VALENTINE DAY MYSTERY (Bonus pages! 25th Anniversary edition) ![]() ![]() ![]() But the Tube was packed solid, full of tired, cranky Londoners on their way home from work. “Cheers,” he said with a wink, as I wiggled my way off his leg.Īh, “cheers,” that wonderful multipurpose English term for anything from “hello” to “thank you” to “nice ass you have there.” Bright red (a shade that doesn’t do much for my auburn hair), I peered about for a place to hide. ![]() Murmuring apologies in my best faux English accent, I tried to squirm out from under his arm, tripped over a protruding umbrella, and stumbled into the denim-covered lap of the man sitting in front of me. A Frenchman, judging from the black turtleneck and the fact that his armpit was a deodorant-free zone. My nose banged into the arm of the man next to me. I clutched the overhead rail by dint of standing on the tippiest bit of my tippy toes. ![]() 5/13/2023 0 Comments Meet the Sky by McCall Hoyle![]() As they struggle to find safety, Sophie learns that Finn has suffered his own heartbreak but instead of playing it safe, Finn's become the kind of guy who goes surfing in the eye of the hurricane.

It’s a sci-fi book with a perfect balance of romance to keep you hooked. Giovanna and Tom Fletcher have done it again, only this time they have succeeded as joint authors.Įve of Man is the first in a trilogy of novels all about Eve who is the human race’s saviour.

Its racial and sexual content was at the heart of the complaints, and Sykes was quoted writing in her challenge: “In this day were we are being sued for using or saying the N word. In 2013, North Carolina’s Brunswick County Commissioner Pat Sykes, along with a handful of parents and teachers, made it their goal to remove Alice Walker’s The Color Purple from the local schools. This is our way of taking part in the American Library Association’s annual Banned Books Week, which brings together the entire book community in shared support of the freedom to seek and to express ideas, even those some consider unorthodox or unpopular. 2023 PEN America Literary Awards CeremonyĮvery year, PEN America asks PEN Members and supporters-writers and editors of all backgrounds and genres-to celebrate the freedom to read by reflecting on the banned books that matter most to them. ![]() 5/12/2023 0 Comments She hulk vol 1 deconstructed![]() ![]() ![]() Maybe completely new readers to superhero comics don’t know this - and Tamaki might’ve brought over some of her indie audience with her to this title so this could conceivably be a few peoples’ first ever superhero comic - but I’ve been reading superhero comics for years so I didn’t buy into the grief angle at all. Superhero deaths are an absolute joke - they don’t stay dead. Deconstructed follows Jen as she deals with her grief, gets back to lawyering and helps out a new client whose landlord is trying to evict them.įirst off, basing a series concept around an event is a terrible idea. Jen Walters/She-Hulk was put into a coma by Thanos in the Civil War II lead-in, waking up to discover that her cousin, Bruce Banner/The Incredible Hulk, was shot in the head and killed by Hawkeye. ![]() I’m pretty much completely turned around on that idea now, especially as indie comics creator Mariko Tamaki has written such a fucking awful She-Hulk here! Years ago I used to think indie comics creators would write better superhero comics if given the chance. She-Hulk, Volume 1: Deconstructed takes its premise from Civil War II so if you’ve not read that event and wanna avoid spoilsies, check that out before this. ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s at the bar that she meets a guy who has such an effect on her that she rushes off for a night of, well, let’s just say she could have been smarter.Īnd she wonders why she feels a little funny a few weeks later. Gemma is single, 37 and pondering her future when she goes out one Friday night with a waitress friend. ![]() And he wants simple comfort food and loves everything Gemma prepares. She never meets him, just trades phone calls and notes about the food. ![]() Friday is a witchy woman who fires her for running over the family peacock.īut Mr. Thursdays are for a big loud Russian family but she loves cooking the Russian food. Wednesday is a suave single man who treats her like a daughter. Mondays are the picky and nasty Van Houghtens who have a long list of food restrictions. In this one, Gemma Craig is a personal chef to five very different clients. Yes, I seem to pick up these chick lit novels by the dozens lately, but there are always new ones on the library shelf and they make for easy reading at night before I doze off. ![]() 5/12/2023 0 Comments Morning glory milking![]() ![]() That doesn’t bother me if the story is good, but it’s still nice when you don’t have to autocorrect as you read. Sometimes these very specific genres suffer from amateurish writing. ![]() The first thing that stood out to me was the skillful writing. ![]() And having read some reviews and the description, I need to know how both are accurate, because it doesn’t seem likely. I need to know which cover is more fitting. The one on the right looks more like the extreme/splatter stuff I like. The one on the left looks like a romantic fantasy. I’m starting this review before I’ve even started the book because the difference between the Audible cover, which is the one I saw when I came across this book in a recommendation thread, and the one I got with the kindle download is so striking and just plain funny to me. ![]() 5/12/2023 0 Comments American prince sierra![]() ![]() ![]() He knows, as a man selfish and shattered, tragedy is what he deserves.
