This was my first time reading a novel written by Wynne-Jones. I like his easy-to-read writing style. "The Emperor..." is unique, thought-provoking (could this be real?) cleverly crafted to weave back and forth from present day to a war-torn time and kept my interest. Very nice flow chapter to chapter and realistic, moving character relationships through to the end. So many books have a limp, disappointing ending -- this one did not.

Episode 10: Goldfinch and the Cat. I was surprised that I hadn’t seen this earlier Montalbano episode before. It was very well done and a nice surprise to see the female detective filling in for Mimi when he is getting married. Two interesting plots. Montalbano and his squad deliver another enjoyable performance. The Dectective Montalbano series is a favorite and I purchased all the books. I first started watching the TV episodes on public TV and loved seeing the humor. Its very fun how the author has incorporated Salvo’s love of food into many of the episodes and the books. I love viewing the fabulous Sicilian scenery especially the significant stone arcitecture and homes by the seaside.Episode 10: Goldfinch and the Cat.

Found this on my Completed List and had forgotten to leave a comment for reference. Didn't recall the story until I reviewed other comments.
Yes — this fantasy story has many facets that parallel reality and display human nature — Richard stops to help someone, but his fiancee is completely oblivious to the girl’s apparent suffering. It is bizarre and interesting, with some very creepy and frightening characters. I do enjoy stories that take place in London. Falling into a strange underground world made the story both scary and intriguing. May read again sometime. . .Found this on my Completed List and had forgotten to leave a comment for reference.

Waiting a long time for the DVD to become available and it was worth the wait. Suspenseful and engaging Dectective series, set in Austrailia, with a very charming lead Dectective, Eve Winter. Would like to see another season come available on DVD.Waiting a long time for the DVD to become available and it was worth the wait.

Well done. Only came across a little odd to me with German language in a Swedish location. Refreshing in that although one is watching a series about murder, the plots and scenes didn't seem as gruesomely portrayed as in some Swedish crime series.

Perfect title and the cover art caught my eye when looking for a book about sleep. I have been a Sierra Club member for many years. Even though “Do Not Disturb” is written with the younger reader in mind, as an adult, I found it fascinating because I love all animals and the topics of various styles of hibernation and sleep, as well as food needs, breathing and body temperature changes are very interesting. I live in the city and often see squirrels and occasionally a possum and a few raccoons near the river or wooded parks, and wonder where they are in winter months. So cool to learn about birds and bats too as well as sea mammals. The variety of animals included is comprehensive. Love that the book includes many beautiful renderings of animals. I wouldn't mind owning this book and reading it again sometime. It would be a nice gift for a young reader.Perfect title and the cover art caught my eye when looking for a book about sleep.

Title caught my eye. Uniquely written as she bravely exposes, to the reader, her raw inner self in her therapy, and tells heart-wrenching and inspiring stories of her patients (anonymously) and explains so much about the therapy process. The book is a great read and provided me insights into myself. So absorbing that I stayed up late several nights reading it.Title caught my eye.
