"Game of Thrones"  "The Iron Bank of Braavos" 



Hi Maryann

My name is Lyn, I am one of the sly foxes.

Title: My Mother the Star

First Impression: When I was reading and got to the word technology and immediately it stuck out to me. Why would that word be used in 1920. I went and looked up the word to discover that I was wrong, the word has been around a lot longer than I ever knew. Wow, you can teach old people new things.

My Gram used to talk about listening to Al Jolson and Duke Wellington on the radio so those names were familiar to me.

What needs your attention: I didn't note any spag issues.

What part I liked best: I loved how the mom handled the science teacher. She was a force to be reckoned with for sure. I remember going to school with my middle son, the one I mentioned on Monyt's newsfeed promotion. He has always written very small which served him well in the Navy but not so much with his English teacher. She wanted him to write larger and he would start off big but it would go back to his normal size. So I asked if he could submit typed papers instead and she said no, only hand-written papers. I was furious that she was so rigid. So I would hand-write every one of my son's papers and then he would turn them in. It ended up to his benefit becasue I corrected it as I wrote. For the life I couldn't understand why it mattered between typed and handwritten so long as the child did the work.

Like your character in the story, her grade was never about her work.

Overall impression: It was fun glimpse into the past. The pacing was good and the details tied together nicely.
