Yet somehow, I didn’t love Just Like Heaven. It’s the bookish equivalent of snacking on jellybeans. Instead, let’s just say that Just Like Heaven is a sweet romance that doesn’t tug on too many heartstrings. “Fluffy” is probably the adjective to use, but I think that brings with it the connotation that fluffy books are somehow “less than” other books. In today’s historical romance market, Julia Quinn is known for her light-hearted, comedic romances. It's Julia Quinn at her best, so you know the answer is.

'An amazing ride through the rich landscape of contemporary cosmology. Brilliantly argued and beautifully written, it is never less than thought-provoking about the greatest mysteries of our existence' - New York Times ' Our Mathematical Universe is nothing if not impressive. What he proposes is an elegant and fascinating idea: that our physical world not only is described by mathematics, but that it is mathematics. Where do we come from? What makes the universe the way it is? In essence, why are we here? With dazzling clarity, Max Tegmark ponders these deep mysteries and allows us to grasp the most cutting-edge and mind-boggling theories of physics. Part-history of the cosmos, part-intellectual adventure, Our Mathematical Universe travels from the Big Bang to the distant future via parallel worlds, across every possible scale - from the sub-atomic to the intergalactic - showing how mathematics provides the answers to our questions about the world. In Our Mathematical Universe, Max Tegmark, one of the most original physicists at work today, leads us on an astonishing journey to explore the mysteries uncovered by cosmology and to discover the nature of reality 6/12/2023 0 Comments Azarinth healer book 2Bear that in mind if you want to adjust this review accordingly. I like powerful women so a power-fantasy with a Mary Sue isn't a bad fit. Except, and sometimes also, when she’s poisoned and/or has set herself on fire. She’s struggling to survive, has no idea what will happen next, and is loving every minute of it. Magic she can use to fight even bigger monsters. With no quest to follow, no guide to show her the way, and no real desire to be a Hero – Ilea embarks on a journey to discover a world full of magic. Well, maybe not her wildest dreams, but it’s close. On the bright side, ‘killing those monsters right back’ is now a viable career path! For she soon discovers her new home runs on a set of game-like rules that will allow her to punch things harder than in her wildest dreams. So maybe it's lucky that she wakes up one day in a strange world where a bunch of fantasy monsters are trying to kill her.? Instead, the plan is to quit her crappy fast-food job, go to college, and become a fully functioning member of society. Unfortunately, there aren’t too many career options for hungry brawlers. 6/12/2023 0 Comments The sculptor by scott mccloudWithout hesitation, David chooses to be a martyr for his art, and soon he has the ability to mold any material simply by touch-and 200 days to live. Stewing in self-pity and booze, he receives an uncanny visitor who offers him a choice between the long, slow burn of the compromised life or the firework pop of the superstar. Comics writer/illustrator and theorist McCloud ( Making Comics, 2006, etc.) presents an artist’s struggle to make a name for himself and the complications love brings to the Faustian deal he's made to gain total control of his craft.ĭavid Smith once had a promising career as a sculptor, but his abrasive personality burned too many bridges, and now he can’t even hold down a job flipping burgers. I admit that being inside the head of the main character required all my concentration. I should tell you too, that the style of writing may change forever your view of what a novel is or should be. However, I’d rank this as a must-read, particularly for anyone interested in understanding the experiences and emotions of a man in exile. Don’t expect this to be a comfortable read. The increasingly distressing news bulletins, along with Adam’s haunting childhood memories, compel him to examine his own beliefs in God, in humanity, in himself and his integrity as a reluctant bystander in the worst human catastrophe of the twenty-first century. Opportunities are few and Adam finds himself working long hours for poor pay so that he can help his family. His family, still living – or surviving – in war-torn Syria, struggle daily.Īdam tries to be a ‘global citizen’ and become a part of his new community in Malaysia, but is constantly faced with intolerance, bigotry, and plain old racism. Exiled from his homeland, forced to watch the horrors unfold from afar. When George Clooney Tanuwijaya's father (who is obsessed with American celebrities) fears he no longer understands how to get through to his son, he decides to take matters into his own hands. "A delightful, hilarious, captivating love letter to Indonesia, and coming of age in a large meddlesome family, and the thrill of finding your person where you least expect it!"-Ali Hazelwood, New York Times bestselling author of The Love HypothesisĪ laugh-out-loud YA rom-com about a girl who's whisked from LA to her mother's native Indonesia to get back to her roots and finds herself fake-dating the son of one of the wealthiest families there, from the bestselling author of Dial A for Aunties and The ObsessionĪfter Sharlot Citra's mother catches her in a compromising position, she finds herself whisked away from LA to her mother’s native Indonesia.

First, there's the hero mom who goes shopping with 5 children! Then, there are the kids who help by finding the things in the grocery store that the family needs and with loading and unloading the car. I love that this has a real narrative and interesting, true-to-life characters. The story also counts up to ten twice one set takes place at the grocery store the other set takes place at home, splitting the book into two distinct acts. This kind of writing is perfect for kids with autism, the beat and sound of the words anchor children in the text and help them attend to the story. The text on each page is a tightly constructed, brilliant poem with a subtle, easy rhythm and rhyme scheme: one cart into the grocery store // two pumpkins for pie // three chickens to fry // four children off to look for more. The colorful, and often patterned illustrations, are offset against a plain white background that perfectly focuses a child's attention on the people, what they are doing, and the things to count. The numeral is shown and the sight word for that numeral begins the text for the page. Each page has a scene from the story featuring something that is being counted. Feast for 10 is a moderately advanced counting concept book. A classic! An African American family shops at the grocery store, cooks dinner, and eats together.

She’s had a lot of ups and downs and she has on occasion been flighty and a bit wild. I had an idea about what had happened between them but it was great to have my suspicions confirmed and to actually see play out the chain of events that led up to the two of them ending up apart.īethy has never been my favourite character in the series. I loved all the flashbacks to eight years ago when Tripp and Bethy first fell in love. Although I was incredibly upset about what happened to Jace earlier in the series, I can finally see now why Abbi Glines made the choice she did concerning his character. The story of Bethy and the elusive and mysterious Tripp. This is the book that I think all Rosemary Beach fans were waiting for. |
