    Summary

    Bella Swan wasn't whole and she didn't think she ever would be again.

    Two years after being left in the woods by her first love and then discarded by the only other person she could call a real friend, Bella has returned to Forks.

    Can she hold herself together when Jacob Black comes back into her life?

    ~~~~

    Set two years after Jacob's first time phasing, but instead of telling Bella to remember the Quileute legends, he completely cut contact with her. Bella never went cliff diving and Edward did not return.

    Really, really great. Bella's suffering is depicted so realistically and it's everything I've been wanting.

    Summary

    Boromir has been trained in stewardship of a city at war. He knows how to set guard shifts, how to break through enemy lines, the weak points of a warg. From here to Rivendell, he knows his land, even the crumbling walls of Osgiliath.
    He does not know what flowers are in season, what sweetmeats and breads are acceptable, which wings to open for the elves and the dwarves. He does not know what to do about the fact that he’s offered to teach Aragorn to dance.

    Steward Ecthelion is in a hurry to share the joy of the birth of his grandson and the continuation of the glorious house of stewards. He brings his devoted warlord and friend Thorongil to the cradle.

    No one could have known at that moment what a short meeting between a wise man and a one-day-old baby would turn out to be and how closely the destinies of two people would intertwine.

    Summary

    “Stupid girl! If only she had accepted Mr Crawford; he would have been too busy preparing for the wedding, and he would not have been enjoying himself in London. Sir Thomas was angry, very angry, and he did not want to see Fanny—whom he considered the cause of Maria’s ruin—ever again.”

    Fanny is never brought back from Portsmouth to Mansfield Park. William is worried about her and introduces her to his friend Mr Campbell, the surgeon of the Thrush (who appeared briefly in Chapter 38). She befriends his cousin and finds happiness without the Bertrams.
