Book Review: Jackie Townsend’s Imperfect Pairings
I received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Imperfect Pairingson May 15, 2013 and has 416 pages.Explore it on Goodreads or Amazon A novel about expectations and relationships, and culture clashes. Yes, I consider this a romance, but more of a love affair about wine. In 2014, Imperfect Pairings was nominated for the Indie Excellence Awards. In 2013, it won Chick Lit – IndieReader Discovery Awards, the Chick Lit/Women’s Lit – USA Best Book Awards, and the Global Fiction – ReaderViews Reader’s Choice Awards; it was given an honorable mention in the General Fiction – Writer’s Digest Book Awards in 2013; and, it was a finalist for the IndieReader Discovery Award for Chick Lit. My Take This story explores Imperfect Pairings on so many levels. It’s almost exhausting to consider. Townsend broke open old wounds, made me re-examine past relationships, wondered about wine, and checked for flights to Roma. I confess that I was torn between a “3” and a “4”.

To Cap or Not to Cap: Honorifics
Revised as of 28 May 2021 It’s a question of capitalization — and the number of Sirs I see capped in text drives me up the wall, scratching and clawing, snarling and biting. And, no, the capped Sir is not the only problem child. To be honest, it makes sense for the most part that most authors confuse some of them, but there are too many others that just make me want to tear my hair out!! So, a bit of background first. An Honorific is . . . First, an honorific is how people address one another. It’s the generic title, the title of a profession, of military rank, of inherited nobility or a ruler, a civil title, one of endearment, of a personal title. Adjective: (of an office or position) given as a mark of respect, but having few or no duties. Denoting a form of address showing high status, politeness, or respect An honorific title for addressing women Noun: a title or word implying or expressing high status, politeness, or respect And my explanation still hasn’t helped, has it? Not to worry, the table below should take away the mystery. While there are always exceptions, a good […]
