Review: I found this book really easy to get in to l was hooked after reading the first few pages. It was horrible to read that Jane's fiancee left her on their wedding day to do work. Jane wants to find somebody to marry her before her birthday she will be 27 she goes to the bar in her wedding dress. I enjoyed reading this book and about Jane and Rose. I would like to read more from this author. I got a arc of this book. This book has 421 pages and 38 chapters in it. Jane's fiancee did not leave her on their wedding day like she told Leo. She was the one who left Andrew on their wedding day. Andrew was heartbroken. Leo took most of the money they won leaving Jane only a bit. I was sad to read that Jane left her fiancee on their wedding day. this is a great storyline. I can not put in to words how great this book really is l would tell people to read it for themselves to know how great it really is. Leo and Jane know they can not stay married. Leo does drugs and like drinking and Jane does not do drugs or drinks. Jane wants Andrew to make a fresh start without her. Rose wants to join american red cross but she is not twenty one but Sylvia is going to help her get papers saying she is twenty one. Being part of american red cross is one of Rose's dreams. I was sad to read that Leo's great auntie was ill but Leo wanted to take Jane home to London with him so he could see his great auntie and let Jane meet his great auntie and maybe the rest of his family which l think is nice but Jane told him they could not stay married. It was nice that Jane agreed to go with Leo to see his great auntie who was very poorly and he wanted them to act like a happily married couple. Jane went along with the plan to act like a devoted wife for his great auntie. Leo's great auntie was called Rose. His great auntie made Jane and Leo stay for dinner and get to know Jane more. It was sad that Leo's great auntie has cancer. Leo's great auntie Rose loved Jane and was happy Leo had married Jane. She thought Jane was beautiful. Rose was working as a american red cross lady and she meet a bomber named Danny. Her friends tried to keep Danny and Rose apart. It was hard to put this book down once l started reading it. I Love reading books about war and the olden days. I can not get enough of this book. There is a bit of sex,drugs and drink in it but id is a great book. I hope Leo gets off the drugs and drink because he and Jane makes a great couple. It was sad that Danny's friend Phil died when his plane went down in flames. Rose was heartbroken by the news of Phil's death. Leo's mother was in town visiting Leo's great auntie Rose. She was coming for dinner Rose knew it would be the last time she sees her. Leo's great auntie Rose had stage four secondary liver cancer she was on painkillers she had months maybe weeks to live. Danny has not written to Rose she fears the worse. It was nice of Jane to go and talk to Leo's mother. Leo sounds horrible for not going to hug or talk to his mother he should have talked or hugged her because she give him life he would not be alive if it was not for his mother. Leo's great auntie Rose was Rose who was a american red cross worker. This book is full of surprises. Jane thinks Leo come back for his auntie's money Leo come back for his great auntie's. Leo said it is not the case he come because he loves and cares about her not her money. It was nice of Edward to be building a house to help people who lost everything due to the war. I fall more in love with this book as l get through more pages. This book gets better and better. Jane loves how friendly Leo's great auntie and mother is. They both sound like great women. Edward sounds like a great guy who wants to help people after the war which is a really nice thing. It was sad to read that because Danny put a ring on Rose's finger that he thought he could take anything he wanted from Rose. Danny raped Rose and she wanted nothing to do with Danny. Jane wants to stay married to Leo . There is 424 pages and 38 chapters in this book. it is good that Leo is trying to change his life around hope he stays off the drugs. I feel for Rose after what she been through l hope she does not get pregnant by Danny. Danny sounds like he thinks he can take whatever he wants from women. I hope Rose does not get together with Danny and she founds someone who loves her and won't hurt her and she she finds a guy she will happily marry and have kids with him. I would love to read more about Jane,Leo,Rose And Leo's mother. I can not get enough of this book. I have enjoyed reading this story. I like that Jane and Leo told Rose she needed stronger pain relief. Jane wanted to hear all about Rose's past which Rose happily told her. It was nice that Rose knitted a teddy for the children who Edward was helping and took them chocolate bars. It was horrible to read that the 4 adults and 3 children was so skinny and scared and they was hidden in a cellar for two years because they was Jewish. Jewish people who do not hide are sent concentration camps some of the Jewish people would die in in the camps and some of them would be rescued. Rose helped the adults to chairs while Edward made them a drink and got them something to eat. It was sad to read that there was a bombing in London and Rose's house was left in rumble and Rose did not know if her friends are alive or dead. Edward was there to support Rose and to help her. I feel for Rose having lost all her belongings and maybe her friends too. Rose was heartbroken. All Rose's friends died and Rose went to identified Maggie's body because she had no family. Rose was full of soot but she had no clothes to change in to. Rose went to all her friends funerals. Edward was there to say goodbye to Rose's friends. Rose and Edward loved each other but Rose was scared of being raped again. Edward would not hurt Rose in any way. It is really horrible to read that Rose is in so much pain. I hope Leo and Jane stay together as husband and wife as they make a great couple. This is a great book and storyline. It was sad to read about Rose's death and she wanting to be back with her friends. Leo and Jane took Rose's death hard they was heartbroken. Jane hide under the bed after Rose's passing away. Rose told everybody want she wanted to wear in her coffin and she did not want a open coffin. They was going to ask Rose's hairdresser to do Rose's hair the way she liked it. I would love to know what secrets Jane is hiding. I hope Leo and Jane have a baby together if they have a girl they should name her Rose. Leo made peace with his mother. It was sad that Jane was made to do things no child should do and she was raped by many men. Jane killed a man who raped her and she ran away from home and she meet Charles on the train he paid for her ticket. I am glad everybody stay in touch after Rose's death. Jane and Leo stay together as a married couple and Rose was reunited with all of her friends after her death she was also back in the arms of her one true love Edward they was all dancing on the dance floor in rainbow corner where their journey started. Rose seen Danny from time to time but she was safe in Edward's arms. Danny lied to Rose when they meet he said he loved her and would marry her but he was already married with two children and Edward told Rose that Danny was back with his wife and two children.

Synopsis: you would like to love me, But you do not really know me with these words, Queen Edith begins to speak to us, As if she were still able to address us, Though she lived over a thousand years ago. Magdeburg author Regine Sondermann draws the reader close to this woman from the early middle ages, about whom little was known until now, She was young and came from England. She died at the age of 36, And she was laid to rest in the Magdeburg, Cathedral. The author sifted though documents and history books to discover small shards of Edith's short life, like a ceramic bowl destroyed long ago. She has pieced them together in this story of a woman and her family, which takes the reader to an unfamiliar land that seems so close but is infinitely far away. 

The author contacted me though my blog to ask me to read and review her book.

Book Dedication: To my husband, David Yoon, who showed me my heart.

Synopsis: Madeline Whittier is allergic to the outside world. So allergic, in fact, that she has never left the house in all of her seventeen years. But when Olly moves in next door, and wants to talk to maddie, Tiny holes start to appear in the protective bubble her mother has built around her. Olly writes his IM address on a piece of paper, shows it at her window, and suddenly, a door opens. But Does maddie dare to step outside her comfort zone? Everything, Everything is about the thrill and heartbreak that happens when we break out of the shell to do crazy, sometimes death-defying things for love. 


Reviews From Other Authors: 

I give all the stars in the sky to Nicola Yoon's sparkling debut everything, everything is everything, everything - powerful, lovely, heart-wrenching, and so absorbing l devoured it in one sitting. It is a wonder the rare novel that lifts and shatters and fills you all at once - Jennifer niven, Author of all the bright places.

This extraordinary first novel about love so strong it might kill us is too good to feel like a debut. Tender, Creative, Beautifully written, and with a great twist, Everything, everything is one of the best books l have read this year - Jodi Picoult 

An absolute peach of a love story. Maddy's unique history of isolation and solitude makes every incremental step towards intimacy crackle with impossible hope. Their chemistry rebounds off the page and it is beautifully written, too with charm, wit and style as well as heart - Susie day, author of my invisible boyfriend.

An entirely unique and beautiful read experience gorgeous writing meshes with original artwork to tell a love story like no other. You have read a book like this - David Arnold, author of mosquitoland 

Everything, Everything has everything... romance, heart, and intelligence. Nicola Yoon's Book and voice stayed with me long after l finished reading - Danielle Paige, Author of Dorothy must die 

Review: This book was easy to get in to. I was hooked after reading the first page and l love the design on the cover it is very pretty and colourful.
I was sad to read that Madeline's Father passed away. It must be hard for Madeline being struck in the house but she has a laptop so she can get grades and email her friend Olly her next door neighbour. Madeline sounds like a great girl. I was sad to read that Madeline's brother passed away. it must been hard for Madeline's mother to lose her husband and son in the same day. it must be hard to think you could lose your daughter the last piece of your husband. I feel sorry for Olly, his mother and sister having to deal with Olly's Father
being a drunk. I really was sad to read that Olly was Punched in the stomach by his father who is suppose to look after him and make sure no harm comes to him. I highly recommend this book. I wish l could rate it more than 5 stars because it deserves more than the 5 stars l rated it. I would love to read more about Madeline and Olly . Carla sounds like a great friendly nurse unlike Madeline's new nurse. Carla is not only Madeline's Nurse but she's her friend too Carla wishes her daughter was like Madeline. But her mother fired Carla because she went against the rules and let a strange boy into the clean house and near Madeline. Madeline is allergic to everything in the world she lives in a clean house. It was nice to read that Madeline's mother give Madeline a picture of herself,her mother,her father and her brother on the beach in Hawaii. Madeline was only a baby in the picture she was being held by her mother. Madeline and Olly sounds like they would make a great couple. Madeline and Olly run away to Hawaii for two days. They buy presents for some of their family members. Olly got something for his mother and his sister. Madeline buys something for Carla and a postcard for her mother. I could happily read this book again and again. I can not put in to words how great this book is l would tell people to read it for themselves to know how great this book really is. I would tell people to step outside your comfort zone with books because it is good to add more authors and genres to your reading portfolio even if you do not read books like this. I am glad this book is on my bookshelf. I am really glad l have read this book. It must be hard for Madeline's Mother Pauline knowing she could lose her surviving child she would go to any lengths to keep Madeline safe from any danger. I would like to read more books from Nicola Yoon. I hope Olly's Father goes to jail for hitting Olly. I really enjoyed this story and book. It is nice that Madeline books because books take you away from your life. I wish Madeline and Olly get together as boyfriend and girlfriend. I was happy to read that Olly and Madeline made the most of their time together. Pauline Madeline's mother emailed Olly to asks about Madeline and she told her mother she was fine and she will see her soon. Pauline just wants her daughter where she knows she is safe and Olly's friend Zack knew that Madeline was lying about the tablets. He said he would not tell Olly because he had secrets of his own. one of my favorite authors has read this book and she loved it like l do. Hawaii sounds beautiful. I hope Madeline does not get ill and she does not die because her mother,Olly and Carla would be heartbroken. It would be hard for her mother if she has to bury another child. I am guessing she does not die which l am glad of. Madeline's mother is flying out to Hawaii to bring her home to the clean house. She loves Madeline and she does not want to lose another child. It was horrible to read that Madeline's father and brother died due to a car accident because the driver of the other car fell asleep at the wheel you should not drive when you are tired because this could happen. The doctor Madeline seen in Hawaii thinks she was never ill if she is not why would her mother keep her locked away from the outside world or is it that she is worried she is going to lose Madeline like she lost her husband and her son they both passed away on the same day in a car accident. I was happy to read that Olly,his mother and sister got away from his father and they was safe from him. A few months after they left Olly's father left the house with his belongings. Madeline hoped he was not going after Olly,his mother and sister. Olly's father is a drunk who hit his wife and son. I was happy to read that Madeline's mother Pauline hired Carla to be Madeline's nurse again. This book has 310 pages in it. I was sad to read that Madeline was not reading Olly's emails. This book has some really nice drawings. Madeline so wants to email Olly but she just makes drafts after drafts of what she wants to say. This is a good storyline. It was nice that Pauline was getting counselling to help her come to terms with the loss of her husband and son.

Layla And Kat, Afghan teenagers in america, Struggling to make sense of their place in the world...

These women are about to learn what halajan, 
Yazmina's Rebellious mother-in-law, has known all along: When the world as you know it disappears, you find a new way to live.
Reuniting us with the much-loved cast of the international bestseller. the little coffee shop of kabul. Deborah Rodriguez tells an inspiring story of women's strength and courage in changing the world. 

Prologue: "Are you blind, you stupid girl? Do you want to get me killed?" The boy picked his bike out of the gutter and shook his small fist at her, but she just kept running. Her sneakers grew heavy with the mud underfoot and she struggled to keep her pace as she hurried through the narrow streets of the city. Around her, everything seemed to be moving in slow motion - the men pushing their carts piled high with pomegranates and cantaloupes, the covered women walking in pairs, leading their children by the hand, the mass of the fat - tailed sheep being urged along with a sharp stick - but inside, her heart was racing so fast she thought it might burst.She flew around a corner and elbowed her way though the crowds of people gathered near the outdoor food stalls, the smell of garbage and kebobs hitting her like an avalanche. All of her senses seemed to be turned up high - car horns blared, bicycle bells clanged, vendors shouted out their prices, generators whirred. How lucky she was that nobody seemed to bother with her, a frantic girl rushing though the streets with her hands covering her ears. But of course they would not. No man would dare to put a hand on her in public, and the women would all be too wary to get involved.Yet she continued to jerk her head around like a frighted bird, her eyes on the lookout for anyone who might be following. Past the shops with their sagging awnings and crumbling facades she fled, weaving in and out of the traffic that was becoming heavier the closer she got to the business center, where the glass and steel kam air building rose up from the sidewalk like a giant faceless robot. She grasped at the head scarf slipping back on her silky hair, and nearly tripped over a burqa'd beggar sitting in the middle of qala-e-musa road, a baby resting on rags at her side, the only visible part of her body the one bare hand reaching out to the passing cars. But the girl had to keep going, had to move faster. As she approached shaheed square she quickened her pace, leaping over the potholes that made the roads nearly impassible. Suddenly she felt her left foot slide out from under her and heard a cry as her hip hit the ground. She sat stunned for a moment, the mud oozing through her fingers and soaking her long blouse and jeans straight through to her skin. Two men walked their bikes in a wide circle around her, and straight ahead she could see another man in a white cap getting a shave on the street corner. Neither he nor the street barber holding a straight razor in one hand, keeping the man's face steady with the other, even blinked. It was as if she were invisible. She stood and, without bothering to wipe away the filth that covered half her body, continued to run. Now the streets had become a little wider, the traffic lighter, the high walls lining the roads making her picture herself as a rat in a giant maze. She moved as quickly as her feet would take her. She was almost there. But as she approached the guardhouse, her chest heaving with exhaustion, a small movement across the street attracted her eye. Through the window of a white Toyota,
she saw a man pulling something black over his head. The chokidor must have noticed as well, for all at once the air was filled with activity. A car door slammed, the guard yelled and toward his gun, and the girl slipped through the gate and dashed toward the coffeehouse door.
