Harriet TubmanĪ wonderful fact to reflect upon, that every human creature is constituted to be that profound secret and mystery to every other. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world. "Every great dream begins with a dreamer. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” J.R. ‘So do I,’ said Gandalf, ‘and so do all who live to see such times. “I wish it need not have happened in my time,’ said Frodo. Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a little of that.” "That in itself is a tremendous thing.after all, what's a life anyway? We're born, we live a little while, we die.By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. “You have been my friend," replied Charlotte. Aysel Seran in My Heart and Other Black Holes Maybe all anyone ever needs is for someone to notice them, to observe them." Maybe that's what love really boils down to - having someone who cares enough to pay attention so that you're encouraged to travel and transfer, to make your potential energy spark into kinetic energy. I once read in my physics book that the universe begs to be observed, that energy travels and transfers when people pay attention.

In addition to the intelligence of the book, it is witty, clever, and engaging-full of suspense and mystery. Actually, there are interesting words that pique one’s curiosity of how the characters interact with each other however, not so many as to bog down the flow of the storyline. It is not written in the typical fifth-grade English that most novels today are. The college openly accepts everyone through their doors who wants an education but, there are some people who were bred in Southern tradition and are set about what they feel should be right and proper-and, they are not happy about Windfield College. It is a modern day allegory that shows the inside truth of people set in a northern Virginia college town. Even though the book does have a transsexual person in it, it is not about the process or the whys and whatnots. It is not a journey of mismatched sour romances nor it is a book of soul searching, familiar movies, or transsexuals. “She’s My Dad” is not what I expected it to be. And, even though I do review books I am happy to report that all the reviews are accurate. My first thought when I saw the high ratings for “She’s My Dad” was the author must have a lot of friends-the book cannot be that good.

Absent are mentions of sprig muslin and poke bonnets, with coats made by Weston and boots polished until they gleam. As such, she has no need of the level of detail, the minute attention to dress, manners and turns of phrase that are the particular calling card of Georgette Heyer. The world crafted inside Jane Austen’s pages is that of an author familiar with its nuances and rhythms. As an outsider describing an unfamiliar world she needed to observe quirks, trends and details that the insider has no need of. But, where Jane looked at that world ensconced in the bubble of contemporaneity Georgette looked it through the crystal ball of hindsight. Of course, Heyer took her cues from that other grand name associated with Regency England Jane Austen. Georgette Heyer defined a genre in a way that no other author has since, she created a blueprint for the historical romance, a set of rules almost, that is still being adhered to today. Maybe it was just a perfectionist desire to ‘get things right’ but nearly a century on her novels still define the genre which has grown far past those pages which make up Regency Buck. Anyone who puts as much attention to detail into her novels as she did has to have a master plan. 80 years ago when a young Georgette Heyer sat down to write her first, and arguably the world’s first, Regency Romance: Regency Buck I like to think she knew exactly what she was doing. 6/27/2023 0 Comments Circus mirandus by cassie beasleyDespite meddling by Great-Aunt-Gertrudis, the magic world of Circus Mirandus opens up for Micah and his friend, Jenny, a friend as pragmatic as Micah is trustful. He entrusts his message to Micah and a chatty parrot named Chintzy. Grandpa Ephraim sends the Lightbender a message saying he needs the miracle now. But somehow, the inside of the black tent was much more spacious than its outside. “The crowd seemed larger than it had before, and he worried that they might not all fit. (Tying and untying knots was-and is-a Tuttle talent.) Impressed, the Lightbender promised Ephraim a miracle, a miracle Ephraim decided to save for the future. Enraptured by the Lightbender’s illusions, Ephraim showed him a magic trick of his own, a special knot. To go back in time: Grandpa Ephraim was mysteriously called to the circus when he was ten, longing for his father to come home from the war. Micah is all but banished from Ephraim’s room. Hearing these stories revisited makes her furious. Now Grandpa Ephraim is ill, and Great-Aunt Gertrudis has come to take care of him. No tale is as wondrous as the one about The Man Who Bends Light and his ability to make dreams reality. Ten-year-old Micah Tuttle has always been entranced by Grandpa Ephraim’s tales of Circus Mirandus, a magic circus where the improbable is possible. What to Expect: An intriguing adventure that opens up the world of magic, miracles, and the possibility of other dimensions.
