The Courtesan's Daughter

Courtesan... the word that countless times before was one to despise when ever Caroline heard it. But after her mother buys a soon-to-be husband for her, Caroline starts to think that the life of a courtesan is the one she wants to live. but when she meets the Earl of Ashdon and receives strands of Perls, her opinions of being a courtesan changes some what drastically. As far as Lord Ashdon's opinion goes he couldn't be happier about her decision to become a courtesan... or so he lets us think. But I leave that for you guys to decide once you read the story for yourself.

I loved this book so much when I picked it up and actually started reading it. I know I hate to admit it because I loath people that do this but I actual bought the book because I really like the front cover of the book. It just grabed my attention, seemingly screaming at me to buy it. And so I did. Its a rare historical romance in my opinion. One, because the history is actually all over the book and not just a very weak back set and two, because it was more than just a romance. There is an actual mystery throughout the book that involves Caroline's mother and who she is and her very-or so most people think- extravagant life as a courtesan and all the many pleasures that come along with the job title in more than one way.

I give this book and an A++ because of the real life history alone along with the romance that captures ones attention right away. I was able to just step into Caroline's body and become her and fell what she was felling from the very beginning. I would how ever give this book a mature reading rate for ages 18+. What with all of the sexual references and sex its self as well as many other adult themes .

As always happy reading , Enjoy!

The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian

The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian

by Sherman Alexie

The absolutely not so true story about the true story of the authors’ full time life – as a kid, that is. Wow now that was a mouth full not unlike some of the words that our main character, Jr. comes up with. Jr.'s life is not the picturesque one that most would associate with life on a reservation. Jr. was born with a some physical deformations and a disease that put water in his brain. Hence he was the laughing stalk of the reservation. But this year is gona take Jr. on many new adventures packed with sports, first loves, comic drawing, outrages friends, and laugh out loud funniness.

This is a top notch book for anyone looking for a good read and funny laughs. If you’ve ever read any of Sherman Alexie’s other writings then you won’t be disappointed with this story what so ever. I give the book a positive A and rate it for any one with the warning of mild langue and one sexual suggestion.
