I finished Jonathan’s Story last night and it felt somewhat like watching (or, in my case, listening) to a Friday episode and immediately being able to watch the Monday episode. A murder is committed, but it isn’t nearly as wanton as I had hoped. That being said, it was deserved from a vigilante justice perspective. [...]
#40 ~ Jonathan’s Story; Part 2
26 Sep By 2 Comments
I’ve now read through chapter 23 and there is a new lead in the “Who did Reva and Alan kill” mystery: Keith. Yay! Wouldn’t it be nice to live vicariously through Reva for that one? Okay. I know that this book is a guilty pleasure and not much more “literary” than a dime romance. Still, [...]

Today I’ve been catching up on my Guiding Light episodes so that I don’t get hit broadsided while reading Jonathan’s Story.

In seriousness, she said that she would not want to go into the past to be any historical character before 1920 when women got the [...]

My husband is often a wealth of knowledge for me. He just sent me an email today letting me know that emusic is now offering audiobook downloads as an add-on to their monthly music subscriptions. What impressed me the most about this is the types of books and the breadth of options they have. I [...]
Jonathan’s Story An Update

You want a piece of me? As much as I try to not think about Jonathan’s Story, I knew the second that I woke up yesterday morning that today was “the” day. The book is in the book stores. I checked the reviews, and I could only find two on Amazon.com. One liked it one [...]

17 Sep By 2 Comments
At the end of the wonderful live webcast yesterday, Philippa Gregory launched her new website. It is very nice and much more attractive than the original. It now has a UK and a US version. There are some new things available as well (or at least new to me), including a new newsletter and a [...]
