Thinks he’s the man and his shit doesn’t stink. And what is with Roberto? What an arrogant dickwad. We get it that he’s a drunken asshole, we don’t need his drunken asshole life in such detail. Griffin’s hateful and largely useless existence - don’t need that. The gross side trip into Teacake’s teenage sex life?! Bleah, spare me. But the other character’s musings, backstory and inner monologues drove me nuts. It reminded me of how King brought characters into the story in The Stand. Here’s why - I didn’t mind the interludes with Mooney - thinking about who he was, how he’d connect with the other characters and what his role would be was fun. I basically skipped and skimmed a lot of sections, something I never did with C’s books. It’s crazy and wonderful, but it wasn’t enough. The basic info at the beginning of the book is correct - they do take over insect bodies and redirect behavior in order to spread their spores. How could it not? It’s about fungus! I love mushrooms and have read a lot about them as a result of my passion for photographing them. It’s often compared to Crichton, but it doesn’t win that contest. I call them science thrillers and this book fits into that category. When Crichton was alive I read pretty much everything he wrote.

Over two thousand years ago, Kyrian was a commander in the Greek army. Luckily, Amanda's friend, Grace, just happens to be married to a demigod, who was also Kyrian's best friend eons ago. But before they can find out, they will have to escape their prison and find a way to remove the handcuffs which can only be opened by a Greek god. It seems that their assailant, the Daimon, Desiderius, may have been after Tabitha because of her vampire hunting activities. Amanda doesn't think that things could get much worse, but when "yummy leather guy" wakes up, it doesn't take long for her to realize that the man she is attached to is not human, but a vampire - or so she thinks. She awakens in a strange room to find herself handcuffed to a gorgeous blond hunk dressed in black leather.

LIBRARY NOTES: DECLUTTERING AND ORGANIZINGĭo you have too much clutter in your life? Do you find yourself quickening your pace and averting your eyes whenever you pass through that messy garage? And let’s not even discuss those piles up in the attic that are out of sight and out of mind. Cervantes's complex and polyvalent representation of freedom underpins such an approach a concept which is considered to be a leitmotif of Cervantes's work but which has received scant attention with regards to his theatre. Considered on its own aesthetic terms, but also taking into account ontological and socio-cultural concerns, this study compels a re-assessment of Cervantes's drama and conflates any monolithic interpretations which do not allow for the textual interplay of contradictory and conflicting discourses which inform it. Book excerpt: The Signifying Self: Cervantine Drama as Counter-Perspective Aesthetic offers a comprehensive analysis of all eight of Cervantes's Ocho comedias (published 1615), moving beyond conventional anti-Lope approaches to Cervantine dramatic practise in order to identify what, indeed, his theatre promotes.

There’s only so much heartache I can take. With everything I’ve been through, I didn’t expect to fall for him. I teased him, tempted the two of us and now there’s no way to take it back. He was my protector and my confidant and then he became my lover. I did though, and I was the first one to break. I shouldn’t have dreamed about him breaking the rules to comfort me the way I desperately needed. I shouldn’t have focused on the way he licked his bottom lip every time his gaze dropped from mine and roamed my curves. I shouldn’t have wondered how it would feel to be trapped under his broad shoulders. There was so much tragedy and he was supposed to fix me. It made every accidental touch more sinful and every session more addictive. He was tall, dark and handsome, but, most notably, forbidden. What I desired most, with my life in disarray, was the man who sat across from me. I was born into luxury and used to getting what I wanted.
