Brief Summary of Book: The Rational Male – Preventive Medicine by Rollo Tomassi ![]() ![]() Toby is a man who wants a life, not to become part of a king's seraglio. Much is familiar, and that makes the unusual parts stand out even more. ![]() ![]() There is just enough of an "alien' feel to it to make the society and ways of dealing with life interesting without overwhelming even a 'beginning' sci-fi/fantasy reader. Without that, it would have been far less enjoyable to me. The romance between the two main characters is neither ordinary, nor is it easy, but that is what added the slight edginess to the story. Set in an undefined alternate world where kings rule the day, and the powerful ones have seraglios, this sweet romance has a few edges, and a male pregnancy as a bonus. As Tobey becomes Adam's favourite concubine, jealous rivals threaten to tear asunder the love that they have created together. Against Tobey's will, his body and also heart fell prey to the man everyone called High King and the man he simply called Adam. That choice was taken away from him when the High King of Naverya, Adam Radcliffe, met Tobey and wanted him for his own.

Some occasional scenes depicting appalling male tendencies and customs, to be sure, but these romance authors sure have a magic touch in making some of them hero-worthy. □ LOL! Each and every one of them has captured my attention and I’ve found myself completely absorbed and dreaming of a different time. Books about Highlanders, some from the Victorian era, and then some, errrr… okay. As I think back to them, I’ve loved them all. It’s not that I haven’t enjoyed those that I’ve already read. In fact, I tend to bypass them, and in all honestly, I don’t even know WHY I usually choose to skip them for something contemporary. I don’t have much experience with historical romance novels.

Inspired by the Greek myth of Hades and Persephone, the main character Pierce Oliviera knows what it’s like to die. The first novel in Meg Cabot’s trilogy, Abandon. It hooks you and doesn’t let you leave until it is two in the morning and your eyes are getting heavy, but damnit, you just have to read one more page. The entire series spans over a very short period but will seem to be drawn out.

The only thing that really saves this movie is (that is if you manage to keep up till the end) is the twist in the end. ![]() In fact everything about this movie is average.

She makes an unsuccessful attempt that lands her in a welfare correctional centre where she is told that she has a few days to live due to damage done to her heart by the overdose of pills. It is about a woman who has everything that one asks for, for a comfortable life, but still wants to end her life. It is a very slow movie and sometimes unbearably so. Well if you are looking for some fast paced movie then this shouldn’t be on your watch list. Now I haven’t read the book so instead of the comparison, I will focus only on the movie. This movie is based on the novel by the same name by Paulo Coelho. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Nevertheless, he takes all this in stride, and still manages to get home every day at six to read his son a bedtime story.

I guess a part of me thought to be a writer you had to have ‘talent’, and I didn’t have any reason to imagine I had ‘talent’. What advice would you give campers who are interested in writing as a career? I always liked writing, but I’d never imagined I’d be a writer. I’m charmed to hear it has remained so unchanged. I have such fond memories of Camp Sea Gull. It’s a great tradition, it was great fun. I remember Wyatt in his golf cart, and whenever you saw him you would say ‘Ahoy there, Wyatt!’ and he would throw fireballs and sugar dadies. I feel like I learned a lot while I was there. There was always something you could learn or do beyond what you had already done. What lessons, values of memories from Camp do you carry with you? There was always a challenge. ![]() I spent four summers starting in Cabin 3 and ending in Cabin 30-something. I was the youngest and followed at age 8.
