![]() ![]() David and Tamani’s love for Laurel intensified greatly and had me on the edge of my seat wondering which part of her she would follow to decide who she wanted to be with. Laurel has been thrust into a position of great responsibility and is being torn between her human life and her inherent faerie gifts. ![]() The characters that were introduced in ‘Wings’ were explored more in this second novel. How could human life compete with the new and beautiful life as a Fall faerie? The new revelations and rules that Laurel had to deal with took her for a loop and created more internal struggle then ever before. I loved the world of Avalon that Pike explored in this book. I was so pleased when I was able to finally get this book! I have been patiently waiting for it to come out so that I could continue the amazing story of Laurel and her new-found faerie blood. When it comes time to protect those she loves, will she depend on David, her human boyfriend, for help? Or will she turn to Tamani, the electrifying faerie with whom her connection is undeniable? ( SOURCE) But her human family and friends are still in mortal danger–and the gateway to Avalon is more compromised than ever. Now she must spend her summer there, honing her skills as a Fall faerie. Six months have passed since Laurel saved the gateway to the faerie realm of Avalon. ![]() ![]() Brought to us by OBS staff member kpic724 ![]()

Will you marry me?”īookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, "I have it on good authority that he's stupid and arrogant and obstinate, or at least he was until he realized what a fool he has been." That's what you always do to try to get me to agree," she ended, and even she could hear the heartbreak in her voice. You're going to praise him first though, aren't you? ![]() "You can't decline until you know who he is," he reasoned. "I can't think when you… Just don't," she stammered. "Don't you dare kiss me again," she ordered. "Is that why you kissed me? So you could take me home and then marry me to a man I don't love? Who is he?" she demanded, emotionally spent now and uncaring that tears were streaming down her face. "There has been a request for your hand in marriage." ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I guess I should mention that I love the plays of Tennessee Williams. In one of Williams’s darkest plays-SUDDENLY, LAST SUMMER-there are moments that remind me a great deal of McDowell’s simmering novel. Hearing McDowell’s Luker talk to his mother Big Barbara reminded me powerfully of Brick’s frustrating conversations with Big Daddy in CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF. ![]() The dialogue, especially, reminds me of Williams. But some of the most fascinating aspects of Tennessee Williams’s plays are exhibited in this novel: atypical/dysfunctional familial relationships unpleasant truths suppressed or left unspoken horror-through-acquiescence moments of shocking violence manipulative, vicious matriarchs and patriarchs and a seething, suffocating atmosphere (both thermally and emotionally). This statement isn’t completely true, of course Michael McDowell was a fiercely unique author who wrote unlike any other. If Tennessee Williams wrote a supernatural horror novel, it would read like THE ELEMENTALS. ![]() ![]() Hence her application for the “Students Across the Seven Seas Study Abroad Program.” She wants to strike new territory for herself, and where better to do that than on another continent?īut while Elena has won the approval of the admissions committee with her politically-correct application, she knows Spain will be the place for her transformation.

The cupcakes were not particularly difficult at all, the possum heads were a little fiddly but were really just a Friday night in front of ABC crime with some fondant – woo hoo! PudStar asked for Possum Magic cupcakes for her fifth birthday – we have read her this book from birth, and I hope that like myself, she one day knows the story word for word. I’ve spoken before about what makes a book a classic, and ’Possum Magic’ ticks every box. ![]() ‘Possum Magic’ is timeless and ageless, and a story which will be enjoyed by generations of children to come. The text by Mem Fox is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful read aloud texts ever written, and the illustrations by Julie Vivas catapult the entire production into the realms of book greatness. I know this book word for word – having been read it as a child, performed it as a play at university, as a storytelling at ‘Out of the Box’ and having read it as a teacher, then teacher librarian then mother…I have surely recited this book hundreds of times. Though I now have it big book format, board book format and anniversary format – my original copy is the edition I most enjoy reading from. ‘Possum Magic’ was first published in 1983, and I still have my original copy from my childhood. Once upon a time, but not very long ago, deep in the Australian bush, there lived two possums. ![]() ![]() ![]() It contains plenty of information, photographs and diagrams on the page, and the latest Augmented Reality technology brings many interactive elements to enhance the reading experience.

Bringing together decades of partially laid out maps and hyperspace lanes, it formalised the location of many key worlds in the Star Wars galaxy, but beyond that set out the story of the galaxy’s mapping in a framework that included star-spanning wars, the rise and fall of empire’s and an expansion that sliced across the galaxy from the core to the outer rim and beyond. The release a decade ago of Star Wars: The Essential Atlas was a landmark moment for stellar cartographers everywhere. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In The Family Upstairs, the master of “bone-chilling suspense” (People) brings us the can’t-look-away story of three entangled families living in a house with the darkest of secrets.

When they arrived, they found a healthy ten-month-old happily cooing in her crib in the bedroom. Twenty-five years ago, police were called to 16 Cheyne Walk with reports of a baby crying.
