A Breath of Snow and Ashes

A Breath of Snow and Ashes (Outlander, #6)A Breath of Snow and Ashes by Diana Gabaldon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

With the revolutionary war coming to a head, life is turbulent for those in Fraser's Ridge. Jamie, Claire, Roger, Bree, and Ian make some tough choices in this book that will end up changing their lives forever. And as the time draws nearer for that newspaper clipping claiming that Jamie and Claire die in a fire, everyone holds their breaths to see what is going to happen.

I loved this book just as I loved the others. My only problem with Ms. Gabaldon's books is that because they're so long, if I don't keep my facts straight, the books start running together. This book got a bit slow for me in the middle, I don't know why, but I had to put it down for a while, and ended up reading another book, but as soon as I picked it back up, I finished it in two days. Go figure.

The writing style is as always, genius. Ms. Gabaldon knows her history, and it really shines through in her work. Pick up this series if you haven't yet. As I said, the books are a bit long, about 1000 pages each, but you won't be sorry!!!

Books vs. Movies

It's time to do a books vs. movies entry. I was at Barnes & Noble yesterday, hoping to spend some of a gift card that a good friend got me for the holiday, and I happened to come across a rack called "In the Theater." Needless to say, it was a rack of books that have recently been made into movies and are now showing in theaters. So, since I have lately noticed that lots of books are getting made into movies, I want to know if any of you have seen any of the recent movies, or are planning to, and how they are? There are several I'd like to see for sure, and I've been known in the past to go see films that have been made into books. So, let's discuss: 1. Anna Karenina- Leo Tolstoy 2. Silver Linings Playbook- Matthew Quick 3. Warm Bodies- Issac Marion 4. Beautiful Creatures- Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl 5. The Host- Stephenie Meyer 6. The Hobbit- J.R.R. Tolkein 7. Les Miserables- Victor Hugo 8. On the Road- Jack Kerouac 9. City of Bones-Cassandra ...

When Beauty Tamed the Beast

When Beauty Tamed the Beast by Eloisa James My rating: 5 of 5 stars Eloisa James has done it again in this retelling of the classic fairy tail of Beauty and the Beast. Piers is the Earl of Marchant, an angry, bitter man who has a leg injury and therefore uses a cane. He's also a doctor. He has three "under" doctors, and one friend, in this case his cousin, who also helps him. If you've ever watched a certain show on FOX, this is sounding familiar to you. Eloisa James totally based the character of Piers on Dr. Gregory House. I love it! Linnet is the classic beauty, men want her, women hate her or want to be her, because she's so beautiful and perfect. But when she gets thrown over by the Prince, and she wears a gown to a ball that makes her look like she's expecting, her reputation is ruined, and no man will have her... until her Aunt shows up with an idea. Since the Earl of Marchant is reputed to be incapable of fathering children, and lo and behold, here...
