I found that to be a very entertaining way to tell Mimi’s story. This book was laid out as Mimi Wallingford’s recounted story of what happened when she was magically transported to Shakespeare’s Verona. It takes place in the modern world (2006, when this book was published). This book was a unique adaptation of the original play of Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare. But what will happen if they change the ending to this famous When Mimi meets Juliet, she realizes that they are not thatĭifferent, and Mimi does not want to see the tragic end of Romeo and Juliet Into Shakespeare’s Verona, they both experience the Montagues and Capulets feudįirst hand. But when Mimi, along with Troy, are magically transported The catch for Mimi is that she has no interest in acting, something her motherĬannot understand. Mimi is playing opposite to teen heartthrob Troy Summer, who is playing Romeo. She is anĪctress playing Juliet in her family’s production of Romeo and Juliet. Mimi Wallingford, the great-granddaughter of the famousĪctress Adelaide Wallingford, has a life some can only dream about.

By the time Jaouad flew home to New York, she had lost her job, her apartment, and her independence. Just like that, the life she had imagined for herself had gone up in flames. Then a trip to the doctor and, a few weeks shy of her twenty-third birthday, a diagnosis: leukemia, with a 35 percent chance of survival. Next came the exhaustion, and the six-hour naps that only deepened her fatigue. It started with an itch-first on her feet, then up her legs, like a thousand invisible mosquito bites. The real world she found, however, would take her into a very different kind of conflict zone. In the summer after graduating from college, Suleika Jaouad was preparing, as they say in commencement speeches, to enter "the real world." She had fallen in love and moved to Paris to pursue her dream of becoming a war correspondent. Jaouad's insights about the self, connectedness, uncertainty and time speak to all of us."- The Washington Post Her writing restores the moon, lights the way as we learn to endure the unknown."-Chanel Miller, The New York Times Book Review "Beautifully crafted.

However, for some reason, Stephen has always occupied a special spot in my heart, perhaps owing to the fact that he is a hero overlooked by many fans of the author. All the books in the series are 5-star reads for me. Stephen is the younger brother of Clayton Westmoreland, the much revered hero of Whitney, My Love, the book that saw Judith McNaught rise to stardom. Well, that was a handful if ever there was one. Until You is the 3rd book in the Westmoreland saga and tells the story of Stephen David Elliott Westmoreland, Earl of Langford, Baron of Ellingwood, Fifth Viscount Hargrove, Viscount Ashbourne. For myself, authors like Judith McNaught remains as my go to authors when most books of today fails to satisfy me and hit all those spots that need to be petted and stroked when I pick up a romance to read. Until You by Judith McNaught is one of my favorite books by an author who would always remain as one of those that are unforgettable for me as a romance reader. It takes him back to Scotland, where he must talk to Jamie Fraser about his connections among the Jacobites. Time is of the essence as John investigates an incident he barely remembers as a child. While they are doing this, Lord John stumbles onto a mystery involving his late father and the possibility that he might have been the victim of a murder made to look like a suicide. They are introduced to their new “stepbrother” Percy Wainwright with the request that they find a place for him in the company of soldiers going off to fight. Their father died seventeen years earlier, of an apparent suicide with whispers of corruption. Lord John and his brother Hal are preparing to do battle when their mother announces she is remarrying. It is set in 1758, during the Seven Years’ War. Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade is the second novel in the Lord John series. With this trilogy of novels, Gabaldon fills us in on Lord John’s background. He is first introduced to the story when Jamie Fraser languishes in a Scottish prison following the Jacobite rebellion and became a recurring character. One of the great peripheral characters in Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series is that of Lord John Grey. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.All Creatures Great And Small (Original Series). How can any self-respecting girl say no? But a collection of Ferragamos isn't the only temptation for Betsy. Frankly, Betsy couldn't care less about vamp politics, but they have a powerful weapon of persuasion: designer shoes. Worst of all, her new friends have the ridiculous idea that Betsy is the prophesied vampire queen, and they want her help in overthrowing the most obnoxious, power-hungry vampire in five centuries-a badly dressed Bela Lugosi wannabe, natch. She's not taking too well to a liquid diet. Every night she rises, with a horrible craving for blood. But what really bites (besides waking up in the morgue dressed in a pink suit and cheap shoes courtesy of her stepmother) is that she can't seem to stay dead. Then, to top things off, she's killed in a car accident. It's been a helluva week for Betsy Taylor. From Just-Laid-Off Secretary to Queen of the Undead. His life, up to the moment when the story starts, has been that of a careless youth who spends time with his best mates, eating and sleeping to his heart’s content. King of Ithaka is a reimagining of the Odyssey from the point of view of Telemachos, who tells his own tale as a young man in the small kingdom of Ithaka. After these first few books, Homer concentrates on Odysseus’ journey home until father and son are reunited in a glorious (and gory) ending when they execute the wannabe usurpers of Odysseus’ throne (and suitors of Penelope – his wife and Telemachos’ mother ). In Greek Mythology, Telemachos is the son of the great Hero Odysseus and a central character in Homer’s poem The Odyssey – its first four books focus on Telamachos’ journey to find news of his missing father, who had been away for about 20 years. Why did I read this book: I recently read and loved Dark of the Moon by this author and as soon as I was done with it, I went and bought King of Ithaka looking for more awesomeness. With only a mysterious prophecy to guide him, Telemachos sets off over sea and desert in search of the father he has never known. But now the people are demanding a new king, unless Telemachos can find Odysseus and bring him home. Telemachos has a comfortable life on his small island of Ithaka, where his mother Penelopeia keeps the peace even though the land has been without its king, his father Odysseus, since the Trojan War began many years ago. Genre: Fantasy / Historical / Greek Mythology / Young Adult I first read One For The Money, begrudgingly, as a result of a friend borrowing it from the library for me having recommended that I read it. You won’t be disappointed if you’re looking for something light hearted to listen to. You will fall in love with Ranger and Joe! Both are too hot to handle……no wonder Stephanie can’t choose between the two! Don’t let the narrator changes deter you from listening to this funny charming, and at times mysterious series. King’s character voices are awesome (she has such a range!) her Stephanie voice has no Jersey accent at all and sound just a little too “blue blood”. Narrator Debi Mazar’s accent is a bit heavy for audio books and then after all this Lorilei King takes over as narrator for the rest of the series. I do agree that narrator Lori Petty is the voice of Stephanie. It appears to me that Stephanie’s character is just one of those people that trouble and mayhem seem to find. I disagree that it gets old and complacent that Stephanie finds herself in the same situations in every book. I agree with some and disagree with others. I couldn’t wait to hear what adventures (and mishaps!) that Stephanie, Joe, Ranger, Lula and the rest of the gang would get into. I downloaded all 13 books and listened to them all within a week. This is the first time I have read this author and have fallen in love with the Stephanie Plum series. His photographs are included in the most important world collections.

Not every HBO show has to be “The Wire” (or even “Dream On”), and I enjoy a good turn-off-your-brain show as much as the next guy. When I panned the “Entourage” finale, some fans of that show argued that I just didn’t get it, that “Entourage” was always just a fun half hour about hanging out with these likable dudes, getting glimpses of LA and showbiz culture, seeing beautiful women, etc. “How to Make It in America” is back for a second season, and I have a quick review of the premiere, and thoughts on the series as a whole, coming up just as soon as I get into a proper men’s haberdashery… A first illustrated edition of this work.?Watership Down is an adventure novel that features a small group of rabbits.
