6/26/2023 0 Comments Phantoms by Dean KoontzOh!!! This is a horror novel!!! Hahaha, honestly, this is a true story. I started to read the book and honestly I didn't realized that it was a novel until I got to the third chapter! :P In my defense (hehe) each chapter has titles, so I still was thinking that they were horror short stories, but quite odd since they didn't have some climax or good ending (hahaha!) when I started to read the third chapter and I met again the same characters of the first "short story" (hahaha) it was when I realize. I read the title "Phantoms" (well in reality it was "Fantasmas" since I bought in Spanish first the book) and I thought that it was an anthology of ghost stories and that Dean Koontz (I didn't know the author at that moment) was the editor or something of the book. Honestly!īack then (1992), I was in a local bookstore. If you read it, you'll understant what I mean.įirst, I didn't know that it was a novel, a long horror story book, when I bought it. And maybe this will be the most humorous review of a truly scary horror novel. It's amusing how I ended reading this novel.

My love was taken away, and I will never get that back. I exist, and I play my guitar to try and ease the pain. My life and all my dreams had died with her in the accident. There are no words that can describe how I’ve felt the past year. About a year ago, I lost the love of my life, my fiancé, in a tragic car accident. After finding my fiancé and my sister together, I moved from Seattle to Santa Monica to start a new life of independence and to focus on my passion for photography, man-free. Cheating was all I grew up with, and I vowed never to live the life my mother did. He would even stoop as low as to take me and my sister with him on his trysts when we were younger. I grew up with a father who was a womanizer and cheated on my mother every moment he had the chance. That was until I found my fiancé having sex with my sister in the church moments before I was supposed to walk down the aisle. My name is Lily Gilmore, and I was supposed to be getting married today. 6/25/2023 0 Comments Dry by augusten burroughsA very successful advertising copywriter for over seventeen years, he was also an alcoholic who nearly drank himself to death in 1999. What follows is a memoir that's as moving as it is funny, as heartbreaking as it is real.Īugusten Burroughs born Christopher Robison, son of poet and writer Margaret Robison and younger brother of John Elder Robison.īurroughs has no formal education beyond elementary school. Because when his thirty days are up, he has to return to his same drunken Manhattan life and live it sober. But when Augusten is forced to examine himself, something actually starts to click, and that's when he finds himself in the worst trouble of all. At the request (well, it wasn't really a request) of his employers, Augusten landed in rehab, where his dreams of group therapy with Robert Downey, Jr., are immediately dashed by the grim reality of fluorescent lighting and paper hospital slippers. Loud, distracting ties, automated wake-up calls, and cologne on the tongue could only hide so much for so long. But when the ordinary person had two drinks, Augusten was circling the drain by having twelve when the ordinary person went home at midnight, Augusten never went home at all. You've seen him on the street, in bars, on the subway, at restaurants: a twenty-something guy, nice suit, works in advertising. You may not know it, but you've met Augusten Burroughs. 6/25/2023 0 Comments Hagseed online(No offence, Will.)" - Viv Groskop Observer "A triumph. There is so much exuberance and heart and wonder in this novel that the only thing I want to happen next is for Atwood to rewrite the whole of Shakespeare. The novel builds to a fantastic climax of dark calamity. "Riotous, insanely readable and just the best fun. It's magic! But will it remake Felix as his enemies fall? Margaret Atwood's novel take on Shakespeare's play of enchantment, revenge and second chances leads us on an interactive, illusion-ridden journey filled with new surprises and wonders of its own. Here, Felix and his inmate actors will put on his Tempest and snare the traitors who destroyed him. After twelve years, revenge finally arrives in the shape of a theatre course at a nearby prison. Instead, after an act of unforeseen treachery, Felix is living in exile in a backwoods hovel, haunted by memories of his beloved lost daughter, Miranda. Now he's staging a Tempestlike no other- not only will it boost his reputation, it will heal emotional wounds. His productions have amazed and confounded. Definitely revenge.' Felix is at the top of his game as Artistic Director of the Makeshiweg Theatre Festival. ** Longlisted for the Bailey's Women's Prize for Fiction ** Selected as a Book of the Year - Observer, Sunday Times, Times, Guardian, i magazine 'It's got a thunderstorm in it. 6/25/2023 0 Comments The world of throne of glassAdd a week or two traveling back to Wendlyn to get on a ship at the end of HOF, plus the two weeks sailing to Adarlan. So about a month since COM ended.īUT Beltane canonically takes place WEEKS after Celaena arrived at Mistward.Īelin canonically spends about 2-3 months in Mistward. It’s two weeks by boat to Wendlyn, then about 2 weeks traveling to Varese and hanging out on rooftops. HOF should start on or about Beltane (Traditionally celebrated around May Day) The events of COM take place during a bit more than a month, based on the timeline to kill Archer plus a few days after. It also says “she had been champion for two months now” somewhere in the first few chapters. Celaena was traveling for a month in the Assassin & the Captain short and again for a month when she returns at the start. I’ve made a few assumptions, like years having 12 months and holidays taking place on their traditional, in real life dates.ĬOM should end at nearly the end of March.ĬOM is about two months after the end of TOG. I was wondering if anyone else has tried to consolidate the two books, or if there’s anything Sarah has said that could make this line up? But I’ve realized, and now am incredible annoyed by, the fact that the events of COM and HOF almost certainly overlap, and the events of HOF and QOS. Eventually was going to make it an article on the wiki, too. I’ve been re-reading the books and trying to make a timeline/calendar of the entire thing.

Yet at the end of To All the Boys 3, this beloved couple commits to being 3,000 miles apart so that each can attend their dream school instead of compromising for the other. The Netflix adaptation sets up Peter at Stanford University in California, which is already far from their hometown of Portland, Oregon-and Lara Jean is positioned across the country at New York University (NYU). With high school graduation approaching, Lara Jean Song-Covey (Lana Condor) and Peter Kavinsky (Noah Centineo) must decide whether their relationship, which began with a fake dating contract but developed into something real, can survive long distance at separate colleges.Īnd it’s not just the distance between Peter’s dream school of University of Virginia (UVA) and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) after the latter school captures Lara Jean’s heart, as in Han’s 2017 novel Always and Forever, Lara Jean. This Valentine’s Day, Netflix concludes its To All the Boys YA romance movie trilogy, based on Jenny Han’s hit book series, with To All the Boys: Always and Forever. This piece contains spoilers for Netflix’s To All the Boys: Always and Forever. Their only child, Mona Rae Miracle, was born shortly thereafter.ĭuring her pregnancy, Miracle received a letter from her mother Gladys, confirming that she was alive, revealing that she had been hospitalized for several years, and informing Miracle of her half-sister, Norma Jean. Two years later, Berniece attended Pineville High School and married Paris Miracle on October 7, 1938. In 1933, Robert Kermit died from kidney failure at the age of 14. Following Gladys' divorce, Jasper kidnapped the children and raised them in his native Kentucky, disconnected from their mother, who gave birth to her third and final child in 1926, Norma Jean Baker. Her parents, Gladys Pearl Baker (née Monroe, 1902–1984) and Jasper Newton "Jap" Baker (1886–1951), were married in 1917 and had their first child in 1918, older brother Robert Kermit "Jackie" Baker. Berniece Inez Gladys Baker was born in Venice, California in July 1919. 6/24/2023 0 Comments Whose body lord peter wimseyThe actual mystery is brilliant: a man goes into his bathroom one morning to find a naked corpse in the tub, wearing nothing but a pair of golden pince-nez. (Curiously, this is only the first of no fewer than three completely random and incidental mentions in this volume of that particular cheese. There is so much that I love about this book, including the very first page its first two words, and indeed the first two words Wimsey ever utters to us, are "Oh, damn!" Just a few lines down is the sentence that encapsulates so much about Sayers's writing, the perfect litmus test for the Lord Peter series: "His long, amiable face looked as if it had generated spontaneously from his top hat, as white maggots breed from Gorgonzola." Either you find that quirkily poetic and want to read more, or you should be reading something else entirely. In rereading this, I found myself surprised at how solid the characters are at the very beginning of the series they are essentially the same fully-realized people they are ten books later, though we only see certain facets of them here. Actually, make that at least two (since Bunter is equally astounding), and maybe three (because the Dowager's quite engaging, too). The very first Lord Peter Wimsey novel, and thus the genesis of one of the most engaging characters I've ever encountered, literary or otherwise. |
