Christine A. (965 KP) rated Sex in the Name of God in Books
Dec 9, 2018
The book is not one that I was able to read in one or two sittings. I read a chapter at a time with long breaks in between as I usually read short stories.
Each topic covered is done with humor. Yet, the author is able to do so while being respectful. It is a very thin line and he walks it carefully. I would not recommend this book to anyone who is extremely religious or anyone who does not think religion should be discussed in a humorous way. For all others, this is worth checking out. My favorite idea discussed is "the only upside is the knowledge that family dysfunction is an intended norm." (page 6). Good to know. We're normal!

This book is beautiful. Juliet Marillier is truly a master at weaving a story. This book was recommended to me by my sister and I cannot believe that it took me this long to finally read it. A couple years ago, I did a reading challenge where I asked my family and close friends what book they would want me to read. Naturally, my sister chose the first in this series with the knowledge that I would relate better to the second. I'm glad that I took the time to listen to the audiobook of this novel. The narrator was wonderful and truly made the series come alive. For the past two days, I have actually gone out of my way to listen to the book when normally I would just listen to it on my drive into work.
The characters in this book are spectacular. I loved how Juliet Marillier captured the anguish, joy, and all the emotions in between. I fell in love with the relationships that were written in this series. The characters were realistic and had great depth to them.
If you're looking for a beautiful fantasy with some romance, this is the book for you. Seriously, you need to read this book.
As I’ve said before, I’m a sucker for quizzes and trivia. I do enjoy watching the Tenable tv show, although not as much as other quiz shows mainly because of the horrendously cringey scripted jokes that Warwick Davis comes out with. However fortunately you can skip these whilst playing on the app. I was concerned about how the app would work, as the show is reliant on contestants knowledge on a subject, whereas the app has to offer multiple choice. I had thought the use of multiple choice would make the game ridiculously easy, but believe me it doesn’t. All of the choices given are sensible viable options, and unless you know a subject 100%, there is a lot of margin for error. Which is good, as it makes me more difficult. I’ve often played this and can’t believe that the options I’ve chosen aren’t in the top 10. The only way this makes it easier for you is when you know absolutely nothing about a subject, as you’ve at least got a chance of picking a few right options just from pure chance.
This is quite a fun and addictive game, and much better than watching the show.

I received a free copy of Close to You in my "Swag Bag" from Christian Fiction Readers Retreat, Nashville, 2016. I was not required to write a review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.

I absolutely loved this book and could not put it down. It was so exciting, with many amazing unexpected turns. I can not tell you how many times I gasped with the shock of some of the things happening.
I find that books often have bad endings but I was not at all disappointed by the ending of ‘see how they lie.’
I have now read all of Sue Wallman’s books and I can not tell you how much I love them. I am so shocked that her books are not more popular. I always find myself unable to put her books down.
