She continued writing until just ten days before her death, 69 years later, filling 122 volumes. She was instructed in this by her governess, Lehzen, and her mother inspected the journals each day until she became Queen. Victoria started a daily journal in 1832, when she was just thirteen years old, and her first words were, "This book, Mamma gave me, that I might write the journal of my journey to Wales in it." The keeping of such journals was common at that time. The collection is stored in the Royal Archives and, in 2012, was put online in partnership with the Bodleian Libraries. Extracts were published during her life and sold well. Queen Victoria maintained diaries and journals throughout her life, filling 122 volumes which were expurgated after her death by her daughter Princess Beatrice. ![]()

There were no details about how someone died, how someone was wounded, and how someone got away. I did not like the major crisis at the end because I didn’t know what happened. ![]() There’s a happy ending for the good guys. (But he does kill and mutilate people in this story.) This is the first book in the series. So in that way Dexter is one of the good guys. Dexter eagerly smiles and thinks “Yes I do.” Dexter’s foster father imprinted upon him a golden rule - never kill the good guys, only bad guys. In another scene Dexter is thinking about the killer taunting Dexter saying do you want to play? Normal people would run. Then he says narrow like a refrigerator truck. His sister asks “why narrow?” Dexter doesn’t know but it just feels right. One fun scene was Dexter saying the killer likes a cold room (pause) and narrow. Dexter is a great help to cops investigating killers, because Dexter thinks like them. He likes to kill people and feels no guilt. ![]() ![]() ![]() Kara comes up with an elaborate scheme to break up Becky and her boyfriend.

At best Innocence tells the same type of story from the male protagonist's perspective rather than the female protagonist's perspective used in Mirth. A sequel isn't right, Innocence almost felt like a toned down re-write of Mirth. In fact, to me Age of Innocence seemed like an unofficial sequel to House of Mirth - more superficial, more melodramatic. I loved House of Mirth, but I thought Age of Innocence covered the same ground as House of Mirth without adding anything new. In particular, I'd be curious to learn more about Wharton's motivation for writing The Age of Innocence since it is so similar to The House of Mirth. I have recently re-read Mirth & Innocence and I would be interested in comments comparing the two novels. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Like so many elite athletes, he excelled at other sports and initially wanted to play for the Oakland Raiders.Īt Oakland Tech High School, Henderson also ran track for a bit, played football, basketball and baseball.

At the 1984 All-Star Game with Eddie Murray (left) and Chili Davis (right), Henderson was now a perennial All-Star - but fumed about not being paid as much as the game’s home-run hitters. ![]() |
