Monday Morning Book Report!

Monday morning book report.  What did you read over the weekend?

Well, I started a new-to-me author over the weekend and I gave it about 100 pages, but I couldn't connect to the hero. He was so surly and angry to everyone around him, and though the readers are told from the beginning he has a reason for being so awful, we aren't told what it is until about 75 pages in. And even after we find out what his reason is, (someone close to him died and he feels responsible), he's still very unlikable and doesn't even show the tiniest hint that he's going to change the way he treats the heroine or anyone else he comes in contact with. 

So, I gave up. 

I used to be the kind of person that needed to finish a book no matter what, but I have so many books on my TBR list now, if I can't connect to the story after giving it a good try, I don't finish. 

What about you? Are you the kind of person that finishes a book no matter what?

What Shows Do You Rewatch?

So, I have a confession to make. I hope you won't judge me.

 
*deep breath*

Well, I've been binge-watching Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman. I loved that show back in the day and when I saw it was on Prime I decided to rewatch it. I'm just about to the wedding episode. It's interesting to me that many of the episodes deal with issues that we're still dealing with as a society today. And then there's Michaela and Sully. They've got great chemistry and the push/pull of opposites attract! What about you? Is there a show you used to watch years ago that you've rewatched?

Are You An 80s Kid?

 Can you guess all of them? I did and now I have these songs going through my head!

Happy 4th of July!

We hope you have a safe and happy 4th of July!

Here's the back copy:

Aisley lost everything in a Viking attack. Now, working alongside the one man she trusts, she is ready to fight for her people—and for love.

Wessex, AD 878

Aisley’s young life was changed forever when her father accompanied King Alfred into battle and lost his life in a deadly skirmish with the Vikings. Now, almost seven years later, the Vikings are once again rallying on Wessex’s borders, and Aisley fears that her older brother may have treacherous plans to betray the king by aligning himself with the invading Norsemen. But when Aisley encounters a handsome nobleman in the market, she feels the first stirrings of hope. Though they met only once when Aisley was little more than a child, she recognizes him immediately as one of King Alfred’s most trusted men.

It has been years since Brecc has seen Aisley, but when he spots her in the marketplace, he finds himself inexplicably drawn to the copper-haired young lady with a gift for healing. Before his fledgling feelings for her can develop into something more, however, a Viking attack tears them apart. King Alfred is forced into hiding, and in a matter of days, the Saxon nation is brought to its knees. Unwilling to forsake their people, the king and his men embark on secret raids of Viking encampments. But when Aisley joins the fight, Brecc must reconcile his steadfast loyalty to King Alfred with his growing love for the king’s newest warrior.
