5/11/2023 0 Comments Hijacked by Lucy Lennox![]() ![]() ![]() Hijacked is a m/m, bodyguard, medical, romantic comedy that is told in the dual first-person point of view. ![]() Michael Dean did a good job of bringing all of the characters and the story to life. This was my first book by both of these authors and I will definitely be reading more from both in the future. The story was different than I expected but could not seem to put it down and found myself laughing out loud multiple times. Riggs and Carter's story is highly entertaining with a twist of suspense that kept me interested right from the very beginning. While helping the people of Venezuela, Riggs and Carter are captured and must find a way to get home safely all while trying to remain professional. Riggs has messed up at work, yet again, and is put on what he sees as a babysitting job accompanying Cater on his trip to Venezuela. You're adventurous and wild, but you're also sweet and thoughtful." A laugh-out-loud, twisting story that will have you glued to the pages. On paper, we have nothing in common, but you fill up a part of me I didn't know was empty until we met. ![]()

I thanked him, and said, "Anything doing up top?" He said "No." I got up, took off my jumper, and had a wash in a bucket of water, and just as I had finished I heard in the distance a bugle sound of "Action." I was so surprised that I could hardly believe my ears, but the rush of feet by the door forced it upon me. ![]() We lay down and had quite a comfortable sleep, having nothing on our mind to keep us awake. I had the first dog watch (4.0 to 6.0 p.m.), in the battery so I made arrangements with the Gunner's Mate on watch to send a man down and let me know when it was 3.30 p.m. Queen Mary, and I am asking that whoever reads this at any time will please remember that the writer is much handier behind a pair of 13.5-inch guns than behind a pen.

Lee![]() ![]() Lullaby takes place in the Altairn Empire, where every person has their own sandman or sand maiden. I have increased my rating here to reflect my new rating of her book (but I also left my previous rating), and any issues that were addressed in the new edition have *s next to them to indicate that it is either less of a problem or gone entirely. The second edition – the version currently for sale, as of February 2018 – has addressed a lot of these issues. After posting, the author had reached out to me and other reviewers to edit the book and republish. Note: This review was initially written for the 1st Edition, released January 2018. “I believed creativity to be the expression of the person, who they were inside. Unfortunately, the writing style, pacing, and the characters make this book very disappointing.

Their lives overlap. If it were possible to relive your memories and the memories of others, would you? It's a moral dilemma that the characters face in Jennifer Egan's latest book, "The Candy House." ![]() 5/10/2023 0 Comments Fragile Things by Neil Gaiman![]() ![]() If I ever have a long road trip, I'm putting this back in the queue for sure. They hit all the right buttons and leave you with a feeling that something amazing just happened but you missed how the magic trick happened. There are some, like the novella featuring Shadow, the main character from American Gods, that are just plain good stories. You know that creepy way Bradbury or Twilight Zone stories come back to haunt you every time you hear about virtual reality or fly on an airplane? Only this one is about children's books. There are some, like "The Problem of Susan" that I'm not very happy about, but I know they will stick with me as only the best sci-fi short stories can. Plus, I'm a sucker for British male narrators.Īnyways, this collection is very diverse, with poems and funny ones and mystery ones and ones I'd never read before, and everything with that little (or huge) twist I've come to expect. ![]() There's something about the author reading his own words that makes them more meaningful. I was over halfway through this book of short stories when I got the audio book and started over.

Their encouragement and criticism were to play a valuable part in the formation of his style. He settled in Paris where he renewed his earlier friendships with such fellow-American expatriates as Ezra Pound and Gertrude Stein. In 1922, he reported on the Greco-Turkish war before resigning from journalism to devote himself to fiction. ![]() He returned to America in 1919, and married in 1921.

The violent Uncle Juan and his manic wife, Aunt Gloria the crusty, devilish, magnetic violinist, Uncle Román insanely embittered Aunt Angustias and an oblivious, antiquated grandmother all offer up their own chaotic storylines, while perfectly balancing Andrea's stoic, ruminative personality. But the narrative is no less interesting because of this, as it leaves plenty of room for the larger-than-life characters that occupy the house to fully flex their gross vitality and charming decrepitude. 4 Bände: Nada, Carmen Laforet Der Garten über dem Meer, Mercè Rodoreda Verloren im Labyrinth, Manuel Vázquez Montalbán Reisebuch Spanien im TB Format. ![]() Although Andrea is young, she isn't adventurous or carefree like others her age, and much of the action takes place within her extended family's dank flat or along the melancholic city streets immediately surrounding it. 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars. The story follows 18-year-old Andrea as she spends a year with crazy relatives in a squalid, ramshackle townhouse on Calle de Aribau in post–civil war Barcelona.
