Ilsa j bick ashes series5/30/2023 Dystopian and apocalypse buffs, as well as fans of the earlier novel, will find this an exceptionally well-developed look at one way in which the end of the world could play out. The shifting narrative perspective to other central characters offers both an extended view on what is happening in each of several key locations and a break from Alex’s misery. It’s quite a lot for one girl, however tough, to take, and she crumbles often, eliciting both reader sympathy and exasperation. All of these endeavors would be derailed quickly should her brain cancer, which thanks to the EMP disappeared along with most of humanity, suddenly return. In this middle volume of an anticipated trilogy (beginning with Ashes), Alex continues to hover on the edge of sanity and survival as she fights the zombies created by a cataclysmic electromagnetic pulse avoids the creepy powers that sent her out of a protected community and into the wilderness and searches for her missing love. This horror/survival story (with extremely graphic violence) presents an intriguing take on zombie fiction. The trio's deepening bond adds to the already high tension. Survivor Alex teams up with eight-year-old Ellie and soldier Tom to search for other people. An electromagnetic pulse kills most of the country's population instantly many of those left become zombielike, "brain-zapped" cannibals. Once Upon a Cruise by Anna Staniszewski5/30/2023 It just really fulfilled the ending of how Ainsley was once her mom's rock and now she is her anchor :) My favorite part of the book is the anchor and rock thing though. The book also makes me want to go on a cruise because they sound really fun. I thought it was cool how Ainsley liked to photograph wildlife because I do too. I also didn't like how they had to use the cousins or German/Russian version of the Disney characters because it threw me off a little. I am really happy that it was a happy ending because I can't stand a bad ending to a book. It's a little depressing when the parents are split up and things get hairy between Ainsley and her mom. It was really weird though how Alyssa was making a collection of scars and moles and I kind of thought that was gross. There were some really funny parts too, when she ended up passing out on the bed and still woke back up just before the end to play her part was really funny. I really like how Ainsley ended up with Piggy Ian because they were meant to be. I really hated how Neil had to be a stuck up who told on Ainsley. I love how Ainsley always is helpful to her mom. This isn't the best book I have read but it's still pretty good. Seedfolks by Paul Fleischman5/30/2023 As it comes alive, it breathes new life into an erstwhile sterile neighborhood.

A Smoking Hot Interracial Romance from the 50 Loving States series. Nicholas eames the band5/30/2023 My brother lies-like, a lot-but always in service to telling a better story. My brother was also the inspiration for the two-headed ettin, Gregor and Dane (although they’re named for the Allman Brothers). Have you used any other real world inspirations with any of the other characters? You have said there is a lot of your relationship with your brother written into the friendship between Clay Cooper and Gabriel (I am paraphrasing). That said, the death of one character can be a very useful tool for motivating another, which is why-Well, I suppose I’d better stop there… While this is a great tool for fostering tension and keeping the stakes high, I think it’s possible to do so while not killing off characters for shock value alone. When I wrote Kings of the Wyld I wanted it to be different from what I’d been reading for the last decade or so-which is to say books wherein the main characters could and would die at any moment. What difficulties do you face writing the death of a beloved character? Of course, fantasy readers (and agents, and editors) love a good trilogy, so while I devised the plots of books two and three shortly after finishing the first, it was important to me that each book feature a new cast of characters, so as not to devalue the point of the first. I wrote Kings of the Wyld to be a standalone book, since it’s very much a story about a band’s last great adventure. Did you know where the storylines of Bloody Rose and Outlaw Empire were heading when you wrote Kings of the Wyld? Xoxo axie oh review5/30/2023 Being friends with Jaewoo and the other members immediately puts Jenny under an unwanted spotlight. And finds out he’s a member of one of the biggest K-pop bands ever. No one is more surprised than Jenny when she runs into Jaewoo at the school. Jenny and her mom are going to South Korea to support her with Jenny spending the semester studying at Seoul Arts Academy. Jenny’s plan to forget about the boy and focus on her music goes sideways when she finds out her grandmother needs surgery. He even says he’ll keep in touch when he has to go back to South Korea. But that doesn’t stop Jenny from having a great time with him. Everything about this boy screams bad decision. Still smarting from the criticism, Jenny decides to try stepping out of her comfort zone when she meets a cute guy at her uncle’s karaoke bar in LA. But after her music teacher says her cello playing lacks spark, Jenny is worried that might not be enough. Jenny knows she is technically talented enough. Sixteen-year-old Jenny Go’s entire life revolves her plan to get into a prestigious music conservatory. Struggling to forgive herself for a mistake which cost an innocent man more than a decade of his life and left a guilty man free to attack others, Jennifer found herself able to heal because of Ronald’s forgiveness. The tragedy, however, unexpectedly forged a close bond and friendship between the two. A DNA test conducted in 1995 exonerated Ronald for the heinous act, leading to his release and a full pardon, but it simultaneously threw Jennifer’s life into disarray. Ronald is a man who spent 10 1/2 years in prison for a crime he did not commit based primarily on testimony given by Jennifer, a woman who had mistakenly picked him out of a line-up as the man who had raped her. The essay was delivered by two people, Ronald Cotton and Jennifer Thompson-Cannino. Part of NPR’s on-going series of personal essays called This I Believe, the segment illustrated for me the meaning of true forgiveness as perfectly as anything I’ve ever heard. Thursday night I heard a short piece on the radio that brought me close to tears.
