapters with the rape. As a slave she was treated with far more respect. I am now going to delete the other books by Bertrice Small that I was going to read and find something better. I did, however, enjoy the earlier chapters set in Turkey, because of the considerable historical accuracy of the life style there. This is a romance, of course, not a true historical novel, so I wouldn't depend on this book for an essay on 16th century Turkey. :-) Edited April 24, 2014 by Jennie Share this post Link to post
Posted April 24, 2014 Book Number:54 Number Of Pages:558 Book Title:Do Or Die Author:Suzanne Brockmann Summary:Ian Dunn is in prison for a crime he didn't commit, but when the FBI offers him freedom for helping them with a case, he first turns them down. When they break him out anyway, he finally agrees to go along with their plans. Suddenly he and his family are in danger of their lives. Review: (optional)This is not a Troubleshooters novel, but is set in the same universe, as Jules Cassidy is mentioned. It's fast paced and exciting and the good characters are honourable to a fault. It's a complicated story, and difficult to summarize in a few sentences, but way better than Bertrice Small's 'rape=romance' nonsense. Share this post Link to post

Posted May 17, 2014 Book Number: 3 Number Of Pages: 700 Book Title: At Home Author: Bill Bryson Summary: A cultural history of daily life and "normal" activities, structured and illustrated by the rooms in Bill Bryson's English country house. The kitchen chapter is about food, cooking and servants' duties, the drawing room is about family matters and everyday comforts, the dining room about eating and social activities, the bedroom about marriage and childbirth, the dressing room about fashion etc. Bryson concentrates on the last 150 years (because his house was built in 1851), but happily goes back to the Norman Conquest or the Stone Age to add some quirky details. Rating: (optional) Review: Took me a while to finish this, not because it's a thick book (it is, but you can easily read 50-100 pages in a single sitting), but because too much Bryson can be too much of a good thing. Sometimes, I just needed a break. Book Number: 4 Number Of Pages: 294 Book Title: From Elvish to Klingon Author: Michael Adams et al. Summary: Collection of essays. A linguistic appreciation of invented/constructed languages. Features real languages such as Esperanto and modern Hebrew, but also languages from various genres of fiction, film and even games, including Newspeak, Elvish, Klingon, Joysprick, Simlish, Al-Bhed, Leet. Rating: (optional) 10/10 Review: (optional) Fascinating. And very well written. Most essays are short (too short!), but they all have comprehensive references/further reading lists. I've also read some studies on Klingon, Newspeak and Tolkien's languages, but this essay collection is a good starting point to delve into even more invented languages.
