His last pupil, Rotherham, is the one who will survive Linnaeus. Many of those pupils or “disciples” are dead, having suffered misadventure in pursuit of science. In “The English Pupil,” an elderly Linnaeus, who suffers from dementia and barely recognizes his own family, remembers his pupils and their adventures throughout the years. The character of Linnaeus, a naturalist famous for categorizing species of flora and fauna, is woven through at least three stories. Beyond science, Barrett also plays with ideas of feminism, broken families unhappily stitched together by marriage, and rivalries between naturalists. Several of the stories are set in the eighteenth or nineteenth centuries, and some in the twentieth. A few of the stories fall into the genre of historical fiction and all of them draw inspiration from Barrett’s training in science and the history of science. Ship Fever (1996) is a collection of seven short stories and one novella by Andrea Barrett.

Objectively, I think this book should be 4 stars because of some flaws, but I just loved it SO much despite those flaws. It is not a perfect book, and there is definitely room for improvement, but despite that, I really enjoyed it and I flew through it. I said in my review of These Hollow Vows that the ending was very promising and that I was expecting a more enjoyable second book. ✅□ Rushed resolution of the BIG problem at the endĤ.5 stars - I admit that I am not 100% objective, my heart is guiding me right now. ✅ Misha (can we get a spinoff pretty please?)

In Twice in a Blue Moon, Tate Jones confesses her deepest secret-that she is the hidden child of a famous movie star-to her first love Sam Brandis. Agreeing to a temporary truce, Olive and Ethan head to Maui pretending to be newlyweds…but soon realize that pretending isn’t so hard, after all. But when the entire wedding party gets food poisoning-except for Olive and Ethan-her sister’s free Hawaiian honeymoon is up for grabs. She’s especially dreading being forced to spend the day with the best man (and her nemesis), Ethan Thomas. In The Unhoneymooners, unlucky twin Olive Torres is not looking forward to her lucky sister’s glamorous wedding. Celebrate the best of New York Times bestselling author Christina Lauren with this boxed set featuring the “joyful, warm, touching” (Jasmine Guillory, New York Times bestselling author) The Unhoneymooners, the “emotional, sweet, and surprising” (Shondaland) Twice in a Blue Moon, and the “touching romantic comedy” ( Shelf Awareness) The Honey-Don’t List. The story was more about, shocking (sarcasm) of finding out a family secret that would had been buried along with their mother had Keira and her husband not decided to go on a trip to Norway, and who then needed her birth certificate to apply for a passport. And wouldn't you know it, turns out someone ended up bringing a cake, so the boys were rewarded in the end. The actual party was a couple of pages of nothing too exciting, except for two little spoiled boys thinking it was a birthday party, and whining because there wasn't a cake with candles to blow out. There was lots of writing leading up to the party, like locating photographs from the deceased mother's home to be made into books for everyone, and all the food preparation for the party. Actually very little is about the family reunion party. The name of the book is "Reunion", but it's not really about the family reunion. Why complete a book if I don't like it? Because I need to finish a book I start, always. It was more like because I skipped paragraphs, and basically then skimmed over the rest. This one took me 2 days, and it wasn't because I couldn't put it down. It usually takes me a week to read a book. Gosh, this one was really bad! So bad I can't even fathom passing it along to my sister to read, who I pass along all my books once I'm done.

Even though those cosmic story structures wouldn’t be introduced in the Fables books for a year or more, they were baked in from the very beginning.” Willingham continued, "Plus, I knew from the very beginning of Fables that my fictional universe would allow for many ways to get Bigby Wolf into the DCU and Gotham City. It’s automatically a fish-out-of-water story for at least one of the main characters, and that sort of story always works. “Why? Because Batman is a detective, and Bigby is a detective, and I love a well-crafted story crossing over characters from two different fictional worlds. “I’ve wanted to do this since the very first year of Fables,” said Willingham in DC's press release. The creative team also includes artist Brian Level, inker Jay Leisten and colorist Lee Loughridge. This six-issue mystery noir will be published under the DC Black Label imprint.
