With impeccable exactitude, no facts, no details, none if the timeline, not the characters are mismatched. Furthermore, these accounts are sold separately, in different chapters- a difficult thing to do. ![]() The author is able to successfully write from different points of view- something many adult books cannot get right. My favorite thing about this novel is its structure. And now this one, which holds its own among them. How could I not fall in love with this book? The only other two fictional books that I have read set entirely in the Candy World are "True Confections" by Katherine Weber and, of course, "Charlie and The Chocolate Factory" by Roald Dahl. But, it is a fantasy world filled with candy, after all. Some of the plot was rather unbelievable it all came together a little too easily.

On that note, the only real problems I had were the same reasons this was not targeted to me. The only complaint I have about The Candymakers is due to the fact that these books are unfortunately targeted towards young adult readers rather than adults that are young at heart. ![]() This book reminds me why I always tell fellow readers to give young adult books a chance. ![]() ![]() ![]() Casey would also like to stick to business, but as the case intensifies she finds herself also watching Tori and Sam and wondering how they balance their public personas and private passions.

Indeed, Alanna was not the first Lady Knight hundreds of years before, women could earn their shields without having to hide who they were. ![]() Beka lives in the dark time spoken of in one of the Alanna books when every sword, whether held by a man or a woman, was needed. It’s the story of Beka Cooper, a Lower City girl and member of the Provost’s Guard who lives centuries before Alanna the Lioness and those characters of her world known to fans of Tamora Pierce’s other work. This might be my new favorite of hers (though it still might be beat out by the Song of the Lioness quartet–it’s close), which is certainly saying a lot. TERRIER is the latest from a brilliant author whose earlier works you’ve got to read if you haven’t already! My expectations for this book, as it is by Tamora Pierce, were, of course, quite high, and I was not disappointed. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is a result of the incarnation and what He came to earth to do on our behalf.

Reworking the “Alamo” framework, Gordon-Reed shows that the slave-and race-based economy not only defined this fractious era of Texas independence, but precipitated the Mexican-American War and the resulting Civil War. Interweaving American history, dramatic family chronicle, and searing episodes of memoir, Annette Gordon-Reed, the descendant of enslaved people brought to Texas in the 1850s, recounts the origins of Juneteenth and explores the legacies of the holiday that remain with us.įrom the earliest presence of black people in Texas-in the 1500s, well before enslaved Africans arrived in Jamestown-to the day in Galveston on June 19, 1865, when General Gordon Granger announced the end of slavery, Gordon-Reed’s insightful and inspiring essays present the saga of a “frontier” peopled by Native Americans, Anglos, Tejanos, and Blacks that became a slaveholder’s republic.
