The detective is in the hospital with a broken leg, and the murder he's investigating happened several centuries earlier. Did Richard III really have his nephews killed, as everyone seems to believe, or was he maligned? This is a historical thesis dis ...more |

3.5 stars. We get to know the gnomes better. It's fun that they're so plantlike. With this series and the Harry Potters, I'm frequently struck by how advanced us regular humans are, compared to the magical kind. Like, we don't need couriers/owls to d ...more |

| Fun mystery, set during WWII. There were a couple of corpses, a lot of live characters, and a plot so complicated, I didn't really understand what was going on. The villains' motivations seemed thin. ...more | |

“You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive.”

“This sentence has five words. Here are five more words. Five-word sentences are fine. But several together become monotonous. Listen to what is happening. The writing is getting boring. The sound of it drones. It’s like a stuck record. The ear demands some variety. Now listen. I vary the sentence length, and I create music. Music. The writing sings. It has a pleasant rhythm, a lilt, a harmony. I use short sentences. And I use sentences of medium length. And sometimes, when I am certain the reader is rested, I will engage him with a sentence of considerable length, a sentence that burns with energy and builds with all the impetus of a crescendo, the roll of the drums, the crash of the cymbals–sounds that say listen to this, it is important.”
