Medoran chronicles series6/7/2023 So now i’m only a couple chapters away from the ending and i figure i would make a post about what’s currently happening, ( but vaguely so you guys still have a chance to read it) so yeah here i am. I would read for hours on end and when i realised that i only had one book left reality hit me, and it hit me hard, i was on the verge of crying, no joke. Okay so, i started reading the medoran chronicles about a month ago and i have fallen in LOVE with this series like no joke, the author ( Lynette Noni ) is an amazing writer, at first i didn’t know what was going on in the series ( okay i kinda did ) and before i knew it 2 weeks later i finished the second last book in 3 days, 3 DAYS YOU GUYS.

Sally berneathy6/7/2023 Add King Henry, the stray cat who adopted Lindsay and knows more than a feline should, and Lindsay's boyfriend - a cop who refuses to cancel her speeding tickets - and it's no wonder I've just fallen in love with Berneathy's Death by Chocolate series. Sally Berneathy has created a very likeable amateur detective character with Lindsay, and great sidekick in Fred-the-neighbor with his old car, sober manner, and hacker's knack for digging out secrets online. Sophie had a nightmare that Lindsay and Fred soon realize must be more than fantasy. But when the two of them manage to get Sophie Fleming out of the closet, they discover it's more than a little sleepwalking. Fred can't get her out of his bedroom closet, and he needs Lindsay's help. The woman who just moved in across the street a few hours ago has sleepwalked straight into Fred's house, wearing only a thin nightgown. Divorced chocolatier Lindsay is awoken at 2 am by an urgent phone call from a neighbor Fred. Chocolate Mousse Attack is my first Sally Berneathy chocolate mystery, and I'm hooked. King edward viii philip ziegler6/6/2023 His early life is a rake's progress of romantic liaisons, drunken escapades and academic failures, interrupted by uneventful military service and occasional diplomatic tours. Ziegler's book, perhaps the most thorough and "definitive" work on this ill-starred ruler, tries to be generous to Edward but finds little to be generous about. The King who was once, and in some circles still is, romanticized for abdicating his throne "for the woman I love" has undergone a drubbing in recent decades, as his personal foibles and fascist sympathies have inspired heavy scrutiny. For an "authorized" biography, Philip Ziegler's King Edward VIII paints a remarkably unflattering portrait. Shades of Twilight by Linda Howard6/6/2023 The only person in Roanna's corner is the handsome Webb, her second cousin who is seven years older than she is. For some reason, the other family members tolerate - or even encourage - this emotional abuse. Heaping on abuse, making nasty comments, showing petty slights Jessie isn't above anything to put Roanna down. Jessie is beautiful, cold, and cruel - and even though she always gets whatever she wants, she hates Roanna for some reason and isn't afraid to show it every chance she gets. When her parents and aunt die in a tragic accident, both she and her cousin Jessie are left orphans, and forced to live at the intimidating Davencourt mansion with the stern family matriarch, Lucinda, for whom honor is everything. SHADES OF TWILIGHT features Roanna Davenport, one of the heirs to a wealthy Alabama family. I picked SHADES OF TWILIGHT to satisfy the "romance involving a murder" category, and boy, did it satisfy on that end. We're shining the light on the darker side of romance and seeing what horrible, creepy things come a-crawling out. I love challenges, and that's why the mods and I at Unapologetic Romance Readers came up with the Halloween 2016 Reading Challenge. The tragedy paper by elizabeth laban6/6/2023 I was affected by this story, but in a mixed way. The Tragedy Paper is not my usual type of read but something about the synopsis drew me in. Jumping between viewpoints of the love-struck Tim and Duncan, a current senior about to uncover the truth of Tim and Vanessa, The Tragedy Paper is a compelling tale of forbidden love and the lengths people will go to keep their secrets. Tim and Vanessa begin a clandestine romance, but looming over them is the Tragedy Paper, Irving’s version of a senior year thesis, assigned by the school’s least forgiving teacher. To Tim's surprise, Vanessa is into him, too, but she can kiss her social status goodbye if anyone ever finds out. Yet, despite his efforts to blend into the background, he finds himself falling for the quintessential “It” girl, Vanessa Sheller, girlfriend of Irving’s most popular boy. It follows the story of Tim Macbeth, a seventeen-year-old albino and a recent transfer to the prestigious Irving School, where the motto is “Enter here to be and find a friend.” A friend is the last thing Tim expects or wants-he just hopes to get through his senior year unnoticed. Perfect for fans of Thirteen Reasons Why and Looking for Alaska, Jennifer Weiner, #1 New York Times bestselling author, calls Elizabeth LaBan’s The Tragedy Paper“a beguiling and beautifully written tale of first love and heartbreak.” Yakult swallows poetry collection6/5/2023 They barely knew one another, and the woman told the narrator she might call out another man's name during sex. In “On a Stone Pillow,” an unnamed narrator recalls spending the night with a woman he worked with when he was a sophomore in college. This conversation comforted the narrator and resonated with him for many years. The narrator told him it was difficult to imagine such a thing, and the man replied that “There's nothing worth getting in this world that you can get easily” (20). Soon after, he was joined by an old man, who asked him to imagine a “circle with many centers” but “no circumference” (18). Feeling confused and anxious, he walked to a park and sat on a bench. However, when he arrived, the hall and neighborhood where it was being held were completely empty. Feeling lonely and despondent after failing his university entrance exam, he decided to attend the recital. He received an invitation to a piano recital from a girl with whom he once took lessons. In “Cream,” an unnamed narrator recalls a strange event that occurred when he was 18 years old. Knopf, 2021.įirst Person Singular is a collection of eight short stories by Japanese author Haruki Murakami. The following version of this book was used to create this study guide: Murakami, Haruki. THE SEAFRONT TEAROOM is a cozy, comfy, sweet read. But if they are your thing it will be an added bonus. I enjoyed it, but not being into cooking cakes and such, I ignored the recipes at the end of the book. How cute is the cover? It really sets the tone of what to expect from this book- a couple of hours of escapist reading. Just the sort of thing if you want a comfort, feel good read with an interesting setting and likable characters and who doesn’t want those at times? This is my second read by this author and I enjoyed it a little more than I did The Vintage Teacup Club, as I liked these characters better. This is not an angst riddled, thought provoking, read but for a bit of light reading it fulfils its purpose well. There’s also a bit of romance as you would expect. I liked the friendship that developed between journalist Charlotte, who was after Britain’s best tea room, Kathryn, a single mother who ends up helping Charlotte research, and Seraphine, a French au pair with a passion for pastry making. An enjoyable read, even for those of us who are not into high teas, gooey cakes and pastries and all that goes with them. |
