The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated The First Emma in Books

Oct 7, 2020

4.5/5 stars

If you've never heard of Emma Koehler, then you know nothing about the beer industry in San Antonio Texas. But even if that subject matter doesn't interest you, Emma should, because she had both a fascinating and tragic life. Camille Di Maio does a lovely job of taking little to no information about this real-life personality and turning it into a biographical, historical, women's fiction novel.

Book Rating

I've never read anything by Bernard Cornwell, but I have heard good things about him.

This probably wasn't the best book of his to start with, I didn't read any reviews prior to starting this. Had I, I probably would have opted out.

The novel is centered around Shakespeare's younger brother, and A Midsummer Night's Dream. Richard Shakespeare wasn't a really interesting character, and had an insta-love story, in the middle of the mystery of the stolen plays.

Overall, just meh. Maybe I'll attempt to read something else by Cornwell? Maybe not.

AT (1676 KP) rated My Sister, the Serial Killer in Books

Oct 8, 2019

As frustrating as this novel was, I enjoyed the read. It was such a quick read, too. I still haven't sorted out how I feel about the ending, as I just closed the book. The sister is a definite sociopath, which causes a world of stress and hardship for her older sister, who is constantly cleaning up her messes. I thought this book was interesting, unique, and wildly upsetting, all at the exact same time. I appreciated the easy read, while requiring a deeper level of emotion and thought at the same time.

Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief review

This book is such an amazing, attention gripping story about the adventure of half blood Percy Jackson. The link between the real world and the fantasy world of Greek mythology makes this novel stand out amongst others, it makes the whole plot of the story much more exciting as well as being educational about Greek beliefs in mythology.
