Morgan Sheppard (1037 KP) created a post

There's something I love about a character who holds a clear vision of the world they want to help build. Harri carries that quality throughout DAFFODILS AND DREAMS. 🦢 He's a man on the threshold of kingship who hasn't lost sight of what matters, and the quest at the heart of this story grows naturally from who he is.

Ffion wasn't expecting to be moved by any of it, and I think that's what I enjoyed most about writing her. She arrives with her own sacred role to fulfil and her own quietly formidable sense of self, and the romance that unfolds between them is all the more tender for being unexpected. 🌿

As a retelling of Little Briar Rose, it carries the familiar shape of the tale, but the heart of it belongs entirely to these two. 💙

The fourth instalment in the Brodyr Alarch series, it continues a journey that began with SEALED WITH A CURSE, and I hope it feels like a worthy chapter in that larger story.

What do you love most about fairytale retellings that take the romance seriously?

This will stay on my bookshelf!!
I normally give books away after I've read them unless I love them, and this book, well, I really did love it. Such a touching, funny, sad story. I loved how the story's told through a series of letters from the main character, Juliet, and some of the inhabitants of Guernsey. We get a glimpse of what life had been like under German occupation during World War II, and how the people of Guernsey rebuilt their lives after the end of the war. There's a tiny bit of romance too, but not too much. It's such a shame that this was the only book that Mary Ann Shaffer wrote, but I suppose it does prove the point that most people have a book in them to write!

Call Me A Fangirl
Is this the greatest Marvel film of all time? Honestly no. that being said this is brilliant adaptation of spiderman. It's got back to it roots, of being a young kid who happeneds to develop superhuman powers there no long drawn out love story which takes over the whole film. Yes there is a love interest but it not the main thing. The comedy in this film was outstanding. Tom Holland prefoance was brilliant the side characters was entertaing and exciting. Obviously Robert Downey Jnr just adds that extra to an already brilliant film. To the critic that say marvel have had it day you obviously aren't watching what I am. To the creator of the final end credit scence well played.
