![]() ![]() They are both excellent puzzles and entertaining reads. As you may be aware, Thorogood is the creator of Death In Paradise, one of the only mystery shows on TV that remembers to include actual clues in the plot, and he also wrote four excellent novels based on the show, featuring the original sleuth Richard Poole – A Meditation On Murder, The Killing of Polly Carter, Death Knocks Twice and Murder In The Caribbean – all of which fans of the show, or fans of mysteries in general, really should read. I’ve been a fan of Robert Thorogood’s work since roughly the start of the blog. And she’s certain she knows who did it – apart from the fact that the suspect has a cast-iron alibi. ![]() ![]() Enlisting the help of Suzie, a dog-walker, and Becks, the vicar’s wife, Judith decides that if the police can’t find the killer, she will have to do it. The police find nothing suspicious, but determined to find out what happened, Judith finds her neighbour’s body in the garden with a bullet-hole in his forehead. That would seem to be enough for her, until during a night-time swim, she hears an altercation at a neighbour’s house – and a gunshot. Seventy-seven year old Judith Potts has a settled life, a mostly solitary routine of crossword setting, drinking whisky and skinny-dipping in the Thames in the evening. ![]()

Like the other Off-Campus books, The Score stars a hockey player who the rest of the gang knows. Her writing is so easy and fun, and her sex scenes are top tier. Elle Kennedy does a phenomenal job at making her readers wish they had given more attention to the hockey players when they were in college. These books are the perfect “get out of your book slump” books, and overall are just a lot of lighthearted fun. I recommend these books constantly in real life, just because they are so easy for a vast and diverse majority to like them. ![]() I was so surprised by the effect it had on me. I was so reluctant to pick The Deal up, because I didn’t think I’d like it at all just based on the premise of hockey players in college. These books are such hidden gems and if you’re on the fence about trying them – PLEASE give them a shot. ![]() ![]() ![]() But it’s when Gen lets go of her history, the one she thinks she knows, that she’s finally able to embrace the complicated, chaotic true story of her life, and take center stage.

Through the lens of an ongoing four act play within the novel, the fantasy of their undying love unravels line by line, scene by scene. As Gen pushes herself forward to find her new identity without Peter, she must also confront her most painful memories. The betrayal causes Gen to question everything. She finds refuge and stability in her relationship with her boyfriend, Peter–until he abandons her at a Planned Parenthood clinic during their appointment to terminate an unwanted pregnancy. ![]() ![]() King, author of Still Life with Tornado “Mighty, innovative, and nearly impossible to put down.” –David Arnold, author of Kids of Appetite “Incredibly honest and empathetic.” –ALA Booklist “Big-hearted, sensitive, and engrossing.” –Publishers Weekly “Troubled.” That’s seventeen-year-old Genesis according to her small New Jersey town.

Most of it is very well written and most of the characters are if not likeable then interesting and real enough to work. The race is on – is the asteroid from our future or from the future of some less lucky parallel universe?īear has taken one really good idea and spun a very interesting story around it. The clincher is that it seems to be constructed by humans! It could be from our future or it could be from some other future, the only thing certain is that there's a library that describes the near total destruction the coming war will bring, and the long nuclear winter that will follow it. The Stone is a hollowed out asteroid containing seven chambers each with their own landscape and cities. In the near future when human kind is, once again, on the brink of total self-destruction, when The Stone arrives. Tombstone, or milestone, the war that breaks out on earth beneath its presence seems to bear witness to its prowess as oracle. It comes from the future of our humanity. The inner dimensions are at odds with the outer: there are different chambers to be breached, some containing deserted cities the furthest chamber contains the greatest mystery ever to confront the Stones scientists.īut the Stone is not an alien structure. Above our planet hangs a hollow stone, vast as the imagination of Man. ![]() ![]() (1954), "Witch of Agnesi", Curves and their Properties (PDF), Classics in Mathematics Education, vol. 4, National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, pp. 237–238 ![]() Dennis (2013), "4.3 Witch of Agnesi (Fermat, 1666 Agnesi, 1748)", A Catalog of Special Plane Curves, Dover Books on Mathematics, Courier Corporation, pp. 90–93, ISBN 9780486167664
6/28/2023 0 Comments Howard thurman disinherited![]() ![]() What are words, however sacred and powerful, in the presence of the grim facts of the daily struggle to survive? Any attempt to deal with this situation on a basis of values that disregard the struggle for survival appears to be in itself a compromise with life. How to do this is perhaps the greatest challenge that the religion of Jesus faces in modern life. Tremendous skill and power must be exercised to show the disinherited the awful results of the role of negative deception into which their lives have been cast. ![]() The great stretches of barren places in the soul must be revitalized, brought to life, before they can be challenged. “A profound piece of surgery has to take place in the very psyche of the disinherited before the great claim of the religion of Jesus can be presented. ![]() ![]() ![]() The animation quality is mostly quite nice, the colours are vibrant and beautiful, especially loved the Land of Dreams and Drosselmeier's house, and the backgrounds are crisply drawn and detailed. But there are also some nice amusing touches like "real mature", "ramming speed" and "maybe they'll write a book about our adventure, or maybe even a ballet", the last one was especially clever and anybody who gets it will love it. The script is not always consistent, the dialogue while appealingly light-hearted is often too contemporary and anachronistic and there are too many in-jokes and pop culture references. When it comes to animated versions of the timeless story of The Nutcracker, The Nutcracker and the Mouse King is not as good as The Nutcracker Prince(just lovely all round) and Jetlag's(very good, one of their better animations too) version, but is much better than The Nuttiest Nutcracker(sometimes fun but often weird, not very easy to rate). ![]() 6/27/2023 0 Comments Swimming Home by Deborah Levy![]() ![]() ![]() Jurgen, the German vegetarian marijuana-smoking caretaker of the holiday home, would like to be famous but has not got the time.

So they spelled it wrong on purpose? Whyyyyyyyy?! Why do you people wanna screw with me like this? You know, the ones who don't get pop culture references, and still need help figuring out the difference between Twitter and Tumbler. Planet Anne! I like the sound of that! It can be a safe haven for all the sad little geriatric aliens in the multiverse. Since I'm somewhat late to The Walking Dead phenomenon ( Kelly has theorized that I'm some sort of ALIEN goddess from the stars), I'm going to try not to spoil anything for the other people from my planet. *In other words, I skimmed the first few pages, realized I'd forgotten all of the plot details, and started reading in earnest immediately. Book One is apparently volumes 1 & 2, but even though I've already read and reviewed the first one, I still ended up reading most* of it again as a refresher. ![]() |
