Lord of Darkness by Elizabeth Hoyt

lord darkness.jpg

Title: Lord of Darkness (Maiden Lane #5)

Author: Elizabeth Hoyt

Publisher: Grand Central 2013

Genre: Romance

Pages: 385

Rating: 5/5 stars

Reading Challenges: Perpetual - NPR Romance

WHEN STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT

He lives in the shadows. As the mysterious masked avenger known as the Ghost of St. Giles, Godric St. John's only goal is to protect the innocent of London. Until the night he confronts a fearless young lady pointing a pistol at his head-and realizes she is his wife . . .

BECOME LOVERS . . .

Lady Margaret Reading has vowed to kill the Ghost of St. Giles-the man who murdered her one true love. Returning to London, and to the man she hasn't seen since their wedding day, Margaret does not recognize the man behind the mask. Fierce, commanding, and dangerous, the notorious Ghost of St. Giles is everything she feared he would be-and so much more . . .

DESIRE IS THE ULTIMATE DANGER

When passion flares, these two intimate strangers can't keep from revealing more of themselves than they had ever planned. But when Margaret learns the truth-that the Ghost is her husband-the game is up and the players must surrender . . . to the temptation that could destroy them both.

Another very satisfying historical romance. I am really enjoying this series so much! Hoyt has crafted great characters, steamy scenes, and great mysteries in every book. I really did enjoy Margaret and Godric (more than Hero and Griffin!). I enjoyed encountering some of our previous characters again and seeing where they are now. (Seriously Lord Caire has an adorable daughter named Annalise? I couldn’t handle the cuteness!) I was hoping that Godric turned out to be a more interesting character than we had previously encountered and I was correct. I can’t wait tor read the next book.

Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

Gods.jpg

Title: Gods of Jade and Shadow

Author: Silvia Moreno-Garcia

Publisher: Del Rey

Genre: Fantasy

Pages: 384

Rating: 5/5 stars

Reading Challenges: Unread Shelf Project; Monthly Theme - May

The Jazz Age is in full swing, but Casiopea Tun is too busy cleaning the floors of her wealthy grandfather’s house to listen to any fast tunes. Nevertheless, she dreams of a life far from her dusty small town in southern Mexico. A life she can call her own. 

Yet this new life seems as distant as the stars, until the day she finds a curious wooden box in her grandfather’s room. She opens it—and accidentally frees the spirit of the Mayan god of death, who requests her help in recovering his throne from his treacherous brother. Failure will mean Casiopea’s demise, but success could make her dreams come true.

In the company of the strangely alluring god and armed with her wits, Casiopea begins an adventure that will take her on a cross-country odyssey from the jungles of Yucatán to the bright lights of Mexico City—and deep into the darkness of the Mayan underworld.

I absolutely loved Moreno-Garcia’s latest work, Mexican Gothic, and was extra excited that Girly Book Club chose this one for September’s book. It’s a very different book, but still such an amazingly told story. This is a fantasy/fairy tale-esque journey. Casiopea immediately grabbed hold of my heart and didn’t let go. I wanted to see everything good happen to here but knew that there would be danger along the path. Thankfully she was a protector/guide of sorts with a Mayan god of death. I loved seeing how they both changed and grew while on the journey. And the last setting in the underworld was a perfect way to conclude the journey. I loved learning more about Mayan stories and myths as well as more modern Mexican culture. Highly recommend.

Currently-2.png

Reading: Lovely War by Julie Berry - one of my Modern Mrs. Darcy Summer Reading Guide choices

Watching: We’re close to finishing S2 of The Orville. Pretty darn good.

Listening: Arthur has really been enjoying The Radio Adventures of Dr. Floyd. Such a fun radio play!

Making: It’s apple season! We’re going apple picking on Thursday and I’m lining up all the apple recipes. First up is definitely apple crumb with homemade caramel sauce.

Feeling: After the last few weeks, I’ve been feeling really weird. Grief is a strange thing to get a grasp on.

Planning: There will be no trick-or-treating for my family this year. We’re just not willing to take the risk. Instead, I’m planning some kind of Easter Egg hunt activity (but with Halloween stuff of course), spooky movie marathon, possible glow stick dance party, and maybe some other fun things…

Loving: After multiple weeks of over 90 degree weather, we’re experiencing beautiful fall weather!

Homeschool W6-7: A Big Interruption

IMG_3615.jpeg

I ended up combining two different weeks into one post after we had to take an emergency trip over to Indiana. My father died a few weeks back and we traveled over to attend the funeral. My carefully set schedule went out the window for a few weeks as we traveled and came home. I made sure we took some curriculum just to keep busy, but mostly let our plans go for the time. We’re back home and getting back into schedule for the coming weeks.

Life Right Now #32

Right now I am: Getting ready to head to bed, but before that, I’m going to read more of my current historical romance novel.

Thinking and pondering: I should probably do a brain dump pretty soon.

On my bedside table: The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones, Lovely War by Julie Berry

On my tv this week: After returning, we catch up on the released episodes of The Boys, Lower Decks, and Archer.

Listening to: On the way back from Indiana, I listened to the rest of The Jane Austen Society by Natalie Jenner read by Richard Armitage. Very good listen. I also snuck in a few episodes of Presidential, Pod Save America, and Currently Reading.

On the menu for this week:

  • Monday - Chicken parmesan

  • Tuesday - Swahili Fish with coconut rice

  • Wednesday - Leftovers

  • Thursday - Cheesy Chicken and Broccoli Rice

  • Friday - Lebanese Green Stew

  • Saturday - Apple Grilled Cheese

  • Sunday - Chicken Tortilla Soup

On my to do list: I need tp pay a few bills, organize W9 resources, and probably a million other little things.

Happening this week: Hopefully this coming week, we will be back to normal for a schedule… I do need to go to the grocery store and we’ll probably make a library stop. Otherwise, I’m hoping to stay home and get back to normal and clean my darn house.

What I am creating: Not much at all. I do hope to get to creating Christmas cards this coming. I need to get moving if I want to make my own cards like I do every year.

My simple pleasures: A cool breeze, warm cinnamon rolls, pumpkin patches, Quentin snuggles and laughs.

Looking around the house: Things are still very trashed right now… I really need to just go room by room this week and get things straightened out.

From the camera: Happy Birthday Quentin! He turned 4 on Saturday.

The Jane Austen Society by Natalie Jenner

jane austen.jpg

Title: The Jane Austen Society

Author: Natalie Jenner

Publisher: St. Martin’s Press 2020

Genre: Historical Fiction

Pages: 320

Rating: 5/5 stars

Reading Challenges: MMD 2020

Just after the Second World War, in the small English village of Chawton, an unusual but like-minded group of people band together to attempt something remarkable.

One hundred and fifty years ago, Chawton was the final home of Jane Austen, one of England's finest novelists. Now it's home to a few distant relatives and their diminishing estate. With the last bit of Austen's legacy threatened, a group of disparate individuals come together to preserve both Jane Austen's home and her legacy. These people―a laborer, a young widow, the local doctor, and a movie star, among others―could not be more different and yet they are united in their love for the works and words of Austen. As each of them endures their own quiet struggle with loss and trauma, some from the recent war, others from more distant tragedies, they rally together to create the Jane Austen Society.

I listened to this one on audio (read by Richard Armitage!) and it was a delight. I enjoyed getting to know these delightful characters, all who love Jane Austen. Following their stories was interesting, but my favorite parts were every discussion about Jane Austen, her stories, and her characters. I wanted to see more of those conversations as the characters’ lives progressed. Adaline and Benjamin were my clear favorites, although Frances was also amazing. I just wanted to see all everyone get a happy ending. I was annoyed by the choice Adam made and Mimi’s relationship. But I guess those stories also ended well. The ending was very rushed (like usual), but the ending did leave me all warm and fuzzy inside.

Take a Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert

dani brown.jpg

Title: Take a Hint, Dani Brown (Brown Sisters #2)

Author: Talia Hibbert

Publisher: Avon 2020

Genre: Romance

Pages: 400

Rating: 4/5 stars

Reading Challenges: Ebook

Danika Brown knows what she wants: professional success, academic renown, and an occasional roll in the hay to relieve all that career-driven tension. But romance? Been there, done that, burned the T-shirt. Romantic partners, whatever their gender, are a distraction at best and a drain at worst. So Dani asks the universe for the perfect friend-with-benefits—someone who knows the score and knows their way around the bedroom. 

When big, brooding security guard Zafir Ansari rescues Dani from a workplace fire drill gone wrong, it’s an obvious sign: PhD student Dani and former rugby player Zaf are destined to sleep together. But before she can explain that fact to him, a video of the heroic rescue goes viral. Suddenly, half the internet is shipping #DrRugbae—and Zaf is begging Dani to play along. Turns out his sports charity for kids could really use the publicity. Lying to help children? Who on earth would refuse? 

Dani’s plan is simple: fake a relationship in public, seduce Zaf behind the scenes. The trouble is, grumpy Zaf is secretly a hopeless romantic—and he’s determined to corrupt Dani’s stone-cold realism. Before long, he’s tackling her fears into the dirt. But the former sports star has issues of his own, and the walls around his heart are as thick as his... um, thighs. 

The easy lay Dani dreamed of is now more complex than her thesis. Has her wish backfired? Is her focus being tested? Or is the universe just waiting for her to take a hint? 

Definitely better than the first book in terms of characterization. Dani is much more interesting and exciting character than Chloe. I really enjoyed her relationship with Zafir throughout the book. And Zafir was a great leading man. Their banter was delightful and kept me coming back for more. On the flip side, there were a few deficiencies. I needed more steamy scenes. There were hardly any at all in this volume! A travesty! And I would have liked to have seen more of Gigi. Still a nice fun contemporary rom com for my week.

The Holdout by Graham Moore

holdout.jpg

Title: The Holdout

Author: Graham Moore

Publisher: Random House 2020

Genre: Thriller

Pages: 336

Rating: 4/5 stars

Reading Challenges:

It’s the most sensational case of the decade. Fifteen-year-old Jessica Silver, heiress to a billion-dollar real estate fortune, vanishes on her way home from school, and her teacher, Bobby Nock, a twenty-five-year-old African American man, is the prime suspect. The subsequent trial taps straight into America’s most pressing preoccupations: race, class, sex, law enforcement, and the lurid sins of the rich and famous. It’s an open-and-shut case for the prosecution, and a quick conviction seems all but guaranteed—until Maya Seale, a young woman on the jury, convinced of Nock’s innocence, persuades the rest of the jurors to return the verdict of not guilty, a controversial decision that will change all their lives forever.

Flash forward ten years. A true-crime docuseries reassembles the jury, with particular focus on Maya, now a defense attorney herself. When one of the jurors is found dead in Maya’s hotel room, all evidence points to her as the killer. Now, she must prove her own innocence—by getting to the bottom of a case that is far from closed.

As the present-day murder investigation weaves together with the story of what really happened during their deliberation, told by each of the jurors in turn, the secrets they have all been keeping threaten to come out—with drastic consequences for all involved.

A very readable murder mystery / thriller / court room drama. I actually read half of it in one setting. The story really does pull the reader along and I needed to see what happened next. I was interested in the overall mystery and needed to find out the identity of the killer. I wondered about the second murder but was actually less interested in that. I wanted to find out Rick’s secret more than anything. The ending felt rushed and I wasn’t so excited about the reveal of Rick’s killer. I really wished that it had been something more sinister. I did enjoy the glimpse in the various juror’s lives, but wanted a bit more on that aspect. Overall a fun light read for a strange a week.

Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan

410tUCg8-dL._SY346_.jpg

Title: Crazy Rich Asians (Crazy Rich Asians #1)

Author: Kevin Kwan

Publisher: Anchor 2013

Genre: Fiction

Pages: 546

Rating: 3/5 stars

Reading Challenges: 

When New Yorker Rachel Chu agrees to spend the summer in Singapore with her boyfriend, Nicholas Young, she envisions a humble family home and quality time with the man she hopes to marry. But Nick has failed to give his girlfriend a few key details. One, that his childhood home looks like a palace; two, that he grew up riding in more private planes than cars; and three, that he just happens to be the country’s most eligible bachelor. 
 
On Nick’s arm, Rachel may as well have a target on her back the second she steps off the plane, and soon, her relaxed vacation turns into an obstacle course of old money, new money, nosy relatives, and scheming social climbers.

Hmmm… I wasn’t that excited about this one at all. I like the overall plot line, but the characters and writing style bothered me. The writing often switched perspective and was very juvenile at times. The descriptions of the settings were very interesting and lush. But when we focused on a character and especially dialogue, the writing style started to fall apart. The pages did not flow like I was expecting. Many of the characters were a bit boring and I just didn’t want to read about them. Lastly, I felt a little weird and icky reading about people who have more money than they know what to do with. It was very tone deaf at times.

Love and Death Among the Cheetahs by Rhys Bowen

love and death.jpg

Title: Love and Death Among the Cheetahs (Royal Spyness #13)

Author: Rhys Bowen

Publisher: Berkley 2019

Genre: Mystery

Pages: 304

Rating: 4/5 stars

Reading Challenges: Ebook

I was so excited when Darcy announced out of the blue that we were flying to Kenya for our extended honeymoon. Now that we are here, I suspect he has actually been sent to fulfill another secret mission. I am trying very hard not to pick a fight about it, because after all, we are in paradise! Darcy finally confides that there have been robberies in London and Paris. It seems the thief was a member of the aristocracy and may have fled to Kenya. Since we are staying in the Happy Valley—the center of upper-class English life—we are well positioned to hunt for clues and ferret out possible suspects.
Now that I am a sophisticated married woman, I am doing my best to sound like one. But crikey! These aristocrats are a thoroughly loathsome sort enjoying a completely decadent lifestyle filled with wild parties and rampant infidelity. And one of the leading lights in the community, Lord Cheriton, has the nerve to make a play for me. While I am on my honeymoon! Of course, I put an end to that right off.
 
When he is found bloodied and lifeless along a lonely stretch of road, it appears he fell victim to a lion. But it seems that the Happy Valley community wants to close the case a bit too quickly. Darcy and I soon discover that there is much more than a simple robbery and an animal attack to contend with here in Kenya. Nearly everyone has a motive to want Lord Cheriton dead and some will go to great lengths to silence anyone who asks too many questions. The hunt is on! I just hope I can survive my honeymoon long enough to catch a killer. . . .

Another Georgie mystery. It was pretty decent, but not the best in the series. I did enjoy the change in scenery to Kenya. Unfortunately the relations between the natives and Europeans was a bit much. I understand the time period, but I I wasn’t really excited by all of the commentary. The murder mystery was interesting, but then the reveal is much too quick. I would have liked a bit more discussion and resolution. And there was a decided lack of grandfather and Claire. I need more in the next book.

Her Royal Spyness:

  • #0.5 Masked Ball at Broxley Manor

  • #1 Her Royal Spyness

  • #2 A Royal Pain

  • #3 Royal Flush

  • #4 Royal Blood

Odds and Ends

Odds and Ends.png

Here's my randomness for the week:

  • Driving 630 miles in one long shot is a lot to handle… I do not love the drive at all, but driving straight through seemed the best option given current times.

  • I now have a pair of nice skinny black pants. Not an addition I was looking for, but at least they were fairly cheap and are comfortable.

  • I miss my own bed. It’s just so incredibly comfy.

  • Redoing the library holds takes time…

The Hike by Drew Magary

Hike.jpg

Title: The Hike

Author: Drew Magary

Publisher: Penguin Books

Genre: Fantasy

Pages: 288

Rating: 5/5 stars

Reading Challenges:

When Ben, a suburban family man, takes a business trip to rural Pennsylvania, he decides to spend the afternoon before his dinner meeting on a short hike. Once he sets out into the woods behind his hotel, he quickly comes to realize that the path he has chosen cannot be given up easily. With no choice but to move forward, Ben finds himself falling deeper and deeper into a world of man-eating giants, bizarre demons, and colossal insects.
 
On a quest of epic, life-or-death proportions, Ben finds help comes in some of the most unexpected forms, including a profane crustacean and a variety of magical objects, tools, and potions. Desperate to return to his family, Ben is determined to track down the “Producer,” the creator of the world in which he is being held hostage and the only one who can free him from the path.
 
At once bitingly funny and emotionally absorbing, Magary’s novel is a remarkably unique addition to the contemporary fantasy genre, one that draws as easily from the world of classic folk tales as it does from video games. In The Hike, Magary takes readers on a daring odyssey away from our day-to-day grind and transports them into an enthralling world propelled by heart, imagination, and survival.

What an incredibly weird, amazing book! I started the book on the recommendation of a podcast and did not read more of the summary. I had no idea what I was getting into and that’s the best way to approach this book. I read the first two chapters and was completely sucked in. I was completely on the path with Ben facing the trials and tribulations as he did. The middle section involving a fellow traveler was a bit slow, but thankfully things pick up quickly after that encounter. Genuinely strange book about a journey. I loved it!

Homeschool W5: It was Apple Week!

IMG_3450.jpeg
 

What We Studied

Literature and Poetry

We had fun reading and attempting the cases in Encyclopedia Brown’s first story collection. Arthur enjoyed the stories but was less interested in actually solving the cases. We started a new poem collection filled with fun short poems. We’ll be continuing this collection next week.

  • Encyclopedia Brown by Donald Sobol

  • Hey You! Poems to Skyscrapers, Mosquitos, and Other Fun Things

IMG_3456.jpeg

Math

As we finished 1A last week, we took this week to play some math games and do some Khan Academy lessons. The favorite part was playing with tannegrams on Monday.

Social Studies

The first part of the week we focused on the Native American tribes of the Northeast before European contact. We read some classic tales, watched some videos, and learned about various tribes and their cultures. On Wednesday, we watched the first episode of the PBS documentary Native America. Although it focused on the cultures of the Southwest and Mesoamerica, we still learned a lot. I can’t wait to watch the rest of the series over the next couple of weeks.

  • First Nations of North America: Northeast Indians

  • Children of Native America Today

  • Skywoman by Joanne Shenandoah

  • Rabbit’s Snow Dance by James and Joseph Bruchac

  • The Iroquois by Danielle Smith-Llera

  • D is for Drum by Debbie and Michael Shoulders

  • Bowwow Powwow by Brenda J. Child

IMG_3517.jpeg
 

The second half of the week we started our continent study. First up: Africa! We learned about the African geography, some traditional stories, and the animals. My favorite part was learning about a few of the natural wonders of the continent.

  • Here is the African Savanna by Madeleine Dunphy

  • A is for Africa by Ifeoma Onyefulu

  • Africa by Mary Lindeen

  • The Amazing African Animal Alphabet by Kristina Jones

  • The Lonely Lioness and the Ostrich Chicks by Verna Aardema

  • Anansi Does the Impossible by Verna Aardema

Science

We had a bit of a light science week. We started with a study of ecosystems and habitats. Thankfully Magic School Bus had two great episodes about ecosystems and habitats to reinforce our learning. Later in the week we started Blossom and Root’s Book Seed about Mary Anning. I do so love learning about women scientists.

  • Mary Annin and the Sea Dragon by Jeannine Atkins

Art

No formal art lessons this week. All of our projects were tied to our unit theme or social studies.

IMG_3496.jpeg
 

Music

Our composer for the week was Johann Sebastian Bach. Arthur still prefers Beethoven, but I love Bach. Beyond our usual composer podcasts and listening journal, we did a special music lesson on Wednesday. We listened to Camille Saint-Saen’s The Carnival of the Animals and drew the animals we heard in each movement.

  • The Carnival of the Animals Jack Prelutsky

IMG_3502.jpeg

Nature Play Day

As it was apple week, most of our nature play activities focused on apples. We did an apple taste, investigated an apple, stamped with apples, made a coffee filter apple, and ____. It was raining on Wednesday so we skipped our outdoor hike.

  • Apple Harvest by Jenna Lee Gleisner

  • Ten Apples Up on Top by Dr. Seuss

  • The Apple Pie Tree by Zoe Hall

IMG_3483.jpeg

Unit Theme - Apples

I thought the second week of September would be the perfect week to learn about apples. The fresh vs. frozen apples experiment was a lot of fun even if we didn’t actually eat the frozen one. It was disgusting… Beyond the experiment, we read a ton of apple themed books and did a deeper dive into the life of Johnny Appleseed.

  • How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World by Marjorie Priceman

  • The Apple Doll by Elisa Kleven

  • From Apple Trees to Cider Please by Felicia Sanzari Chernesky

  • Bad Apple by Edward Hemingway

  • Johnny Appleseed Plants Trees Across the Land by Eric Braun

  • 12 Amazing American Myths and Legends

  • Johnny Appleseed by Jane Yolen

  • A is for Autumn by Robert Maass

IMG_3499.jpeg
 

Misc. - Random picture books read

  • The Piano by Marika Maijala and Juha Virta

  • Good Morning City by Pat Kiernan

  • Welcome Home Bear by Il Sung Na

  • The Ocean in Your Bathtub by Seth Fishman

  • Beautiful by Stacy McAnulty

  • Math Fables Too by Greg Tang

IMG_3474.jpeg
 

Highs

  • We listened to great podcasts this week including the end of the Gilgamesh series, WOW in the World, and multiple Dr. Floyd episodes.

  • Quentin loves doing his school work! Guess I need to print more.

Lows

  • Arthur had a few attitude moments throughout the week. We are working on good attitudes and asking for help when frustrated instead of breaking down.

Next Week

Depending on the situation, we may be taking a few days off this coming week. Things are very much up in the air right now. I do have W6 and W7 already planned out if I need it. We are going to focus on Egypt, Deserts, Fall and Leaves, and the Southwest Native American tribes.
