Novel
Blood Brothers
Nora Roberts's has written a family/romance/thriller novel entitled 'Blood Brothers' the first part of the 'Sign of Seven Trilogy'. The main characters are three boys by the names of Cal, Gage, and Fox who when they were 10 years of age well the night before all three turned 10, they made a pilgrimage to the Pagan Stone in their small town of Hawkins Hollow that is the center when in every seven years of the seventh month for seven days weird happenings occur. Nora Robert's in this part is a very show and tell writer and one needs to read it to really understand and know the fear that these three boys now men have been living.

Independence
I am starting a new series of novels that I have had on my shelves for quite a while now and I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. The first volume is entitled 'Independence' written by Dana Fuller Ross. This is the story of the start of the first wagon train to the great future state of Oregon from the plan of Andrew Jackson. The main characters are Sam Brentwood, Claudia Humpries, and Cathy Van Ayl and their friends who all want to help them cross the country for enlarge the United States. Dana Fuller Ross is an author who has written quite the picturesque story of Westward expansion that all started on Long Island. I am hoping for comments on these critiques for they really are quite enjoyable.

Winnie the Pooh
The other day I wrote a short critique on Winnie the Pooh that mainly gave the idea how this book could help children and their mental health. But the story of Winnie the Pooh by A.A. Milne is actually the story of friendships in all their various forms from Pooh and Piglet, Pooh and Eeyore, and even Pooh and all the others. The most important friendship is Pooh and Christopher Robin. Pooh and Piglet and their various adventures, Pooh making new friends with Kanga and Roo, Pooh and Rabbit when Pooh would like a snack, Pooh and Eeyore who needs to feel friendship. All of these are shown when hunting for Woozles and Heffalumps, to throwing a party when a flood is over to just sharing a favorite snack or two and as a gang going on expedition. Winnie the Pooh is a children's novel that makes a good read for adults as well as kids even though the illustrations are pencil sketches, they give the story a homey feel.

Winnie the Pooh
This is the first Winnie the Pooh novel that is entitled 'Winnie the Pooh' created by A.A. Milne. This first book is all about Pooh's adventures in the Hundred Acre Woods living under a sign saying 'Sanders'. Pooh meets a Woozle, a Heffalump, goes to a birthday party and a few other activities as well. After I have read this book several times and still quite enjoyed the read, but since I was a mental health nurse it also showed me a different way of looking at eating disorders, anxiety, depression, hyperactivity, attachment disorders, and even grandiose ideations. Mainly though it is a book showing how imagination is the way to go as a child such as Christopher Robin shows how to grow up to be a good person in many ways.

Dr. Zhivago
Boris Pasternak wrote the novel 'Dr. Zhivago' that is quite a piece of Russian literature that is to me and was quite enjoyable even though it was a romance story. The story is set during the Russian Revolution and a family's search for freedom. Pasternak is quite the show and tell author for this novel to me is quite detailed in describing the settings, the characters and the basic theme of the book.

Little Dorrit
I am a person who likes reading classic novels. Here is one that I read entitled 'Little Dorrit' by Charles Dickens. This is quite the thick book even in paperback, but to me it is worth the read. It is about a young girl who lives with her father with many questions that seems to have no answers but they both go on a journey to seek answers to how they are living their lives. Do they find their answers?

Dark Witch
Nora Robert's wrote the novel 'Dark Witch' that is about a women named Iona, an American with Irish descendant who traveled to Ireland to seek out some family answers. This is a romance story with a lot of family interests and how family and friends can see each other for who they are. As the title offers it is a story of witches and dark magic. The reader at times will even read the magic spells as if they were using the spell for the rhythm of words will have that effect. Nora Robert's and the way she has of writing her books will have you thinking that you are in Ireland experiencing what Iona and hers are experiencing.

"Feedback Frontier"
In the dynamic city of Horizonville, where imagination exceeded all rational limitations and creative articulation flourished, there carried on with a youthful essayist named Alex. Enthusiastically for narrating and a yearn for new encounters, Alex set out on an excursion through the Input Boondocks — a local area of essayists, specialists, and makers who looked to push the limits of their art by investigating inventive skylines through valuable criticism and joint effort.

"The Styx Saga,"
Some time ago, in a domain where inventiveness streamed like waterways and creative mind exceeded all logical limitations, there existed a spot called Styx. It was a land where hopeful makers and specialists set out on an excursion to create their works of art, looking for criticism and direction en route.

Broken Thread
Quite a long time ago, in a curious town settled between moving slopes and murmuring streams, there carried on with a young lady named Elara. She was known for her delicate nature and her talented hands that could mesh the most mind boggling designs into texture. Elara's life rotated around her art, and she tracked down comfort in the musical dance of her loom.
