THE SECRET SCRIPTURE 5

In my book i have arrived to an important part because one of my main characters : ( Dr Grenes ) who is the doctor in our mental asylum. His relationship with his wife has been on a downwards spiral because they never had a child and that hurt Dr Grene's wife as being a lady and having maternal instincts that she could not fur fill. Soon she became elder and started becoming sick. Dr Grene and his wife barely spoke and one evening that changed they enjoyed their company together very much but after that amazing night. Dr Grene's wife died, we are now seeing how much this is effecting him and how he is changing his perspective on life and himself.. An example is that he shaved all his beard to feel younger. All theses different stories with narraters confuse me quite a bit but i am trying to understand.

I have started a new book called "Mortal Instruments: City of Bones"

I have started a new book called Mortal Instruments: City of Bones. I have only read a few pages but it already seems very interesting and the characters are fascinating especially Clary and Jace.
Through the course of this book, my character "kid" as I call him because I still don't know his real name yet, the characters have evolved and got more arrogant. I can feel a sense of coldness and hatred of some sort coming from the "kid".
I am getting very confused as to what is happening and I am starting to read it very, very slowly because of having to re-read the page a couple of times before actually understanding it.
Right now, the "kid" is at court taking notes for his classes and one of the defendants is Hanna (the woman he fell in love with). She is in court for having apparently killed hundreds of prisoners during the war when the bombing happened. Hanna and a few of the other guards locked prisoners in a church whilst changing the location, the bombers flew over and as the prisoners were locked inside they either blew up or burned to death. Now in court, her and some of the other guards are on trial for having "murdered" these prisoners.

The Necropolis

I have now finished The book Necropolis in the Power of five series and in this book there is a little twist at the end and they go through a door and they all get split up and no one knows where they are.....

I would definetly recommend this book and throughly enjoyed it.

I have finished my book "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time"!



I have finished my book which I am really happy about though I am sad that it ended. It had a very good ending and it was really interesting to see the world from someone else's point of view especially of someone who had Asperges Syndrome. It was fascinating to see what someone with this illness was scared of and how hard and challenging something like taking the train to London was for him. Over all it was an amazing book and I was really captivated by Christopher's personality.

THE SECRET SCRIPTURE 4


This blog post I decided to write about the man who created this piece of literature:

Sebastian Barry born on July 5 in 1955 he is an Irish playwright, novelist and poet. Barry is considered a
gifted writer for his dense piece of literature. Barry's career as a writer began in poetry before he started writing plays and novels. In recent years his fiction writing triumphed over his work in the theatre in terms views and popularity.
Barry has been twice shortlisted for the “Man Booker Prize” for his novels “A long, long way “and of course the Secret Scripture the book I am reading. His work in fiction came along in 1990’s with the novel “A long, long way” The book I am reading now won the “James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction”

Barry was born in Dublin, his mother an actress He went to the Catholic University School and Trinity college all in Dublin. Barry lives in County Wicklow with his wife also an actress and has three children.


Finally I am advancing slowly but surely in this book at page 120
I am currently reading a book called Flapper, by Joshua Zeitz. It take splice in the 1920s, so a bit after the first world war. It is about America's first sexual revolution and about how America came to be this party like country. All the girls wanted to be flappers, go to parties, get drunk and be intimate with a man. These were the times where the women were becoming more liberal and had less rules, the could now smoke in public, drink in public and more and all of them wanted to shorten their hemlines and they all wanted to be celebrities.

"Flapper is a dazzling look at the women who launched the first truly modern decade." - Joshua Zeitz
