![]() ![]() Until they turned on me and said I had to write them. They were always there, my trustiest of companions. Books didn’t care if I was new to a town or to a class. Books were my best friends when I was growing up. This is the third in a series and the story will continue through future books. ![]() ![]() *Please note this is a reverse harem and the author suggests you always read the forward in her books. The real key here isn’t what do I want… it’s am I willing to fight for it? I thought losing them was the worst thing, but losing even one… it might be the change we can’t survive. My best friend demanded I keep no more secrets.īut what brought us together seems to be tearing us apart and I can’t jeopardize those friendships. My dance partner wants to walk away to preserve our friendship. My secret admirer might turn out to be a real friend. My mother and I are racing toward a collision. I asked if it could get any worse, and I guess I got my answer. Dating my best friends came with perks like hugs, kisses, and invitations to dances, but it also came with cons in the form of vindictive posts, hate mail, and vandalism of my car. Both my focus and my grades started wobbling. When the year started, I had one goal-make my AP classes count and keep my grades up. ![]() ![]() I enjoy reading novels written in the first person. I got sucked into the novel and effortlessly carried along. I thought her voice was very strong and intimate. The Somnambulist is narrated mostly in the first person from Phoebe’s point of view. Fox’s second novel is also at the library. ![]() I got the impression it was a Victorian ghost story. I picked it up at the library because the blurb implied it was supernatural fiction. She awakes to hear sobbing in the night and it soon becomes clear that she has not been chosen to work there by chance. Leaving the hustle of London’s East End, Phoebe finds herself unnerved by her new surroundings. Mr Samuels offers her the job of companion to his reclusive wife at Dinwood Court – a grand country house that may well be haunted and which holds dark secrets. When she spots an enigmatic stranger in the audience at Wilson’s Music Hall, seventeen-year-old Phoebe Turner doesn’t realise her life is about to change. ![]() ![]() A witty and weird adventure equal parts Sherlock and Three Stooges.”- Kirkus Reviews, starred review With one case closed but two unsolved, the well-matched, well-written duo will undoubtedly return to fight a more fearsome foe. Ritter's blends-fantasy and mystery, action and tension, oddball detective and able sidekick-employ but exceed their stock elements. ![]() As bones go missing-and then small livestock-methodical investigation and scientific experimentation yield to madcap chases, slapstick humor, and romance. “Recommend this to readers who enjoy Doctor Who, Supernatural, Grimm, Dresden Files, Harry Potter, and, of course, Sherlock Holmes stories, and who are ready to stay up into the wee hours reading.”- VOYA, starred review The best news? There is more to come, as Ritter sets up Jackaby and Rook’s next case regarding the ephemeral Jenny, murdered many years ago.”- School Library Journal, starred review On a scale of ‘one to pomegranate,’ this volume is undoubtedly a pomegranate it offers humor, adventure, mystery, gore, and romance all rolled into one well-written package. ![]() ![]() ![]() “In this sequel to Jackaby (Algonquin, 2014), Ritter seamlessly presents enough backstory for newcomers to thoroughly enjoy this hybrid of historical fiction and fantasy. ![]() ![]() ![]() Meanwhile, Hazel and the crew of the Argo II have a choice: to stop a war or save their friends. And, if by some miracle they do make it to the Doors of Death, there's a legion of bloodthirsty monsters waiting for them. Wandering the deadly realm of Tartarus, every step leads them further into danger. If Percy Jackson and Annabeth fail in their quest, there'll be hell on Earth. ![]() How can a handful of young demigods hope to persevere against Gaea's army of powerful giants? As dangerous as it is to head to Athens, they have no other option. The gods, still suffering from multiple personality disorder, are useless. The Athena Parthenos will go west the Argo II will go east. ![]() Though it is tempting to take the Athena Parthenos to Athens to use as a secret weapon, the friends know that the huge statue belongs back on Long Island, where it might be able to stop a war between the two camps. The Roman legion from Camp Jupiter, led by Octavian, is almost within striking distance. The demigods are having more frequent visions of a terrible battle at Camp Half-Blood. She needs their blood -the blood of Olympus - in order to wake. They must be stopped before the Feast of Spes, when Gaea plans to have two demigods sacrificed in Athens. ![]() ![]() ![]() Low-effort book requests will be removed.

![]() ![]() After reading “Fear,” I assumed that “Rage” would be more focused on the latter half of President Trump’s term. ![]() Having read all three books mentioned above, I can undoubtedly say “Rage” was the most interesting. Since his first book on said scandal titled “All the President’s Men,” Woodward has written 20 novels, his latest two pertaining to President Donald Trump, titled “Fear” and “Rage.” Woodward, a journalist who has written about multiple presidents during his career, is best known for uncovering the Watergate scandal of the Richard Nixon administration. ![]() Bob Woodward’s new book “Rage” taught me more about President Donald Trump’s administration than I ever needed, or really wanted to know. ![]() ![]() ![]() She started by asking “Why didn’t anyone tell me this wasn’t about me feeling good?” Culturally, we have largely bought into the linear life happiness expectations of completing college, getting married, and having children. Shefali Tsabary spoke to a group of Chicagoland parents and professionals on the topic of conscious parenting and challenged us all to think differently about the way we parent our children. How about the comparison game? Comparing to how your parents raised you, what the latest parenting book says (the one that is utterly contradictory to that last one you read), or what fills your Facebook feed?Īll these factors make parenting even more exhausting than it already is! Why do we do these things to ourselves? Because we feel we have to?ĭr. Ever feel like you’re following a script as a parent? Checking off boxes on a checklist that has been prescribed by others around you? ![]() ![]() Wittig manages to blur the line between two camps –that of the dialectical revolution and that of the deconstructive revolution – and thus serves to parody both. ![]() In fact, both a dialectical and deconstructive readings of Les guérillères are possible, and coexist in tension. But the circles marking the beginning of each section, as well as Wittig’s statement about how the text “should” be read – that is, with the chronological end of the narrative at the locational beginning of the book – makes it hard to find a beginning or an end at all, calling to mind the “always already” of deconstruction. ![]() Les guérillères’s three-part, dialectical structure, as well as its status as radical feminist science fiction, at first suggests a utopian vision of a future synthesis born of a revolutionary women’s struggle, and indeed it has been read that way (Chisolm, Nelson-McDermott, etc). Taking as my object the Monique Wittig’s 1969 novel Les guérillères, I mean to explore the difficulties of ambiguously “utopian” science fiction, especially with regard to the intersection and tensions between French “postmodern” and “feminist” political strategies in the early seventies. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Host then asks the Pardoner to "telle us som myrthe or japes right anon". ![]() Myn herte is lost for pitee of this mayde. Or elles a draughte of moyste and corny ale, The invitation for the Pardoner to tell a tale comes after the Host declares his dissatisfaction with the depressing tale, and declares: The Physician's Tale is a harrowing tale about a judge who plots with a "churl " to abduct a beautiful young woman rather than allow her to be raped, her father beheads her. In the order of The Canterbury Tales, the Pardoner's Prologue and Tale are preceded by The Physician's Tale. The tale and prologue are primarily concerned with what the Pardoner says is his "theme": Radix malorum est cupiditas ("Greed is the root of evils"). When they arrive they discover a hoard of treasure and decide to stay with it until nightfall and carry it away under the cover of night. Setting out to kill Death, three young men encounter an Old Man who says they will find him under a nearby tree. The Pardoner initiates his Prologue-briefly accounting his methods of swindling people-and then proceeds to tell a moral tale. ![]() In the order of the Tales, it comes after The Physician's Tale and before The Shipman's Tale it is prompted by the Host's desire to hear something positive after the physician's depressing tale. "The Pardoner's Tale" is one of The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer. The Pardoner, as depicted by William Blake in The Canterbury Pilgrims (1810) ![]() |
