![]() ![]() ![]() My theory – Did anyone else think that Jules was going to turn out to be the true naturalist queen? I’m still convinced it’s going to happen in a future book. I hope this doesn’t come out too stream of consciousness, but here we go … Jules ![]() For the first time ever, I felt compelled to write a spoilery post about a book where I just talk about all of my thoughts and feelings. I just finished reading Three Dark Crowns last night (I’m writing this at the beginning of August), and I spent the whole night laying there, unable to sleep because so many thoughts were spinning around in my head. ![]() One other note: If you’ve already read the other books in this series as well, once you’re done reading this post, head over to my spoiler-filled discussions of One Dark Throne, “The Young Queen” and “The Oracle Queen” and Two Dark Reigns and give me your thoughts! Now onto the good stuff… NOTE: In case you missed the title of this post, BE WARNED NOW THAT IT WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS! If you want my non-spoilery thoughts on this book, check out my review instead!

While doing so, Newton had also been keeping careful notes on gravitation-inspired, as the old story goes, by the falling of an apple-and on the nature of the solar system, all of which would yield publications that would cinch Newton’s fame. He was soon a fellow and master, and before he was 24, he “had become the most advanced mathematician the world had yet known” by developing fluxions, or what is now called the calculus, by which a scientist could describe quantities that are constantly changing. Small and weak, Newton was still a scrapper, unafraid of a fight but when he wasn’t scrumming, he was under a tree or a hedge with some difficult book, and when he arrived at Cambridge, in 1661, he was primed to do great things. Thus spurned, Newton plotted revenge, for, as Christianson ( The Last Posse, 2001, etc.) writes, he could carry a grudge forever. ![]() Isaac Newton was fortunate enough to have traded up at birth: his small-landholding father died and his mother married a rich man and insisted that her son be given a trust fund, allowing him to live comfortably-if at a distance, since the price of having that fund meant living with his grandparents. Slender but detailed life of the famed scientist and inventor. ![]() ![]() ![]() By 2006, with over 58 Million copies of her books have been sold worldwide, with translations appearing in 12 languages, Johanna Lindsey is one of the world's most popular authors of historical romance. Johanna Lindsey wrote her first book, Captive Bride in 1977 "on a whim", and the book was a success. After her husband's death, Johanna moved to Maine, New England, to stay near her family. ![]() The marriage had three children Alfred, Joseph and Garret, who already have made her a grandmother. In 1970, when she was still in school, she married Ralph Lindsey, becoming a young housewife. Her father always dreamed of retiring to Hawaii, and after he passed away in 1964 Johanna and her mother settled there to honor him. The family moved about a great deal when she was young. Johanna Helen Howard was born on Main Germany, where her father, Edwin Dennis Howard, a soldier in the U.S. ![]() ![]() ![]() Years ago, two out-of-towners met at the University of Sydney.
