![]() ![]() like after they experience it for the first time, thats all they think about. i hate how most of rina kents mfc's personality depend and revolve on sex. why does she 'say' she changes and is more confident after having sex for the first time. ![]() i loved annika in god of malice, but i didn't connect with her the way i wanted to. and do not even get me started on HOW BLAND creigh and annika were.Īnnika was not a sunshine, she was just a naive 17-year-old girl who made the color purple her whole personality. the fucking kidnapping to the island was a shit comedy show. My expectations for this book were SO HIGH, i was so fucking excited for the grumpy/sunshine trope, but it gave nothing. Why does rina kent love making people hate the royal elite parents? can she stop making the parents villains its so fucking annoying? 2 stars (yes i decreased my rating even more □) ![]() ![]() ![]() This is a book for all intelligent readers interested in the Civil War and Reconstruction, African American History, and Abolition Studies. Still, I was surprised by some of what Blight brings to light, and persuaded by many of Blights’s conclusions about Douglass’s life.ĭavid Blight is a Yale professor and this book accords with scholarly standards, but it avoids the jargon and exclusivity of some academic history. ![]() While I am hardly a Douglass devotee, I have more familiarity with his life than most readers. I have also visited some sites associated with Douglass’s life in Maryland and in New England and New York. I have read one of Douglass’s autobiographies and McFeely’s biography. It also offers an unvarnished account of the Great Man’s private life without descending into the salacious. The book covers all of the years of Douglass’s life and all aspects of his long career. The first new full biography of Douglass since William McFeely’s 1991 book, this is a massive work of prodigious research that is coupled with straightforward writing. ![]() David Blight has written a wonderful biography of Frederick Douglass that is likely to be the standard against which other work on the great human rights advocate is judged for at least a generation. ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s something I didn’t even realize I needed. “This whole process has allowed my brain to slow down a little bit. “Reds Turn Blue” and “Stranger World” slip onto an EP that feels, if anything, far more “observational” than much of his previous work. There are all these things we put aside and forget about just to keep up with the machine that is the world outside.” Being able to spend time with her and the dogs and be more present at home has been awesome. “This is the longest I’ve been home in a huge stretch since we got married.

Rivers of London is a fun mix of so many things that I love in my pleasure reads - the geekiness and the science¹, the dry British humor², and the magical/mythical/phantasmagorical stuff in a big city³. It's a horse apiece, really.įor the rest of you who realize that one of the main joys of reading (if not life itself) is learning and broadening your experience of the world… well… this book is for you. Or you could jump into a dry well and kill yourself. If you have a problem with that? Well, I guess you can go back to watching Entourage and re-reading Twilight. You might occationally have to absorb some information, learn a new word or two, and figure things out from context clues. If you don't know anything at all about London, Brittish slang, or culture other than the last three decades of American history, this book might stretch you a little bit. It's rare that someone references Tolkien, Newton, and The Last Airbender all in one book. I don't think I've ever read anything else published in the US that has as much legitimate British slang in it. ![]() They did change the title in the US from "Rivers of London" to "Midnight Riot." That was a shame.īut they left a lot of good stuff in. It hasn't been dumbed down for the American audience. It's set in London, and written by someone who obviously knows London.Ħ. ![]() ![]() ![]() She looks up, her glare in place, which just makes me smile wider. I contain my laughter, just long enough to get out, “I’d like to hear Becca say it.” Tommy answers, his voice just as loud as earlier. Her gaze drops and her shoulders lift, then she mumbles something incoherent. I wipe the tears from my eyes, caused by my laughter and look at Becca. Tommy puts one hand on his hip, the other holding the spoon in the air and as loud as he can, he yells, “I am Captain LoonySpoon!” “We are The Spoon Loving League,” she announces, and indicates to Tommy, letting me know it was his idea. “What’s with the spoons?” I laugh.īecca shakes her head at me trying to contain her own cackle. My boxer shorts on the outside of her leggings and close to ten different layers of the ugliest items she would’ve found in my closet. Tommy’s in the brightest clothes he owns, but they’re on backwards and inside out and in the wrong order-he’s wearing his underwear on the outside of his pants, but the absolute best part, is that Becca’s the same. Becca has a pile of my hats on her head and Tommy has a metal strainer on his. They’re both wearing bed sheets around their necks as capes. “You guys look ridiculous!” And it’s not a lie. ![]() “I can’t wait!”Ī moment later they charge out of his room and my head throws back with laughter. ![]() ![]() I sit on the couch and clap my hands together. “Babe!

A sister sacrifices everything to save her brother. How far will a wife go for her husband and how far will a husband go for his wife?įinally, in the novel I am working on right now, CITY OF GLASS, the focus is on sibling love.

In THE HOUSE BY THE CYPRESS TREES I explore romantic love. So, when this ring is found years later, another couple picks up the energy from their Mark and Rebecca’s love and falls in love themselves. Part of their love stayed in the ring that Mark gave to Rebecca. Two lovers, Mark and Rebecca, got separated in the early 20th century, but their love remained behind, it didn’t die. ![]() WRAPPED IN THE STARS is about love that lasts forever. ![]() ![]() ![]() The British crime mystery author Elly Griffiths was born in 1963, in London, as Domenica de Rosa. ![]() ![]() A Girl Called Justice, 2019 (children’s book).Now You See Them (Stephens & Mephisto #5), 2019.The Vanishing Box (Stephens & Mephisto #4), 2017.The Blood Card (Stephens & Mephisto #3), 2016.Smoke and Mirrors (Stephens & Mephisto #2), 2015.The Zig Zag Girl (Stephens & Mephisto #1), 2014.The Lantern Men (Ruth Galloway #12), 2020.The Stone Circle (Ruth Galloway #11), 2019.The Dark Angel (Ruth Galloway #10), 2018.The Woman in Blue (Ruth Galloway #8), 2016.The Ghost Fields (Ruth Galloway #7), 2015.The Outcast Dead (Ruth Galloway #6), 2014.Ruth’s First Christmas Tree (Ruth Galloway #4.5), 2012 (free download).A Room Full of Bones (Ruth Galloway #4), 2011.The House at Sea’s End (Ruth Galloway #3), 2011.The Janus Stone (Ruth Galloway #2), 2010.The Crossing Places (Ruth Galloway #1), 2009.The Lantern Men, (Ruth Galloway #12), 2020 ![]() |
