I just knew this was going to be a very heartbreaking journey and I was ready for the challenge.įlame and Maddie both have had the most horrific childhoods. Tillie kept our interests piqued throughout the first two books where Flame and Maddie were concerned. So when we get to their book, we already have a vested interest in the characters. I LOVE the Hades Hangmen series!! I mean FREAKING LOVE it!!! Since book one I have been intrigued by the dynamics between Flame and Maddie! What I love about this series is that even though each book is about a different couple, all of these characters are very much a part of the story throughout the series. “I used to wonder how two people – one broken girl, and one broken boy – could ever move on from their dark and tortured pasts.

5/12/2023 0 Comments Graham greene brightonIt was the West Pier with its magnificent Victorian dance hall, severed from the beach by violent storms and left to rot as a tantalizing and expensive perch for gulls who could alight the moment the whole thing collapsed into the sea - or burst into flames, as it would in 2003. It was fights on the beach between the Mods and the Rockers, though the bottles and knives and motorbikes had all but disappeared a quarter-century before. Brighton for me was The Who singing Quadrophenia, most of which I’d heard them perform live in London that year. I was teaching in England the year after graduation and, while seeking escape from my classroom ineptitude and those nagging existential matters that come with being 22, the seaside resort became for me what it had been for generations of middle-income and working-class Britons: a day-trip haven from daily cares a cheap dalliance with sunshine, ocean breezes, romantic possibility and the limits of one’s own imagination. 5/12/2023 0 Comments No offense by meg cabotJohn would be pretty irritated if one of his deputies had a desk as disorderly as Molly's. Not the best of starts, but the man's arrogance is almost as distracting as his blue eyes. When John Hartwell folds all six-feet-three of himself into a tiny chair and insists that whoever left the baby is a criminal, Molly begs to differ and asks what he's doing about the Island's real crime wave (if thefts of items from homes that have been left unlocked could be called that). So does the sheriff who comes to investigate the "abandonment". But fate-in the form of a newborn left in the restroom-has other ideas. Now, as Little Bridge Island Public Library's head of children's services, Molly hopes the messiest thing in her life will be her sticky-note covered desk. Welcome to Little Bridge, one of the smallest, most beautiful islands in the Florida Keys, home to sandy white beaches, salt-rimmed margaritas, and stunning sunsets-a place where nothing goes under the radar and love has a way of sneaking up when least expected.Ī broken engagement only gave Molly Montgomery additional incentive to follow her dream job from the Colorado Rockies to the Florida Keys. New York Times-bestselling author Meg Cabot's returns with a charming romance between a children's librarian and the town sheriff in the second book in the Little Bridge Island series. 5/12/2023 0 Comments Moomin the fir treeTo start a return, you can contact us at If your return is accepted, we’ll send you a return shipping label, as well as instructions on how and where to send your package.

They’ve been living amongst Earth’s mortals since The Beginning and, truth be told, have grown rather fond of the lifestyle and, in all honesty, are not actually looking forward to the coming Apocalypse. It’s a predicament that Aziraphale, a somewhat fussy angel, and Crowley, a fast-living demon now finds themselves in. Or you could just try to do something about it. You could spend the time left drowning your sorrows, giving away all your possessions in preparation for the rapture, or laughing it off as (hopefully) just another hoax. If Richard is ever to return to his former life and home, he must join Lady Door’s quest to save her worldand may well die trying. But what if, for once, the predictions are right, and the apocalypse really is due to arrive next Saturday, just after tea? Here in Neverwhere, Door is a powerful noblewoman who has vowed to find the evil agent of her family’s slaughter and thwart the destruction of this strange underworld kingdom. Now people have been predicting the end of the world almost from its very beginning, so it’s only natural to be sceptical when a new date is set for Judgement Day. According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch, Judgement Day is almost upon us and the world’s going to end in a week … 5/10/2023 0 Comments Count your lucky stars a novelWhen a series of unfortunate events leaves Olivia without a place to stay, Margot offers up her spare room because she's a Very Good Person. Never in a million years did she expect her important new client's Best Woman would be the one that got away. However, a wedding planner job in Seattle means a fresh start and a chance to follow her dreams. In the decade since she last saw Margot, her life hasn't gone exactly as planned. It's been ten years, but the moment they lock eyes, Margot's cold, dead heart thumps in her chest. While touring a wedding venue with her engaged friends, Margot comes face-to-face with Olivia Grant-her childhood friend, her first love, her first. And then fate (the heartless bitch) intervenes. But now her entire crew has found "the one" and she's beginning to feel like a fifth wheel. She tried and it blew up in her face, so she'll stick with casual hookups, thank you very much. Bellefleur writes as if she's captured fairy lights in a mason jar, twinkly and lovely within something solid yet fragile." - Entertainment Weeklyįollowing Written in the Stars and Hang the Moon, Lambda Literary Award winner and national bestselling author Alexandria Bellefleur pens another steamy queer rom-com about former best friends who might be each other's second chance at love. There's a sparkling quality here, one that mirrors the starry title. "Bellefleur has a droll, distinct voice, and her one-liners zing off the page, striking both the heart and funny bone. 5/10/2023 0 Comments Breasts by Florence WilliamsThese chemicals are the gift that keeps on giving: "When we nurse our babies, we feed them not only the fats and sugars that fire their immune systems, cellular metabolisms, and cerebral synapses." It stores in its tissues "known culprits such as BPA, DDT, and a common weedkiller called atrazine." And so many more work their way into the tissues, from all sorts of unexpected sources: fake leather, the insides of tin cans, sunglasses, plastic wraps, rubber gloves, soaps, deodorants, toys, shower curtains, soap, sun screen, vinyl, car seats, and especially new furniture. Īnd why does this horror story - so familiar to many of us - appear in a book on breasts? Because the mammary gland "is the most sensitive organ" when it comes to being blindsided by chemicals. Forty-two billion pounds are made here or imported each day, for use in products and materials. Of the 650 top-volume chemicals in use, four billion pounds get released into the American air and water each year. "Only a few hundred have ever been tested for health effects, and only five have been banned." In the United States, 700 new chemicals come on the market each year, in addition to the 82,000 already being produced. They can turn both babies and grown men into lunkheads.

In the summer, we usually took a trip, all of us piled in a car and heading out to Wisconsin or Michigan or, once, to Idaho. (In that book, the brothers even have the same names as my own brothers.) Our house was not only full of us Creeches, but also full of friends and visiting relatives.

They are good at pomp, and the BBC at hyping the solemnity and awe, but it will be difficult to maintain a straight face at the contrived tradition designed to prop up a wilting, archaic institution and to promote London as a tourism destination. There’s affection and humour mixed with the irony in Brendan Behan’s song The Captains and the Kings, which will also be reflected in the perspectives of many in Ireland watching the theatre of Charles III’s coronation. “By the moon that shines above us in the misty morning night/ Let us cease to run ourselves down and praise God that we are white/ And better still are English, tea and toast and muffin rings/ And old ladies with stern faces and the captains and the kings.”Īnd coronations. |
