Locklear Library: The Prince by Sylvain Reynard
Morgan and I recently benefited from good book release timing. As we were finishing up our year-long read of Dragonfly in Amber, we realized we would have the perfect opportunity to read the first novella in The Florentine Series before moving on to the next book in the Outlander saga. We read through The Prince in just a couple of evenings and found it an intriguing introduction to the underworld of Florence, Italy.
In case you haven’t read one of our Locklear Library posts before here is how it works. This will be a written conversation between us about our experiences and impressions of the book. We do our best not to disclose spoilers, but we will be talking about the story, and we have no idea what we’ll be asking each other about until now.
Jennifer will go first…
Locklear Library: Dragonfly In Amber by Diana Gabaldon
It’s hard to believe but, it’s been a year since our last Locklear Library installment. We really enjoy this segment and have wanted to do much more with it than we have; but therein lies the problem. Those Outlander books are big!
We read books together, which is to say that Jennifer reads them aloud while Morgan plays stick figure golf on his phone. Dragonfly In Amber, the second book in the Outlander series, is big enough to be mistaken for a family bible and we also had our hands full with the editing and publishing or our own novel. Needless to say, it was a long year that went by in a short time but during that time we have made a ton of Outlander (and OutMANder) friends.
To refresh your memory (and ours), this post will be a written conversation between us about our experiences and impressions of the book. We do our best not to disclose spoilers, but we will be talking about the story, and we have no idea what we’ll be asking each other about until now.
Morgan will go first…
Illustrated Temptations: Exposure by Morgan and Jennifer Locklear
Locklear Library: Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
Last summer, I noticed many of my online friends were discussing a series of novels and becoming quite frenzied over it. Knowing their collective great taste in books, I followed up and asked them about it during our vacation together in September. Seeing their enthusiasm was high and knowing a television adaptation of the story was in the works, I sat down in October to immerse myself in the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. Before I could finish the first book, I knew I’d found something exceptional and issued a reading challenge to Morgan. There was no way I was going to leave him out of this incredible reading experience. I loved what I was reading so much, that I read the book a second time, out loud to Morgan.
Locklear Library: Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell
It’s no secret that Morgan and I were high school sweethearts during the 1980’s. After several trusted friends insisted I read Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell, I was happy to follow their advice. As soon as I was done, I knew I’d found the perfect story to pass along to my husband.
Locklear Library: The Shadow Year by Jeffrey Ford
For our first post in the Locklear Library, I have challenged Jennifer to read a book that greatly influenced my current writing style. Since we collaborate on writing projects, I thought she would be particularly interested in what was shaking my monkey tree so hard.
