I wonder if she had an underlying depression or melochlolia as she read this book ? Having adjusted to Jilly Bond’s narrations, I was eagerly a waiting this new release and to hear this beloved and multi layered story, but I am struggling, and actually beginning to feel quite depressed as I listen to this young woman’s voice. this narration of Coming Home by Helen Johns is like nails on a chaulk board, sadly there is an actual under lying whinning to this poor women’s voice.I have looked at her acting reel on line - and she has far more depth of being and aliveness. While I was eventually able to adjust to Jilly Bond reading Winter Solstice, and a few more of these newly released recordings. I listened to these stories once a year and was transported completely to the two places of my childhood Scotland and Cornwall. Full of Life, Deeply Heartfelt, Nuanced with an exquisite well trained and beautiful voice.

If you could sum up Coming Home in three words, what would they be?Ĭoming Home and Winter Solstice are two beloved stories by Rosamund Pilcher. 5/24/2023 0 Comments Dragonspell by donita k paulPlease do yourself a favor and pick up this book. I absolutely adore his character development. Bardon's really secretive nature is really attractive. I ship me and Bardon *cough* I mean Kale and Bardon. Paul can write some really awesome villains.Ī REALLY HANDSOME KNIGHT WITH BLUE EYES AND BLACK HAIR AND ABS AND MUSCLES AND SECRETS WITH A SLIGHTLY STUCK UP YET LOVEABLE ATTITUDE. Seriously, these evil wizards are bad to the core. I would classify these awesomely good wizards under the Lord of the Rings wizard category. He is adorable! And, he turns into a tree if he stays still for too long, so how is that not cool? Now, I know when wizards get brought up, the automatic thought is, "Harry Potter." I assure you, these wizards are nothing like the Harry Potter wizards. Anyway, when I say wizards, I mean specifically Wizard Fenworth who is my dream grandpa. Gandalf in this gif is under the spell of TobyMac. They're adorable! I want some.Īll I can say is, I think Mr. I mean, different colors mean different abilities! Purple = singing. There are little dragons called minor dragons which remind me of the Terrible Terrors from How to Train Your Dragon. Why? Let me indulge you in the greatness of this book.
