Rachel Reviews: The Many Adventures of Donnie Malone by Paul E. Doutrich
The Many Adventures of Donnie Malone is just that: a book which describes the adventures of one man, mainly in aviation. However, that career and those adventures include the major wars of the last century, pilots being required to fight, and so, you have a war novel as well as one that charts the more personal struggles and triumphs of Donnie as an individual.

Mary's Awakening
It was her first fairytale. Mary's eyes were wide as her mum told her about the boy and girl with the funny names in the forest, dropping breadcrumbs and hoping that they would find their way home. It was a story that inspired uncertainty and insecurity.

Rachel Reviews: The Farm by Randy O'Brien
There was much to like about this book. The action is set mainly on the farm where Mary Lou and Brother live, the older members of the Wright family with Mary Lou's daughters, Millie, Annie and Snaps, whose real name is Ginger. The novel focuses mainly on Snaps but we learn about the lives of the other characters throughout the narrative as well.

It was a great thing and should be treated as such, as should all the associated Love attributes: respect, trust, companionship to name a couple.

I'm not good at serialisation but I had to return to Susan and Barney and their day at the beach which was a story I wrote back on January 16th. I didn't like leaving Susan like I did, nor Barney, in their plight and so, I've returned to expand on it. The first part is here:

The Human Library. Content Warning.
"I am not going to give you community hours. Instead, I'm going to sentence you to serve 50 hours at The Human Library." The judge looked at the youth. He believed everyone should be given a chance and Kevin, hostile, yes, but still so young, did not look like he had been given much of one so far. He could offer him that.
