Bianca is accustomed to dealing with supermodels and movie stars in her job as a first class flight attendant, but James Cavendish puts them all to shame in the looks department. They hold a challenge, and a promise, that she finds impossible to resist, and she is a girl who is used to saying no and meaning it. The normally unruffled Bianca can't seem to look away from his electrifying turquoise gaze. For a girl who can easily juggle a tray of champagne flutes at 35,000 feet in three inch heels, she finds herself shockingly weak-kneed from their first encounter. When reserved flight attendant Bianca gets one look at billionaire hotel owner James Cavendish, she loses all of her hard-won composure. Read Or Download In Flight (Up in the Air, #1) By R.K.

At least I didn’t wear my red and white cheer outfit. My hands clench the dirt and damp leaves underneath me. Images dance in my head-me at the fire, laughing, dancing, drinking- I inhale a sharp breath as another memory pierces, and I kick it down. How did I get here? Twisting my head, I see the embers of a low bonfire glowing several yards away in a mostly open meadow. This isn’t an enchanted forest, but it’s definitely the woods. Watching the slow, creepy movement reminds me of a horrid Grimm fairytale where a young girl ventures out into the enchanted forest to pick flowers, only to be gobbled up by a monster. The moon is full and bright, illuminating the high pine trees towering over me, their branches rustling as the wind blows, like ghostly hands rubbing their fingers together.ĭear Ava PDF Book by Ilsa Madden-Mills Name of Book I’m in tall grass, that I do know, and I breathe slowly, orienting myself as I stare up at the starry sky and look for answers.

BeckettBeckett and published by Scarecrow Press. "About this title" may belong to another edition of this title. Beyond Babar: The European Tradition in Children's Literature is written by Sandra L. "Beckett's book makes a compelling case for the end of separate categories of literature for children and adults and an "all-ages" approach to writing and publishing fiction."-Susan Stand, Central Michigan University As a resource for titles, authors, and publishers, the book seems invaluable." - The Lion and the Unicorn 33 (2009) Beckett devotes significant portions of her book to authors and titles from a global perspective, including authors (both well known and lesser known) from Italy, Germany, Spain, France, Canada, Japan, Brazil, Norway, Ireland, Scotland, India, South Africa, Australia, Poland, the Netherlands, and the Ukraine, to name just a few. "The most significant strength of Beckett’s book is her scope. McCutcheon, University of South Carolina Upstate "As her subtitle indicates, Beckett provides a broad perspective of the genre and explores both adult-to-child and child-to-adult crossover fiction, fantasy read by all ages, the reasons for (and consequences of) the popularity of crossover fiction, the effect of Pottermania on the genre, and the publishing and marketing of crossover fiction."-C. At night, I would nudge my husband awake to read him some of its more revealing passages, such as when author Amy Chua threatened to burn her older daughter’s stuffed animals if the child didn’t improve her piano playing. As a hopelessly Western mother married into a Chinese family living in an area that generates immigrant prodigies as reliably as clouds produce rain, I was eager to observe the comeuppance of a parent who thought she had all the answers.Īnd, in many ways, “Tiger Mother” did not disappoint. Although the memoir seems to have been written to prove that Chinese parents are better at raising children than Western ones, the cover text claims that instead it portrays “a bitter clash of cultures, a fleeting taste of glory” and the Tiger Mother’s humbling by a 13-year-old. The cover of “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother” was catnip to this average parent’s soul. 5/28/2023 0 Comments Crankshaft by K.M. NeuholdTim Page and Liam Dicosimo bring to life sweet veterinarian and snarky mechanic in a way that lets you immerse yourself in the Big Bulls Mechanics! The hero complex he has can always lead to no one paying attention to his needs but this is where Porter comes in and really sees him and what he needs in a partner. Although he is busy you could tell how easygoing and settled he is with his people. Steele: Sometimes the typical bear can appear to have a grouchy personality but I didn’t feel that way with Steele. I won’t go as far as to say he needs Steele to see it but give him the push to believe in himself. If I had one complaint it’s that he doesn’t realize his own self worth but isn’t that what makes him endearing. Crankshaft is a great start to the Big Bulls Mechanics series! Porter: I have been a Porter fan since his failed attempts in the Four Bears Construction books but if I thought I was wanting him to find his prince I mean bear… then I was wrong. It's a quiet book, full of emotion and heart, but the author doesn't shy away from the dark stuff, or even answer every question. If you've lost someone you love, if you had unanswered questions, or lingering guilt, The Last Time We Say Goodbye will likely be painful, but also cathartic. But at about 80%, I was openly sobbing - so hard I had to put it down for more than a minute. I didn't expect to react so strongly to Hand 's contemporary novel about main character Lexie dealing with her brother's suicide. But Lex is about to discover that a ghost doesn't have to be real to keep you from moving on.įrom New York Times bestselling author Cynthia Hand, The Last Time We Say Goodbye is a gorgeous and heart-wrenching story of love, loss, and letting go.īooks that deal directly with grief are hard to review in general - because mileage varies so wildly depending on the reader, it's hard to accurately predict how others will react. But there's a secret she hasn't toldĪnyone-a text Tyler sent, that could have changed everything. Lex starts to put her life back together, she tries to block out what And it feels like that's all she'll ever be. Now she's just the girl whose brother killed himself. 5/27/2023 0 Comments Doomlord by Alan GrantSo, as this is the perfect weather for sitting in and having a good read, and in the mind set of monochrome, let’s unearth this gothic jewel from many a thirty something boy’s past…from a time when comics played a big part in kids’ lives, and we were entertained by far more subversive and creative fare than arguably those on offer to a current generation….I give you “The House of Daemon”, from the early 1980s incarnation of Eagle comic, scripted by John Wagner and Alan Grant (of 2000 AD fame), and beautifully illustrated by Spanish artist Jose Oritz.Īs this fits the Serendipity blog’s popular Arts remit, I thought it’d be nice to cover comics more (without attracting an overly obsessed geek tag!) With that in mind, ‘The House of Daemon’ is a fine place to begin. Despite the attempts at some distracting nationalistic colour in the shape of the Queen’s Jubilee and Wimbledon’s first British finalist in over seventy years, I’m thinking that most Brits are feeling literally under the weather. Summer isn’t sunny alright, so we’re not the Costa Del Sol, but July 2012 has been especially grim. As a recognised national pastime, discussion of the elements has currently been given an extra source of vitriol (always the spice in any on-going argument) by the sheer grey gruesomeness of this island nation’s cloud cover. Readers in the UK will need no encouragement in discussing the weather. 5/27/2023 0 Comments Benjamin the storytellerRead more which Benjamin sought to understand the conditions of communicability between languages, he was also testing the thesis in the stories he told. John Berger This volume collects an extraordinary array of short pieces by Walter Benjamin that lets us see the centrality of stories, dreams, and tales to his own experimental writings. And this is why he knew its endless secrets. Walter Benjamin was the interlocutor of all the demons and angels of storytelling. The novellas, fables, histories, aphorisms, parables and riddles in this collection are brought to life by the playful imagery of the modernist artist and Bauhaus. His stories revel in the erotic tensions of city life, cross the threshold between rational and hallucinatory realms, celebrate the importance of games, and delve into the peculiar relationship between gambling and fortune-telling, and explore the themes that defined Benjamin. The Storyteller gathers for the first time the fiction of the legendary critic and philosopher Walter Benjamin, best known for his groundbreaking studies of culture and literature, including Illuminations, One-Way Street and The Arcades Project. A beautiful collection of the legendary thinker's short stories Num Pages: 240 pages. Description for The Storyteller: Tales out of Loneliness Paperback. |
