The Bridge Kingdom ( The Bridge Kingdom #1) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The premise of this book immediately drew me in because I absolutely adored Sierra Simone’s New Camelot Trilogy, and I thought I’d hit another goldmine with this story, which is about a Catholic Priest breaking his sacred, religious vows with a woman. I just need some mindless smut, you know? Literally, sometimes a reader like me just needs pornography in the written word format, there’s nothing else to it! I’ve been reminiscing about books/series like the Crossfire series, the Beautiful Bastard series, and even the New Camelot Trilogy (that’s written by this very same author), and I just wanted to read something along the lines of those kinds of books again it feels like it’s been awhile since I really have! I’ve been enjoying some new adult romance books by Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy, and while those are incredibly fun, they’re not entirely in the same ballpark as the other series I’ve just mentioned. I’ll admit that I was just in such a mood to read a smutty, erotic book when this book popped up into the bookstore one day.

In the past I read books and found enjoyment in them for more explicit reasons. Maybe this is a new kind of purpose in books for me. I enjoy the act of reading the book, less so the remembering, or the lasting things I get from it. I enjoy the reading, the words, the experience. It is hard to put a finger on it, but I think what I enjoy when I read these books is simply being in the moment. I read the book, I enjoyed the book, but afterwards I wasn’t exactly sure why. That changed in 2018 when I picked up a copy of 1Q84 on sale in the Kindle store. Murakami’s books were always of interest to me but in reading the blurbs I never really knew what I would be in for, so shied away from delving in. ![]() ![]() Fewer though might be familiar with Kesey’s second novel, ‘ Sometimes a Great Notion ’, written in 1964 – which a good number would claim to be the superior literary work. There may well be even fewer who are not familiar with the film version, featuring one of Jack Nicholson’s greatest performances – wherein he acts rather than mugs his way through proceedings. It’s my guess that there won’t be many readers of this website that are not familiar with Ken Kesey and his most famous book, ‘ One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest ’. Man against nature, rugged individualism, small-town life, family, relationships, love and death – that sort of thing! Hopefully, the choice I have made embodies some of those themes that exemplify much that is American and that the writers we tend to admire pen songs about. It feels like a good idea to widen the scope of this feature with a novel or two, perhaps a volume that has been unjustly neglected. ![]() ![]() A dark family drama played out in a rough world of its own. ![]() ![]() He's a Wall Street whiz, recovering from a divorce and seeking a fresh start.
