The Night Sister by Jennifer McMahon

The Night Sister by Jennifer McMahon

First Impressions: The Night Sisters is first perceived as a murder/police procedural novel; a genre I eat up — bring it on! Novel Impressions: I have mixed feelings about The Night Sister by Jennifer McMahon. Like the The One I Left Behind this novel is told in flashbacks of Amy’s mother Rose and the events […]

Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett

Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett

Plot: I liked the plot, the idea of a dragon overtaking a community was very interesting to me and held my attention throughout. Characters: I loved the characters, especially Vimes and Carrot. Carrot’s naiveté,  sense of taking things literally and by the book kept me smiling. As for Vimes, he was on the straight and narrow […]

Turn To Page 394 Tuesday #1

Similar to Friday 56, Turn to Page 394 requires turning to page 394 and sharing a sentence, passage or whatever strikes your fancy on that particular page.
