Through the ever night5/24/2023 This is a sequel that does NOT disappoint! It's filled with action, suspense and romantic tension that kept me on the edge of my seat for the entire book. I fell in love with Aria and Perry in Under the Never Sky and their heart-stopping journey of love, sacrifice and forgiveness continues in Through the Ever Night as they search for a way to be together in a world that seeks to keep them apart. There is soooo much I want to say about this book but it really comes down to this, IT.WAS.FANFREAKINGTASTIC! Once again Veronica Rossi has managed to transport me into a realm of smart-eyes, aether storms and a blond haired, green eyed Savage who wouldn't need to use his gift in order to scent exactly how much I *hearts* him!

The Bayern Agenda by Dan Moren5/24/2023 Mineral deposits were one reason, but when it came right down to it, Kovalic was pretty sure that they’d done it just because they could. Still, humanity – or the Illyrican portion of it, at least – had decided this rock was worth colonizing. But he went where the Commonwealth told him to go, even if it meant going deep into enemy territory to a moon where even the nice parts didn’t get far above freezing for much of the year. Though why anybody would voluntarily choose to visit Sevastapol he had little idea it wasn’t as if he would be here if it weren’t for the job. Regulars, most of them, he guessed, with a sprinkling of tourists from elsewhere in the Illyrican Empire. He took in the antique shop in a glance, eyeing the few other customers on this frigid false night. Not so bored that somebody would want to engage him in conversation, and not so interested that he missed what was going on around him. Simon Kovalic’s gray eyes cast over the shelves with just the right mix of interest and vacancy. Especially when one was loitering with purpose.

Jack kerouac on the road 19575/24/2023 "Jack Kerouac's On the Road was a landmark event in American fiction when it was published in 1957, a counter-cultural credo that made Kerouac the reluctant figurehead of a generation that saw itself mirrored in his cast of restless seekers, "mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time." The exuberant, anguished questing of his protagonists Sal Paradise and Dean Moriarty was matched by the surging jazz-like cadences of his prose. The Library of America first edition, first printing.

A Castle of Sand by Bella Forrest5/24/2023 “Okay, let’s keep moving,” Lauren said firmly, taking the lead. “Seems they’re shy,” she remarked with a droll smile. There was a pregnant pause as we waited another thirty seconds to see if it would start again, and when it didn’t, Angie let out a sigh and ambled back to us. Lauren faltered as Angie turned around and held a finger to her lips. “So, are we going dude hunting now, or to the creek? Because they’re in two opposite directions, and as much as I would-” Lauren’s thick eyebrows rose high above the rim of her glasses as she exhaled. Ignoring Lauren’s comment, Angie strayed from the track and began to creep through the undergrowth toward the noise, leaving the two of us staring after her. “I would’ve done the same if I noticed some perv watching me.” Lauren frowned at Angie, looking dubious, but then shrugged. “Maybe I wasn’t imagining them after all! They could’ve spotted my head above the crops and just rolled off the logs before I took the picture, or something…” We met each other’s gazes, and I knew exactly what Angie was about to say from the triumphant gleam in her eyes before she said it. I was confused at first as to what exactly Angie was referring to, but then I heard it-a distant thunk, thunk, thunk.

Doctor Who by Lawrence Miles5/23/2023 As part of this grand opus, About Time 1 examines "Doctor Who" Seasons 1 to 3 (1963 to 1966) - the show's every beginnings, with William Hartnell in the lead role. In particular, Miles and Wood dissect the politics and social issues that shaped the show during its unprecedented 26-year run (from 1963 to 1989), detailing how the issues of the day influenced this series. Miles weaves his mentally tortured ideas into a coherent whole, and leaves you wanting a lot more. It features the Seventh Doctor, Chris and Roz. Written by Lawrence Miles ("Faction Paradox") and long-time sci-fi commentator Tat Wood, "About Time" focuses on the continuity of "Doctor Who" (its characters, alien races and the like), but also examines the show as a work of social commentary. The name Lawrence Miles on the spine helps: whenever a massive arc shift occurs in the DW universe, it's done most interestingly when Miles is the author (see 'Alien Bodies' and 'Interference'). Christmas on a Rational Planet is an original novel written by Lawrence Miles and based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. The Doctor is preparing to get married, yet he suffers from a mysterious illness. Constituting the largest reference work on "Doctor Who" ever written, the six-volume "About Time" strives to become the ultimate reference guide to the world?s longest-running science fiction program. Adventuress is an 8th Doctor story in which the Doctor and his companions, Fitz and Anji, spend about a year in 18th century London, with some travel to Paris and the Caribbean.
