Hello!

Great post!

I think it is so important to keep the history of the suffragettes alive so people will appreciate their opportunity to vote.

If you are interested in all of the twists and turns that played into women winning the vote way back when, you will find “The Privilege of Voting” fascinating.

I am the author of this new and exhaustively researched historical e-mail series that tells the stories of suffragettes.

I know this is a different way to tell a story, but I am trying to make learning women’s history exciting, easy and fun!

This serialized novella goes behind the scenes in the lives of eight well-known women from 1912 to 1920 and reveals the sexy, shocking truth of HOW the suffragettes won the right to vote in England and America.

Presidents Roosevelt, Wilson and Harding are featured, and the women depicted include two presidential mistresses, Edith Wharton, Isadora Duncan, Alice Roosevelt, and two of the most beautiful and outspoken suffragettes, American Alice Paul and Brit Emmeline Pankhurst.

But this is no boring history report. The chronological series is written in a unique, fun short story format called Coffeebreak Readers.

There are weddings and funerals, babies in peril, damsels in distress, war, peace, broken hearts and lots of hot extra-marital affairs! The best part is that it’s ALL true!

Each action-packed episode takes about 10 minutes to read, so they are perfect to enjoy on coffeebreaks, or anytime.

‘So long at the fair’ is in my TBR pile but I’m honestly not looking forward to it. I haven’t heard anything good… plus one of my friends picked it up at the beach and gave up only a few pages in lol.

I loved The Lace Reader, including the ending – but I can see your point about not enough groundwork. It was pretty abrupt. I also agree about So Long at the Fair. Frankly, I didn’t really see the point of the entire book – I think what the author really needed was a good editor who would have made her rewrite it a few times.

I have read any of those but I am not sure what kind of ending I like. Opening leave to many question and Happy ending can be to predictable.

I was disappointed with So Long at the Fair, too.

The flashbacks in general were a little hard to follow, keep up with.

There are some authors who write open endings that cause me to think them lazy!

I disagree about the ending of The Lace Reader because Barry establishes Towner as an unreliable narrator from the very first sentence…don’t want to give away anything to those who haven’t read it yet, but I loved that ending. I’ll be looking forward to your review.
