Coming Attractions for November 2019

So I am crossing my fingers on getting certain book *coughs* The American Dirt by Jeanne Cummins *coughs* this month, which I am excited to read. I also made a realization that with only two months left, there are a number of books that I want to read but realize I haven't read. Like other readers, I imagine that everyone has a goal of reading all the books on TBR lists (at least my case, and it spans into, well, more than a thousand) but since it can't be done until cloning, here are a few books I want to read before the year is out that were published this year: MIRACLE CREEK by ANGIE KIM, LIMITS OF THE WORLD by JENNIFER ACKER, and I'M FINE AND NEITHER ARE YOU by CAMILLE PAGAN. (Will cross fingers for December) So this month, I am planning a trip to 13th century China as well as New Zealand during 1950s, possibly Iceland and Antarctica. Without further ado, here are my reading plans.

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...
