I mean, whatever happened to predictability? The milkman, the paperboy, the evening TV? Used to be everywhere you look, there's a heart, a hand to hold on to.Īnyway, I love to hear from readers so drop me a line here or at my website and we'll talk about friends to know, and ways to grow, and how if you threw a party you would see that the biggest gift would be from me and the card attached would say, thank you for being a friend. My likes include animals, food, and nostalgia. There's more coming soon like ALL THESE BODIES and a new fantasy series, so don't waste another minute on your cryin. There's more to life that what you're living, so take a chance and face the wind. Fiction, philosophy, good books, bad books, because you take the good you take the bad you take them both and there you have a stack of books and stuff. What might be right for you, may not be right for some. The Anna Dressed in Blood duo is horror, The Goddess War trilogy is mythology, and Three Dark Crowns is fantasy, because the world don't move to the beat of just one drum.

But a late night call from her mother sends her into a panic. She has reinvented herself and made her way in the world. Teslyn escaped from her less than idyllic childhood. Sparks fly between them as they unravel the web of lies surrounding Ivy, but when the HERO Force mission in Colorado goes horribly awry, can Wyatt forgive himself for coming to Teslyn's aid and sending a teammate in his place? Teslyn must convince Wyatt of her innocence, even with the forces of evil in hot pursuit. But how can he trust her when her Jeep matches the plate number on the AMBER alert he passed on the highway, and she's carrying a little girl who seems uncomfortable in her care? Instead, he's driving across two states to help a woman he's never met, her panicked voice on the other end of the line summoning him simply: Ghost said you would help me. Teslyn races through the night, her entire world exploding when she finds her mother's home ablaze and her terrified little sister hiding nearby.įormer Navy SEAL Wyatt Sorensen should be on a HERO Force mission hunting down a notorious criminal in the mountains of Colorado. Promise you'll take care of Ivy if anything happens to me. Teslyn McGregor was estranged from her mother when a phone call sets a disaster in motion. He left a HERO Force mission to help a woman in jeopardy, not knowing how dire the consequences of that choice would be. Great illustrations with lots of action – this should appeal to boys and girls alike. Girls (and girl pigs) can kick some serious wolf butt. I loved that the third pig was all “Bring it, Wolf,” and forgive me – badass. All 3 pigs rededicate themselves to their lessons and eventually open a dojo to train others in the martial arts. The first 2 pigs are no match for the wolf when he comes, but the third pig (the girl!) impresses the wolf, who runs away rather than test himself against her. The first little pig dabbles in Aikido, the second little pig takes Jujitsu (but only masters the basics), and the third little pig becomes a dedicated practitioner of Karate (advancing through all of the belts and practicing regularly). A retelling of the Three Little Pigs, these 3 pigs decide to go on the offensive and prepare themselves for a wolf attack by taking classes in martial arts. This book gets points for being an excellent (and funny) story that actually uses rhyme to good effect (unlike a lot of the picture books I’ve been reading lately). Finally, he is rescued, but not by anyone connected to his home or family. He spends the next year in the custody of the pirate captain Falcone, abused in the name of molding him into a protégé. It introduces the major characters and is told from the point of view of Joslyn Aaron Musey, a child survivor of a pirate attack on the starship he called home.

The four of them pulled Bakura away and give him a tour of the school. While, Yugi Mutou, Katsuya Jonouchi, Anzu Mazaki and Hiroto Honda were speaking with Ryo Bakura, who had just transferred to Domino High, the fangirl and three other girls approached them and told Jonouchi to quit hogging Bakura. Oblivious to the lack of any non-obvious future being told, she was easily impressed and infatuated with him. Okay, everybody is a Simon Snow fan, but for Cath, being a fan is her life.

Create and Develop Your Own Style - INCLUDES 3 BUILT-IN CHALKBOARDS Her characters may babble and blather, and her Peckham people more than most, but Spark can describe their body language with the fewest of words. Spark's descriptions are often remarkable for their efficiency too. They make the words on the page rise up and form themselves into a picture. It's such quick sketches I love to come across. After he'd sung the line about waiting at the church, and after he'd been reproved by his wife and the barmaid, each in her own fashion, he took a draught of his bitter with a tremble of the elbow and a turn of the wrist. The old man in the quote above is a good example. While reading this 1960 story, spotting such descriptions became my main focus. While reading some of Spark's other novels, I realised what a fine observer of people's behavior she was, and I began to look forward to her descriptions of characters almost as much as to the stories they found themselves in. I do have a few thoughts about another aspect of this book however. If you're interested in what Muriel Spark can do with such an age-old theme, you can read this short book for yourself. There must be many ballads about brides abandoned at the altar but none of them can be quite as strange as The Ballad of Peckham Rye.Īnd that's pretty much all I have to say about the plot part of this book. 'There was I,' sang out an old man in the public bar, 'waiting at the church, waiting at the church.' |
