It is back to seek revenge in the cursed town of Hastings Mills.

It was pure luck that I just happened to go with my friend because who knows how long I would have gone without knowing about it. The hospitality worker, who grew up in Thornton, Merseyside, told the Liverpool Echo : “My diagnosis is a really good lesson in getting tested because I never used to because I was always safe.

This is like all the best LJ books on crack, super high speed. This is where the story really begins, and really, it’s only about twenty pages in. They’ve been best friends since they were kids, and that’s exactly how its always been, never anything more until one day Sage comes to Jolie with the request of her being his fake girlfriend til graduation. THE END ZONE gives us a glimpse into the lives of Sage Poiror, star quarterback, and his best friend Jolie Louis. “The only thing I have to offer is my package.” It also contains an except from VICIOUS in the back that I can’t believe I’d not known about – oh my god it was good, and leads you right into PRETTY RECKLESS. Something a little short and sweet, or as sweet as LJ can write one of her alpha males that is! THE END ZONE is a short story that was originally published in a Sports Romance anthology called TEAM PLAYER. I can’t see another doing her books at all. Callie Dalton narrates all MZ books since the second novel, and knows how to depict her characters perfectly. I read this in ebook format first, and this time I read along with the audio version. Another point they messed up who said what line, on over three occasions left out little things like how Rhodes would look at her or how he’d say things those details in slow burns are key! we love the little looks and smiles and to not add them into the audio book is sloppy editing and takes away from the story. In most cases they were minor things, not adding in the “he said/asked” it was always after he male narrator would speak and assumed it was for flow reasons and wasn’t something that bothered me, but then they also left a whole paragraph of Oras thoughts as well. I have no issues with the voice actors but while listening, I go to my kindle and highlight quotes I enjoy and in doing so i noticed that the narrators have left out words here and there. My only gripe is with the editing of the narration team. more than anything it made me want to take a road trip to CO and witness the beauty described in the book during her hikes. They characters are easily relatable and I always love a grumpy/sunshine dynamic. This book was charming and cute and had me marking quotes that hit close to home for me. The fourth section of Four Quartets, “Little Gidding” was published in 1942. He also makes allusions to both Milton and Dante. Like in Eliot’s early works, the poem connects to numerous earlier writings - such as, in this case, to the early Greek philosopher Heraclitus, the scriptural account of Pentecost, a Hindu text, and the Christian mystics John of The Cross and Julian of Norwich. They deal with the connection of time and eternity - of Chronos (linear time) and Kairos (“the timeless moment”). Perhaps Eliot’s greatest accomplishment is Four Quartets - four related, but separate poems published over a six-year period. He is such a significant figure that both nations claim him as their own. Louis in 1888, but moved to London - becoming a British citizen in 1927. Eliot is the only poet to be both featured in my copy of The Norton Anthology of English Literature, and its American counterpart. As Bill shares his vision, he debunks some of the most persistent myths and misunderstandings about global warming. Above all, we need not accept that we will leave our children a planet that is dirty, overheated, and depleted of resources. We need not accept that dangerous emissions are the price we must pay for a vibrant economy and a comfortable life. We need not accept that transportation consumes half our energy, and that two-thirds of the energy you put into your car is immediately thrown away out the tailpipe. With a scientist's thirst for knowledge and an engineer's vision of what can be, Bill Nye sees today's environmental issues not as insurmountable, depressing problems but as chances for our society to rise to the challenge and create a cleaner, healthier, smarter world. That message is that with a combination of optimism and scientific curiosity, all obstacles become opportunities, and the possibilities of our world become limitless. In Unstoppable, Bill Nye crystallizes and expands the message for which he is best known and beloved. Just as World War II called an earlier generation to greatness, so the climate crisis is calling today's rising youth to action: to create a better future. |
