This book was way sad but immensely readable. It’s about the Salem witch trials…kinda. The story centers on one family whose mother is accused and imprisoned on charges of witchcraft. Most of her children, including her oldest daughter who narrates the story, are imprisoned also. Basically the mother is an opinionated woman who refuses to obey the religious town leaders. The book is really well written and not melodramatic in the least.
This book is written by the author of the ‘Shopaholic’ book series. Apparently she publishes under two different names. I can’t begin to understand why. Look, these books aren’t going to win the Booker Prize or anything but they are damn entertaining. It’s summer. I need something to read by the pool. Don’t judge me.
I read this while Kevin and I were on vacation in Vancouver. Needless to say, we came home and bought a puppy. It’s not like that pet psychic lady from TV. This guy just makes the point that dogs are animals snd treating them like dolls or children is probably gonna backfire on you. He also thinks that if you need to keep your pet in a crate for 20 hours a day while you work, live and sleep then perhaps, your life is too full for a dog. Don’t get mad at me. Cesar said it.
This is the follow up to Pillars of the Earth. I really liked them both. Be warned. They are both WAY long.
This is another sequel. The second installment of the Spellman novels. This one was even funnier than the first. Seriously, read them.
