Renegade by Sarah Parr, won over at Leontine's Book realm. Sarah also sent me the yummiest cookies, candy and tea.Captain Jonathon Barry is captivated the instant he sees Jaline - she is too magnificent not to notice. Her voice is intoxicating, soft as velvet with a sweet, lilting quality, as she recounts an evil bargain made against her will. She is to be his mistress, and he may do with her as he pleases. Jonathon is deeply torn, for Jaline is indeed his by right. She is only a slave, the prize he has won in a Constantinople gambling den. Trembling, bared to him, body and soul - oh no - he can see how cruelly she has been treated. It is clear that Jaline is in danger still and he may well be her only hope. Yet even a renegade like Jonathon would risk anything to save so beautiful a woman...and to love her, if she will let him.
The Magician's nephew by CS Lewis. First book.
My boyfriend's mother got this for me when they were at this huge fair over the weekend where they sell everything. So she came back with a book for me, and something for him too.

I tried reading The Magician's Nephew but just couldn't get into it.
ReplyDeleteMondays: What's up?
Hi Blodeudd,
ReplyDeleteThe picture you send of the Turkish delights had me drooling. Glad you enjoyed it :)
Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteHow nice of your boyfriends mother to take an interest in your hobby and buy you a book.
ReplyDeleteI love CS Lewis's A Grief Observed. I'm sure the Magician's Nephew is equally great.

I love the Chronicles of Narnia. The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe is next one in the series and is probably my favorite. Enjoy!
