And that's saying a lot considering how Kiss of Deception and The Heart of Betrayal were one of my favorite books of all time. Pearson actually turned this single novella into even just a standalone, or bless my heart, a series, I can honestly say with utmost confidence that I would've loved it more than I loved the original books of The Remnant Chronicles. ![]() WHY OH WHY isn't Morrighan a full length novel? If Mary E. But it riped my heart into little, tiny pieces and now, I'm still struggling to put those pieces back together. ![]() I hoped that this novella would temporarily satisfy my Remnant Chronicle withdrawals. I can't even put my feelings into words right now. ![]() "On its heels came a whispered name that was always just beyond my reach, not yet mine to hear, but I knew that one day my children’s children or the ones who came after would hear it. ![]()

I saw the warning signs and I had an idea of what was going to happen, but I’m still angry. ![]() I wasn’t expecting for The Other Einstein to draw out such potent feelings from me. Obviously with the novel being written from her point of view, I’m going to be biased toward her, but wow.

After throwing him over, Eustacia ensnares Clym Yeobright. And unlike Susan Henchard, all of Eustacia’s problems are chiefly of her own making.Īt the beginning of the novel, Eustacia is toying with the affections of Damon Wildeve-who is actually engaged to another woman. Unlike Sue Bridehead, Eustacia is too selfish to love someone more than herself. ![]() Unlike Tess, who works hard to eke out a living, Eustacia doesn’t want to work at all. She feels trapped on Egdon Heath she wants to live a rich life in a city. Unlike those heroines, Eustacia is not a good woman at heart. Early in the novel, she is described thus, “She had the passions and instincts which make a model goddess, that is, those which make not quite a model woman” (Part I, Chapter 7*). Eustacia is often mentioned in the same breath as Hardy’s other great tragic heroines. I was drawn to The Return of the Native because of Eustacia Vye. The second half contains the resulting tragedies. Repent at leisure.” The first half of this book is bad marriage after bad marriage. ![]() (This statement is also a cliche.) The old saw that kept popping into my head as I read The Return of the Native, by Thomas Hardy, was “Marry in haste. The most irritating thing about cliches is that they are so often true. ![]() 5/20/2023 0 Comments Stages of rot by linnea sterte![]() ![]() ![]() The effect of reading Stages of Rot is of visiting a world that is a strange mirror of our own, reflecting our lives back at us in such a manner as, through the specific differences, we see how our world is arranged in a way that is only one of the many (infinite?) ways it could have been, and how it is that what we take as given in our lives has, in actuality, been “given” to us by… the universe, nature, evolution – god? – that, ultimately, we populate a world not of our own making. This world is different in other ways, but we are meant to recognize ourselves in its contours. – populate the skies, together with those, such as birds and insects, that are “normally” airborne. The central visual ploy here is that we are presented with a world in which a splendid array of aquatic animals – whales, dolphins, jellyfish, etc. ![]() Here we have a French-flapped softcover containing page after page of lush, full (but muted) color comics, beautifully printed (in Poland) on flat, off-white paper stock, presenting comics inspired by a mix of (mostly) Moebius, Miyazaki and Ernst Haeckel that as often as not is reminiscent of biological, zoological and anthropological illustration. Stages of Rot is a unique work of anthro-bio-zoological speculative fantasy, and, furthermore, is one that could really only succeed on its own terms in comics form. ![]() ![]() Marshals Novel A Vampire's Christmas Carol A Very Bloodthirsty Christmas A Weird Girls Novel A Wicked Tale A Witch In Need A. ![]() 1001 Dark Nights 19 Souls 2014 25 days of Authors 304 Publishing 32Authors 33 Titles 5 star reviews 7 Kindoms 99 99 Cents A Campfire Nightmare A Christmas Story A Chroniker City Story A Colony A Coon Hollow Coven Tale A Curse Unbroken A Dangerous Reality A Devilish Slumber A Divided Mind A Generation of Vipers A Glimmer of Hope A Mortal Indisrection A Mother's Burden A Mother's Love Hop A Paranormal Easter A Scandal at Crystalline A Second Chance At Love A Spoonful of Magic A Touch of Midnight A U.S. ![]() 5/20/2023 0 Comments After the fall rhodes![]() He remains close to Obama, and rarely ventures the slightest criticism of his boss, mention of whom tends to be cringeworthily hagiographical.Īfter the Fall, Rhodes’s new auto-ethnographic memoir, is at once a chronicle of his post–White House travels and a deeply personal reckoning with the end of the American century. ![]() These days, Rhodes lives in Southern California, and cohosts the tellingly titled podcast Pod Save the World, part of a successful media company founded in 2017 by a trio of fellow Obama speechwriters and “strategic communications” cadres. Though he was formally a strategic communications adviser, Rhodes enjoyed a much wider political brief in practice, which included leading the administration’s negotiations with Cuba. Rhodes then spent eight years in the White House as Obama’s deputy national security advisor, a period chronicled in his 2018 memoir, The World as It Is (memorably nominated by Perry Anderson as an archetypal “spin-doctorate of the equerry”). Soon after, he became speechwriter for the vice chair of the 9/11 commission, and later found his way onto Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign. ![]() ![]() Review of After the Fall: Being American in the World We’ve Made, by Ben Rhodes (Penguin Random House, 2021).īen Rhodes graduated from New York University in 2002 with a master’s degree in creative writing, before moving to Washington, DC, “to be part of the nation’s response” to 9/11. ![]() 5/20/2023 0 Comments The call of the wild book author![]() Mabie reviews Jack London’s “Call of the Wild”įrom The Wichita Daily Eagle (Wichita, Kansas) – July 23, 1903 Here is what critics were saying back upon the book’s initial publication! Mr. Upon the book’s release in 1903, noted literary critic and essayist Hamilton Wright Mabie wrote that the new little book about of a pet stolen from a comfortable home and forced to become a sled dog in the icy North was “likely to make a deep impression by reason of its power and unusual theme.” ![]() Jack London’s first major work, “ The Call of the Wild,” changed both the face of literature and the fortunes of a young author.Ī tale of transformation - a domestic dog being forced by circumstance to revert to his wild state - London’s work immediately sold out its first print run, and plucked readers’ heartstrings around the globe. ![]() 5/19/2023 0 Comments Dead Lake by Darcy Coates![]() ![]() ![]() Dead Lake is a chilling, fast-paced read: Tolkienįrom bestselling horror author Darcy Coates comes Dead Lake, a cabin in the woods thriller that will make you double-check your locks at night.
