Charles Schneider’s The Vale of Years

Cover of Charles Schneider's novel

The Vale of Years starts where Portrait left off. Nicole is now in modern day Paris and Susanne Bruante is in 1800’s Paris. She is found by Nicole’s mother in Nicole’s small apt. battered and bruised from coming through the portal. Nicole’s mother brings Susanne to her house and Nicole’s son knows right away this woman is not his mother. Susanne tells them that she is a relative. Read Vale of Years for the continuing story of Nicole and Susanne Bruante. This is a very good book and will keep you on the edge of your seat page after page. I absolutely loved this book and highly recommend it.

an original piece from Elizabeth Hughes

Since my poor laptop got a virus, I have had to go to the library and use the computers. This one is only 19 minutes left on it. I love reviewing and reading books. I love libraries and the feel of a book in my hand. With all the ebooks around, I still prefer a book, something I can hold, turn pages and the corner down to mark my place. I love to curl up with a book and a cup of tea and disappear into the world of whatever story I am reading at the time. I find it so sad when I see kids just sitting around playing games on phones and tablets and won’t pick up a book. Or parents that actually discourage their children to read books and won’t even let them check books out or have a free book. There is nothing in the world like reading a book. There are books on every subject and books that will let you get lost in your imagination.

I love mysteries, suspense, romance and thrillers the best. Since I have been reviewing books, I have read many different
kinds and it has opened my mind to all different subjects. I have the greatest respect for authors, it is very hard to write a book. Some people think it is easy, but, it is not. You can get frustrated and have writer’s block or simply wonder “will my book be good enough”. I try to suggest to people in our complex to start their kids out in reading some of the free books. They were even going to have a class in reading for the tenants, sadly, no one was interested. So, pick up a book or download one and escape into the world of books.
