Experiencing Tristan’s pain really shattered my soul. He was a beautiful broken kind of monster. He was cold, he had shut down from life, he was just a walking shell of a human. ![]() It wrapped around your heart like a iron fist and I just knew I would fall helplessly in love with this man. The prologue made my heart stop beating, it actually gave me shivers, not because it was sexy or anything like that, it was because it just broke my heart so much. I was in awe of this woman’s writing hand and the ability to make me laugh my face off on one page and shed a tear at the next page. I’m a cover whore and the cover was what sold me more than anything, plus I had been hearing about how this author’s words just make you cry, and you know what she didn’t fail to make me cry with this book, God the feels I experienced I couldn’t even handle them myself. ![]() When I first started this book I didn’t know what to expect, I’d never read a book by this author so I was a little nervous and so damn excited… ![]() Crown of blood nicola tallis6/9/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() The contents of the documents really helped to contextualize the trial and the events leading up to it. It’s a brilliant feeling and a real privilege being able to handle original documents, and through this alone I got a real sense of immersion into the period. What did the trial documents add to your knowledge of Jane and Guildford? With this in mind I really tried to concentrate on the human and emotional aspects of her story and bringing those to the fore, while at the same time retaining historical accuracy. I really wanted to highlight that Jane was a real person who existed on more than the pages of books. One thing that struck me whilst I was researching was that over the years so many myths have attached themselves to Jane, that the real her has become somewhat obscure. What does your book add to existing works about Lady Jane? I’m glad that I did as it’s been a fascinating experience, and she has been an intriguing subject for a first book. It was only when I started delving around in various archives that I realised that there was more to say about Jane, and that she deserved a fresh appraisal. Initially I actually spent some time researching and writing about Jane’s mother, Lady Frances Brandon. ![]() ![]() Why did you choose this subject for your book? ![]() The book of earthsea6/9/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Le Guin’s Earthsea novels are some of the most acclaimed and awarded works in literature-they have received prestigious accolades such as the National Book Award, a Newbery Honor, the Nebula Award, and many more honors, commemorating their enduring place in the hearts and minds of readers and the literary world alike.Ĭelebrating the 50th anniversary of the timeless and beloved A Wizard of Earthsea that “reads like the retelling of a tale first told centuries ago” (David Mitchell)-this omnibus edition encompasses the entire Earthsea chronicles, including the early short stories, Le Guin’s “Earthsea Revisioned” Oxford lecture, and a new Earthsea story, never before printed. ![]() Cabin fever by jeff kinney6/9/2023 ![]() ![]() Greg’s mom doesn't want to give Greg money for him to spend on the site and says he has to earn money on his own.

This moral tone is not exactly original, but it gives contemporary atheism a fresh cultural momentum. ‘Church’, due mainly to a disregard for truth and an inability to respect humankind, is itself an immoral institution. Consequently Christian belief is also immoral. The Jesus story is a story which provides us with no sufficient reasons to believe it is more than just a story. Since there is no good reason to believe in anything ‘more’ it is immoral to believe in God. Contemporary atheism has a notable moral tone which goes something like this: The universe is what it is and does and nothing more. ![]() JLA, Vol. 1 by Grant Morrison6/9/2023 ![]() ![]() The League members survive the planet fall to Earth, but they all suffer severe injuries.
