![]() ![]() My Thoughts…4.5/5 stars I’m being very stingy with my ratings for the last week but this book was nearly a 5/5 if it weren’t for me thinking they dragged it on for a bit.ĭon’t get me wrong. Kline Brooks is the quintessential billionaire bad boy-dark, styled, short hair, muscles for days, and a panty-dropping smile.Īs his employee, he won’t touch her with a ten foot pole. One more crotch selfie and she might write men off for good…īut why can’t she stop fantasizing about him? ![]() No matter how fast she runs, how many corners she turns, she can’t find her way out of this weird, alternate universe where men think dick pics are a replacement for small talk and getting to know a girl. ![]() Georgia Cummings has zero luck with dating, and the era of the internet is not her friend. Synopsis: Blind dates? Online dating profiles? Been there, done that. Title: Tapping the Billionaire (Bad Boy Billionaires Book #1) ![]() ![]() Then I would read.Ī world of words, a universe of sorrows and joys! Open, sesame, and out tumbled the tales of Scheherazade told in a thousand and one nights (how deliciously frightening to have your life depend on a tale). ![]() I would inhale the smell of paper and ink, thread and glue, imagine I was inhaling the very fragrances of words. When my book was new, I would open it slowly, slowly, in the middle, then I would bring the book closer to my nose. Then I would pull the string of the lampshade (light, warm like skin), and begin to read. On rainy mornings when I could not leave the house to play in the backyard, I would plump my pillow and let it stand against the bed’s headboard. One word would join another, turning into a sentence, a whole train of them turning into paragraphs, into pages, into books! I would copy onto my lined paper the letters, and then the words formed by joining one letter to the next, unlocking meanings, pulling them away from each other’s loneliness. She would sit beside me, guiding my hand to form the arcs, loops and crosses, the dips and turns of the letters: the alphabets in a dance. ![]() My mother taught me the alphabet even before I was enrolled in kindergarten class. ![]() ![]() The series starts, in the first book, with the triangular relationship between a British woman, Daphne Mannering, an Indian man who was educated in England, Hari Kumar, and a British police officer, Ronald Merrick. There is also, actually, a Booker Prize winning 5th novel, which isn’t part of the quartet, but which is nominally attached to the first four books and which focuses on a married couple who stay in India after independence, called Staying On. The total length of the quartet is in the neighborhood of 2000 pages. I think they may be a tie-in for the 1984 BBC television series which I have not seen) from a UBS in 2013. ![]() I bought the four matching fat paperbacks (not the editions I used for the review information – mine all have the same cover and they are pretty ugly, actually. When I pulled the first book, A Jewel in the Crown, off of my TBR cart to begin reading, I found the receipt from my purchase of the quartet. I started this quartet of books on May 9 and finished the fourth book, A Division of the Spoils, two months later on July 9. Against the backdrop of the violent partition of India and Pakistan, A Division of the Spoils illuminates one last bittersweet romance, revealing the divided loyalties of the British as they flee, retreat from, or cling to India. After exploiting India's divisions for years, the British depart in such haste that no one is prepared for the Hindu-Muslim riots of 1947. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The more I listened the more I liked the characters and the more I liked this sort of story. The middle also has a lot of just running around and killing Zombies, which bored me, hence the four stars, not five. At first it was only Howie and Howie is very likeable, but the story did start to drag until he got together with Dave. For me, Howie and Dave together gave this Zombie book a lot of charm. Yes, there is some head chopping and some gory stuff happens, but the way it is written it is not going to give you nightmares. In my opinion this is not as gross or gory or dark as many of the others. If you have read more than one Zombie book, there will not be much new in this story. He is a very likeable character that most people can relate to. He does not work out, is not a genius and has no super powers. Howard is 27 and a night manager at a chain grocery store. In the morning it was in Eastern Europe, by noon it was in Europe and by that evening it had crossed the channel into England. DESIGNER STUBBLE I have read a lot of zombie books, but the spread of this plague was the fastest ever. ![]() ![]() Our tribute begins with a personal reminiscence by Wayne MacLaurin, and includes an overview by Wayne and Steve Tompkins of what is now Gemmell’s legacy: all those novels. With 30 novels in 22 years, Gemmell did more to change that than anyone save possibly Robert E. From the near-immaculate conception of “The Shadow Kingdom” in 1929 on up through even the boom years of the late ’60s to the mid-’80s, there has quite simply never been as much of the really primo, adventurous and non-counterfeit stuff as we would like. Sword-and-sorcery has always been as associationally damned by mediocre or mercenary writers as by those who automatically dismiss the subgenre. We come not to bury David Gemmell - that was the sorrowful duty of his family and friends after his death on Jbut to praise him and a contribution to recent heroic fantasy that was profound as well as prolific.

It can be difficult to take advice from someone on how to do something, especially is that advice feels like it forced onto you, but even when it’s not, the most difficult part is often to figure which advice to listen to.

In the Middle Ages, poetry was primarily written in Latin, which made it available solely to the educated. ![]() He immortalized her in La Vita Nuova (1292) and The Divine Comedy, ensuring that her legacy would live on through his words. Dante's encounter with his great love, Beatrice took place in 1274, and her influence on his life and work is immeasurable. He started writing The Divine Comedy in 1308 and finished it in 1321. He was a philosopher and theologist involved with religion and political issues in medieval Florence, his hometown. ![]() The Divine Comedy, or 'La Divina Commedia,' is a narrative poem by the Italian poet Dante Alighieri. ![]() ![]() “Embrace of the Vampire plays the vampire/victim dynamic to the hilt and packs a substantial erotic punch!” Romance Writers of America’s “Heart of the West Writers Contest” Finalist. He closed his eyes and surrendered to the bewitchment. “Not tonight,” she said with a determined look in her eyes before snuggling into his shoulder again, her perfume encircling them like a magic spell blocking out the rest of the world. “Veronica, as you know too well, when the Ghost tries, he usually succeeds.” She pulled back a bit with a wicked grin and replied, “But we want the Ghost to try.” “You see, if I have you close like this and I never let you go, no one can steal the diamond,” he whispered into her dark hair. ![]() ![]() He pulled her more firmly against him and they swayed to the romantic music. He took her in his arms and the warmth of having her so close hit him like a wave. Unconsciously, she reached up and touched the diamond around her throat. “You’re enjoying yourself then,” he commented, as she wound her arm through his and dragged him onto the floor. ![]() ![]() “Let’s just dance and dance all night!” she exclaimed. She smiled and he was dazzled by the pure joy on her face. “Is it my turn now?” he asked, as she reached his side. ![]() |
