A Voice in the Wind (Mark of the Lion, #1)
by Francine Rivers
Genres: Christian Fiction, Historical Fiction, Christian, Fiction, Romance, Historical, Historical Romance
Average rating on Goodreads: 4.56

“The city was silently bloating in the hot sun, rotting like the thousands of bodies that lay where they had fallen in street battles.” With this opening sentence, A Voice in the Wind transports readers back to Jerusalem during the first Jewish-Roman War, some seventy years after the death of Christ. Following the prides and passions of a group of Jews, Romans and Barbarians living at the time of the siege, the narrative is centered on an ill-fated romance between a steadfast slave girl, Hadassah, and Marcus, the brother of her owner and a handsome aristocrat. After surviving the massacre of her family and the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans, Hadassah is captured and sold to a well-to-do merchant’s family. Brought to Rome, she is pressed into service as a personal slave to hedonistic Julia Valerian. Hadassah struggles to walk in the footsteps of Jesus and to treat her masters in a manner in keeping with His teachings, but she is forced to keep her religious identity a secret in order to survive. Confused and alone, she has only her faith to cling to as she tries to subtly bring God into the lives of her captors. Reckless, impulsive, and villainous, Julia tries to undermine Hadassah at every turn. But Julia’s brother, Marcus, is a different sort altogether. Is it possible for a love between Hadassah and Marcus to flourish considering not only their differing stations in life, but also the gap between Hadassah’s unrelenting faith and Marcus’ lack of belief in anything? Simultaneously, Atretes, a captured soldier from Germania, is forced to become a gladiator. This is the time of Rome’s decline and the decadence of a civilization on the verge of self-destruction serves as a powerful backdrop to the Barbarian’s struggle for survival in the arena.

Titus Andronicus
by William Shakespeare
Genres: Plays, Classics, Drama, Fiction, Theatre, School, Literature
Average rating on Goodreads: 3.69

Titus Andronicus is one of Shakespeare's earliest and bloodiest tragedies and was hugely successful in his lifetime. Subsequent generations have struggled with its bold confrontation of violence but in the 20th and 21st centuries the play has chimed with audiences again, perhaps because of its simultaneously shocking and playful approach to violent revenge and bodily mutilation. Jonathan Bate's original Arden edition was first published in 1995 and has had a significant influence on how the play has been performed and studied in the past 20 years. This revised edition includes a new 10,000 word introductory essay in which Bate reassess his views on the play's co-authorship with George Peele in the light of contemporary textual scholarship and updates his lively account of the play's performance history, on the international stage and screen. With detailed on-page commentary notes this will continue to be the edition of choice for students, scholars and theatre-makers.

I closed my hand around her tiny wrist, yanked her to me to gently place her back against the wall, and crashed my lips to hers. I kiss her with as much passion as I could give her. Her lips are softer and sweeter now. Tender. I ravish her plump lips in mine and continue to taste her as I feel her lightly tugging at my hair from behind.  Her moans just make my stomach churn in giddiness as she passes the warm palms of her hands down my stomach, grabbing my belt loop to thrust my hips toward hers. And not very gently either. I even feel her pressing her breasts against my chest, knowing just how crazy it was driving me. Groaning, I suddenly lose complete control of myself and forget all about being nice and good and innocent... Because with her, I know I’m really learning how to live.* * * *The Delinquent = Evelyn Jo. Born to be bad.
