Books: The Olive Grove and The Real Valkyrie
Today we are recommending The Olive Grove by Eva Glyn. This is a book about two people who help each other to move forward in their lives. After an affair with her married boss, Antonia Butler needs a change so she gets a job as a housekeeper in a small boutique hotel in Croatia. There she meets the owner of the hotel, Damir Maric, a young man haunted by his past as a child refugee of war. This book has an interesting plot and characters worth rooting for. Although it is not strictly a romance the story does involve some romance. However, one of the main draws of the book is its beautiful setting. The author does such a great job of describing the environment of the story that you really feel like you are right there with the characters.
Today we are talking about The Real Valkyrie by Nancy Marie Brown. This book paints a picture of Viking life and particularly what it was like to be a female warrior in the Viking world. It is interesting and presents a side of women's history that is not really talked about or discussed in most books and/or history classes. It does delve quite deeply into the subject, however, and can be a lot to process if you are not really interested in the subject. If you are particularly interested in the subject of Vikings and/or female warriors or if you just want to look at a different side of women's history than you normally get to learn about, you may find it fascinating.
Today we are talking about Dial Marula Oil Moisturing Hand Soap. This soap moisturizes your hands while you wash them and leaves them feeling soft and smooth. However, the scent is a bit strong, and it smells more like perfume than the more natural smelling scent it is allegedly supposed to have. Accordingly, if you are particularly sensitive to the smell of perfume, you may not like it.
And that's our view. Tune in tomorrow for Where-To-Go Wednesday.
