![]() I realised really early on that despite watching and reading many books and movies centred around Greek mythology that I didn’t actually know that much about it and it was interesting to learn of the origins of Gaia and Kronos and how these myths and legends still resonate today in words and phrases we used.Īfter the creation of the modern gods that we know Zeus, Hera, Hades etc we get to see how Zeus overthrows Kronos who overthrew his own father and how Zeus became the all powerful god we know him as. From the very first sentence Stephen Fry’s comedic nature came through very clearly as he depicts the creation of the first Titans, their incestuous relationship and resulting offspring and the rising of the first Gods in Zeus and his siblings. ![]() Review: I was excited to pick up Stephen Fry’s new book retelling the Great Mythology since I have been a huge fan of all mythology since I was a child. ![]() Title: Mythos: The Greek Myths Retold (Stephen Fry’s Great Mythology #1) ![]()

![]() Scorsese, working from a novel by Dennis Lehane, seems to be telling a simple enough story here the woman is missing, and Teddy and Chuck will look for her. Teddy - such an innocuous name in such a gothic setting. It's clear that Teddy has no idea what he's getting himself into. Cawley, played by Ben Kingsley with that forbidding charm he has mastered. Not after the visitors are shown into the office of the prison medical director, Dr. Not after the ominous walls of the prison arise. The disappearance of one prisoner might not require the presence of two marshals unfamiliar with the situation, but we never ask that question. There seems to be no way to leave the island alive. ![]() ![]() It's 1954, and they are assigned to investigate the disappearance of a child murderer ( Emily Mortimer). ![]() ![]() We were doomed from the very beginning with those names. The next he seemed to be completely mine. And day after day my heart started to get a mind of its own. ![]() No, he still didn’t talk much, but anyone can string a few words together. The day he lured me into his office-which was also the first day we met-he proposed. It wasn’t long after he said I was the biggest mistake of his life that things started to change. Marriage for One is a new standalone, slow burn Contemporary Romance. I blamed his eyes, the ocean blue eyes that looked straight into mine unapologetically, and that frown on his face I had no idea I would become so fascinated with in time. ![]() Jack Hawthorne was nothing like what I’d imagined for myself. It took him only minutes to talk me into a business deal…erm, I mean marriage, and only days for us to officially tie the knot. Well…I did all those things except the walking away part. You’d think I’d laugh in his face, call him insane-and a few other names-then walk away as quickly as possible. A stranger who had been dumped by her fiancé only weeks before. A complete stranger who had never even heard of him. You’d think a guy who looked like him-a bit cold maybe, but still striking and very unattainable-would only ask the love of his life to marry him, right? You’d think he must be madly in love. ![]() ![]() You can read this before Marriage for One PDF EPUB full Download at the bottom. Here is a quick description and cover image of book Marriage for One written by Ella Maise which was published in. Brief Summary of Book: Marriage for One by Ella Maise ![]() ![]() ![]() Jordan As I found out, Jordan is the girl, and it’s funny because before reading the book I was so sure that Jordan was the guy in the story, LOL.Īnyways, I really liked her. In fact it’s what caught my attention back in April when I saw it for the first time.Īlso there’s something about that line between the boy and the girl – maybe it’s not supposed to have a meaning, but the book is all about crossing the line – with the guy Jordan liked, with her friends, with her family, her choices and options, and so on. ![]() “When unrequited love is the most expensive thing on the menu, sometimes you settle for the daily special” ![]() I could have hugged them all and take them home, that’s how much I like them. They filled my day with their jokes and their joy and for a moment, between laughs, they made me miss my old friends from high school. From Jordan and Henry, to JJ, Carter, Ty and the girls, and even the family members – they were all so great that I wished for them to be part of my life. This book was amazingly cute, and the characters too adorable for words. Ha-haa, what a fun way to spend the evening. ![]() ![]() ![]() Pamuk built The Museum of Innocence in the house in which his hero's fictional family lived, to display Kemal's strange collection of objects associated with Fusun and their relationship. Orhan Pamuk's first novel since winning the Nobel Prize is a stirring love story and exploration of the nature of romance. The novel depicts a panoramic view of life in Istanbul as it chronicles this long, obsessive love affair and Pamuk beautifully captures the identity crisis experienced by Istanbul's upper classes that find themselves caught between traditional and westernised ways of being. ![]() In his romantic pursuit of Füsun over the next eight years, Kemal compulsively amasses a collection of objects that chronicles his lovelorn progress-a museum that is both a map of a society and of his heart. The Museum of Innocence - set in Istanbul between 1975 and today - tells the story of Kemal, the son of one of Istanbul's richest families, and of his obsessive love for a poor and distant relation, the beautiful Fusun, who is a shop-girl in a small boutique. ![]() ![]() She’s worried about surviving separatists and a fresh attempt to upend the Confederation. Promoted and sent north to the tundra of Windscar, Iari leads a team of templars to investigate ancient, subterranean ruins, which local legend claims are haunted, and which have mysterious connections to the dangerous arithmancy used by the wichu separatists. But after she helped stop separatists from sabotaging the entire Confederation, she discovered a new sort of monster: the rogue-arithmancer, political kind. As a templar in the Aedis, a multi-species religious organization committed to protecting the Confederation, eliminating extra-dimensional horrors is her job. ![]() Set in the universe of Rory Thorne, the second book in this sci-fi series follows unlikely allies who must discover the secrets of ancient ruins. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Moonbeams are all about rewarding these books and bringing them to the attention of parents, booksellers, librarians – and to the kids themselves.” “They’ve already had a big impact on the judges and the kids that read them, so we know these books were created to enrich childrens’ lives. “This year’s Moonbeam award winners confirm that books can change children’s lives,” says Moonbeam Awards founder Jerrold Jenkins, father of four children ranging in ages 11 to 21. The diversity of the winning publishers proves that promoting childhood literacy knows no boundaries, as medal-winners came not only from long-established publishers and university presses, but from small presses, foundations, and self-published entrepreneurs. Many of our award-winning books encourage children to be generous and compassionate, to stand up to bullies, and to believe in fulfilling their dreams. The Moonbeam Children's Book Awards are intended to bring increased recognition to exemplary children’s books and their creators, and to celebrate children’s books and life-long reading. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() These two glorious stereotypes have appeared often in past Kristen Ashley books and like many readers I was fascinated by them both and how their relationship formed. This is the story of Marcus, who operates his business on the “wrong side of the law”, and his Dolly Parton lookalike ex-stripper wife. This is a short book and I had already read this on kindle so I knew it would be good. *You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.* ![]() I loved the narrator <3 She did a great job and she used her "Daisy" voice. I bow down to Kristen Ashley for all of her work, but the Rock Chicks just have that extra place in my heart and it just grew today because of Daisy and Marcus. If you are even a little bit of a Rock Chick fan you’re going to want to pick up your kindle or your paperback, grab the audiobook and read this heartwarming love story of two who come one. This book is about her before Marcus and how she meets him and how they come a couple but it’s so much more. Nothing seems to get her down, this book oh my it just hits you in the feels. Swoon stole my beating heart! I have been dyeing to learn more about Daisy since forever it feels like, she just has that charisma you can’t help but want to be near or learn about. ![]() OMG… I want to have a man build a Castle for me!!
