"The automatic writing project started out as an activity among friends and locals. I would write a line someone else would write a line and so on... Then people would overhear us and ask if they could participate and write something too (which surprised me) of course I said "yes!" At that point I realized that lots of people have something to say. I started asking strangers to add entries, then I graduated to offering people $1.00 to participate, some people do not accept the dollar and some pay me a $1.00 (paying it forward). It's becoming quite a lovely, surprising and compelling project. People from many walks of life are participating: homeless, a news reporter, academics, doctors, drug addicts, lawyers, tourists etc... People have written things in my journal that they'd never say out loud, not to anyone. Some of it's so sad, some intriguing, hilarious and so on... At the end of the day, every one of these people understand that their entries are being uploaded to the internet and are comforted in knowing that they will be heard. I have no idea where this is going, but it's going just fine! FYI: English is not everyone's first language here. I will be illustrating the book/journal after the text is done. I hope that everyone who reads these entries learns something about people, mostly that we never know what someone else is going through.

Book description
Welcome to Destiny, Ohio—where coming home means finding your true heart and maybe even your true love.Tessa Sheridan came crawling back home to Destiny after her big city interior design career crumbled. Now not only must she struggle to make ends meet, she has to contend with a biker next door and the roar of Harleys shattering the serenity of her cabin in the woods. Worse still, her sexy bad boy neighbor makes her feel breathless and weak—and shy, petite Tessa knows what a major mistake it would be to get involved with someone so…dangerous.They say that former teen rebel Lucky Romo has a dark, secret past—that he’s trouble with a capital “T.” Still, Tessa feels all tingly when she sees how well he fills out a pair of tight jeans. And when Lucky invites her into his world, she knows the intense heat sparking between them could lead her somewhere wild and wonderful…and, yes, dangerous!

(Almost) all the books I brought to the lake with me. We had so many fantastic days to relax and read.
I finished Cutting For Stone the first day of vacation, One Hundred Demons the day after, and skipped over the other easier targets right into Anna Karenina, this year's epic reading challenge of the summer. I left the rest out on the desk for the ladies to dabble in, though.
The Dream of a Common Language will make another great one-day read. Same for The Painted Word. I brought that copy of Wild for Evan's mom, and Evan slipped Feet of Clay in my suitcase after I packed. Lucifer 3 I picked up in Chicago for my coworker who couldn't find it in New York.
And I forgot the copy of Watership Down in my suitcase all week long.
i have been following this woman's story since she was kidnapped in somalia in 2008.
to read her story, her history and her experience is amazing.
for many, many, many hundreds of days, there were no real answers as to whether or not she was even alive.
and then to emerge from her experience and make change the way she did has affected me deeply.
originally her story caught my attention because here was a woman who was following her dream, trying to make a life for herself filled with change and adventure, suddenly thrust into an unimaginable situation.
then, to see what amanda has done with her life, now that she has it back, is unreal.
i got to meet her once, at a talk she was giving in ottawa ( remember, my other amanda l:)??).
she gave me chills with her grace and her absolute openness.
anyways, i am half way through. i will share more when i am finished.

Hidden Warbirds - Lost and Found
My full review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/849224594
At the outbreak of World War II, the United States engaged in an effort to churn out warplanes at a rate unprecedented in history. At the end of the War, the vast majority of these War heroes were flown to huge junkyards, waiting their turn to be turned into aluminum ingots. For several decades these now old-fashioned airplanes were forgotten; however, films as "Tora, Tora, Tora" and "The Battle of Britain" revived an fledgling interest in these heroic machines.
This fascinating book tells the story of the great lengths people have gone to to recover what was once discarded trash, to be turned into pristine restorations worth millions of dollars and the delight of huge crowds at airshows. This book explores the recovery of old wrecks from the highest mountains and deepest oceans, the steamy jungles of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea to the isolated frozen wastes of Alaska and Greenland.

From Goodreads - Nellie Bly took an undercover journalist assignment to pretend to be insane to investigate reports of brutality and neglect at mental asylums. After a night of practicing deranged expressions in front of a mirror, she checked into a working-class boarding-house where she feigned insanity so well that everyone was convinced. She was then examined by several doctors, who all declared her to be insane, too. Committed to an asylum, Bly experienced its dire conditions firsthand: horrible spoiled food; the patients mistreated and abused; unclean and unsanitary conditions. Furthermore, speaking with her fellow patients, Bly was convinced that some were as sane as she was. After ten days, Bly was released from the asylum with her editor's help and she published her experience in book form as "Ten Days in a Mad-House." It caused a sensation and brought her lasting fame. More importantly, thanks to this book, living conditions for the insane were improved and funds for their care were increased.
*******************************************************************************************************
My Review -
I'm not even sure where to start on this review. It's enough to leave you speechless. In 1887 Nellie Bly was working for The New York World newspaper in NYC. She went undercover as an insane woman and spent 10 days at Bellevue Hospital and Blackwell's Island Insane Asylum. Words can not express the horrors that she saw while there. Woman were abused, starved, bathed in ice cold water, improperly clothed, and made fun of by the staff at the hospital. Some of the women inside the asylum were as sane as Nellie herself.
On the tenth day Nellie was released from the asylum with her editors help. She went on to write about her experience exposing the asylum for what it was. A grand jury was called in and an investigation was done with help from Nellie. With help from Nellie an extra 850,000 dollars was given to The Department of Public Charities and Corrections. The money was supposed to be used towards better living conditions for the patients.(

Each year, I attempt to read my age in books. It's a fun challenge that gets just a little progressively harder each year, and means that each year I can become exposed to more art, hear unique voices and live more stories.
As the new year is getting under way, I wanted to look back at some of the recently(ish) released books that I read in 2016 that topped my favourites list.

This is Book 4 in The Mortal Instruments Series. From Goodreads"
The Mortal War is over, and sixteen-year-old Clary Fray is back home in New York, excited about all the possibilities before her. She's training to become a Shadowhunter and to use her unique power. Her mother is getting married to the love of her life. Downworlders and Shadowhunters are at peace at last. And - most importantly of all - she can finally call Jace her boyfriend.
But nothing comes without a price.
Someone is murdering Shadowhunters who used to be in Valentine's Circle, provoking tensions between Downworlders and Shadowhunters that could lead to a second bloody war. Clary's best friend, Simon, can't help her. His mother just found out that he's a vampire and now he's homeless. Everywhere he turns, someone wants him on their side - along with the power of the curse that's wrecking his life. And they're willing to do anything to get what they want. At the same time he's dating two beautiful, dangerous girls - neither of whom knows about the other one.
When Jace begins to pull away from Clary without explaining why, she is forced to delve into the heart of a mystery whose solution reveals her worst nightmare: She herself has set in motion a terrible chain of events that could lead to her losing everything she loves. Even Jace.
Love. Blood. Betrayal. Revenge. The stakes are higher than ever in City of Fallen Angels.
********************************************************************************************************
My Review:
NO, NO, NO, NO!!!
WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY?
Come on now, can we please stop torturing Jace and Clary? Seriously? A couple can only deal with so much crap especially when one thinks he is evil incarnate to begin with.
Alec..What the hell has gotten into that boy? Did he truly think Magnus had no other relationships before him even though he's older than Methuselah's grandmother? Alright, since Alec is simply just a relationship beginner I will cut him a little slack.
Jocelyn has somehow made herself the most annoying character in the books. Sorry honey, you can't run away from your past that easily and think it will go away if you try and ignore it. What you once thought was the right thing to do is going to get you or your kid killed if you don't wake up and accept some things. As it was, she was almost killed.
I'm glad to see more of the spotlight on Simon. He is such a profound and important character in these stories.
The first half of the book dragged a little bit, but I once again the last half saved the book.
Yes, I'm addicted now. I will not hand my head in shame!
Reading 150 books is one of my goals.

From Goodreads -An arresting portrait of the struggles that women faced for control of their own bodies, The Birth House is the story of Dora Rare—the first daughter in five generations of Rares.
As apprentice to the outspoken Acadian midwife Miss Babineau, Dora learns to assist the women of an isolated Nova Scotian village through infertility, difficult labors, breech births, unwanted pregnancies, and unfulfilling sex lives. During the turbulent World War I era, uncertainty and upheaval accompany the arrival of a brash new medical doctor and his promises of progress and fast, painless childbirth. In a clash between tradition and science, Dora finds herself fighting to protect the rights of women as well as the wisdom that has been put into her care.
********************************************************************************************************
My Review - I found this book really easy to get into. I love historical fiction especially set in the turn of the century when women were fighting for their rights to vote and the ability to make choices regarding their own bodies.
The Birth House covers a variety of women's issues from the turn of the century. When you read this book you have to forget everything you know and put yourself into the mindset of a woman from the turn of the century living in a rural tight knit community.

Clary Fray just wishes that her life would go back to normal. But what's normal when you're a demon-slaying Shadowhunter, your mother is in a magically induced coma, and you can suddenly see Downworlders like werewolves, vampires, and faeries? If Clary left the world of the Shadowhunters behind, it would mean more time with her best friend, Simon, who's becoming more than a friend. But the Shadowhunting world isn't ready to let her go — especially her handsome, infuriating, newfound brother, Jace. And Clary's only chance to help her mother is to track down rogue Shadowhunter Valentine, who is probably insane, certainly evil — and also her father.
To complicate matters, someone in New York City is murdering Downworlder children. Is Valentine behind the killings — and if he is, what is he trying to do? When the second of the Mortal Instruments, the Soul-Sword, is stolen, the terrifying Inquisitor arrives to investigate and zooms right in on Jace. How can Clary stop Valentine if Jace is willing to betray everything he believes in to help their father?
In this breathtaking sequel to City of Bones, Cassandra Clare lures her readers back into the dark grip of New York City's Downworld, where love is never safe and power becomes the deadliest temptation.

My Review - This is the second book in Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments series.
Ok..This is fluff, my fluff. That's the story and I'm sticking to it. Every now and then we need some fluff in our lives and this is mine. Now that's out of the way here comes my review.
In a nutshell Clary and the gang are back and they have to try and defeat Valentine. In the process some people die, Simon becomes a vampire, Clary and Jace are fighting their feelings for each other because they are siblings (supposedly, I'm not buying that for one minute.), Alec and Magnus sorta hook up, a girly werewolf becomes enchanted by Simon (WTF?? That came the eff outta no where), Luke helps, Jocelyn is still in her coma, and we have lots of demons and fighting. Oh..I forgot the Fairies make an appearance as well. Some official Clave people come around and hate on Jace and imprison him a couple of times (which he escapes).
Clary is still the biggest pain in the ass known to mankind, angels, and downworlders. She never knows when to shut up and listen. She runs head first and asks questions later after she is captured and becomes the damsel in distress. It's getting kinda old.
Jace is still my favorite. However if he keeps being a smart ass every single time he talks I may change my mind. No one is like that all the time. He's fun, but getting to the point where the character is becoming unbelievable.
Alec and Isabella are the two most underdeveloped characters ever. I want to like or dislike them, but right now all I feel is nothing. They have the personality of rocks right now and not the fun pet kind.
Magnus..oh Magnus. I hope he shows up more in the next books. I'm getting a good peak at him and what he can do and I want to see more.
The writing still seems immature at best. I still think a 15 year old could have written this, but since I'm considering this my fluff I am rating it as such.
