I’m a character reader, first and foremost. ![]() i went through turmoil alongside Mila-through her determination to find her father, her journey to Russia, her optimism and kindness in the face of adversity, and in how she loves, wide open and without restraint. it’s in the title, it’s in all the content warnings, and it’s true to it, through and through. ![]()

The only hope to stop the disease is an otter named Thrugg and his partner, young Dumble the dormouse. As the young squirrel and mole attempt to restore the symbolic weapon, a deadly fever ravages Redwall Abbey. Meanwhile, at Redwall Abbey, two stoats run off with the Sword of Martin the Warrior after accidentally killing Brother Hal with a bow and arrow left out from a carnival the night before, and young Samkim, a mischievous squirrel, and his partner Arula the molemaid set off to claim back the sword. Plot introduction įerahgo the Assassin, a terrible weasel warlord, and his son Klitch lead their army of Corpsemakers to Salamandastron, to take over from the Badger Lord, Urthstripe the Strong. ![]() It is the fifth book published and eighth chronologically in the Redwall series. Salamandastron is a fantasy novel by Brian Jacques, published in 1992. ![]() 5/12/2023 0 Comments I am number four book series order![]() ![]() The main problem is the movie is totally clichéd. There gigantic, bald, covered in tattoos with gills and sharp teeth, carry some pretty cool weapons, and have 2 gigantic beasts as pets. ![]() The last 20 minutes will most certainly entertain the majority of audiences. The final battle in the movie is something that save the movie from being a huge disappointed. Among the good points, the visuals were astounding. Lack of narratives? They never mentioned why kill them in sequence. ![]() Is it their appearance? Or is it unexplained? I've never read this book before. The story feels a bit weak and there are so many plot holes it takes away part of the enjoyment like if the nine aliens are so powerful, why can't they stop those Mogadorians? Is it because they have a huge flying squirrel like monster? Oh wait. Characters are stereotypical, things fall into place way too conveniently and one has the feeling that a good junk of the original novel has just been crammed together to (barely) fit into the running time of 90 minutes. Of course, "I Am Number Four" is by no means a great movie. ![]() 5/12/2023 0 Comments Ebonwilde![]() The fate of mankind on her shoulders, Aurelia must venture into the The dark secrets of the distant past before she can get that chance.

While Walt is hitting balls out of the park and catching the eye of the baseball coach, Noah composes anonymous love letters to Sam in an attempt to write his way into her heart. To Noah, the letters are more: an initiation to the curious rhythms of love and jazz, as well as a way for him and Walt to embrace their own kind of cool. Walt is sure these letters and the podcasts are just what Noah needs to communicate his true feelings to Sam. Inside the vintage Keepall is a gold mine of love letters from the 1960s. Noah is reluctant, but decides fate may be intervening when he discovers more than just his mom’s birthday gift at the thrift shop. To go from lovelorn to ladies’ men, Walt introduces Noah to a relationship guru-his Dairy Queen-employed cousin, Floyd-and the always informative Woohoo Woman Podcast. ![]() ![]() Noah would love to retire his bat and accept the status quo, but Walt has big plans for them both, which include making the best baseball comeback ever, getting the girl, and finally finding cool. He and his best friend Walt (aka Swing) have been cut from the high school baseball team for the third year in a row, and it looks like Noah’s love interest since third grade, Sam, will never take it past the “best friend” zone. Things usually do not go as planned for seventeen-year-old Noah. ![]() 5/11/2023 0 Comments Rivers of london books![]() ![]() A newly graduated police officer from London, he is recruited in the first book. Fans of a darn good crime novel who never knew they would enjoy a fantasy novel will absolutely love this series. Rivers of London is part urban fantasy, part police procedural, centring on detective constable Peter Grant. To read Rivers of London is to enter a world we thought we'd left behind as children, one where magical impossibility becomes possible and absurdly plausible. ![]() When one murder turns into another with the same horrific injuries inflicted upon the victims, Peter, Lesley and DI Nightingale combine forces to investigate. Peter works closely with PC Lesley May, a proper copper with an eye on the detail and a talent for fingering collars. Their home is a character in its own right and when Toby the ghost hunting dog joins the team their little, highly irregular family, is complete. Molly has beautiful long glossy hair, glides noiselessly and has interestingly sharp dentistry. The other resident of The Folly is Molly, who does for them. There he will discover that not only has he a talent for spotting spectral witnesses, but he is to become an apprentice wizard, learning spells that will get him out of many a tight spot. ![]() ![]() Peter is seconded to DI Thomas Nightingale who lives and works from The Folly, a beautiful, many roomed London home. ![]() ![]() ![]() While the text itself is sufficient to communicate the book’s identified problem and recommended solution, the questions aid both the casual reader and the serious practitioner in more fully assimilating the message. ![]() Ideal for both personal reflection as well as group study, each of the book’s nine chapters begins with some preliminary thought-provoking questions and ends with a set of reflection questions and exercises. ![]() In communicating practical and tested insights on the subject, authors Steve Corbett and Brian Fikkert divide their book into three sections, first providing foundational concepts, then adding general principles, and concluding with practical strategies to provide assistance in a truly beneficial manner. How to Alleviate Poverty Without Hurting the Poor and Yourselfīy Steve Corbett and Brian Fikkert (reviewed by Peter DeHaan)Īs implied by the subtitle, the main premise of When Helping Hurts is that efforts to help those who are less fortunate often do more harm than good-to both the receiver and the giver. ![]() ![]() ![]() Harry Bosch At his best !!! Fabulous Narrator! So it's another great novel from America's king of police procedurals. I appreciate the realism he brings to every novel. It is always a complicated, frustrating process to write about. One of the reasons I love his books is the contrasting views he provides us of the justice system from the contrasting eyes of the detectives, press, prosecution, suspects and victims. ![]() ![]() Connelly was a crime reporter for many years. Even in the face of rampant police malpractice, intimidation, ineptitude and criminal behavior, he reluctantly works for an innocent man wo is framed by the police. As independent a character as Bosch has always been, he dreads being viewed by his former peers as a sellout. He is reluctantant because active police forces regard defense attorneys as little better than the criminals they represent. In the Crossing, Bosch reluctantly agrees to review the murder book of a case his step brother, Mickey Haller of The Lincoln Lawyer fame, is currently working. The narrator has to bring out his humanity without the benefit of a huge personality and Welliver delivers brilliantly. ![]() He does not suffer fools, even when they are his family. Bosch is a serious character with little emotion or humor. Its only fitting since he plays Bosch in the new tv series. In my opinion, Titus Welliver is by far the best narrator of the 20 odd books in this series. I've read or listened to every book by Connelly. ![]() 5/11/2023 0 Comments Life Force by Patrick Keehn![]() ![]() This home is currently off market - it last sold on Jfor $55,000. 17 Keehn Ln is a 1,341 square foot house on a 1.68 acre lot with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.Send … test de lang ophtalmoġ7 Keehn Ln, Hughesville, PA 17737 Redfin Comfort the family with flowers or a sympathy gift.

It’s too big! It’s not feasible that, 1000 years after the events of Rielle’s storyline, Eliana’s begins. The massive time gap between the two storylines might be my biggest gripe with the book. ![]() Not only that, Rielle and Eliana are 1000 years apart. These two women–both nineteen, I think–find themselves entwined in a centuries-old prophecy about the Sun Queen and the Blood Queen, neither of which are explained properly in the book. ![]() Then we have Eliana, assassin and maybe-immortal. Unfortunately, it fell flat for me as many YA fantasies are these days.įuryborn’s premise hangs on the fact that there are two different protagonists in two different timelines: We have Rielle, a noblewoman with the power to control all the elements in the world, like a European fantasy version of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Furyborn was supposed to be the next big thing. Everyone on Booktube was talking about it, ARCS (advance reader copies) were being given out in subscription boxes, and the social media blitz was undeniable. When Furyborn was first announced in 2018, I saw it everywhere. Furyborn by Claire Legrand is the much-hyped first book in the Empirium Trilogy, a series of high fantasy novels set in the fictional world of Avitas. ![]() |
