Bio for author Edgar Allan Poe:

 

Edgar Allan Poe is a legendary American poet, novelist, short story writer, editor, and literary critic. He was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1809.

 

Edgar's parents, who worked as Shakespearean actors, died when he was a small child. He lived with his godparents in Virginia until they moved for a time to England, where Edgar attended school and fell in love with the poetry of Lord Byron. Later, Edgar was disinherited by his wealthy godfather and lived in poverty for much of his life. He survived on editing and writing gigs. He finally achieved success with “The Raven,” which was published in 1845.

 

Haunted by death, Edgar lost most of the people he loved, and he died mysteriously when he was 40 years old.


My thoughts


Ok so I admit I haven’t really read anything by Edgar Allan Poe other than The Raven but I have been wanting to read more so I thought this would be a fantastic introduction to his poems. 


First, Little Owl House did a fantastic job with this book.  This book is gorgeous.  The illustrations are fantastic. Here is one illustration: 







This book is a great way to start reading Edgar Allan Poe’s work because I don’t know about anyone else but I found classic literature can be daunting, especially for beginners like me. The illustrations helped me to keep reading this one.  


I really liked the poem and now can’t wait to read more of Poe’s work.


I do highly recommend this to anyone 10 years and older and I do give this 5 out of 5.

My Favorite Cowboy by Donna Grant #Review

Image
*I received an eARC of this for my honest review*  Audrey Martinez is a veterinarian who has devoted her whole life to the care and protection of horses―even if doing so leaves her little time for meeting a man. Who would have thought that a strange case of criminal horseplay would lead her to falling deeply, wildly in love? If only the man who makes her heart race faster than a wild mustang would let his guard down, that is. . . Caleb Harper is no ordinary cowboy. Sure, he wears his hat, boots, and jeans like a second skin, and displays an easygoing charm that comes from years of working on the ranch. But with his military background, and Army buddies at his side, he is tried-and-true Texas tough. Audrey knows she can trust a man like Caleb to help her save horses. But can Caleb trust himself to resist his attraction to Audrey―or will the sparks of their desire end up getting them burned?   MY THOUGHT I read this as soon as I received the eARC last year because everything

Owning Violet (The Fowler Sisters #1) by Monica Murphy Review And Giveaway

*I received a copy of this book for my honest review* I’ve moved through life doing what’s expected of me. I’m the middle daughter, the dutiful daughter. The one who braved a vicious attack and survived. The one who devoted herself to her family’s business empire. The one who met an ambitious man and fell in love. We were going to run Fleur Cosmetics together, Zachary and I. Until he got a promotion and left me in the dust. Maybe it’s for the best, between his disloyalty and his wandering eye. But another man was waiting for me. Wanting me. He too has an overwhelming thirst for success, just like Zachary—perhaps even more so. He’s also ruthless. And mysterious. I know nothing about Ryder McKay beyond that he makes me feel things I’ve never felt before. One stolen moment, a kiss, a touch . . . and I’m hooked. Ryder’s like a powerful drug, and I’m an addict who doesn’t want to be cured. He tells me his intentions aren’t pure, and I believe him. For once, I don’t care. I’m willing

Take Me Back to Cairo by Pamela Paterson and Tarek Hussein (Review)

Image
* I received a copy of this book for my honest review* Yousef's aspiration to fit into his new country of Canada is upended by the lies he hears from both sides-his traditional family trying to keep him entrenched in Egyptian Muslim culture and his new motorcycle-riding girlfriend Janelle, who disguises her fear of commitment as a freewheeling lifestyle. Yoga-pant-and-flipflop-wearing Janelle is the living embodiment of the adventurous life that camel-hair-coat-and-shiny-shoes Yousef has long craved. Yet his desire to enjoy life with her can only be realized in the shadows, far from the prying eyes of his scheming family. At the same time, Janelle, too, grapples with her own struggles and undisclosed realities. Will the family intrigue, deception, and the chasm of cultural differences push Yousef and Janelle apart, or can the unbreakable bonds of affection triumph over all obstacles? MY THOUGHTS   What drew me to this book was that it was a little different from what I usually read
