When Will There Be Good News?: A Novel

20 reviews
Kate Atkinson

Little, Brown and Company, 2008

Compelling People and Stories
This is the 3rd book in the Jackson Brodie - retired policeman series - but it is much more than that. I would recommend these to be read in order - this is similar to Tony Hillerman's in that there is a continuing development of the main character and certain other persons and that adds to the enjoyment. I would say that Brodie and the associated characters play an even bigger roll in the ...

Taking a Bite out of Urban Fantasy!
I've read a lot of urban fantasy. Especially the kind with the tougher than nails women in cities full of vamps and werewolves . . . and this seemed like another one of the same. I was pleasantly surprised to find it's not. Oh it's got a tough female lead--Kate Daniels is a merc dealing with all sorts of paranormal nasties and not afraid to get her hands dirty. And it's got vampires, and ...

Tim Gunn: A Guide to Quality, Taste and Style (Tim Gunn's Guide to Style)

Tim Gunn, Kate Moloney

Abrams Image, 2007

Surprisingly Helpful
I looked at this book a couple of times at the bookstore but passed it by because it didn't have a lot of glitzy photographs. Then I ordred it anyway. To my surprise, it is chock full of great advice. Tim Gunn writes with humor and humility. He NEVER speaks down to the reader. In fact, he's very encouraging as he tells the reader to celebrate our flaws and to not be so hard on ourselves. He ...

Razorbill, 2008

Surprisingly fantastic
So, I grew up with Mary Kate and Ashley, watched Full House and bought their movies. But, kids grow up. I outgrew them, they seemingly outgrew their targeted demographic and for anyone who paid attention to them, it was obvious. Forward through their attempt at NYU to now. Ashley has all but dropped acting and now heads the Row, which is really fantastic. She has captured how to make ...

Love, Forgiveness, and Bravery
The Tale of Despereaux This is a tale of forgiveness, when forgiveness is hard; love, through all the storms in life, and light through all the darkness. Despereaux, a small mouse with large ears, wasn't interested in nibbling on the large books in the castle, along with his sister. Instead, he began reading wonderful stories about princesses, knights in shining armor and ...

Friday Night Knitting Club
I really enjoyed this book. It was fairly predictable throughout, though there were a few unexpected twists. The message seemed to be that we can't run away from our family, and family love overcomes all other.

Scholastic Paperbacks, 1996

Values for today from a tale of 1627
This is a wonderful, wonderful book. It will help you teach your children about hard work, perseverance, and family. My children want it read to them again and again. Young Samuel Eaton (a historical character) is looking forward to his first chance to help his father bring in the crops. He finds the work incredibly hard, and the coarse grain raises bad blisters on his hands. But he ...

An incredible, beautiful book
I've been waiting for this book to come out and it's finally here! I write a food blog about Italian cooking and I absolutely love this beautiful book. A16 is an Italian restaurant in San Francisco which prides itself on cooking authentic food from the Campania region of Italy. It is named after the highway that connects Naples to Puglia, the "A-16". This is the highway from which the owners ...

Candlewick, 2007

Beautiful story-a must read for all ages!
This is a beautiful story that will tug on your heart strings. Edward Tulane will cause you to reflect deeply on the condition of the human heart and it blantedly shows the selfishness that hides there. A story of the transformation of the heart, it truly is a miraculous journey worth taking! I recommend this book for the young and old alike.

Max's Words
I bought this book because I thought it was cute (the cover intrigued me). I took it to my classroom to share with my lst grade students. They got so excited about it that they thought our class should start a word collection. So I drug out old magazines & newspapers and we began to clip and save the most fascinating words we could find. Then we decided that we should try to invent some ...

Magic Burns (Kate Daniels, Book 2)

Ilona Andrews

Ace, 2008

Very enjoyable read
I really liked this book and will read the others in the series. There is a good mix of action, humor, and plot. Character development could be a bit better and more characters would make this a broader deeper book, but for a short quick read it is excellent.

Couldn't Put it Down!!
I loved this book!! Morton told a great story and I felt transported to another time and place. I have always enjoyed this genre of fiction and Morton does not disappoint. I couldn't put it down. Some of the plot twists were predictable but some were not. I also read the Thirteenth Tale that this has been to compared to.... I liked this equally as much if not more. I can't wait to see what ...

Jossey-Bass, 2006

Great book for "almost teens"
I got this book for my 10 year old son. It is a good book with all the "needed" information, but yet isn't too detailed on things they don't need to know about YET. It was very well written & I think it a good starting point for families w/young boys.
