Sunday Book Review--10

I found a new website today. Had to share.
1000 Awesome Things I love randomness such as this, and it really makes you stop and appreciate the little things in life.
Also, since I'm suggesting websites, you might want to check out
Post Secret for some dark and dreary things that people live with on a daily basis. Will make your heart cry for some and laugh at some and realize just how great your life is going.
Then there's Texts from Last Night, which I find humorous, but I will warn you, it's not appropriate for all viewers and some may take offense to the vulgarness that is involved with college-aged "kids". Still, if I can black out all of the vulgarnes, makes me smile to remember back in the day of drinking Arbor Mist and acting like a complete idiot. Good times.

And now for my Sunday Book Review....

No Angel by Penny Vincenzi


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I picked this book from my Mother-In-Law's shelf, out of sheer avoidance of my New Year's resolution to read five classics. I had started Pride and Predjudice and I am so tired from being pregnant that I can't focus and instantly fall asleep. This book, however, kept me not only awake, but awake way past my usual bedtime and on into the night. I love books like these. I think these are the closest thing to a love affair that I could imagine. I would literally wait all day to sneak into bed just to read for hours. I couldn't put it down, couldn't get anything accomplished until it was finished, and when it was, I went straight for the next book in the trilogy. This is half the reason why I haven't been able to focus on my blog. These books are wonderful.

This book takes place in England during the World War I time period. It starts by introducing Celia, the first of many strong and independent women in the book. It follows her through her life as a mother, wife, book publisher, socialite, and secret lover. She is a very complex woman that I want to hate, but I love her for her guts. I love this era and I am always intrigued by anything England, so this was the perfect book for me.
