Certainly, lepidoptery should be a suitable hobby for a lady chasing pretty things like butterflies can hold no dangers. Mastermind of the charming Lady Grey Mysteries series, Raybourn ( Bonfire Night, 2014, etc.) introduces her latest feisty heroine, deftly twining together suspense, romance, and cracking good dialogue.

So when the wallbanging threatens to literally bounce her out of bed, Caroline, clad in sexual frustration and a pink baby-doll nightie, confronts Simon Parker, her heard-but-never-seen neighbor. And since Caroline is currently on a self-imposed "dating hiatus," and her neighbor is clearly lethally attractive to women, she finds her fantasies keep her awake even longer than the noise. Thanks to paper-thin walls and the guy's athletic prowess, she can hear not just his bed banging against the wall but the ecstatic response of what seems (as loud night after loud night goes by) like an endless parade of women.

Whenever books are meh to me it is very hard to rate it because it is definitely not 5 stars material and yet 3 stars to me means the book was whatever, boring, and leaning toward dislike. After reading Miss Nelson is Missing! I was extremely excited to get back into this classic children's story and I found it rather disappointing! I didn't hate the story but I felt meh during the entire time and the story was extremely short without much action compare to the original. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() We see them immortalized in the decorative arts in tribal folklore, literature, and ancient myth and even on the pages of the earliest medical texts, prescribed to treat everything from skin complaints to baldness to flagging libido. Over time, seahorses have surfaced in some unlikely places. A fascinating journey with the sea creature that has captured human imagination for thousands of years Poseidon's Steed trails the seahorse through secluded waters across the globe in a kaleidoscopic history that mirrors man's centuries-old fascination with the animal, sweeping from the reefs of Indonesia, through the back streets of Hong Kong, and back in time to ancient Greece and Rome. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I liked the mythology of this seriesĪ quick read but really enjoyable! The characters are believable and the boys are just WOW. ![]() The vampires in this series are powerful and mysterious. They are all like a nice little family that cooks, cleans and cares for each other even though they are quite different. They are all quite protective of her because of her young age, intelligence and frankly her geek-ness. Claire's other housemates include Shane and Michael, two mysterious boys who also care for Claire. Eve is also very nice to Claire and looks out for her whenever she can. It lets people see that though people may dress differently they are still people. I like that Eve, one of Claire's roommates, is a goth. She must navigate the supernatural forces at play in her new home and find out who she can trust. Claire is a good character, naive, but smart and brave. Vampires rule the town in secret and they won't stand for anyone breaking their rules or snooping around.Ĭlaire is disliked by her peers because she very smart meaning she advanced grades and is significantly younger while she is also from out of town. The same can be said for everyone else in Morganville. But Claire's new roommates are not what they seem. Constantly being bullied by cruel mean girls Claire attempts to escape by moving to a house off campus. Set in Morganville, Texas, Claire Danvers has just started university and is living in a horrible dormitory on campus. ![]() ![]() ![]() If the crew cannot uncover the secrets of the hidden island city before the wrath of its ancient guardians falls upon them, the fate of Roshar and the entire Cosmere hangs in the balance. With the help of Lopen, the formerly one-armed Windrunner, Rysn must accept Navani's quest and sail into the perilous storm from which no one has returned alive. Now Rysn's pet is ill, and any hope for Chiri-Chiri’s recovery can be found only at the ancestral home of the larkin: Akinah. Shipowner Rysn Ftori lost the use of her legs but gained the companionship of Chiri-Chiri, a Stormlight-ingesting winged larkin, a species once thought extinct. Knights Radiant who fly too near find their Stormlight suddenly drained, so the voyage must be by sea. When a ghost ship is discovered, its crew presumed dead after trying to reach the storm-shrouded island Akinah, Navani Kholin must send an expedition to make sure the island hasn't fallen into enemy hands. ![]() Taking place between Oathbringer and Rhythm of War, this tale (like Edgedancer before it) gives often-overshadowed characters their own chance to shine. ![]() ![]() From Brandon Sanderson―author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive and its fourth massive installment, Rhythm of War ―comes a new hefty novella, Dawnshard. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() At the one on Republic Square he is delighted by the following message on the wall: CHERISH CASUAL KINDNESS AND BEAUTIFUL BUT MEANINGLESS ACTS. The critics are thrilled, but the novel turns out to be hoax. That book was about the past, and this one is about the present day.Ĭzarne Publishing House, Wołowiec 2011Szczygieł watches Czech television and reads popular books, such as a novel by a young Vietnamese woman about Czech racism. It was during this period that he wrote Gottland, a historical reportage-mosaic portrait of the Czechs and Czechoslovakia in the twentieth century. This book testifies to the author’s ten-year obsession with Czech culture. Rather than classic reportage of the kind Szczygieł has produced before now, this is more like a cross between sociology and reportage. Once again he takes us to the Czech Republic, but this time he also crosses the boundaries of reportage. Mariusz Szczygieł’s new book crosses some borders. ![]() |
