Get to Know You Book Tag

  *muffled rustling and tapping*  *a loud creak* *ceiling caves in*  *Ella lands dramatically before you, cape swooshing*  Hello everyone! 'Tis been a while, hasn't it? Only... two months, 16 days. A wee bit longer than I originally planned, but life didn't go according to plan. *clears throat* So, while I read a book so I can actually review a book, I have come to thee with a book tag that I stole from Sara at Baking Up Stories . Let's get started, shall we? ________________________ Your favorite book of all times:  *shrieks and hides under cape* not this question again! That is a physically impossible question to answer. There are so many amazing books! *laughs* But actually... There is one book that is far superior to any other. The Bible. Without a doubt, that's my favorite.

Once Upon A Time Book Tag

  Hello folks! Today we're doing something a tad bit different, for a few reasons. First of all, I had some people tell me that it would be cool if Wisteria Lane had some book related posts that weren't book reviews. And second, this was quicker than a full book review which was necessary for reasons that will be stated after the tag. And I get to tell y'all about more than one book at once!! So, we're here today with a book tag! *cheering*  I stole  found this tag from Lizzy at A Bit of Everything . And she got it from Tori at Sweet Obsession . Both of which are amazing blogs.

  Today we have A Sparrow Alone by Alicia Petersen.  Genre: Historical fiction Series: Stand alone novel Time Period: approximately 30  to 33 AD Setting: Israel Summary: "Two Jewish orphans living in a small village attempt to earn their livelihood in Roman-occupied Jerusalem. Mala sews for the wives of wealthy Roman aristocrats and watches in dismay as her brother, Abdon, becomes deeply entrenched in a life of crime. Then, suddenly, the whole village is rocked by the transformation of one of its residents- and the name that seems to be on everyone's lips."  (The summary is from the back of the book) Characters:  Mala- 17 years old Abdon- 19 years old Tahath- 19 years old   Writing Style:  written in third person, solely from Mala's perspective. At times the writing feels a bit strained, with prolonged pauses between words shown with ". . ." or lots of dashes, but overall, the writing is well done and intriguing. A Sparrow Alone had a quiet, simpl...
