![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I love the "we've been friends forever and now we're suddenly more" hook and it works well here. Their relationship doesn't just come together, however, she's nursing a broken heart and he's got a career to think of- plus he's a commitment phobe- but when Clare realizes she's no longer gonna follow the path she's taken in the past when it comes to men, Sebastian must face some things about himself as well- or lose the woman he's come to care for more than any other. ![]() Until one passionate kiss rocks their world. When Sebastian decides to stay a few more days to spend time with the Dad he's lost touch with, he and Clare are thrust together forcing them to reacquaint when both just want to run away. Sure he played the perfect gentleman and didn't touch her- well almost- but he's finding it difficult to get the image of her stripping down before him out of his mind. Sebastian Vaughan has known Clare since they were kids but seeing her in a sexy pink thong has put a different spin on things. When she accidentally gets loaded the night of the reception, she awakens to find herself in a hotel room with a man she's known all her life but hasn't seen for ages. But she's determined to set it aside til her best friend gets married. Clare Wingate's carefully ordered life fell apart before her eyes when she walked in on her fiance playing cowboy with the Sears repairman on the closet floor. ![]()

From beyond the Wall the undead and Others clamour for freedom, and from beyond the sea the long-dead Dragon King's daughter hatches her revenge. It has been the longest summer in living memory, lasting ten years, and the smallfolk say it means an even longer winter to come.The first rule of war is never give the enemy his wish. And a white raven has brought word from the Citadel itself, foretelling summer's end. ![]() Stannis's child Princess Shireen dreams of dragons waking from stone. A comet in the night sky, red and malevolent, the colour of blood and flame, can only be an omen of murder and war. In Dragonstone, Robert's brother Stannis has declared himself king, while his other brother Renly proclaims himself king at Storm's End - and Eddard Stark's fifteen year old son Robb wears the crown of the north at Winterfell. Even so, Joffrey is now a boy-king, Cersei is his regent, and war is inevitable. His daughter Sansa is betrothed still to his killer's son Joffrey - Queen Cersei's son, though not the son of her late husband Robert. At King's Landing, the head of Lord Eddard Stark rots on a spike for all to see. y, and his surviving brothers are set on a path of war amongst themselves. ![]() The Iron Throne once united the Sunset Lands, but King Robert is dead, his widow is a traitor to his memor. ![]() Martin's superb fantasy epic continues in consummate style as bloodshed and alchemy lay waste the Seven Kingdoms in the second volume of A Song of Ice and Fire. ![]() ![]() ![]() The writing style is lovely and the illustrations by Colleen Doran are very detailed and stunningly beautiful. ![]() I personally loved the twist which was refreshing, and the story is extremely dark and creepy. I did not do this thing, and we pay for our mistakes.” And I would not close my eyes until the princess was ash, and a gentle wind could scatter her like snow. I would have archers around the square, who would shoot any bird or animal who came close to the flames, any raven or dog or hawk or rat. And then I would watch, in the town square, as the hangman heated the fire to white-heat with bellows, watch unblinking as he consigned each part of her to the fire. But then I would have her head and arms and legs cut off. “If it were today, I would have her heart cut out, true. In addition, this retelling is told from the not-so-evil queen’s point of view… In Neil Gaiman’s adaptation, Snow White isn’t the little innocent sweetheart we all know, but rather some type of blood-sucking monster. This Snow White retelling is totally reimagined and nothing like the original. ![]() ![]() ![]() As with the other two Knuffle Bunny stories, Trixie loses Knuffle Bunny. In this story Trixie and her parents cross the Atlantic Ocean to visit her Oma and Opa in Holland. Yes, I CRIED! Not something one would expect to do after reading a Mo Willems book, but if you’ve grown attached to Trixie and her family by sharing these books with children, then you, too, will likely tear up when you read the ending of Knuffle Bunny Free. However, when I read the final few pages of Knuffle Bunny Free I cried. Initially I felt sad when I learned Knuffle Bunny Free would be the final installment of the “series.” After all, I had such joy reading aloud from the first two books with my fourth and fifth graders (we used those books to look at author’s craft). This book is the final part of the Knuffle Bunny Trilogy. Knuffle Bunny Free: An Unexpected Diversion, by Mo Willems, was released last week. ![]() ![]() By doing so Robert enhanced his kingship through victory. ![]() Similarly, the settlement of the civil war allowed Robert to concentrate on the remaining vestiges of English control in Scotland and take the war into the north of England. The death of Edward I and the comparative ineptitude of Edward II were fortuitous factors which gave Bruce time and space to pursue his Scottish opponents to defeat or submission. Bruce’s ability to survive and prosper depended on his political and military acumen in taking advantage of existing political divisions and the enlisting of popular support bolstered by English repression. ![]() These movements merged as one, assisted by Robert I, due to factors including the political polarization of Scotland created by the murder of Comyn within the wider scenario of the Anglo-Scottish war. However, these factors all revolve around the separate, converging movements of Bruce seeking support for the seizure of the Scottish throne and which of a patriotic cause associated with the community of the realm seeking to overthrow English overlordship claims. ![]() The factors which enabled Bruce’s cause to survive and prosper between the murder of John Comyn on 10 February 13 are multifarious and inter-linked. ![]() ![]() ![]() Their victory was short-lived however, as the land was cursed by Rhiannon Crochan prior to her death, and became unusable for the Clans to live in. It is unclear whether the Ironteeth were excluded from this arrangement, but five hundred years later the three Ironteeth Clans united to overthrow House Crochan and take over the Witch Kingdom. ![]() Their offspring became the first witches.Īfter the first Valg War, the witches were gifted the Western Wastes by Brannon Galathynius. The humans weren’t resilient enough to breed with, but the Fae were stronger, and the Valg began kidnapping them to breed with. But the Valg wanted the world for their own, and they thought a good way to get it would be to ensure that their offspring could survive there. It was the Valg, and the Fae, and humans. Millennia ago, when the Valg broke into the world, witches did not exist. ![]() ![]() Let’s get this out of the way early, Galaxy is not better than Record, and that is absolutely fine. Is it the culmination of the series and the best book of the four? No, it is not. But let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves, because we still haven’t answered the questions at hand: Is The Galaxy, And The Ground Within a proper send-off to the Wayfarers? Yes, it is. ![]() Although I am sad this series is finally coming to a close after four books, I am also extremely excited to see what Chambers has in store for us next. And yet, one of the beautiful things about Becky Chambers’ writing is her ability to infuse emotion into almost any person, place, or thing. ![]() ![]() I have been a huge fan of the series ever since I picked up the first book ( A Long Way To A Small, Angry Planet), and I count the third book ( Record Of A Spaceborn Few) among my favorite books of all time – so this announcement left me a bit depressed. According to a note from the author in my ARC of The Galaxy, And The Ground Within, this book marks the fourth and final installment of Becky Chamber’s The Wayfarers. ![]() ![]() ![]() People with Haden's have a virtual world in which they congregate, and through neural implants, they can control robotic bodies, "threeps" and communicate with others IRL. ![]() Plot: This is a second book set in the near future world where about 1% of Earth population is afflicted with something called Haden's Syndrome - a disease that leaves the patient "locked in" - unable to move any muscle of their body, while being conscious and maintaining full mental capacity.
