I soooo enjoyed the strong female characters in this trilogy. Dig it out of the archives in your library or the forgotten shelves of your used book stores, buy it online, it’s a gem well worth the search. Yes it was written in the ‘80s, but this masterpiece should rightfully be on today’s pedestal that Twilight has acquired. Fantasy fans everywhere, you can find no better read. ![]() “tall, dark, and handsome” until you meet Irrylath, or the perfect, believable epitome of a heroine until you witness Ariel’s transformation throughout the trilogy. ![]() The world that Pierce has created is breathtaking, as creative and vivid as Tolkien's Middle Earth. While not about a traditional vampire, the story centers around a very similar but far more engaging creature. I'll say here what I say to everyone who gets teary-eyed over Twilight: the Darkangel Trilogy will astound you. ![]() Nowhere in this world can Twilight begin to compare. It is a horrible literary tragedy that Twilight could overshadow the Darkangel Trilogy.

Once you set the illusions aside, you can see yourself as pure energy and also decide where to direct that energy. Don Miguel Ruiz is the bestsellingauthor of TheFour Agreements (a New York Times bestsellerfor over a decade), The Four Agreements Companion Book, The MasteryofLove, The Voice of Knowledge, The Circle of Fire,and TheFifth Agreement. Through the transformative power of awareness and attention, we will learn to see beyond our stories about love-those that we are told, but also those that we tell ourselves-so that we can change the way we think and react. Using insightful stories to bring his message to life, Ruiz shows us how to heal our emotional wounds, recover the freedom and joy that are our birthright, and restore the spirit of. One by one, Don pulls back the veils that prevent us from glimpsing the true nature of love so that we can transcend the idea that has been programmed into us.

Eros: A Return to Unconditional Love: Volume 2 ![]() 5/10/2023 0 Comments The bfg audiobook![]() ![]() Dahl went on to create some of the best-loved children's stories of the 20th century, such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda and James and the Giant Peach. The book was commissioned by Walt Disney for a film that was never made, and published in 1943. His first children's book was The Gremlins, about mischievous little creatures that were part of RAF folklore. ![]() Its title was inspired by a highly inaccurate and sensationalized article about the crash that blinded him, which claimed he had been shot down instead of simply having to land because of low fuel. The story, about his wartime adventures, was bought by the Saturday Evening Post for $900, and propelled him into a career as a writer. Today the story is published as A Piece of Cake. ![]() Roald Dahl was a British novelist, short story writer and screenwriter of Norwegian descent, who rose to prominence in the 1940's with works for both children and adults, and became one of the world's bestselling authors.ĭahl's first published work, inspired by a meeting with C. ![]() 5/10/2023 0 Comments Northanger abbey movies![]() ![]() Allen interactions of talking AT each other instead of TO each other. There were a few things I missed from the book that weren’t in the movie like Henry telling the story about the chest and the Mrs. I liked that this movie adaption went into her childhood and showed a few scenes from it. Jane Austen totally info-dumps about Catherine’s childhood and I’m always amazed at how she can pull that off without being boring. I liked Catherine coming up with that insane theory in the book for no reason whatsoever. The movie made John Thorpe seem more obviously devious and I’m not sure I was a fan of him planting the weed of something being wrong with Henry’s mother’s death. I really liked the scenes where Catherine’s imagination ran wild. I always like seeing how directors take ideas and themes in books and make them visual. There’s something about watching Jane Austen’s stories come to life that just highlights the sarcasm and wit that she has. I thought this was a great adaption of Northanger Abbey and it was a lot of fun to watch. ![]() Yay JJ Field! He plays Henry, one of the only funny Jane Austen heroes, and does it marvelously. ![]() If you love Austenland, like I did, then you need to see JJ Field in this 2007 adaption of Northanger Abbey. ![]() 5/10/2023 0 Comments Shonda rhimes book yes![]() I’d say Year Of Yes is a non-fiction book about the transformative power of being open to new things and overcoming ingrained anxiety, as exemplified by one extraordinary woman. It’s not self-help, either – even though Rhimes offers a lot of advice and wisdom gleaned from what she’s done. ![]() It’s not a memoir, exactly – even though it’s told through the frame of Rhimes’ experiment. She’s now written this book, Year Of Yes, about her experience. She embraced the challenge and decided to go against all her better instincts, to spend the year saying YES. Well, you can’t lay down a gauntlet like that in front of a powerhouse like Rhimes. Then, while cooking Thanksgiving dinner in 2013, her sister said something to her, something Rhimes calls the “six startling words”: you never say yes to anything. But the truth was, actually, she was too afraid. As a show-runner for multiple Big Time Mega Hit Must-Watch shows, and a single mother to three kids, no one ever doubted her when she said she was “too busy”. Really, Rhimes said “no” to everything as a way of hiding from things that terrified her (can’t we all relate, just a little bit?). ![]() (And yes, I am an affiliate, which means I’ll earn a small commission from any sales made through links on this page.) ![]() |
