Description:
The new memoir in a triptych from prize-winning writer and filmmaker Xiaolu Guo in which she moves to Hastings to find a room of her own and immerses herself in local history
'This is urgent, compelling but also delightful writing' Lauren Elkin
In the depths of winter, Xiaolu Guo moves into a tiny dilapidated flat on the Hastings seafront - a room of her own where she can spend time writing, liberated from her domestic responsibilities in London.
She immerses herself in the English landscape and its past and becomes preoccupied by the violence between Normans and Saxons. Filled with profound, beautiful and wry reflections on war, history, migration and belonging My Battle of Hastings is a chronicle of Xiaolu's life in Hastings and a portrait of a dislocated artist seeking to connect with her local environment in the hope of finding a deeper connection to her adoptive nation.
'Magnificent, brutal and poetic' Iain Sinclair
'There is nobody quite like Xiaolu Guo... With My Battle of Hastings, Guo shows us the effort that it takes to truly put down roots in a culture so different from the one she was born into' The Times

Editing and Hockey Research Would Have Made This Better
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
A bit of editing and research needed here. Maybe I’m just a hockey fan, but if you’re going to use actual NHL teams as opponents, please make sure you use actual NHL teams and not NBA team names. At the beginning of chapter 24, they play the “Philadelphia 76ers” which is NOT Philly’s NHL team. That’s an insult to Gritty and the Flyers, Philly’s actual NHL team. Honestly, if you’re going to use a fictional NHL team, them
just make all the opponent teams fictional too.
Additionally, I believe that trainers have an entire area to themselves, not just an office with one or two tables. June wouldn’t have to go through the locker room to tear the players; more likely she has her own space and office area. war the workout and recovery areas.

So So Amazing
Format: Kindle
I received this book wiht the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.
In this book we meet June Wilder, Rhett Lawson, Cole Thibault, & Elias Nystrom. When this book opens we find that June has just joined the Atlanta Reapers as their new physical trainer. From the moment she starts she knows that she is going to get push back but there is something about not only this team but these guys that have become more to her than she thought when she first started. Rhett is the kind of guy who make a joke with anyone. One night when something happens with June he realizes there is something more than just jokes with her. Cole has been compartmentalized his life for years now. With the addition of June to the team he finds himself finding a person who understands his compartments and lets him be him. Elias is a man who is a an island. When he learns that opening up to one person who sees him allows him to grow and heal in many ways. Can they all find a HEA or will their positions make that impossible?
Another amazing story by this author. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Good spicy campy hockey
Format: Kindle
I really enjoyed the character development. Reading about their growth and dealing with individual issues made good entertainment. Some surprising twists that made the book even better. Really glad we didn't have to go down the angst road where the public got to damage the budding relationships.

Great read!
Format: Kindle
Wonderful characters with great humor, a bit of mystery and a strong silent grumpy Sentinel to stand with the leading lady. They make her stronger but she also makes them stronger. I love the dynamics and the way it played out. This was a fun read!.
