Secret Santa: Bluegrass Brothers Series

             Well I am back Kathleen Brook's series again and I have just gotten through some her next book Secret Santa. So far I have to say I am totally lost on what is going to happen, she has not started this book the same as she has her other books in the Bluegrass, and Bluegrass Brothers series where you know right from the beginning whom one of the main characters is. Although in this book I am still digging to see whom the main characters are, I have my predictions on Tammy and Pierce but so far from how this book has been going you never know it might even be the long lost, but not so long lost brother Cy from the famous/ infamous Davies family. I won't be suprised if it someone who is out of the spectrum of any of my predictios on who the romance and maybe crime is between this time.

  

Kathleen Brooks

This week since I have talked already so much about the books in her series "Bluegrass" I am going to talk about her, the author, Kathleen Brooks. Kathleen has written a total of 11 books and they were all series. She is a New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author. The genre of her books are romantic suspense, featuring strong female roles, happily-ever-afters, and humor. You can imply that she is an animal lover from her book "Rising Storm" where the crime they encounter in the book is surrounded by dogs. She also supports animal rescue organizations and other non-profit organizations to help protect our four-legged family members. There is much known about this author although mostly you can imply what her personality is and what she likes based upon her books  for example you can imply that because it sounds like she knows a lot about Kentucky that maybe she has lived/ lives there or has visited many times and really enjoyed the area. You can also imply that because it is about girls falling for farmers and the women are typically business related workers that she has lived or enjoys farms. So if you read her books you might come to find more out about her that you can imply.

Bluegrass series: analysis

I decided for this week I am going to talk about the series "The Bluegrass Brothers". Overall these books are quite enticing. They are actioned filled along with romance to give an interesting twist. The books have great diction, tone, figurative language, etc. The tones are timid, angry, frustrated, scared, embarrassed, over joyed, and many more. Figurative language includes personification, metaphors, similes, hyperboles, etc. Also the setting of each of the books are varying backgrounds of the main characters from lawyer, eterny, sheriff, farmer, veteranarian, and lots more. Those little bits of pieces fit together like a puzzle making the many of books in this series really good.

Fahrenheit 451

     I haven't read much of my personal book so I'm going to talk about my current class book. I am going to ask questions, look at different writing techniques, figurative language, etc. 

   So far this book is quite confusing in other words you, the reader will ask many, many questions. For example I have asked this question too many times to count "why?", "what's going on?", "what in the world just happened?". Those questions and many other questions pop up as you near the end particularly in part 3. This book also is written with great figurative language including metaphors, similes, hyperboles, personification, etc. Those kinds of figurative language are used often in Montag's thoughts on the life outside of the city with many of the smells, sounds, sights, and many more things. The author also uses lots of cliff hangers jumping from one topic to the next but eventually getting back to it and leaving you questions on things that make no sense at all. Te author engages you in the book as if you are the actual main character and you have the same insights as them. I could go on forever about the different things that Bradbury does in Fahrenheit 451 but then I'd have an enternity number of pages talking about all the questions that pop out of the book and his writing style. So to see more on what Bradbury does in this book look up his writing styles/ techniques or just read the book.
