This biographical, historical, women’s fiction novel, is very unique in that it is told almost as a memoir, but with a twist I think makes it special. I hope you’ll check out my #bookreview for this novel, on my blog here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2019/09/06/a-good-ghost/

graveyardgremlin (7194 KP) rated Lady of Palenque : Flower of Bacal, Mesoamerica, A.D. 749 in Books
Feb 15, 2019
I read around fifty pages before I decided to quit. The story was rather boring and the numerous names were confusing, so I had a hard time keeping everyone straight. I think the main problem was that the author got bogged down with historical details - names, descriptions, what was going to happen, and even things that didn't really matter and forgot to tell the story. I think there probably is some interesting stuff in here, but frankly, I don't care to wade through the rest of the book to find it. However, I did read the epilogue and historical notes, and found them very interesting. That is the best part of the book.

EPIC
Tom Hanks plays Forrest Gump plays a young man who is very slow but, smart growing up in the south during the 60's with his mom (Field). His life through school, the Vietnam war where he befriends his LT (Sinise), his lust for the love of his life Jenny (wright), to coming home and becoming the shrimp king of the world and just on more historical adventures.
The movie is kind of set to Billy Joel's "We didn't start the fire" as a ton of these historical events take place during this movie in which forrest has some connection with. The movie aslo has one of the best 60's soundtracks set to it of all time.

My I love this. It really keeps the holiday spirt a live. It is centered around Christmas season. Something happen about dozen years that though both Gordon and Margret. I love this book because it bring in the historical fiction with a romance that blooms though out the book.

Erika Kehlet (21 KP) rated A Star-Reckoner's Lot (A Star-Reckoner's Legacy, #1) in Books
Feb 21, 2018
A Star-Reckoner's Lot was unlike anything I have read before. This story was part historical fiction, part fantasy, and all adventure. I was not at all familiar with pre-Islamic Iranian culture and lore before reading this book. The author didn't waste words on excessive description, or spell everything out for the reader, but it was easy enough to figure out what was going on just by following Ashtadukht, Tirdadin, and Waray across the sands as they hunt for the mystical being that killed Ashtadukht's husband. Fantasy lovers, historical fiction fans, and anyone who likes a good story should really enjoy this book.
