![]() ![]() I enjoy thunderstorms, collecting eggs from the chickens, and visiting the local brewery for the darkest, maltiest beer on tap. I’m a gardener, and I love nurturing small plants until they’re big and healthy and productive…and ripping defenseless weeds out by the roots when I’m angry. Nowadays, I live in the west with this obnoxious, beloved husband and a seventy-pound lap-puppy. (And he still looks down my swimsuit tops.) We’ve now been married for many, many years. ![]() But although we were together less than two days and lived on opposite sides of the country, love can’t be corralled by time or space. Actually since he stood over me, enjoying the view down my swimsuit top, I might have been a tad peeved-as well as attracted. Now I won’t say it was love at first sight. I met my dearheart when vacationing in the Caribbean.

Only on one occasion-after charges were published falsely accusing her of causing the death of one her companions-did she speak up for herself. But whatever stories the press turned out came from the imaginations of reporters: Ada Blackjack refused to speak to anyone about her horrific two years in the Arctic. This young, unskilled woman-who had headed to the Arctic in search of money and a husband-conquered the seemingly unconquerable north and survived all alone after her male companions had perished.įollowing her triumphant return to civilization, the international press proclaimed her the female Robinson Crusoe. Two years later, Ada Blackjack emerged as the sole survivor of this ambitious polar expedition. ![]() In September 1921, four young men and Ada Blackjack, a diminutive 25-year-old Eskimo woman, ventured deep into the Arctic in a secret attempt to colonize desolate Wrangel Island for Great Britain. ![]() From the author of The Ice Master comes the remarkable true story of a young Inuit woman who survived six months alone on a desolate, uninhabited Arctic island ![]() Case histories jackson brodie5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() There are small time shifts throughout, and where this could have been a distraction in the hands of a less accomplished writer, Kate Atkinson utilizes this to give us added perspective. Subsequent chapters are narrated by Jackson Brodie himself as well as some of the people we met in the case histories. This gave a backdrop to the story that was cleverly done – it was so visceral and real from the start. Cleverly, Kate Atkinson drew me in immediately by having each case study narrated by people directly involved. There is a chapter dedicated to each case history, but they were not written from Jackson Brodie’s notes. Now, at the age of 45, he is a private investigator – and suddenly he has 3 cases to solve. Professionally, he was in the army, then he joined the police force. ![]() Jackson Brodie had a rough personal life in ways that are gradually revealed throughout this novel. ![]() This novel, the first of the series, is indeed about ‘case histories’. I have read three of her other novels, and as I said in one of my reviews, if I could be an author, I would want to be Kate Atkinson – or, at the very least, be able to write with her vast toolbox of skills and imagination. I wasn’t sure what to expect from Kate Atkinson’s Jackson Brodie series. ![]() Locke and key book5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Provided by BetMGM Sportsbook access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list.

What was most disappointing about Gemma Halliday’s story? ![]() As a thriller/mystery story, the plot was poor, the dialogue worse and my interest diminished to non-existent. I would be very surprised if people would enjoy this as a caricature of LA life. Had a man written this story, he would have been pilloried for viewing women as being so shallow. It may be an LA thing, but if I was a woman, I would not want to be portrayed as being so superficial. She is clearly following an Evanovich style formula with the love interest being a Latin policeman (Spanish not Italian origin) and a series of ridiculous and uninteresting characters. Where Janet Evanovich has created a likeable character in Stephanie and surrounded her with larger than life characters, Gemma Halliday has created a female character in Maddie Springer who is two dimensional, predictable and not very likeable. ![]() This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?Īs somebody who loved the Stephanie Plum novels, I bought the first six of this series based on the reviews. ![]() Book after a dance with dragons5/29/2023 ![]() ![]() The previous installment, A Dance with Dragons, covered less story than Martin intended, excluding at least one planned large battle sequence and leaving several character threads ending in cliffhangers. ![]() Martin stated in a 2012 interview that The Winds of Winter and the following book A Dream of Spring will take readers farther north than any of the previous books, and the Others will appear in the book. subsequently estimating that he had written approximately 1,100 to 1,200 pages of the novel, and had roughly 400 - 500 pages left.
