Otherwise, I'm in two critique groups and I'll take a break and critique one of my partners' chapters, that often inspires me to continue writing.
Thumbing through a research book will often help inspire me.(less)

Sometimes--though purists frown on it--I even rewrite history to suit my story.

This is an easy read with growing suspense toward the end. I knew who the villain was right away, so that was no surprise. Amelie seemed capable and naive at the same time. She was a bit reckless in places. I liked her growing relationship with Detec ...more

This was a pleasant, interesting read for the most part. There were a couple of incidents that didn't make sense, but I can't name them as it might give the plot away. A few twists were surprising while others were not. Phyllis could be annoying, but ...more

This was a charming read with many interesting characters. I'd liked to have known more about Carl. And why did Sabine behave the way she did? Schascha was a firecracker of a nine-year-old, lonely yet intuitive. The friendships that developed were sw ...more

This story is a YA, which I didn't know when I chose it. That explains the simplistic prose. There is little character development, but it kept my interest. There is a surprising twist toward the end, thus the four stars. But there were many plot hol ...more

It wasn't as suspenseful as I'd hoped. And my main issue was one character supposedly had a dark aura, and wasn't who you thought they were, but that mostly fell flat. It did keep me reading, however, though I'd figured out the twist. ...more

Charming but dated. Anne is an overly talkative character, but she grew on me. I thought this was going to be a story of a sweet orphan; however, Anne has many faults that she must overcome. That made her more interesting. I was also a child with a w ...more

The Bad Daughter by Joy Fielding

Such a disappointment. I've read two other Joy Fielding books and was carried away with the suspense. This book had too little of that. Bland characters and mundane situations, other than the horrible murder, slowed the narrative. The big reveal wasn ...more

This book is epic, as others say, but far too long and often rambling. The main character overthinks everything. I found only a couple of similarities to David Copperfield (a fantastic read). But, it's still worth reading for the parts that are absor ...more
