Read, Rant and Rock and Roll - The Frightened Little Flower Bud Read, Rant and Rock and Roll - Just Around the Bend 5 stars = something resonated with me.Īuthor Interviews, Articles and Questionnaires are at: I rate/review books that have given me pause for thought. I invite you to join me on my journey, questioning the society we call ours and the role we play within it. I’m convinced that if we want to change our lives and change our world then we must first change ourselves. In my books, I take an honest look at our quirky and often bizarre behaviour in society and challenge the status-quo we accept as unchangeable - questioning and pushing the boundaries we set ourselves, and those that have been set for us. It was around that time that I began searching for meaning in my life and had a profound experience - a realisation that we’re all connected we’re One. Many years ago I wrote my autobiography - probably more as therapy than anything else - but life continued happening to me and I got to thinking, what good will this story do, isn’t there enough misery in the world without me adding to it? I subsequently burnt the manuscript. 'Self-reflection', 'Know Thyself' and 'Semi-autobiography'

I am still emotionsl after reading this book, and probably will be for a while. Tim Conigrave has ripped the blackout blinds from the window - exposing a beautiful and intimate world constantly pummelled by prejudice. I love it for its raw honesty and its heartbreaking truth. But there is so much genuine love and affection too. Holding the man : adapted from the book by Timothy Conigrave / Tommy Murphy London : Nick Hern Books, 2010 116 p. It is written from the heart, so the reader is plunged into the fire and forced to feel the pain and injustice experienced by the author. Suddenly they are thrown into a dark world of survival and rejection, forbidden love and personal feelings mixed in with shame, religious beliefs and condemnation. The teenagers sound so independent and self-sufficient, and they know how to have fun! This makes the harsh reactions to the lads coming out, even more stark. Despite the tragic undercurrent of the book, there’s something wonderful about the relaxed and carefree lives Tim Conigrave and his friends were able to lead. I was immersed from the start, and loved the glimpse of Australia from the 1970’s and beyond. This book was beautifully read by Stephen Phillips, who spoke with such feeling throughout. The author does such a great job of describing the family relationships between characters. In the spirit of no spoilers, I will stop there. This ignites her curiosity, as the woman is visibly pregnant and looking very much in love. While gathering these items, Beth finds an old picture of Max and a woman, who is NOT her mother. When his declining health can no longer be ignored, he requests that Beth bring him his war memorabilia to get into order. When the story begins, we find ourselves in 2007 California, where Max is living in a private care home. Runyan’s latest beauty is told through three points of view: Max, a dual timeline story within itself, once a dentist-turned-medic in the second world war and now as a 90 year old in poor health Johanna, a young woman living in Germany during the war, whose family is deeply affected by Hitler’s reign and present day through Beth, Max’s daughter. Such an amazing author and a very warm person! We loved being able to take turns asking questions and she was so gracious to spend part of her Sunday afternoon with us! Runyan joined us via Skype to discuss her book, “Girls on the Line”. Back in March of 2019, my book club, Between the Covers, celebrated its 5th birthday. She is married to author and bookseller Libby Ware. She is a member of the Atlanta Writers Club and the Georgia Writers Association and a fellow of the Hambidge Center for Creative Arts and Sciences.

As they team up to find a killer and a missing manuscript, they discover that their feelings for each other are growing into more than friendship.

When booksellers Molly O’Donnell and Emma Clarke meet at an estate sale in the posh Sherwood Forest neighborhood of Atlanta, they are both there for the books. I thank Rick Summie for sending me a copy of Murder at the Estate Sale by Lily Charles at no charge for my honest review. Once in a blue moon I like to stray from my no murder story rule with a cozy mystery – they don’t inturrupt my sleep like hard thrillers do. The Infinity Concerto is a fantasy masterpiece by the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of the Forerunner Saga, Eon, and other imaginative classics. The music's otherworldly tones have led Michael through the gate between Earth and the Realm of the Sidhedark, where faeries reign by rule of magic - and where Michael must find his muse if he's ever to return home. Never meant to be heard by human ears, its melody is as captivating as a siren's call, its notes ring out like a death knell, and its rhythms shake the very foundations of reality. Waltiri's composition is a song of power. Tor Books, 24. The concerto Opus 45, Infinity left its listeners entranced, altered to the very core of their souls.
