Champ Bradwin’s on leave for his brother Clipper’s wedding, two young scions of a wealthy military family. His second was All Heads Turn When The Hunt Goes By, still regarded today by diehard horror fans as one of the genre’s high-water marks. His first, The Fury, was a commercial success about psychic children, and is a good example of the The school of book titles. ![]() After writing a slew of crime novels in his youth-I reviewed one, Baby Moll, re-released by Hard Case Crime-Farris turned to the horror genre in the 1970s. John Farris was one of the key authors who helped reinvigorate and redefine the horror genre in the late ’70s, helping to usher in the horror renaissance of the ’80s and early ’90s. So, then, in contrast: All Heads Turn When The Hunt Goes By. ![]() ![]() ![]() I think we’ve all seen enough books with non-creative The and The titles, and while that can imply some kind of dread suspense about this specific in specific, it comes across as a rather bland way to make a title. This is especially true for horror novels. Call me fickle, but I’m a huge fan of loquacious titles and have bought several books based on title alone. ![]() 5/11/2023 0 Comments Babar and father christmas 1940![]() ![]() This book is recommended for purchase as a Christmas themed concept book in a public or school library. ![]() Interestingly, this story was the last story written by Jean De Brunhoff before his sudden death and his brother Michel directed the coloring of this book as well as His Children. There are occasional scenic illustrations incorporated into the story as well. Babar, the King of the Elephants, sets out to find Father Christmas and bring him back to visit the children of. ![]() The images mostly depict the isolated events that take place on each page through focal illustrations. The illustrations are indicative of the Babar series and stand alone from textual narrative. However, it is well suited for a one-on-one read aloud with a younger child or a story time read aloud with older students. ![]() The text is translated from the original french and requires a high reading level for independent reading. This charming edition to the Babar series tells the story through large blocks of narration and a series of colored, drawn illustrations. Babar searches far and wide to find Father Christmas so that the children in Elephant’s country can receive Christmas presents from the saint too. As the last story in the series of Babar Books, Jean De Brunhoff tells the story of Babar traveling to find Father Christmas on behalf of the children in the Elephant’s country. ![]() 5/11/2023 0 Comments Herald of shalia book 3 audiobook![]() ![]() The world and story are actually pretty interesting, but the sex is essentially non-existent and mostly happens off-page. There's zero romance, but the story and world are fun, and the sex is well written. ![]() The size of the harem in the later books got a bit large, but I still enjoyed that it was primarily a romance story between the two main characters. The story, while not complex, is interesting enough to keep you reading. This is another great series, in my opinion. ![]() After reading a few more series (mentioned below), I've determined that part of why I like this series is that even though it's a harem, it still feels like primarily a love story between the two main characters. I'm fairly new to this genre, having stumbled into it about 8 months ago. ![]() 5/11/2023 0 Comments The latin library vergil![]() ![]() ![]() “Our library is an important storehouse of the global culture of humankind,” said Cesare Pasini, prefect of the library. Its latest initiative is offering the first 200 people to donate €500 or more a limited edition reproduction of a page from the Vatican Virgil, depicting Creusa trying to keep her husband Aeneas from battle. Digita Vaticana, which is raising the funds needed for the digitisation, has estimated that the project will take more than 15 years to complete and cost more than €50m (£42m). But even with these restrictions, according to the library, “the need to consult the library’s documents puts their very survival and their future availability and accessibility at risk every day”.Ī major project to digitise all 80,000 documents will ensure that scholars have less need to consult the originals, and also make the texts available to the general public. With its delicate texts ranging from Sandro Botticelli’s 1450 illustration of The Divine Comedy, to a collection of 111 pages of manuscripts containing poems, technical notes, and preparatory sketches by Michelangelo, the library only allows access to its materials by specialised scholars. The 1,600-year-old document is one of more than 80,000 manuscripts, running to 41m pages, in the library, which was founded in 1451 by Pope Nicholas V. ![]() 5/10/2023 0 Comments Jennifer nansubuga makumbi books![]() ![]() Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi's marvelous Ugandan epic, Kintu, explodes such chauvinism."- Guernica "Reminiscent of Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart, this work will appeal to lovers of African literature."- Library Journal (Starred Review) "Passionate, original, and sharply observed, the novel decenters colonialism and makes Ugandan experience primary."- Book Riot "With crisp details and precise prose, Makumbi draws us into the dynamic and vast world of Uganda-its rich history, its people's intricate beliefs, and the collective weight of their steadfast customs."- World Literature Today Some authors set the bar high with their debut work. Over the course of six rich sections, she fires not a single gratuitous shot."- Public Books "Postcolonial literature is often thought of as a conversation between a native culture and a Western power that sought to dominate it. " Kintu is a masterpiece, an absolute gem, the great Ugandan novel you didn't know you were waiting for."-Aaron Bady, The New Inquiry " A masterpiece of cultural memory, Kintu is elegantly poised on the crossroads of tradition and modernity."- Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) "Makumbi takes a sniper's aim at the themes of virility and power across time. ![]() 5/10/2023 0 Comments Go tell a watchman![]() ![]() Go Set a Watchman tackles the racial tensions brewing in the South in the 1950s and delves into the complex relationship between father and daughter. It alludes to Jean Louise Finch's view of her father, Atticus Finch, as the moral compass ("watchman") of Maycomb, and has a theme of disillusionment, as she discovers the extent of the bigotry in her home community. ![]() The title comes from Isaiah 21:6: "For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth", which is quoted in the book's seventh chapter by Mr. Although Go Set a Watchman was initially promoted as a sequel by its publisher, it is now accepted that it was a first draft of To Kill a Mockingbird with many passages in that book being used again. Go Set a Watchman is a novel written by Harper Lee before her Pulitzer Prize-winning To Kill a Mockingbird (1960), her only other published novel. ![]() 5/10/2023 0 Comments Lover awakened hardcover![]() ![]() I think my favorite part was the epilogue, it was one of those "aww" cute moments. You are also introduced to a couple of new characters who will play larger and larger parts as the series goes on.Īgain, that little "break up for your own good" drives me nuts. We the reader get a little hint in dark lover about a character's origins and in this book the other characters also get a good hint about the character's origins. We are not told how a main character died and it's a little fustrating, and the mate leaves the house abandoning his charge. This book had it's sad moments, they were not as sad as lover eternal but they were sad. The hero and heroine get together in every book but the back ground characters continue to evolve with their story lines.

I eally like theses books, it's not often a writer keeps the story going like in a soap opera. anger is his only companion and terror his only passion until he rescues a beautiful female from the evil lessening society. renowned for his unquenchable fury and sinister deeds, he is a savage feared by humans and vampires alike. A FORMER BLOOD SLAVE THE VAMPIRE ZSADIST still bears the scars from a past filled with suffering and humiliation. ![]() 5/10/2023 0 Comments Samara's Peril by Jaye L. Knight![]() ![]() I think that about captures Samara’s Peril for me. “Are you kidding? Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, True Love, miracles….” ![]() Samara’s Peril does not disappoint!
