 Personal Opinion:

While I liked reading about Darcy a lot, I think there was perhaps something missing in the Darcy book, especially when comparing it to Tammy. (I'm not sure how describe it.) But Tammy felt as if the story gave us a lot of glimpses of Tammy and the changes that Lianne went through from the time she got Tammy to the time she said to goodbye to her. There was definitely a strong coming-of-age element in Tammy. Just like with Tammy, Darcy was a beautiful tale and a tribute to her dog, and its a book that all book lovers can understand and relate to, and like Tammy, Darcy gives us strong glimpses of her personality and thoughts, but I felt as if the story of Darcy tended to be too short, or perhaps not as vivid when comparing it to Tammy. However, for someone who loves dog stories or just animal stories, then Darcy will be an awesome treat.

G324 E-Reading Book Review of Mozart's Wife by Juliet Waldron

Image
Name of Book: Mozart's Wife Author: Juliet Waldron ISBN: 9781461109617 Publisher: Createspace Type of book: 1700s, Mozart, Konstanza, music, partying, drinking, Opera, debt, birth, Vienna, Austria, marriage, rock star status, destruction Year it was published: 2011 Summary: Jon Baxley, Editor of Amazing Authors Showcase says it all in his review. "This author's fictionalized account of Constanze Webber--an extraordinary woman who just happened to marry an even more extraordinary man named Mozart--brings 18th Century Vienna and its people vividly alive. Constanze would have been a remarkable woman for any era, struggling with her own perspective on life while trying to cope and understand the icon composer with whom she chose to share her life. But as an 18th Century woman, she is all the more remarkable. This book is well written and thoroughly researched, that's obvious from the details in dialogue and events. I suspect little of this work is pur...

If you partake of watching it, you are not worse nor better than I am. We are simply different than one another, and I don't see TV as pedestrian or opium for the masses or anything of the kind. (Am I dumb that I enjoy video games and have played RPG games in the past? Nope.) I grew up in the '90s, arriving as a religious ethnic minority from former So...

See rules here:  Sunday Post Meme #5 Childhood Memories I sometimes wonder how my six year old son will see his life in the future: will he feel that his childhood was ideal, or will the ideal be simply an illusion that I hope to impart to him? I am sure my parents wished and tried to make sure I remember the good parts of life, and there are fleeting glimpses of fun times such as traveling to a water park or even taking a Disney vacation. But beyond the big gestures, I recall yummy food, videos, music in addition to a whole ton of guilt and anxiety. My son, I hope its safe to say, has probably more of an awesome childhood than I did, and I often hope th...
