<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>- fick jag äntligen inspiration att jobba efter&#8230;!</p>
<p>- har jag en bok av Barbara Wood i handen!</p>
<p>- upptäckte jag att det trots allt ligger ett litet snötäcke om än tunt, på marken&#8230;</p>
<p>- har jag varit ute på promenad vilket känns fräscht</p>
<p>- har jag insett att jag inte vill dricka lika mycket kaffe och kanske äta lite bättre mat <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> Har därför skaffat en rad goda teer och gjort en matsedel!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://artambience.wordpress.com/files/2008/11/000_1416.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-139" title="Jennifer och Saga" src="http://artambience.wordpress.com/files/2008/11/000_1416.jpg" alt="Jennifer och Saga" width="496" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>Här är min äldsta och yngsta flicka som båda är hemma och har förkylning! Den yngre är i och för sig nästan alltid hemma ändå. Jag vill dra på detta att ha henne på dagis ännu så länge! Men hon är ganska busig, till och med som förkyld. Fast gulligt busig.</p>
<p>Nyss blev det en paus därför att Saga (den yngsta) råkade snubbla och det tog mitt över tänderna mot golvet. Det blödde en del och hon är inte allt för lätt att få titta i munnen på. Det blöder både bakom framtänder uppe och nere. Ska ringa till tandläkaren då de kommer tillbaks från lunchen snart och höra vad de säger. Jag kanske inte bör ge henne palt som var tanken.</p>
<p>Tja, alla dagar är ganska olika. Jag hade en rad av planer som inte blev av pga förkylda barnen och när de inte blev av igår gick luften ur mig lite. Kände mig smått apatisk. Borde företa mig något vettigt istället kanske?</p>
<p>Jag vill börja träna lite, jag vill läsa mer -längtar mycket efter att låna någon av Barbara Woods böcker som jag inte läst än från biblioteket, jag längtar efter snön -då blir allt lite ljusare och fräschare även om det är mörkare ute.</p>
<p>Jag funderar väldigt på vad jag ska hitta på för motiv till konstskolans senaste uppgift - ett eget experiment&#8230; Valfri stil och valfritt motiv. Funderar och funderar och söker efter inspiration.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Ah, the joys of playing catch-up.  I seem to be doing WiB in bursts during my daughter&#8217;s vari]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Ah, the joys of playing catch-up.  I seem to be doing WiB in bursts during my daughter&#8217;s various social activities.  This time, it&#8217;s sewing lessons, for I am about as domestic as&#8230;now I&#8217;m trying to remember if Bridget Jones was totally crap at keeping her house up.  I bet she was.</p>
<p><em>Domina</em> by Barbara Wood isn&#8217;t unlike another one of her novels, <em>Soul Flame</em>, which might have been the first thing of hers I&#8217;d read.  (It&#8217;s also possible I read <em>Butterfly</em> before that, but I had no idea it was her because she was using a pseudonym because the book was totally awesome trash, from what I remember, and I will remember more soon because I found it at the used bookstore the other day.)  Both books revolve around women interested in medicine, <em>Soul Flame</em> in the time of Caesar Augustus, and <em>Domina</em> in Victorian England. <em> Domina</em> follows Samantha Hargrave, who is, of course, extraordinarily beautiful, as she struggles to be accepted as a doctor by a society that considered women physically and mentally incapable for the job.  In so many ways, the Victorian era is even more repressive than Ancient Rome.  Oh, how we love to go forward as the human race, don&#8217;t we? <em> Domina</em> and <em>Soul Flame</em> shared enough plot points that I felt that I could predict where the book was going, but I&#8217;d be lying if I said Wood didn&#8217;t manage to surprise me at times.  Other than that, it&#8217;s an engrossing read&#8211;oh, and a gross read at times as well.  There was one part where I just had to skim, practically skip, but I&#8217;m a big wimp now.  Loved this book.  Highly recommended, especially for those who grew up in the &#8217;80s reading the big, time spanning dramas.</p>
<p><em>Vampire Loves</em> by Joann Sfar was a cute graphic novel about an old-fashioned vampire in a world of ghouls, monsters, and tree people.  However, don&#8217;t confuse &#8220;cute&#8221; with &#8220;childlike.&#8221;  There are a couple of adult themes going on.  It&#8217;s nice to read something translated every once in a while, especially with graphic novels.  A great pick-up for Halloween, e-friends!</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s see, what else: I read <em>In Milton Lumky Territory</em> by Philip K. Dick, one of his straight-up fictions (rather than his usual sci fi).  It&#8217;s always strange to read a new PKD, because you assume that after an author dies, only a few works will show up in your library, not a VC Andrews amount.  And SHE&#8217;S got a ghostwriter.  But that&#8217;s just my paranoia, I suppose.  This is the fairly depressing story of a traveling salesman who ups and marries some chick sort of randomly and quickly and then they try to figure out what&#8217;s up with them and his job.  If there&#8217;s one thing that&#8217;s annoying about PKD books, it&#8217;s the passivity and manipulation in the female characters.  Is it the time period, or Dick?  I don&#8217;t know.</p>
<p>I decided to switch it up a bit by reading Margaret Peterson Haddix&#8217;s <em>Running Out of Time</em>.  It&#8217;s one of the few of her books I haven&#8217;t read (besides the Forbidden Children series, of which my old library system didn&#8217;t have the SECOND-what the heck?), and I was looking forward to it.  It&#8217;s another one of those books where I wish I hadn&#8217;t read the back&#8211;and I seem to be saying that a lot lately&#8211;because I would&#8217;ve like to have been surprised.  So I will not surprise you myself; I will just give you the bare facts, easily read in the first couple pages: Jessie lives with her family in a small village 1840s Ohio and some of her classmates are starting to get sick&#8211;really sick&#8211;and it falls to Jessie to help them.  LOVED this book.  It was a fast-paced read from start to finish, great for reluctant young readers.  </p>
<p>Then I finally got my hands on<em> Jinx</em>, the third Bigtime book by Jennifer Estep.  I loooove Bigtime.  Romance + superheroes + old-school superhero cheese = superfun! <em> Jinx</em> builds on Estep&#8217;s universe where superheroes are&#8230;pretty much the people you expect, and yet somehow no one really notices.  Although I have to say, she got me once with this one, but I won&#8217;t tell you which character.  Silly me!  The signs were there, but I just didn&#8217;t want to see it.  In this book, fashion designer Bella is the &#8220;jinx.&#8221;  Luck powers&#8211;could there be anything weirder?  The Marvel Universe has its own &#8220;lucky/unlucky&#8221; characters in the Scarlet Witch (unlucky in her WRITERS, am I right??) and Domino and Longshot, and then you have, uh, Jinx in the DCU, but I still feel that Estep does a great job with a very unusual, and often badly-written, power.  I liked the hero too.  Psyched for the next one.  Always psyched for the next one.  Plus, Ms. Estep helped me out with one of my thesis papers (she was originally a big part of my introduction, but was unfortunately cut for a less anecdotal approach) and she&#8217;s offered me some bookmarks!  YAYYYYY!  Er, but I am not saying this is a great book because I&#8217;ve been offered stuff.  (For those of my friends who get the joke, HA.)  I&#8217;m saying this because these are as close to a guilty pleasure as I get.  I rarely feel guilty about reading anything, except maybe Princess Ai, but there&#8217;s just something about getting into the more cheesy superhero universes that makes my superhero-lovin&#8217; self twitch.  Early collections of Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, etc?  *TWITCH*  But hey, this is my favorite, and maybe <em>only</em> forever, paranormal romance series.  I can live with that.</p>
<p>Hm.  I seem to be out of time again.  Ah well.  I got some good stuff up.  More next time!  I&#8217;ve still got so much to tell you about!</p>

<description><![CDATA[Woman of a Thousand Secrets by Barbara Wood

blurb from Barbara Wood&#8217;s site:

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Woman of a Thousand Secrets by Barbara Wood</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://ghtea.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/womansecretssm.jpg"></a><img class="size-full wp-image-187 alignright" style="border:0 none;" src="http://ghtea.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/womansecretssm.jpg" alt="" width="159" height="240" /></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">blurb from Barbara Wood&#8217;s site:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:left;">Tonina came from the sea: a baby found floating in a basket:  A &#8220;gift from the gods&#8221; her adoptive grandmother told her.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">She doesn&#8217;t look like the other villagers of Pearl Island. She is tall, lean and light-skinned, and considered &#8220;ugly&#8221;. Tonina longs to know where she comes from and what lies on the other side of the ocean, beyond her small island.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">A cruel trick leads Tonina away from the protective cove of her family to a new land: the land of the Maya, where she embarks on a quest to find a mysterious red flower with healing qualities. A flower that she believes will cure her ailing grandfather.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Her quest leads her on an epic and dangerous adventure through the rain forests of the Yucatan, the jungles of Guatemala, and into the ancient land of Mexico. She encounters a new and different people and in so doing, discovers the mysteries of her past.</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align:left;">I know we did a unit on this, but my memory of school learning on these ancient civilizations is pretty much nil. Still, I enjoyed the look into the daily lives of Mayapan&#8217;s citizens and the depiction of the Mayan and Aztec cultures and beliefs. After a stay in the city of Mayapan, what starts out as Tonina&#8217;s personal quest turns into a whole caravan of travellers, including Kaan the famous ball player, who owes Tonina a life debt and One Eye the dwarf. Not familiar with this part of the world, I think a map would have been helpful. The pace noticeably dragged on at the end with some of the villain Balam’s antics, but Tonina is ultimately successful in finding out who her people are and where she came from.</p>

<address>Woman of a Thousand Secrets</address>
<address>Barbara Wood</address>
<address>483 pages</address>
<address>will be published September 2008</address>
<p>I received <em>Woman of a Thousand Secrets</em> by Barbara Wood through the Library Thing Early Reviewers. This novel rocked.</p>
<p>SO, <em>Woman of a Thousand Secrets</em> is about Tonina, who lives on Pearl Island. She was found by a childless couple floating on the sea in a basket, who have raised her from infancy and loved her as their own, but realize that the islanders will never accept her. So they send her out to find a specific flower under the ruse that her grandfather (her adopted father) is sick and needs this flower to survive. This book takes place in Mexico/Central America in the 1300s. That&#8217;s the basis of the story.</p>
<p>This book starts off with a bang and doesn&#8217;t let up until the last page. If you hate to know <em>anything</em> before you start reading a book, then that previous paragraph is probably more than enough for you, so don&#8217;t read on. But what I&#8217;m about to tell you does in no way spoil the book.</p>
<p>Okay, so as Tonina is leaving Pearl Island, this one guy who hates her because she&#8217;s the best swimmer on the island AND she&#8217;s an outsider, decides he wants to kill her, but <em>he</em> ends up getting eaten by sharks, and then when Tonina gets to mainland, this dwarf with one eye rips her off but feels bad so returns what he stole and then plots how he will rip her off in the <em>future</em>, and there&#8217;s this <em>other</em> guy named Balam who has a gambling problem and he gets in a buttload of trouble which involves his friend, Kaan, and Kaan and Tonina kinda have a connection &#8217;cause they look like each other so they&#8217;re probably from the same peeps somewhere and there&#8217;s just a whole heckuva lot of murder, deceit, plotting, revenge, love, loss, and all kinds of other heart-racing events. Whew! That was a lot to say in one breath.</p>
<p>This book was so good I didn&#8217;t want to put it down&#8230;though I did start having issues with how things ended up working out a little too conveniently, and I&#8217;ll admit it brought the book down a bit in my rating. But it did satisfy my craving for justice and rightness and good things coming to good people and bad things coming to bad people, even if we have to wait a while for that stuff to happen.</p>
<p>When I told a friend about this book, she said, Oh, like <em>Clan of the Cave Bear</em>. And I was like, Well, I don&#8217;t know, I haven&#8217;t read that book. So that&#8217;s that. BUT, if you like <em>Clan of the Cave Bear</em>, then I assume you&#8217;ll like this. Don&#8217;t worry! You need not fear for my soul, I have put <em>Clan of the Cave Bear</em> on my BookMooch wishlist, but I&#8217;m waiting for a really nice copy to become available.</p>
<p>I highly recommend this book and I won&#8217;t hesitate to pick up other books by Barbara Wood.</p>
<p>Rating: 89 out of 100</p>

<description><![CDATA[Enrealidad, nunca he echo ningun comentario (en la web), sobre algún libro que halla leido, tal ves]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Enrealidad, nunca he echo ningun comentario (en la web), sobre algún libro que halla leido, tal ves porque no me sorprendio tanto o porque no tenia el lugar donde hacerlo.</p>
<p>Este libro (el secreto de los chamanes) llegó a mis manos como un regalo y debo decir que me llevo a lugares que no conocía.</p>
<p>Hace mucho tiempo no me pasaba aquello, cada ves que leia sus páginas me transportaba sin querer al lugar que estaba ocurriendo el echo, creia sentir lo que sentia la escritora (barbara wood) cuando lo escribió, aunque se que eso es casi imposible, pues son sentimientos que muy pocas veces se pueden describir.</p>
<p> La historia de hoshi`tiwa, la puedo describir como una historia de dolor, pasión, resignación y paz.</p>
<p>Me cuesta tanto poner en palabras lo que aquel libro me enseñó en secreto. Sé que es una novela, pero la siento màs que eso.</p>
<p>Por ùltimo, quiero rescatar lo que creo que es importante. La union con la naturaleza te acerca a dios.</p>
<p>Espero que no los haya aburrido con esto, pero como persona necesitaba comunicarlo, no a una sola persona, si no que a muchas.</p>
<p>FELIZ AÑO NUEVO</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p align="justify"><img border="0" vspace="5" align="right" width="240" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41X2M1BESML._AA240_.jpg" hspace="10" height="240" />Wenn man Barbara Wood hört, denkt man an Liebesromane, an starke Frauen, die in einer schwierigen Gesellschaft ihren Weg gehen und an ganz viel Herzschmerz. Bis jetzt habe ich zwei Romane von ihr gelesen: &#8220;Bitteres Geheimnis&#8221; - der Klappentext klang sehr spannend, aber es entpuppte sich schnell als typischer Frauenroman, den man schnell weggelesen hat, ohne viel Stil und &#8220;Die 7 Dämonen&#8221; - es ging um Archäologie und Mythologie und war wirklich spannend und interessant. In letztere Sparte (also Archäologie und Mythologie) reihte sich laut Klappentext auch &#8220;Der Fluch der Schriftrollen&#8221; ein.</p>
<p align="justify"><!--more--></p>
<p align="justify">Ich muss gleich dazu sagen, dass meine Buchausgabe ein anderes Cover hatte. Bei dem Bild hätte ich das Buch nie gelesen.</p>
<p align="justify">Worum gehts?</p>
<p align="justify">In Jerusalem werden bei Ausgrabungen unter einem Haus Tonkrüge mit uralten Schriften aus dem ersten Jahrhundert nach Christus gefunden. Der Schriftenkundler Benjamin Messer bekommt die Rollen zur Übersetzung. Doch die Rollen sind mit dem Fluch Moses belegt.</p>
<p align="justify">Oh! *grusel grusel* Der Fluch Moses. Schön wär&#8217;s gewesen. Im Buch regt sich Ben Messer über die Journalisten auf, die in ihren Zeitungsartikeln über den Fund der Schriftrollen berichten und den Fluch als Aufhänger für eine höhere Quote nehmen. Anders war es bei dem Buch hier aber auch nicht. Kein Fluch, keine mysteriösen Todesfälle. Dies war aber nur ein Grund von vielen, warum das Buch eher in das untere Drittel meiner Qualitätsskala fällt.</p>
<p align="justify">Bis ca. Seite 100 war ich wirklich gefesselt. Ich interessiere mich für Archäologie und den ganzen Kram und in den Schriftrollen wurde vom Leben im alten Jerusalem berichtet und der Autor dieser Rollen, David Ben Jona, berichtete von einer schrecklichen Tat, die er getan hatte. Doch mit zunehmender Länge des Buches und das ist jetzt nicht so lang, es hat schließlich nur 290 Seiten, wurde das Lesen zur Qual. Das Muster war immer gleich: Es kommt eine Schriftrolle, Ben übersetzt sie und wartet ein oder zwei Tage auf die nächste. Er bekommt die Schriftrolle, übersetzt sie und wartet auf die nächste. Er bekommt eine Schriftrolle und&#8230; äh&#8230; Na ja irgendwann kam dann die letzte und das Buch war aus.  Mit jeder Schriftrolle, die er übersetzte steigerte sich Benjamin Messer mehr und mehr in das Leben des David Ben Jona hinein. Er wird von Wahnvorstellungen geplagt, hat Stimmungsschwankungen, Alpträume, Blackouts und wird zunehmend unruhiger, wenn er nicht sofort die nächste Rolle in den Händen hällt. Sicher sollte man Mitleid mit dem armen Kerl haben, der wohl auch äußerst attraktiv, lieb und nett ist. Aber es nervt nur noch und ist lächerlich. Ich quälte mich durch die letzten Seiten, denn ich wollte wissen, was David Ben Jona für eine schreckliche Tat begangen hat. Diese stellte sich dann auch (nach meinen Erwartungen) als wenig spektakulär heraus. Nach dem Lesen der letzten Schriftrolle ist Ben Messer wieder ganz der alte und reitet mit seiner neuen Flamme, die ihn durch das Lesen der Schriftrollen begleitet, hat in den Sonnenuntergang. Sollte ich erwähnen, dass es eine Studentin von ihm ist?</p>
<p align="justify">Der Schreibstil des Buches ist einfach und wenig poetisch. Wenn ich mich recht erinnere, gab es keine Schachtelsätze und das finde ich sowieso immer sehr bedauerlich. Denn Subjekt - Prädikat - Objekt - Sätze kann wohl jeder bilden.</p>
<p align="justify">Was bleibt?</p>
<p align="justify">A waste of time.</p>
