I have read a few books by Harry Manners and have enjoyed them all but The Ruin Saga just leaves me wanting more. I would compare it to S.M. Stirling's Change books which are some of my favorite. Mr. Manners does such a good job with character development that you feel that you actually know these people an are invested in what happens to them. Brink continues the story that was left off in Ruin and is just as good if not better. My only gripe is that I have to wait for more.

Supernatural, love and annoying family
Excellent book with a new angle on the supernatural set. I’ve read this book and the remainder in the series many times. Under lying stories with twists and turns, all the while following Victorian morals and manners,

[Harry Manners] remains one of my favorite authors. [Fray] is the third installment in [The Ruin Saga] and picked up just where [Brink] left off. As Norman and his crew follow Billy to stop the world from ending completely.

[Manners] really knows how to tell a story as well as weave in and out of the past and present without losing the audience. This is a skill not all authors can say they possess. If you have not experienced any of the books this man has written and like adventure on a cerebral level what are you waiting for?

I received this copy of Strangled Eggs and Ham friends m Kensington through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I really liked this mystery! The characters were charming! The villain was discovered because of their bad manners. (Least spoilery way to put it)

James Bond Replacement?
Great castings! There were plenty action and some parts do pull at your heartstrings (I'm looking at you Mr. Pickles and you too Harry!). The new take on a spy movie was great. The jokes didn't fall flat. "Manners Maketh Man". Now go and watch it!

Crazy action scenes
Manners maketh man
A real surprise hit along the lines of an alternative Bond film. Ruder, violent, and funnier than most Bond films or other spoofs of. It's made so well with an all star cast, some cool action scenes and bonkers plot, make it highly entertaining. Can't wait for the sequel.

The Adventures of Forkman: What's That Noise? (Book 2)

Book Rating
This book is about learning about table manners or table distractions. Children can learn about loading the dishwasher and learning about distractions at the table from their friend Forkman. This is the second book of “The adventures of Forkman: What that Noise?”

We meet up with Kathryn and William. They are taught how to load a dishwasher the right way. The book does this in a way to show how children can do some things with help. Manners matter is true. The family learns about other table manners that they should not do at the table at dinner.

The pictures are really cute. I like the idea of a Forkman being the one to teach the family and children. I am interested in knowing what Forkman and his friends will teach Kathryn and William next time. Though I would love to read book one of this series. Find out what children were taught in book 1.

The book is set for children but it is good for all ages. We could all learn about mealtime etiquette. We could all learn how to load a dishwasher correctly. Parents should have this book on their bookshelves for their children along with book one. Children or a child will want to read about The Adventures of Forkman.

Book Favorite

"Americanah is a dramatic romance and a coming-of-age story, a class narrative and a comedy of manners. I first read it in 2013 and I was struck with how exactly I related to Adichie’s depiction of the contemporary African immigrant experience. She captures it, expresses it, analyzes it and celebrates it. It’s a story begging to be experienced visually."

Book Favorite

"The author says she asked, ‘What does it take for a woman not to be defeated when everything around her is telling her to sit down and mind her manners?’ Kadish answered the question by writing a superb novel. Reading it, I gasped out loud more than once with the sheer joy at Kadish’s use of language and intricacy of thought."
