Fall in love with Shakespeare's Sonnets, rewritten in modern English - reworked, retold and reimagined.
'James Anthony has done something I would have confidently stated to be impossible. He has \"translated\" Shakespeare's sonnets and he has done so with an insolent, loveable charm ... A dazzling success' - Stephen Fry
Rediscover the greatest love poetry ever written
Shall I compare you to a summer's day?
You're more delightful, always shining strong;
High winds blow hard on flowering buds in May,
And summer never seems to last that long...
Shakespeare's sonnets are some of the nation's favourite lines of verse, but the Elizabethan language can make it difficult to really understand them. Many guides offer to clarify the meaning, but lose the magic of the words by explaining them away.
James Anthony has done something boldly different.
He has rewritten the whole series of poems as sonnets using modern language, while retaining the rhythm and rhyme patterns that gives them such power. In doing so he breathes new life into the original poems and opens them up for a modern readership, demystifying Shakespeare's eternal poetry with provocative new translations and delightful new lines.
Presented as an attractive book with the original sonnets facing their new translations, this is a stunning collection of beautiful love poems, made new.

Kudos for A Place for Us!
Format: Kindle
A contemporary love story that doesn’t disappoint . We cheer on Jo and Lauren as they tackle the ups and downs, challenges and risks that come with any love affair. But this one is a special test to the two women’s commitment to each other, as society’s laws and opinions are the biggest hurdles they must face. Enmeshed in their current dysfunctional relationships with other people, Jo and Lauren are determined to have a second go at the true love they both had years ago, but that slipped away. Grayhall does a great job at ramping it up in the final chapters for an ending that truly delivers.

A Place for Us
Format: Kindle
Oh! 15 gold stars for this one! This book is so poignant and so very brave and authentic! This book is a permission for us to choose what we will and will not accept in our relationships. This book is more than hope, this book is determination! Pure driven determination to not settle, but to go to the mat to have our life the way we want we want it. I cannot over recommend this book. Thank you, Patricia Grayhall! Keep writing!

Finding a Home
Format: Paperback
A Place for us is a beautifully crafted and deeply moving love story about two women--one American, one British--who first meet in their youth and reconnect decades later. At its core, the novel portrays their struggle to navigate restrictive immigration laws in pursuit of a life together. Their journey highlights the urgent need to protect and legalize same-sex marriage, especially at a time when such rights feel increasingly precarious. A timely and relevant read.

So good
Format: Paperback
RATING : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ SPICE: 🔥🔥 Hot damn Hannah did it again .if you want to read more sapphic romance, this one will absolutely blow your mind! Bryce and Daisy were everything I wanted and more! Fake dating will always be the superior trope, but when it’s forced proximity grumpy x sunshine and the grumpy one is secretly head over heels for the sunshine one, well I’m a damn puddle on the floor! I still can’t decide if I loved Bryce or Daisy more, but I do. Know this might just be my favorite book Hannah has ever written. ☀️ Fake Dating ☀️ Grumpy x Sunshine ☀️ Forced Proximity / Roommates ☀️.Tattoo Artist / Teacher ☀️ So much pining I love Bryce so much. She is a total hard shell but she has such a gooey inside and she showed it so well with Daisy. This whole setup was fantastic, Daisy needs a place to stay so Bryce gets volunteered to give up her spare room. Daisy think Bryce doesn’t like her, but then you get to Bryce’s POV and you realize how down bad she has it for Daisy. Then Daisy proposes the fake date and OMG the tension. The longing. The secret tattoos. I loved every bit of these two figuring each other out. Watching Bryce absolutely melt for Daisy was just so so good. This may be a slow burn, but when it burns…. It’s an inferno. And the tattoo parlor scene is imbedded in my brain forever. Just everything about this made me happy and I will forever love Cherry Peak, these characters and this series! Now bring on Darren!
