Father Tim is now sure of his feeling towards Cynthia, his neighbor, but is having trouble getting up the nerve to take the next step. Edith Mallory hovers like a dark cloud on the horizon, and there is some worry as to whether or not The Grill will be able to remain open after its rent is doubled. Add to this Buck Leeper, a job construction superintendent who can be very hostile, and that trouble that Dooley’s getting into, and you have a great Mitford story!
I couldn’t put this, or any other Mitford book down for anything, (unless you include eating, chores, and, well, maybe sleeping) and if I did put it down, I was back as soon as possible. In my review, I only covered a few of the things going on. Mitford is a great series, and this is a great book.

Father Tim is the local rector in the small town of Mitford, living a normal life. Well, as normal as life can be with a dog the size of a Buick following you, a potentially valuable painting, a mysterious break-in, a hostile young boy arriving at your doorstep, a new neighbor, and an epic dinner party.
Once you enter the world of Mitford, you’ll never want to leave! The characters are so real, and everything is written in a humorous light. Jan Karon possesses a rare talent of making you actually laugh out loud while reading. When you finish this book, you’ll have to grab the next one, wishing the series never ended.

When Polly Milton comes to stay with her cousin, Fanny Shaw and her wealthy family in the city, they find her old-fashioned ways to be unusual and strange. Polly wonders if she’ll ever be able to fit it, but then wonders which is better. Soon, the Shaws to realize that, even though Polly isn’t up to date on the social aspect of things, her genuine happiness and concern for others set her apart in a special way.
Another good Louisa May Alcott. Oh, and even though I categorized it as a long read, it isn’t a very long read. And it’s almost as if you could separate the book into two, because about halfway through, it skips ahead to six years later. This is definitely a book worth reading.

The emperor of the Island of Sampetra, Ublaz Madeyes, will stop at nothing to capture The Tears of all Oceans, six perfect pink pearls. His mad quest for them brings his general, Lask Frildur, a monitor lizard, and his army right into Mossflower Wood. When Lask captures the Abbot of Redwall, it is up to Martin to go across the sea, rescue the Abbot and slay Emperor Ublaz!
This is a great book! Lots of riddles, a great tongue twister and plenty of action. In case you’re wondering, this is not the original Martin. If you’ve read Redwall, you’ll remember that there was the first Martin, then Matthias, Mattimeo, and now Martin II, Mattimeo’s son.

Joraiem Andira, a young man skilled with the bow, is preparing to leave his home in Dal Harat and journey to Sulare where his training as one of the Novaana will begin. He will join with others like him in the battle against Malek, the greatest of the Titans whose betrayal brought death to his Titan brothers and destruction to Kirthanin. With memorable characters such as Valzaan the blind prophet, Wylla, Caan and Aljeron and his battle brother, Koshti, Joraiem strives to fulfill his destiny.
A truly remarkable book. L. B. Graham’s vivid imagination, woven together with adventure, suspense, and tragedy, makes an amazing story. It’s written in a style similar to Tolkien and I found it to be every bit as enjoyable. I must say that the ending was rather disappointing, but I don’t want to give anything away, so that’s all I’ll say about that. Reading it was quite an experience and by the time I finished it I was emotionally exhausted, but it was definitely worth the read.
