Fae chronicles book 16/29/2023 Tight pants or short short that show off her ass. Always small, tight tank that shows cleavage. Right down to describing every outfit change Syn has, and sexualizing it. If you have read my reviews before, you know I love smut. It was just smut, with a little bit of story. Ryder's POV was him thinking repetitively that he was going to make her his, and his dirty thoughts. Syn's constant inner monologue hating Ryder, but constantly thinking the same dirty thoughts over and over was irritating and boring. I don't mind a darker romance, but I want a CONSENSUAL romance. Am I supposed to be impressed that he doesn't rape her? Her touches her, he fucks with her mind. At one point he has her crawling on the ground. Repetitive.Ģ0% through the book, and Ryder had "fae-fucked" Syn twice, which is essentially bending her will and body, and making her so insanely horny, she is begging him to fuck her (despite the fact that she hates him and all fae). I got 20% through the book, and multiple times I had to stop, go back, and make sure I didn't skip a page, because it was disjointed. Potential for sure, but she needs an editor.

The Panic Virus by Seth Mnookin6/29/2023 If you’re the parent of a child with a problem and you have the means to look for answers outside of the box, this is what you do. It was low-risk: Even if it didn’t work, we had nothing to lose, other than co-pays and time. Although I’m a physician, the concept of vision therapy made intuitive sense. But when I told the ophthalmologist about the vision therapy, he told me flatly that, at least in my son’s case, it was mumbo-jumbo and not to waste my money. Immediately, I knew we were doing the right thing. I threw a few search terms into Google, came upon an offbeat treatment for eye disorders called vision therapy, and soon found a local practitioner, a middle-aged Chinese-American woman with short hair and half-moon glasses whose messy office was filled with eye charts and board games and had tennis balls hanging from the ceiling and who promptly engaged my son in games and eye exercises. But, he added, he couldn’t promise that my son would ever have normal depth perception. When my son was a toddler, an ophthalmologist diagnosed him with a form of amblyopia (lazy eye) and recommended an eye patch to improve his overall vision.

Grace’s life changes after her parents died in a tragic car accident. Putting the “teenage” phrases aside, Crave was a good book to pass the time. I mean, I may not be a teenager anymore but there were a couple of teenage cringe-worthy scenes. The plot has potential, the characters are okay, but I really think Tracy Wolff was trying too hard to connect with teenagers. Except for having a weak ass main character.Īt the beginning I wasn’t too keen on the book. Black cover with a flower in the middle.īut after reading a couple of chapters, Crave could not be any more different than Twilight. When I first saw the cover for Crave, my mind immediately went to the Twilight series.

Ian hamilton in search of jd salinger6/29/2023 The “embarrassed silence” Malcolm describes can best be illustrated by the lack of attention paid to “Hapworth” by Time magazine, the publication that featured Salinger on its cover just four years earlier. It seemed to confirm the growing critical consensus that Salinger was going to hell in a hand basket. Salinger’s “Hapworth 26, 1924″-a very long and very strange story in the form of a letter from camp written by Seymour Glass when he was seven-appeared in The New Yorker in June 1965, it was greeted with unhappy, even embarrassed silence. “Hapworth’s” reception is most concisely explained in the introduction to the article “Justice for Salinger” by Janet Malcolm: It was Salinger’s first and only published work after “Seymour: An Introduction.” Reviews, Criticism, & Commentary Seymour provides an emotional account of their time at Camp Hapworth interspersed with condescending advice to his family and rants on religion and literature in nearly 30,000 words. Published in the The New Yorker, June 19, 1965, pages 32-113 Plot Summaryīuddy Glass, age 46 transcribes a letter written by his older brother Seymour at the age of seven, when both boys were attending summer camp at Camp Simon Hapworth.

Kōji suzuki's ring6/29/2023 When Ando receives the fax and figures out the woman he's been shtupping is in fact Sadako, his terror and bewilderment is way out of proportion to the reader's. And it also seemed fairly obvious to me that the only way she could be walking and talking is if she's the "thing" Mai gave birth to (because we know Mai gives birth to something). One more thing: is the identity of the young woman coming out of Mai's apartment supposed to be a "big reveal" moment towards the end of the novel? I assumed immediately this is vengeful Sadako in the flesh. But I'm willing to give Suzuki a chance and see what he can pull off in the final installment of the trilogy - Loop. It seems overly ambitious to me at this point, without the "meat" to sustain it in a satisfying, credible way. Just go with it.įor fans familiar with the Ring movies, this is a pretty wild *evolution* of the original premise and curse. This is j-horror, not a medical thriller nor Isaac Asimov. There's some crazy ass theories going on in these pages and if you don't commit to just sit back and enjoy the ride you will not. But two things chipped away at the star rating: 1) not enough creee-py (though a few scenes work incredibly well) and 2) waaaaay too much solving of codes and clues and shop-talk about genetics and DNA (oh, and these biological aspects are much more strap on your suspension of disbelief fantastical than this guy's done his research science fiction with the emphasis on science).

Wolves Eat Dogs by Martin Cruz Smith6/29/2023 Renko's journey to this ghostly netherworld, the crimes he uncovers there, and the secrets they reveal about the New Russia make for an unforgettable adventure. It is still aglow with radioactivity, now inhabited only by the militia, shady scavengers, a few reckless scientists, and some elderly peasants who refuse to relocate. A Moscow detective is sent to Chernobyl for a frightening case in the most spectacular entry yet in Martin Cruz Smiths Arkady Renko series. In Wolves Eat Dogs, Renko returns for his most enigmatic and baffling case yet: the death of one of Russia's new billionaires, which leads him to Chernobyl and the Zone of Exclusion-closed to the world since 1986's nuclear disaster.

The setting of the novel is Wigan, an English town. In his groundbreaking Gorky Park, Martin Cruz Smith created an iconic detective of contemporary fiction. The protagonist of the novel is Jonathan Blair who is an engineer and an explorer and must solve a case involving the disappearance of a local curate and an accident in the mines that killed 76 people.
